Candygram for Dubya

Candy King is very popular here and is just like Pick-A-Mix candy back in the US where you can fill a bag with a variety of candy and pay by weight. While I was staring at the variety of Easter chocolates today I noticed a bin filled with what I thought at first glance were candy nipples. Considering that Finland has a soup commercial running in prime time on TV that features a couple who roll around in the snow with full frontal nudity that makes the American furor over Janet's little 'wardrobe malfunction' seem even more idiotic, I really thought they were supposed to be nipples.

I bought a few and they taste just like strawberry Tangy Taffy which used to be popular in the 70s. Sadly, Jarkko told me that they're really supposed to be mushrooms but...c'mon, I'll bet the kids don't call them mushrooms. :) I'd love to send a giant bag of them to the White House and to Ashcroft but I wouldn't get the joy of watching the secret service either freak out over the 'obscene' candy or the bioterrorism scare from a Finnish anthrax killer nipple attack. :)
