As a fan of gummy candies — Sour Patch Kids forever! — I’m distressed by the existence of Spermies. The claim that there’s been “no salt added” doesn’t do much to reassure me that these fast-swimmers go down easy. No thanks!

Some things really get my goat when it comes to kids, like little girls wearing heavy makeup. (Cough, cough.) But pot leaf-shaped candy? Meh.

Parents around the country are reportedly upset with “pothead” lollipops and ring-pops, which are sour apple-flavored suckers in the shape of marijuana leaves. According to the Washington Post, the lollipops sell for about a dollar and the ringpops sell for about three for $1.50. But, in an egregious example of false advertising, “pothead” candy doesn’t contain any THC. Instead, the packaging just shows a stoner-looking dude flashing a peace sign and the word “Legalize.” So, you know, the kids think it’s the cat’s pajamas.

Stir Things Up With These Peppermint Cocktail Stirrers

Wendy AtterberryDecember 9, 2010 //

One of our favorite things to do during the holidays is to take things that are already awesome — like chocolate brownies, kitty cats, and cocktails, for example — and make them even more awesome, usually by adding some marshmallows or mint chips and maybe a cute Christmas sweater to the former two. For the latter, Baileys usually does the trick, but then we found these peppermint cocktail stirrers and, oh my God, suddenly our lives — and our drinks — just got a bit more festive. Cheers, and happy holidays, everyone!

The Candy Hierarchy

Amelia McDonell-ParryOctober 29, 2010 //

For the most part I agree with this fairly detailed ranking of the various candies given out on Halloween. However, I am distressed by the absence of Sour Patch Kids. Where are they? And for the love of Willy Wonka, Butterfinger needs to be MUCH higher up. It’s delicious! Also, trail mix doesn’t deserve to be on the bottom tier. That crap will get your house teepee-ed.

Mariah Carey Wants You To Smell Like Candy

Bianca PosterliJune 23, 2010 //

When Nick Cannon proposed to his lady, Mariah Carey, he hid her engagement rock inside a Ring Pop lollipop, as a nod to her love for the candy, then replicated his originality in an encrusted lollipop for their anniversary. Now, Mariah’s planning to capitalize off her sweet tooth by launching a line of fragrances with Bazooka Candy Brands. Yes, you read that right. Mariah plans to introduce the world to her candy scents this July, available in three fragrances: Honey, Mine Again, and Ribbon, so everyone can smell just as sweet as her. “I think this line really comes with a fresh approach that is both innovative and accessible to my loyal fan base and beyond, but will bring something new to the market,” she explained, totally justifying her decision to combine the world of beauty and candy. While Mariah’s most likely aiming to sell to a more sophisticated market, this sounds like the perfect present for your 8-year-old daughter, niece, or cousin. [WWD] Keep reading »

Holly Madison Debuts A Jewelry Line … Candy Jewelry, That Is

Jessica WakemanMay 21, 2010 //

Aww, that’s sweet: Playboy babe Holly Madison is debuting a line of edible candy necklaces for the Las Vegas candy store, The Sugar Factory. Random, no? It only kinda-sorta makes sense when you consider she lives out in Vegas, performing in the striptease “Peepshow” and filming her soon-to-be-aired reality show, “Holly’s World.” An edible candy necklace is just about the last product we’d expect one of Hugh Hefner‘s ex-girlfriends to endorse. And yet it just may be the only product we’d be willing to put in our mouth. [SugarFactory.com] Keep reading »

These Peeps Are Turning Japanese

Kelli BenderApril 4, 2010 //

Remember playing house with your kindergarten boyfriend and Play-Doh food? Well, Peepshi is the sushi equivalent of taking something wholly adult and giving it a juvenile rebirth. All you need are three childhood dietary staples: Fruit by the Foot, Rice Krispies, and, of course, Peeps. But be warned! This recipe is not for the faint of heart, or people who don’t like to get their hands sticky. You will need to have the nerve to cut off quite a few candy chicken heads.

Suck On This: Massimo Gammacurta Logo Lollipops

Leonora EpsteinMay 7, 2009 //

If you’re the type who drools over a pair of pumps, Massimo Gammacurta’s work should appeal to you. The New York-based fashion photographer is famous for concocting stylish still life pictures, and his latest series depicts lollipops in the shape of luxury brand logos. Is the subtext that the fashion world is sugar-coated? Or that a passion for style can’t be satiated by clothes alone? Either way, it would be pretty cool to go around sucking a purple Chanel logo (what does Chanel taste like anyhow — plum?) or a cherry YSL. [Gammacurta.com] Keep reading »

Crave: Sunny Seed Drops

Catherine StrawnJanuary 23, 2009 //

We’ve had a hankering for all things sweet since we were in single digits, and candy was one of the first words we knew how to spell. Since we weren’t born yesterday, it’s hard to surprise or impress us when it comes to the sugary stuff. When a friend told us to try these chocolate-covered sunflower seeds, we said, Huh? Chocolate-covered what? But now that we’ve tasted Sunny Seed Drops, our lives will never be the same. [$2.90, SunflowerFoodCompany.com]

We’re giving away five tubes of Sunny Seed Drops, but you have to work if you want to taste this delicacy. The five best commenters for this coming week — from today, Friday, Jan. 23 through Thursday, Jan. 29 — will be awarded with one. So, be as clever, smart, and original as you can!
