Internet, are you ready for a new anti-hero? Or just hero-hero? A 12-year-old girl in the southern French city of Bordeaux was caught by police after using stolen checks to buy 2,600 euros (that's $3,440!) worth of candies and pastries. Her autobiography title should be "Catch Me If You Candy!" — the NY Post can pay…
Just when you thought the FBI, NSA and Verizon-teamed privacy infringement was the most egregious overstepping of The Man on citizens' rights, Nestlé, Mars and Hershey manufacturers in Canada have apparently been conspiring to fix the price of their chocolate products.
Are you tired of the same old lollipops just sitting around in your mouth not tasting like a stranger's leaky breast? Well MERRY CHRISTMAS, SHERLOCK. After rigorous boob-milk taste-testing, the food scientists at one Austin-based candy company have managed to synthesize the flavor of human breast milk in the form of…
America's largest purveyors of fine Easter chocolates think you're dumb, so dumb, in fact, that they think a green label on a pack of M&Ms will trick you into thinking that those M&Ms are somehow good for you. Or at least better for you than other candy-coated chocolates.
Jesus died for our sins — so we better make 'em worth it. There's no better way to honor the heavenly bodies rising (from the heavens?) than by binging on bulk bins filled with wax-chocolate bunnies the size of toddlers. GOD BLESS.
The snake-swallowing slow death of print media isn't just affecting cute puppies (although that remains the single most important dilemma facing this generation) — it's also affecting impulse purchases in supermarket checkout lines.
Peeps, those chick and rabbit shaped blobs of sugar, corn syrup and gelatin that are stale from the moment you open the box, are having a hell of a year. Not only is the candy celebrating its 60th birthday, but 2012 happened to be the best financial year for Just Born, Inc, the company that creates Peeps — as well as…
I'm both laughing and cringing sympathetically as these poor, unsuspecting kids chomp down on their first Warheads. They think they're going to eat a delicious candy and then BAM! They're chipping their teeth on rock hard hella sour nasty-ass Satan chow.
Oh, sour candy, you are a cruel mistress. This three-year-old's distress as he freaks out about the sharp new taste is matched only by his big sister's glee. But don't worry, little one: where there are Warheads, there are also Airheads.
Good news for those of us who want to radiate perfume stink from the inside out: Beneo, a US health and nutrition company has teamed up with Bulgarian confectioner Alpi (whose website is very exciting) to develop Deo, a perfumed candy that's said to release a rose scent through a person's pores following consumption.…
What's up, my brothers and sisters in fat arms! Apparently Halloween candy is a super steal at Duane Reade so if you live near one, I really hope you didn't read past the headline. In fact, if you're still reading, I hate you, go away. Candy and bargain are honestly my two favorite words, and together? Excuse my…
It’s always been a little disturbing to me how a lot of conservatives seem to hate President Obama’s entire family sort of like a 5-year-old He-Man fan hates Skeletor. I don’t like him, therefore everything he does is bad and so I am OPPOSITE HIM because I AM GOOD. That sort of thing. And so while it’s a little…
We're all about the Chaperone Tax. If you accompany a minor while trick-or-treating, they're pretty much required to hand over some of the goods. You see, it's a reciprocal relationship, you're basically a bodyguard. A bodyguard who is paid in delicious Halloween candy.
Police in Los Angeles are concerned about the city's growing number of medical marijuana dispensaries - especially when it comes to them preying on our nation's precious youth. This Halloween season, the L.A.P.D. are of the belief that terrifying pot heads are going to accidentally (or not accidentally) give your…
Or, perhaps more appropriately, what are you binging on this year? It's the holidays, let's all cut loose! I ordered a bunch of organic, vegan, fair-trade candy online but because it's so freaking expensive, I could only get like five lollipops and a candy bar. Those are gone already, I think a ghost got them.…
Aw, sugar! Adorable human banjo string Joseph Gordon-Levitt just released this über twee animated short through his production company hitRECord, all about the love and pain that goes into eating a bag of strawberry bootlaces, the licorice candy popular across the UK. (For you American rubes, strawberry bootlaces…
Depending on your perspective, the most recent drought has wrought some pretty interesting stuff. For instance, did you know that now, because corn prices are so high, feed rations for beef and dairy cows have consequently become prohibitively expensive? And, as a result, a lot of U.S. cattlemen have been…
If you're like my 86-year-old grandmother, you probably love black licorice for whatever inexplicable reason exists for snacking on something that looks like braided horsehair lathered in pomade. Now, for your candy-chomping pleasure, you can enjoy black licorice with extra lead, which is especially helpful for all…
Uuuuuuugh, milkshake—you cruel vixen. Milkshakes are simultaneously the food I most desire and the food I can least justify eating. Essentially a method of injecting massive amounts of melted ice cream into one's bloodstream the shortest time possible (YESSS), milkshakes are obv terrible for your body. But it turns…
