The Roadside America site (see below) has a comment from the owner of Atomic Candy himself, noting that he found this head in a Dallas antique store, so its current provenance is unknown. It definitely fits in with some of the interesting things on display here, and one wouldn't be surprised if it starting dispensing wisdom, à la Mimir in Norse mythology.
Hours:
Sunday: 12 PM to 8 PM
Monday - Saturday: 11 AM to 9 PM
There is a certain amount of retro and kitsch going on here, and they have literally hundreds of different kinds of candy, lots and lots of soda pop, and plenty of toys, all of which will make you say "Hey, I remember that..." They've got candy that you used to eat, your father used to eat, and even your grandfather used to eat. Then there's the bizarre stuff, like candy with bugs or bacon-flavored treats. This is a really dangerous place to go after you've dined somewhere on the square, as you're likely to pick up something sweet for now, and a few other things for later. There's no admission cost to see Paul Bunyan's head, but your wallet may be a little lighter after doing some shopping.
Price of Admission: 0.00 (listed in local currency)
