Only thing is your peanut allergies make it impossible to enjoy those Reeses peanut butter cups. Or you have an aversion to Junior Mints.
Operation Candy Buyback allows you to take that candy and trade it in for more practical items like toothpaste and dental floss at participating dentists across south Florida. The candy is then sent to our troops overseas as a sweet reminder that we're thinking of them back home.
