Shent
A brand, made in the 1900’s. In 1922, a man named Jimmy Sellin founded a chain called B.M.‘s Candy Co..
As an infant, Jimmy was dumped by his parents. One day, Jimmy saw something that could change his life forever.
He saw a poster with cow tits, which read “Rip ass NOW!” with a picture of David Niven, smoking a cigar. In 1913, 15 year old Jimmy tried to sell used condoms to get cash. While selling candy never came to mind, he did go down that route eventually.
Despite Jimmy not getting that much money, he earned a tolerable amount of cash. Jimmy decided to make his own candy, after brainstorming ideas.
He had little to no ingredients to work with, but that didn’t stop him from making candy that was delectable. While attempts at giving out samples were failures, he found an ingredient that gave them a kick (being pig shit ).
That was when Jimmy and his creation started getting the recognition he deserved. It was featured in daily newspapers, radio stations, billboards. Anywhere that you could think of. And just like that, this was when the founding of Jimmy’s company all began.
Not only did his corporation create the iconic Shent brand, but it also created other products. It even created candy brands that weren’t even made by the other companies yet (Wrigley’s, Hershey’s, etc.) .
Unfortunately, in 1993, Jimmy Sellins died, at the age of 96, due to a kidney stone so big that it split his penis in half. He will be remembered for his creation of Shent, for years to come.
