When Candy Design Goes Horribly Wrong

[unixronin]

Why the world needed gummi lighthouses is unclear.  But I'm sure it seemed like a good idea at the time, to someone.

Unfortunate.

That's just plain wrong. :-)

I could swear I've seen gummi penises for sale. It looks like they maybe had a surplus and they got repackaged.

Also, this brings new meaning to the insult, "Eat a bag of dicks."

Personally, I still think the old-fashioned gummi-worm is the best gummi candy. Though I was amused by the almost-lifesize gummi rats.

Gummi rats give me the willies.

I *have* both gummi penises and gummy boobs. A local woman oriented adult bookstore sells them along with other silly novelties.

Just checked. The gummi penises do *not* resemble those lighthouses.

Maybe the ones YOU got don't. But the pic shows dead ringers for gummi penii that I saw on sale in a shop in Greenwich Village a couple of years ago.

Personally, I think this is just as bad. (http://www.cojito.de/produkt_75-stueck-haribo-arsch-mit-ohren_5968823.htm?PHPSESSID=5422b28b11cc46e7158c435a9f2c36bd)

("Arsch mit Ohren" = "Arse with ears". Often used to describe politicians and other persons in authority.)

The funny part about the lighthouses is that it's unintentional. :)

Oh, I know! (I laughed and laughed. Agent Weasel didn't get it.)

And the funny part about the Arschen mit Ohren is that it's intentional. It's like having little jelly babies in suits with bowler hats and briefcases, and called Politicians. :)
