I came across a website that sells Jujubes, the popular candy of my youth. Either some prankster messed with the description, or Jujubes have gone all hipster on us. Thesite lists the flavors and colors in each box thusly:
Lilac??? Violet??? What kind of heresy is this? Were Jujubes always those flavors, and I just didn’t notice? Otherwise, what’s next, lavender-flavored Bazooka bubble gum? Cilantro Popsicles?
Hmph.
And Swedish fish are not fishy at all. Go figure.
Yep. It’s not hipsterdom, rather it’s grandma’s candy, reaching back to 1920 and as a class of candies to the 18th century.
A great gag would be Swedish fish that are tuna/sardine flavored. Heh.
Pickled herring.
Jujubes have distinct flavors and not just sugar and glycerine laxative?
Explosive diarrhea? :eek:
Oh wait, that’s nitroglycerine laxative.
Or, for a real gag, surströmming.
