Ridiculous Candy #14 - Toilet Candy, #2
Monday, August 10, 2009 at 9:00AM 
You may remember this candy from an earlier post. However, I have included this posting for three reasons:
First, note they have modified the candy, now it is called "Sour Flush." Apparently, the candy makers were missing an entire population of toilet candy patrons. After thorough research (I'm certain!), it was discovered that the success of the plunger pop - candy toilet crystal phenomenon could reach even new heights if they made the candy sour! So, like many companies, they have merely taken the first candy and added a sour component (i.e. Skittles becomes Sour Skittles). I still think they need to come up with a chocolate component to be housed inside the plastic bowl! (Mmmm yumm! Would you mind if I barf just a little bit right now?).
Second, I included this candy because it was delivered to me after 12,000 miles of travel. A faithful reader named Rebecca found this tasty toilet treat in Singapore and carried it with her to a wedding in Holland, where she met up with Yvette who then delivered it the rest of the way to my dental office in California. How is that for international coverage?
Third, at the same time I received the international toilet pop, I was given the same candy to review by Mangoboy #3, who found it in our favorite seaside candy store. It was like a sign! I knew this one needed to receive a 2nd mention in theMT.

So, thank you to Rebecca for your submission (and Yvette for the delivery!) and Jack for finding it!
Quietly making noise,

Always a smile to be had when reading your updates : )
Yay! Great candy post!
Absolutely hilarious. Are the side pieces that look like lollipops supposed to be plungers?
Peter..yeah...plunger pops!
Hey, I was going to send you one of these MONTHS ago! Now I guess I'll just have to eat it myself. Hah.
Oh, yeah. I sent you a picture. I'd forgotten. It was, after all, months ago.
Pamela...
So glad to have you back around for comments and a visit...theMT has not been the same without my favorite commentators from the Windy City!

Oh, yeah. . . if I had any appetite left, that would have done it for me. YUCK!!!
I love how some of your most thought provoking posts don’t garner a single comment, but talk about ridiculous candy and the flood gates open! Yea for toilet candy : )
I don’t know where my last comment went. It just suddenly disappeared. In case it never arrived, I was saying:
I for one think sour is a vast improvement. Sweet toilet candy just doesn’t work in my mind. Pretty funny that Mangoboy #3 found the same candy. Great minds think alike. =)
