Holiday targeted company Christmas Kitsch has taken everybody’s favorite holiday candy and given it a misleading twist.
These nontraditional sweets may look like the lovable sweet candy on the outside, but after one lick, one may want to reconsider their trust in candy marketing. A Christmas Kitsh candy cane looks like the typical red and white peppermint stick, but has the misleading taste of bacon. Other mischievous flavors provided by this crafty company would be the green and white cane that come in either a wasabi flavoring or dill pickle. Yum.
Hang these interestingly flavored canes on your tree or give them as a prank reward for a curious child that got into their gifts too early.
