Most candy stores - particularly those that display their wares in plastic bins with small scoops to dish the candies into individual bags - stock a wide variety of gummy candies: gummy worms, orange slices, sour cola bottles, etc. Some candy stores in the UK are stocking a more unusual gummy, a beer-flavored one. Dubbed pint pots, after the old-fashioned handled beer glasses, the candies taste just like beer. They are nonalcoholic, but it makes you wonder who exactly these candies are marketed to. I know that I don't see a whole lot of adults perusing the selection at candy stores.
Frankly, these actually seem a bit worse than candy cigarettes, which at least don't taste like the real thing, potentially developing a taste for the product they're based on in young candy-lovers.
