Obscene Candy

Watching over my shoulder as my daughter watches a You Tube tutorial featuring a Australian girl trying “American candy” for the first time, I’m amazed at how much it has never occurred to me how suggestive some American candy names are. Some sound like passed over porn titles. You be the judge: Butterfinger, Sugar Daddy, Sweet Tarts, Mr. Goodbar…Blow pops, Nips, Baby Ruth, Hubba Bubba, Fast Break (okay, maybe this one is a stretch), Three Musketeers, Mounds, Hershey Kisses, and O’Henry!

Just sayin.
