Consider yourselves fortunate, Dear Readers, that I have neither a digital camera more sophisticated than a cheesy webcam nor space to host pictures, or I'd surely be sharing with you treasures like my 'Hello Kitty' bank. It ambushed me about a month ago, and has been lurking eighteen inches behind my head ever since, watching over my shoulder as I try manfully to resist mentioning it.
For guts it was supplied with gooey tubes of Alleged Candy, certified "contains no konjac" according to the label. The flavors are purported to be grape, orange, mango, and lychee. They are about the consistency of stale jello and the lychee in particular, being clear, reminds one irresistably of a kitty-sized water-filled condom. And check out that packet of dessicant! Mm, purple dessicant packet... It probably tastes better than the candy, but
it at least has a warning not to eat it. I tried one each; while they're not irretrievably nasty, as bad candy goes, I think I shall probably be bringing them along to the next LJ MeetUp for ridiculing and general flinging-around purposes.
The candies got stuck in the kitty's neck when I tried to shake them out into a baggie, necessitating a manual Hello Colostomy operation. The empty kitty has a slot in the hat; it will make my meager savings smell grape-y and festive out of all proportion to their size.
Warning:
This product does not melt - Do not swallow whole!
Product is dangerous if caught in throat. Be careful
when removing from packaging. Cut into smaller
pieces before serving to children.
And it's got "Chondrus Extract" in it, which disappointingly turns out to be carrageenan, or "Carragreenan" as the label would have it.
Has Hello Kitty always had a rabbity cottontail...?
