    Ridiculous Candy #7 - Tape Worms

    Once again, I've been treated to another guest submission by Pamela. As you may recall, she submitted the photo for the ridiculous toilet candy, but I think we have reached the bottom of the ridiculous candy barrel with this treat.
    Candy tape-worms? I would rather snort pixie sticks up both nostrils then eat candy tape worms. I would love to have been in the room during product development when the genius suggested creating the tape worm candy. Seriously, has this company even taken the time to acknowledge that this candy is based on a gastrointestinal parasitic infection?
    Believe me...I'm not into boycotting, but I think we should let this candy company know how we feel before the research and development team begins full production of any more of their brilliant creations. If not, be prepared for yummy milk-chocolate "hemorrhoid candy" or the new fruity flavored "ulcer gum." Maybe it is just me (and I don't think it is...), but basing a candy product on any portion of the digestive tract just might be the most ridiculous candy I have ever seen.
    Thanks Pamela for scooping this one out and for being willing to go back to the store with your camera to get a picture of this yummy treat. Your commitment to insuring quality in theMangoTimes is unparalleled (and unchallenged) to this point!
    Quietly making noise,

    Oh, my word!! The really disgusting part is, if it's in the stores, SOMEONE is buying it. Yuckola!

    I will be keeping my eyes out. And that is gross.

    [...] have already posted about this ridiculous candy before. However, it is apparent that the last version of this intestinal snack was so wildly successful [...]

    I love what people say on theMangoTimes, but unfortunately spam has caused a few problems...and I don't want people to think I'm supporting mortgages, gold watches or pharmaceuticals. So, comment moderation has been turned on! Please comment on any topic and I'll approve it as soon as I can!
