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.Candy scabs

Yes, but think of the look on your parents faces when you walk by them, pluck off a scab, and eat it before their horrified eyes. 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...

Yech! This is even worse than wrapping those fruit leather things around your fingers and sucking on them, like we did in elementary school when I was a kid. (Does that give away that I grew up in the 70s?)

uh... i know some of the kids i know will be grossing out people for weeks then get over the whole thing...
BUT SERIOUSLY!! CANDY SCABS!! YUK!!! so gross i can't even begin to comprehend the whole thing...
' lick you scabs! for the enjoyment and grossed-outness of you friends! make them think you have ABOSOLUTELY No hygeine! '
i expect that right there to be their slogan...
15Oh my gosh. All you sticks in the mud(not a bad idea for candy, mud?) please get a grip. 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.
