My name is Pierre Thibault, founder and owner of Bonbons Choppy. I live in the charming little city of St-Césaire, Québec, about thirty minutes from Montréal. Eight years ago, on a Florida beach, I had an experience that quite literally changed my life. It was unexpected, sudden, and nothing short of a sensorial epiphany. I was leisurely strolling down the beach with an old friend enjoying the warm afternoon sun and ocean breeze when he casually reached into his pocket and offered me a candy. Being a little ambivalent about candy at the time and more absorbed by the conversation, I hesitated but finally accepted, more out of courtesy than anything else. What happened next is the very reason I founded Bonbons Choppy eight years ago and share this story with you today.
The surprisingly clean bold flavour hit home, stopping me dead in my tracks. My friend slowly turned and smiled at me knowingly. In a flash of sense memory, I was once again, the tiny tot beaming with bright eyes at the shiny multi-colored delights lovingly cupped in the palm of my grandmother's hand. The promise of forbidden pleasure! I just stood there, almost dumbfounded. The candy was so good and the experience so vividly reminiscent of a time almost forgotten; a less complicated, less worried, less hurried time of youthful innocence and simple pleasures, a time of unbridled imagination, enthusiasm, and the absolute belief that all things are possible. My old friend's name is Choppy, and he had just given me the best darn candy I had ever tasted. So good in fact that I decided right then and there that a candy this good must be shared with as many people as possible. I bounced out of semi-retirement from the Communications industry with the feverish passion of an excited child stripping off a candy wrapper and founded Bonbons Choppy. As I now have the privilege of recreating the childhood magic of candy for young and old alike, I continuously relive my little sensorial epiphany with Choppy through our many satisfied customers from coast to coast. Now, like Choppy, I too am smiling. Whatever your pleasure - traditional and decadent or health-minded and sugar-free, let Bonbons Choppy appease your inner child and create memories for your loved ones they will cherish forever. As a grandfather, it is now my turn to enjoy the big bright eyes of my grandchildren beaming with anticipation, as they gaze at the shiny multi-colored delights I lovingly offer them. I invite you to relive the magic, and return to a time when all things were possible.
