A candy named Mary Jane with a little girl’s skirt blowing up in the wind. Tastes like taffy.
5:25 A.M. - For two years of my life I woke up, more often than not, at 5:25 a.m. It's only bad when you're not used to it. After a week of waking up before sunrise nothing could feel more normal. It's amazing what we adapt to. Anything. My alarm was always set ... - #

Is there a reason this was sitting on your desk all week, Osito?
i have a cousin named mary jane. after i got to a certain age (high school), i always wondered if she got sick of the references to the song and marijuana.
Elenita,
I like my Mary Jane aged like good wine.
Cindylu,
You mean the Manu Chao song?
Mary Jane ain’t so good. Not like Taffy, more like hardned to a brick peanut butter with a powder dirt taste.
Actually, Mary Jane was a bit of early marketing - she started out as a comic strip character. A similar example is Buster Brown and his dog Tige, who also were once comic strip characters (in their own strip), and are now trademark logos for kids’ shows. Dinty Moore is now a logo for canned stew - originally he owned a bar & grill in the comic strip “Bringing Up Father,” otherwise known as “Jiggs and Maggie”…
So what comic strip did Mary Jane appear in? Why, she was Buster Brown’s girlfriend…
