16th August
* Get ready for a hyper day because our theme is:
* CANDY * CANDY * CANDY * CANDY *
* What better to start off a candy themed day than with a Chocolate Neopet? Wait... there's no Chocolate paint brush!
* Chocolate is the theme for the User Lookup of the Week!
* If you are getting hungry, why not pick up a lolly from the Chocolate Factory to eat while you read the rest of New Features?
* Even more chocolate is coming to New Features with pokemon_lunatic's chocolate covered Gallery Spotlight!
* To add a little more sweetness to your everyday life maybe you want to get this new Background for your desktop.
* There is a new Mystery Pic competition. The answer to the last one was Cyodrake Shop Blog. 366 people guessed correctly, earning them 5465 NP each.
* *Drool* These new treats from the Chocolate Factory look mighty delicious...
* If your shop isn't sweet enough, it might be time to change your Shopkeeper.
* Congratulations to x_shaheen_x, creator of Maze of DEATH! and winner of the latest Meridell Castle Spotlight award!
* Even the Art Gallery has some sweet images ready to be viewed.
...What do they mean by mentioning the lack of a Chocolate PB? Is this something in the works now, or are they just teasing us with another lab-only color?

The chocolate color has always been a lab only color since its release actually.

Your right, there was. But it was the news that was supposed to be released last night, I guess they are trying to get back on schedule.

Eh, sorry, I wasn't making myself clear.
I know chocolate is already an established lab color; I was wondering if they're now going to make a brush for it as well.

I'm probably the only one who saw the news and immediately thought of the old Garfield Halloween special, where Garfield chants, "Candy candy candy candy" at some point. (At least, I'm pretty sure it was him. Been years since I've seen it.)
Back on topic, I was also a teeny bit puzzled at the "But wait! There's no Chocolate paint brush!" I half-expected to see one further down on the news page.
I dunno, it's hard to explain why, but it just seemed like an odd remark.
Finally, that Baby Ogrin shopkeeper with all the lollipops in its mouth is tres cute.

Yes, candy is all well and good... but prizes are better.

Well, on the same note, I'm probably the only one who thought of the Animaniacs episode "Ups and Downs", where Wakko chants "Candy, candy, candy."
Hooray for old cartoons. =D
And, the longer we go without prizes in the news, the more I think that Hoban's treasure map leads straight to them. T_T Ah, well. At least the new shopkeepers are cute. ^_^
