Put down that kittenwich and have a Swedish Fish

Swedish Fish Kitten advertisement
In an effort to stop the recent horrific incidents involving kitten sandwiches, confectioner Cadbury Adams has issued the following instructive poster encouraging those who enjoy eating kittenwiches to think twice and have a nice, chewy Swedish Fish instead. I've never been a real big fan of the gummy treats, and, no, I've never had a kitten sandwich.

Nor have I had any of the other bizarre meals that Cadbury created for its "A Friend You Can Eat," adverstising campaign. The others include a shot of a dude with hamburger dressings sitting on top of his head and a teddy bear panini. The web site also has a cool photo tool where you can upload a shot of yourself to be featured as one of the ingredients in the three bizarre meals.

Even though I'm no fan of Swedish Fish, I'll take one over a kitten sandwich any day. Hopefully this campaign will help keep kitten sandwiches out of Halloween goodie bags on Friday. On a side note, blogger The DoughyGuy says his cat does not like Swedish Fish.

Kittens, on the other hand, haven't been around long enough to bioaccumulate many toxins and haven't eaten much meat so they don't have that nasty 'carnivore' taste. I think a kitten sandwich would be delicious and nutritious. Plus you eat with your eyes first and what's cuter than a kitten? Swedish fish on the other hand...gross, just gross.

When we need gummy candies, we go for the Fish.

Granted, they're WAY better if they're fresh. If you buy a bag that's been on the peg for too long, ick.
