Candy Boys' Video for "Nothing That Candy Can't Fix" Is a Sugar Coated, MS-DOS Playground

Get down, get ridiculous, don't tell your dentist.

Candy Boys are coming in strong with a statement! Listen up! "There's nothing that candy can't fix!" And it's not even like they mean, "Oh eat a Twix you'll feel better, yum sugar," it's more like candy is most excellent in a practical sense.

The crop top favoring duo had this anecdote to impart: "Once during a performance the belts on our fanny packs broke and we used Twizzlers and Bubble gum to fix them. There's nothing candy can't fix!"
