Weird Candy Part 1

What up folks! This is the first part of what is going to be a long running series on all the weird things people put in their mouths. First up we have Gummi Pizza, from a company called efrutti. It looked pretty interesting, but to be honest didn't taste very good. The "dough" part is this weird, fluffy-gummy type thing that has this strange texture, and isn't very enjoyable. 



Gummy Pizza, served up by a strange, googley-eyed pizza chef.

The whole thing is about the size of a half dollar.

Not exactly sure what the big black thing is supposed to be. Olive? Anchovy?
Cat did not enjoy the gummy pizza.

The same company also makes Gummy hot dogs, which are essentially the same thing as the gummy pizzas. The bun is made from the same weird spongy stuff.

It looks okay, from the top side...

But I'm not exactly sure what this is supposed to be.

Yeah, I don't know about this one.

Halloween Oreoes

I've always loved Halloween, it's a holiday about dressing up like a monster, eating tons of sugar, getting blitzed and partying. As far as holidays go, it has zero redeeming social value.

One thing I've noticed recently is that all the yummy cookies and candy and crap that I had growing up is suddenly coming in all these weird flavors - coconut M&Ms, tropical Skittles, Starburst favored candy corn, etc. Plus we always get a nice profusion of things that are pumpkin flavored around this time - pumpkin pie, pumpkin coffee, pumpkin bagels, and so on.

Enter Halloween Oreos. 

Unfortunately, despite the attractive packaging and enticing orange color, these are simply ordinary doublestuffed Oreos, lacking in any pumpkin flavor.



But hey, Oreoes are Oreos, right?

Happy belated Halloween everybody.
