Tasty Little Treats

I just got back from the World Confectionary Convention (W-CONCON) which was held at the Douglas Lido Rooms on the Isle of Man. What a fuckin' awesome event that is. It gets better and better every year. It's been growing pretty rapidly for the last few years and if it keeps going at this rate we may have to get an extra table.

Anyway, lot's of exciting new developments in the confectionary world to tell you all about but instead I want to give you a sneak peek at the latest in Gummi candies. Gummi Baby Feet. These cola flavoured treats are all the rage in Germany, home of Gummi technology and the makers, Haribo, despite completely unproven allegations that they used forced labour during World War II to make Gummi Sausages, have managed to become the pre-eminent makers of Gummi candy in the World.

Mum...Can I have some Baby Feet?

Aren’t they just adorable? They look just like real baby feet! These are the first in a new line of Gummi candy being manufactured by Haribo this year. Other varieties include Gummi Ring Worms, Gummi Hemorrhoids, Gummi Puppy Noses and Gummi Cat Nipples.

If like me, you are desperate for avoid talking to your family for an hour or two visit the Haribo website. I recommend Fruit Salad Island and the Haribo Museum. Delight at the annoying "Mmmmm" sound every 10 fuckin seconds.

Where is the Haribo link? I am too lazy to Google it.

Eddie, are you a confectioner? Do you have sweets in your pockets?

I'm all excited now. I love those cat nipples and can't wait to taste some feet. Yea Eddie, do you have sweets in your pockets?

I was going to write that you are a cunny funt, but then I puked all over my keyboard when I read your Granny/11-year-old dialogue.

Blogger ate my reply.
MJ & Babs - Yeah, I've got sweets in my pocket but the warm and clammy conditions in my trousers have made them congeal into one big lump. I can break you off a piece if you want.
Kav - I seem to have appalled several people with that little nugget. Mrs. Waring is considering a restraining order.

Those baby feet would be useful in distracting the evil monkeys who are following me about at the moment, as would the cat nipple treats. How about ones shaped like syringes?

Sounds, er, disgusting. Do they taste of cheese?

Fat Sparrow said...

Being German, do they not also have lampshades and drumheads made from Gummi baby skins?

The Mistress said...

Update, fer fuck's sake.

Mutley - I believe you are onto something with this syringe idea. I will put it to the board at the next W-CONCON meeting in Rotherham, next year.
EmmaK - No cola, like cola bottles, 'cause they kinda look like 'em. At least I though so.
FS - They would fetch a few quid on ebay wouldn't they?
MJ - Needed a day off to spend some time fussing over the family.
