One year later, that Dylan's Candy Bar in Union Square is finally finished—and in true Dylan fashion, it'll debut with a super-sweet, rainbow-hued bang. Tomorrow, the new location will be the site of a ribbon cutting ceremony, a marching candy band (!?), and yes, an entire collection of sweets devoted to the 11-year-old Mean Girls.

Also included in the opening celebrations is some potentially life-changing news if you work in the area: The store will now serve breakfast pastries, from blueberry muffins to applesauce doughnuts between 7am and 11am.

As for the Mean Girls treats, there'll be everything from Kalteen bars to sugar cookies in the shape of a Burn Book, popcorn-flavored jelly beans called "Is Butter a Carb?" and this admittedly wonderful plastic wine tumbler filled with gummy bears and emblazoned with the words, "I'm not a regular mom, I'm a cool mom." Stop by on National Mean Girls Day (October 3rd, of course), for the official launch party, where there'll reportedly be trivia, giveaways "and other grool festivities."
