Ben and Kendall started taking candy that older people remember from their childhood to retirement homes, rehabilitation centers, and nursing homes when they were just 14. They visit with the residents and listen to their stories about eating these candies. They say a lot of older adults have problems remembering things that happened today or even this week but they often have no problem remembering things from their childhood. The candy triggers happy memories.
