This whole Hot Topic thing is becoming pretty funny.

So they start with singles. Then they make a peyote. Now they have a multi. It's funny how they're trying so hard. Do they really think that any ravers/kandi kids are going to spend 10 dollars on something that they can make themselves for about 2 dollars? I mean come on.

Hot Topic sells things that are a "hot topic". Basically what's popular right now. Like for example, it was a "hot topic" a few months ago for the anime Sailor Moon because it had its 20th anniversary and I believe it's getting a reboot anime sometime so I had saw alot of Sailor Moon stuff at HT and it was pretty awesome. :3 I haven't actually been to a HT store in a long time but I visited its website and I only saw those singles and one style of cuff which was like a skull and crossbones. The prices seem a bit expensive, but that's Hot Topic for ya! I still like that store though. X3 SO FAR that I know of, Hot Topic hasn't attempted to call their pony bead stuff kandi. So I don't think people should worry! ;3; Not everyone who makes pony bead jewelry even knows about kandi. So it's not something people should get mad and judge so quickly for. Kandi's really neat and it's just fun to enjoy it with others who like it or are interested in it. <3

I don't live in the US by the way so Hot Topic is the only place I have seen who sells cuffs/ "kandi"

"ChibiBel": Little 13 year olds who don't know about kandi or how it is made will walk in and think it's unique and pretty, and that is how Hot Topic profits from it. It's sad, really :/ AHH ah i started makeing kandi when i was 10 years old xD

I don't think it really matters. It's not like we made up kandi. If they want to sell it, let them. It's great for people who don't know how to make it. But it's way too overpriced.
