The World Is Safe...

Hazel Prepares for Halloween

After Halloween comes her favourite holiday - Thanksgiving... She gets her own dinner plate (with all the fixins) and there's always leftover meat for about a week to take her pills with instead of the usual cheese slice.

Peculiar Product - Toxic Waste [candy]

"CAUTION: Consuming more than one within a brief time may cause irritation to mouth. Sensitive individuals should not consume this product."

If I were a kid, this warning would sound more like a dare to me.

Perusing the package I spotted a URL for the Toxic Waste Hazardously Sour Candy website - it's actually pretty masterful in it's kitschy design with colour and little noises on the buttons. Check out the "On the Tube" section where you'll find links to "eater submitted" videos where kids make faces, squirm and gag as they put the Toxic Waste into their mouths. The packaging also says "Manufactured for Candy Dynamics" which made me wonder where the hell this is actually made - my first thought was China - but further reading of fine print said "Made in Pakistan"... This truly is a masterfully conceived peculiar product.
