Boy Eating Halloween Flesh Fries. Yechh!

Between the school party and trick or treating, our kids got lots of loot on Halloween. And because we strictly ration their candy consumption, they still have lots of Halloween loot.


A couple days ago, Patrick dug through his bag (the one from the school party, not the trick or treat bag) and found a sealed black plastic bag from one of his classmates. Inside that bag was a wrapped french fries cup that held 5 candy severed human fingers.





Here they are out of the package.
















Yechh! Even though they're made of the same gummy stuff they make chewy fruit snacks out of, no one would actually raise one to their mouth and take a bite of it, would they?










No, wait. Oops!




Even kiddom has its limits. One bite is all he took, and so they remain back in the cabinet to this very day.
















Takers?

Added: Glenn Walker's French Fry Diary has more on these foul confections here.

  • So exactly what flavor were the fingers? Finger flavor? If they were fruit flavored, was the bloody bit at the root of the fingers cherry or raspberry? And what of the mangled flesh above it? Peach flavored? Eating those would cause me some kind of digestive discomfort, like runny bowels or something.

  • I don't know what they taste like, Alex, because, like sushi, they look too yechhy for me to give a try.

    All the label indicates is that they're "fruit flavored", and made in China. It could be that they save up the dismembered fingers they sweep off the factory floors and repackage them as this festive treat.
