There’s a lot of weird foods and candies out there… what’s your favorite food that really should gross you out, but it’s just soooo tasty?
I like black licorice … which usually disgusts most people I know. I always got those black jelly beans no one else wanted, and I never complained ;0)
Oh, how I love the gummi. I don’t care what it’s shaped as. You could give me gummi organs, gummi roadkill, I don’t care. I’ll eat anything if it’s made outta gummi.
gimmi roadkill may actually sell LOL. OOO! Gummi Garbage Pail Kids!
Oh, and having eaten a real worm once, I can save Fred the trouble…gummi ones are better.
ewwwwwww….. you did? wha.. is it…. WHY?
Like all great stories….I did it for a girl.
Speaking of weird food, whenever I’m in a restaurant and order iced tea with my meal, I squeeze the lemon wedge juice into my tea then I eat the lemon wedge, peel and all. Many people freak out when they see me do this.
For your information, my favorite candy happens to be black licorice as well ( Especially Australian kookaburra licorice ).
Now onto the subject matter of the strip. I think gummy worms were originally meant to mimic worm-like fishing lures rather than worms themselves ( real worms don’t come in bright colors ). This makes me wonder if anybody tried to include the hook inside such gummy worms.
my (soon to be) brother in law eats shrimp, tails and all! Makes your taste for lemon peels seem tame. ;0)
and regarding the hook, I’m happy there’s SOMEONE smart enough in the candy industry to NOT include that in a package of gummi worms! One never knows with these sugar-addled freaks :0P
My Dad was the black jellybean eater when I was growing up – I think it’s because he had 8 siblings and they didn’t like them, and as one of the younger ones, he tried to eat them to have something of his own. I have also (as an adult) taken to black jellybeans for a similar reason – I hate to see them go to waste (okay, also I don’t generally like the taste of the pink ones…). I eat a lot of nasty non-candy foods, so when it comes to candy, I can’t cite a bigger “guilty pleasure.”
@Chris Otto – hilarious! Someone get this guy some gummi Human Centipedes!
another jelly bean flavor with a similar fate: the famous “buttered popcorn”. UGHH. I can’t get past that flavor, it’s NOT MEANT to be in jelly bean form. I’ll stick with black licorice.
and you HAD to go with a human centipede gummi joke? eesh… *shudder*
If it’s gummi, I’d eat em. Seriously. I have to avoid going to Sam’s Club because they sell 6 pound bags of Gummi Bears, and they don’t last long.
I thought Fred wasn’t allowed sugar anymore.
well now what FUN would that be? ;0)
