Edible AirPods-looking earbuds are (expensive) fanciful candy

Posted on by

We see a lot of Airpod dupes out there in the market that are not as expensive and therefore may also not last as long as the originals. I’ve heard of some people who keep getting these non-authentic earbuds that look the same as Apple’s original because either they stop working properly or they keep losing them. And with the way that a lot of these earbuds are made, it’s not surprising that people keep losing them. What if there are AirPods though that are meant to be lost….into your mouth?

Designer: MSCHF

The Brooklyn-based art collective called MSCHF, known for their unserious and sometimes prank-ish products, have come up with their own take on the AirPods. But instead of giving you music, this may very well give you a toothache. That’s because their Candy AirPods are just exactly what the name says. They are edible earbuds that don’t have any other function except to be consumed. Well, unless, you want to keep them around for a long time even though they can’t let you listen to your favorite songs or podcasts.

The AirPods-looking candy come in a box just like the actual AirPods. They really do look like the earbuds as they are “ergonomically fitted to your ears” even though they’re not meant to be actually be put into your ears. The edible earbuds are made from isomalt, water, food coloring, and natural and artificial flavors and only contain 10 calories per container. If you have any allergies, you shouldn’t worry as they are GMO-free, fat-free, and allergen-free. They’re even manufactured in a nut-free facility so you can be sure you won’t get an allergy attack if you eat them.

Right now, it looks like they’re already sold out on the MSCHF website and we don’t know if they will still be restocking. But in case they will, it will cost you $50 which is a pretty steep price for two pieces of candy. They also can’t ship outside of Continental America since it’s not meant to travel far.

Brisket Flavored Candy Canes: Meaty Goodness

Posted on by

Because nothing quite says Merry Christmas like meat-flavored candy canes (wait, that can’t be right), Archie McPhee has added yet another unusual flavor to its line of unusual candy canes, this time with brisket-flavored sugar sticks. Yum! And by ‘Yum!’ I mean ‘Yum?’

A box of six canes will set you back $6.95. Not into brisket? No worries, Archie McPhee also sells hot dog and pizza-flavored candy canes for those looking for a less traditional holiday meal this year. My typical Christmas Eve meal? The cookies we were supposed to be leaving out for Santa. To my credit, though, I do leave the carrots for his reindeer untouched.

Whatever the flavor, I’m just going to sharpen the end into a point to poke my brother in the leg under the dinner table. It’s a Christmas Eve tradition. Then we get in a huge fight, and there aren’t any presents underneath the tree from Santa the next morning, the end.

Make Your Own CBD Gummy Candies

Posted on by

CBD: it’s all the rage. With numerous health benefits like pain relief and helping to reduce anxiety, it’s the latest miracle cure. And now you can make your own CBD gummy candies at home using the Nostalgia Electric Giant Gummy Bear, Fish, and Worm Maker (affiliate link). The unit features a gelatin melting pot in the middle, surrounded by candy molds on ice for forming your candies. Plus, it comes with a giant gummy bear mold if you REALLY need a strong dose.

Add the CBD oil of your choice to the candy mix before cooling, and you’ll be pain-free and as cool as a cucumber before you know it. Just make sure to follow the dosage suggestions with the oil you’re using when making them because one time, I ate these brownies before a concert and never made it to the concert. Granted, they weren’t CBD, but the lesson is the same: proper dosage is important.

Of course, you don’t have to make CBD gummies; you can use it to make regular gummy candies. Or you could make gummies with other medicinal oils. Hey, I’m not here to tell you what to do; I’m just here to demand a handful of whatever you do make.

Countertop Saltwater Taffy Puller: Candy for Days

Posted on by

Saltwater taffy: it’s the sort of candy most people can have a few pieces of at the beach, then be perfectly content until their next beach trip. But maybe you’re one of the few who can’t get enough of it. Maybe you love it so much you need to make it at home. Well, for you, there’s the countertop Chef’n Sweet Spot Saltwater Taffy Maker (affiliate link). Just please, if you are going to buy one, make sure your health insurance includes comprehensive dental coverage.

The tabletop taffy maker features two rotating hooks for pulling the taffy after you’ve made the soft candy. Of course, you don’t need a taffy puller to pull taffy, you can do it by hand like I did when I was a kid, but you do risk dropping it on the floor and making a whole batch of dog hair candy like I did.

The hooks are removable for cleaning and storage, and the whole thing folds down to just the width of the gearbox, so it takes up very little space when not in use. Certainly a handy feature for storing the unit after the one time most people will ever use it.

This Tic-Tac Gun Is a Minty-Fresh Blaster

Posted on by

Designed, 3D printed, and sold by Etsy shop 3DCubedPrinting; the TTG2.5 is a  handgun that uses mints as bullets. That way, you don’t even have to clean up after shooting cans for target practice in your living room; just let your dogs enjoy minty-fresh breath.

The spring-action Tic-Tac Gun is made to order and available in over 1,000 color combinations, including a bunch of different camo and glow-in-the-dark options. A whole regular-size box of Tic-Tacs acts as the gun’s magazine, allowing around 38 shots before running out and needing to run to 7-Eleven for more am-mint-unition.

So, should you try shooting Tic-Tacs directly into a friend’s mouth? I suppose that depends on how you feel about them choking and/or chipping a tooth. Honestly, I say go for it. Just make sure to mention this website at the dentist’s office, so they know where to send the referral check.

Candy-designed coffee table is perfect for your sweet tooth

Posted on by

Whoever invented candy (apparently the Egyptians according to Google) has the gratitude of sweet-tooths forever. There are tons of options, brands, and flavors out there and as long as you eat them in moderation, you should be good. I still have a fondness (sometimes too much) for these sweets but since medically I have to regulate eating them, I can only stare at them from a distance most of the time now. A table with candy wrappers is a sight for sore eyes but may also be too much of a temptation for me.

Designer: ServedSweett

The Original Candy Coffee Table is exactly as it sounds, a table that is designed with actual candy. I thought it was just candy wrappers at first but it looks like the design includes “actual” candy. Of course they’re not real, real, more like decorations but based on actual candy. The table is made from resin with a the top smooth as glass. The edges are not perfectly smooth and there may also be some bubbles inside the resin but it does look like a sweet wonderland when you see it.

What also makes this unique is that each creation is handmade and unique as what candy is placed inside depends on the stock availability. Customers can also make requests as to the “theme” of the candies like if you prefer to just have pastel colors or if you want it to have lollipops predominantly. Since it is handmade, it takes around 3-4 weeks to make and delivery after that may be a couple of weeks later.

The table is pretty huge as well, 44 inches long, 22 inches wide, 19 inches tall, with the top about 1.5 inches thick. When delivered to the customer, the base will have to be assembled by drilling screws into it. It seems to be pretty heavy and sturdy but the designer doesn’t advise for you to sit on it. And I would prefer to look at the table anyway rather than to sit on it. When you move the table, the candy actually moves and you’ll hear it.

This is definitely something that looks like it would fit right into a playroom but if you’re a known candy lover, it will also fit in your living room. Of course, things like these, especially since it’s handmade, costs a lot but maybe if you have the budget for it, it would be worth it.

Candy Filled Resin Coffee Table Is One Sweet Piece of Furniture

Posted on by

Been looking all over for the perfect coffee table to compliment your candy-themed living room? Well, look no further, my eccentric friend, because Etsy seller ServedSweett has created the $1,697 Original Candy Coffee Table Ⓒ. I don’t know about you, but I feel like I need like ten cavities filled just looking at it. Although it probably would be handy to have around in the event of the apocalypse since you could always chisel some candy out for a snack.

Each 44″L x 22″W x 19″ H coffee table is made of candy-filled resin approximately 1.5″ thick, with whatever candy is available at the time of your order. Or you can even suggest specific candy or a particular color palette. But you can suggest the addition of beef jerky? I’m still awaiting the response to my email.

Willy Wonka would be proud. Or maybe disappointed there isn’t any Wonka brand candy in the table. And even if there was Wonka brand candy in the table, he would probably be proud you used his brand but disappointed you didn’t eat the candy and made a table out of it instead. He’s a complicated man. One who yelled at me for trying to take a bite out of his hand to see if he’s made of chocolate. He’s not, just to be clear.

Hot Dog Flavored Candy Canes: Pass the Mustard

Posted on by

Self-proclaimed (and accurate) ‘maker of weird’ Archie McPhee is introducing these Hot Dog Candy Canes just in time for the Christmas season. The red-and-white canes come in six-packs for $6.50 and “taste like sweet, meaty hot dogs.” Unfortunately, the flavor does not include condiments, so you’ll need to lick a ketchup-flavored candy cane immediately afterward for the full hot dog eating experience.

Personally, I feel like hot dogs are hands down the perfect food provided you don’t care about nutrition or your own personal health. Besides that though, absolutely delicious. I’ve even been known to eat cold wieners right out of the package first thing in the morning. My wife says it’s gross, but I say it’s all part of a perfectly-unbalanced breakfast.

Like the previously posted ketchup flavored candy canes, I like how these look just like traditional peppermint canes, so my nieces and nephews won’t know the difference until it’s too late and they’re retching and I’m laughing and my brother and sister are upset with me. Ah, the holidays, am I right?

Turkey Dinner Candy Corn Is Like Willy Wonka’s 3-Course Dinner Gum

Posted on by

Remember that scene in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory when Violet Beauregard chomps down on the 3-course dinner chewing gum? Well, this is kind of like that, though it’s not going to turn you blue when you get to dessert. Honestly, when I first saw that Brach’s had come out with Turkey Dinner, Apple Pie, and Coffee Candy Corn, I had to double-check that it wasn’t April 1st. But nope, It’s October 3rd, and this stuff is real.

Apparently, they also worked in the flavors of green beans, cranberry sauce, and stuffing. I’m assuming that each candy is a different flavor, and they didn’t manage to cram them all into a single piece of candy corn. I think that would result in the same sort of grey mush that you get when you mix all the paint colors together, only with flavors instead of colors.

I know lots of people hate candy corn, so I’m doubtful that changing them to taste like a complete Thanksgiving meal will change their minds. On the other hand, if candy corn is a guilty pleasure for you this time of year, then maybe you’ll want to try a bag of these. They’re available for $2.49 a bag from Walgreens. I wonder if these make you sleepy after you eat them too.

A Desktop Rocket Shaped Candy-Grabbing Claw Machine

Posted on by

Candy: it maintains my sugar high at a suitable level, so I don’t have to take a nap at my desk midday. And you know what’s better than regular candy? Candy, you’ve won. Enter the $44 Rocket Candy Grabber available from Firebox, a desktop claw machine you fill with candy, then empty with skill.

The Rocket Candy Grabber is powered by 3 AA batteries and has LEDs that light up, and it plays “intense” carnival music while you test your skill at grabbing candy. Frustrated you aren’t grabbing the candy fast enough? Just crack the thing open like Humpty Dumpty. Just don’t go asking all the king’s horses and all the king’s men for assistance putting it back together if you do.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to be big or strong enough to accommodate full-size candy bars, which is a shame because they’re all I eat. I don’t have time to unwrap all those teensy snack-size candies; I need the real deal. King size? Even better. You know, just the other day, I started a petition for candy companies to start manufacturing California king-sized candy bars.
