"lick" news and stories

Even though I have a lovely set of china mugs, I also have a wide selection of non-matching mugs, some that I picked up while traveling and others that simply caught my eye because of an unusual or novel design.

I justify my rather large collection by drinking a lot of coffee and tea to keep them all in use, but I try not to buy too many to keep the numbers down. This mug hasn't joined the rest of the collection just yet, although it is definitely a little more unusual than some of the others and so it seemed to warrant a mention here.

The mug features a character called Mr. P, who is positioned perfectly to "catch" drips of coffee on his tongue. You don't need to worry about getting a drip in just the right spot yourself because the fake drip is a permanent part of the cup. The tea mug is a little darker, but if your sense of humor tends to veer past the gray part of the spectrum, you might get a kick out of it, too.

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.
