Upon entering a mom-and-pop store this past week, I took notice of a new product set upon the counter. While Gummi-bears and Gummi-worms are nothing new, this variant of the popular candy was most unusual.
"NEW Gummi lightning bugs!" The cloudy little treat came with a pair of plastic tweezers. Apparently, a child pinches the bugs between the tweezer tongs, and a little light bulb in the tong causes the gum to glow with luminescent light. The problem with this amazing new concept was the disclaimer printed on the packaging.
"WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD."
OK, who conceived this purple haze of intellectualism? Offer candy to children that supplies a choking hazard? (Not) Brilliant!!! Yeah, I'm sure this idea will sell like gang-busters!
Gee. What shouldn't they think up next?
