Taffy Factory

Did you know that a "taffy factory" is a name you can use for any kitschy place you go to. Any place at all. I for one immediately think of 2/3rds of the places you pay to go in Wisconsin Dells, but that is because of my personal experience in that place.

A friend of mine introduced me to this term and I fell in love with it. It is up there with "candy store" for liquor store and...well I guess that is the only equivalent I can think of. But I love it. I love words in general that stand for something else...especially ones that other people or the general public don't know about.

For example,

Nammers.
Tuls.
Happysuck.
Crunk Monster.
and others that have been made up over the years by my sister and I.

Please add any that you can think of.
