Femanin recently made its list of the most dangerous gangs in each state. Here's what it had to say about Iowa:

C Block is a street gang operating mainly in the city of Des Moines in Iowa, well-known for its long history of drug dealing and violent crimes. C Block has been so dangerous that the FBI spent months investigating them before recent convictions, particularly of cocaine dealing. C Block is also known to be connected to another dangerous gang, the Crips.

Although numerous members of the notorious gang have been arrested in recent years, C-Block appears to still be alive and well in the Hawkeye State, as they are still committing crimes and recruiting new members.

WHAT IS A TWIN BING?

"It consists of two round, chewy, cherry-flavored nougats coated with a mixture of chopped peanuts and chocolate. The Twin Bing was introduced in the 1960s," -Wikipedia

Not only has the TB been a staple of the Sioux Empire for over half a decade, but the makers of the classic candy have also infused the unique cherry and chocolate flavor into lots of other things.
