Except for when a candy cane has had the name and story of Jesus Christ attached to it.
Excerpt from the article: Candy Canes at Christmas: Sometimes other Christian meanings are giving to the parts of the canes. The 'J' can also mean Jesus. The white of the cane can represent the purity of Jesus Christ and the red stripes are for the blood he shed when he died on the cross. The peppermint flavor can represent the hyssop plant that was used for purifying in the Bible.
And sometimes it's just a candy cane. And look at the way they hang, it's not like a J at all, it's like a, well...a cane.
Christ/blood are also symbolic...they going to ban that too? How about Lambs?
Petty and ridiculous.
