This is a hoax created by the candy company. It was a publicity stuny and made by several people. the mother and daughter were paid to swear they made the dress themselves.

Actually I dont think it is due to the fact that the Mom had sent a request to the makers of starburst candy to "send" her the wrappers without the candy. They declined... She says that she was buying 20 lbs. of the candy per week to do the job. I dont know why they (starburst) wouldn't do as she asked as this would have been FREE advertising. I realize they're still getting the "free" advertising but also the negative publicity for not supplying the wrappers "free of charge". Now, after the fact they "starburst" want the publicity & free exposure. Cheapies...

Kim, where's your proof for your statement? "This is a hoax created by the candy company." How do you know this and why were the wrappers having to be straightened out if the factory sent them? Please post the link to prove your statement.

I hope no one is diabetic either.Cute outfits.

I THINK ITS GREAT JUST SHOWS YOU YOU DONT HAVE TO GO OUT AND PAY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR SOMETHING JUST TO SHOW OFF FOR THE JONES , JUST HAVING A THOUGHTFULL MOM THAT CARES.

@judge

You do know that dress probably cost more then a regular prom dress. After having to buy all of that candy its has to be way more then a hundred bucks. I don't think there is anything wrong with paying good money for a good dress. I paid almost 200 for each of my prom dresses and paid about 300 for my 8th grade graduation dress.

@whatever It isn't about the money. That's something no one from that class will ever forget. When they reach their 25th year reunion, people will still be talking about that dress while others try to remember what they wore. It's something different, unique! Guaranteed no other dress there like it! For her date to act the way he did about the vest and saying he "didn't really have a choice," I hope she dumps his dumb butt!

Duct Tape offered a very generous Scholarship for making your Prom dress and Tux out of it! Hello Wrigley!!!

You are right! They should offer a scholarship. But heck if they wouldn't send her just labels as she requested why would they do a scholarship? To make her buy all that candy, you think they would be glad to send her labels since her daughter is advertising their candy! And to Kim that said this was a hoax by the candy company, don't be so suspicious, some people do do things for themselves.
