I'm so hungry, I could eat a pillow

Actually, just one specific pillow: this chocolate one from Bonjour Mon Coussin. It'll run you 34 Euros, which is great for the Europeans, but not so great for us Yanks, as long as the exchange rate is all out of whack.

Alas, the pillow is not actually made of chocolate - in fact, it's 100% polyester - but I suggest nibbling on a corner seam just to make absolutely sure.

What's that? You say you're not a chocolate fan? BMC has you covered - they also carry a pillow covered in a pastel macaroon print, and one for the gummy candy lovers.

Gives new meaning to "sweet dreams," eh?

Yummy gummy rat dip

Are you a sucker for novelty candy? Do you salivate for an edible gross out?
You're in luck. The folks over at Sandy Candy have come up with a new one just in time for the Year of the Rat.

The new product is called Liquid Rat Dip, and it's actually a gooey liquid that you can dip Sandy Candy's gummy rats into. It comes in a container that resembles a specimen collection container, which is a neat packaging idea even though I'm not sure about the reasoning behind it. The company makes the "super sour candy" in four flavors: cherry, green apple, lemonade and fruit punch. You can also get Rat Dip Powder. The powder candy is sold in big tubs with the gummy rats. From what I can determine from the website, the Liquid Rat Dip is sold separately of the gummy rats. The rats come in three flavors, and there are a whopping 25 flavors of the powder, which the website does not specify.

All in all, if you're looking for a fun, weird, totally American treat, you might want to check out Liquid Rat Dip. I know I've never run into a gummy candy I didn't like. Would gummy rats dipped in the goo be disrespectful at a Chinese New Year Celebration?

Spooky sweets from Moonstruck

Moonstruck Chocolate Co. usually focuses on making some of the most beautiful confections that you're likely to see, with creation designs and precision artistry, but for Halloween, they do something a little different. In the spirit of the season, some of their seasonal offerings look more scary than sophisticated, which we love because it seems a little more appropriate for the holiday. The Halloween Horror Pizza is milk chocolate topped with a chocolate truffle eyeball and some gummy goodies that you wouldn't expect to find on any pizza. The Ivory Skull and Wormy Jack are both filled with gummy candies to give anyone who bites into the chocolate a Halloween trick, as well as a treat.

If you can't make up your mind as to which one you want, you can order a combo pack that contains one of each.

Beer flavored gummies?

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.

The Seven Gummie Sins

While I still believe that the 13-pound gummy bear is the true definition of gluttony, Flickr user Wiedmaier has depicted all seven deadly sins in that most noble medium of gummy. Titled "The Seven Gummie Sins," the series features seven photos of bears acting out, well, you get the idea. As you might have guessed, the one pictured here is envy. Who knew those little bears could be so emotive? If you get a chance, check out the rest of Wiedmaier's library, as there's some great food photography as well.

More gummy meat

If the gummy bacon that Candy Addict and Slashfood have posted about in the past just isn't enough for you, now there's also a gummy t-bone steak. According to a post on Candy Addict, the steak is strawberry-flavored, like it's gummy pork cousin. I think what impresses me is that this thing weighs in at almost a quarter of a pound. Obviously it's no 13-pound gummy bear, but still, it's about the same size (not weight) as a small filet. If only someone would have the guts to make gummy that actually tasted like meat. The shrink-wrapped styrofoam tray is a nice touch too.
