According to Food Network, at least one candy company still uses powdered red
beets for the red part of the candy cane.  Period solutions are sometimes the
best!

Fried egg on burger is not unknown in the USA.  It's seen more in the Mom'n'Pop
burger stands than at major chains.  My favorite chain, Fatburger, still has the
fried egg as an option, like it did when it was just the one stand on La Cienega
Boulevard that was open all night... doze were da dayz.
