Candy scabs

by Nick Vagnoni, Posted Jul 22nd 2006 @ 7:06PM

I'd like to think that I've managed to maintain some level of childlike wonder, even in my mid 20s, but I'll be damned if these edible candy scabs don't gross me out. The folks at Candy Addict posted about these earlier this week and they appear equally disgusted. Basically, these are adhesive bandages with lickable candy scabs in them. You can stick them on say, your arm, and then peel them off to lick in an opportune public place. Each Lick Your Wounds scab/bandage is about $1.50 and they'll be available in September from Candy Warehouse.

That's what this is about. It doesn't matter what it tastes like. It's the culinary equivalent of a joy buzzer or a whoopie cushion.

Actually, I teach kids. Now I'm thinking of buying a box. Think of the look of disgust when I pluck off a scab in class, and eat it before their horrified eyes...

There is so much real bad stuff going on, what is the matter with getting a great laugh and really grossing out stuffed shirts in a bank lobby, or at your law office, or wow! what about pediatricians trying to lighten up a pedi cancer ward? I can think of one million uses. not the least of which to gross out my 5 kids with, and make a really funny memory. Grow up, would ya? this is what life is really all about.
