Possum-Flavored Hard Candy
Possums or opossums may be goofy-looking, garbage-loving marsupials, the only ones in North America, but they're actually kind of interesting. While they don't hang upside down to sleep from tree branches by their tails like they're commonly seen in cartoons, their tails are prehensile and able to be used like an extra arm to help them climb or carry things. They also involuntarily flop over and play dead when confronted by danger as a defense mechanism, hardly ever get rabies, are immune to most snake venom, and are generally odorless since they self-groom like cats. Hmm, but you're probably more interested in... are they good eatin'?
If you always wanted to taste possum without cooking up some roadkill, now you can anytime you wish with this cool new Possum-Flavored Candy from Archie McPhee. These fun individually wrapped pink and gray hard candies have an artificial possum/opossum flavor that sort of resembles pork with a hint of piquant swill and come in an attractive serving tin instead of being found on the side of the road. They make a perfect gift for candy-loving rednecks, hillbillies, rubes, hayseeds, bumpkins, hicks, yokels, dumpster divers, and more, can be mixed in with regular candies in the candy dish for a mischievous prank, or you can just buy them for yourself to cross "tasting possum out of curiosity" off your bucket list.
