America’s favorite appetizer on a toothpick is now a bubblegum! Or is it Austria’s favorite? I am not sure they have Vienna sausages in Vienna but I could be wrong on that score.
Archie McPhee has a lot of weird candy and gum. Since I am over ten years old, technically I shouldn’t like this stuff but it brings out the kid in me to see it. Gummy bacon, William Shakespeare head pops and wasabi gumballs are some of my favorites from their collection. Think about it – how often can you enjoy the sweet taste of Shakespeare and simultaneously be inspired to write a companion piece to one of his many beautiful sonnets? It is almost as if life itself is reflected in these candies.
What would you most like to try from their list? I just hope the gum sausages don’t come in that weird brine that the real sausages do. Yuck.

See, this is why I like working at NCA. Susan S once had me in stitches during an office discussion about whether or not a ceratain product was considered a snack food and she blurted out, “That’s not a snack food. It’s sold in the same aisle as the little weiners.” These little weiners, however, really ARE a snack food. Good find, Carl.

Those clearly are in the same category as Circus Peanuts. I’m glad you found them Carl, but I am also scared of them.
