Red and White.

The Color of proper Candy Canes and those round swirl mints that are wrapped in plastic twisted on each end. I don't hold with this new-fangled colored stuff, although I do sometimes like the fruit-flavored more colorful candy canes. But if you get the red and white you know where you stand. Pepperminty goodness.

Just thinking about it - peppermint is pink too.
But only in the case of seaside rock.

That is all.

I imagine that your reaction to this question is different in December when candy canes abound, and July when Mojitos and Mint Juleps are near to hand.

Candy Canes are still red and white out of season. It's not like they go bad and turn green on January 1st.

Lumberjim Vs Wolf ... hmmm, that'd be an interesting match-up.

(Hang on, didn't that happen in Little Red Riding Hood?)
