What's In A Name

I've never really given a great deal of thought about the names of treats until I got this bag of gummy candies. For some reason "Frogs Alive" sounded really dark. I think if you put it in the context of "I'm eating Frogs Alive", you might see where I'm coming from. This has made me think about other treat names, and how dark, weird or just wrong they might be. Nerds is a great example of just that, but I'm sure there are more. The problem is that many treat names become common place no matter how weird they actually are. Can you think of any treat or candy names that are just weird?

It's Time For A New Candy Review - Collon "Cream Flavour"

My spell check keeps wanting me to change the spelling of today's new review. For some reason it doesn't like the word Collon. Fortunately for me, my spell check is feeling charitable and the first option it's giving me is the name "Collin". This makes the chances of me writing something a little obscene far less possible.

It is however a little odd that Glico would produce a candy that's tube shaped and filled with cream, and give it the name so close to a part of the digestive system. Maybe one of you out there might be able to help with the context from a language point of view.

This Review Is Worth It For The Name Alone - Bon Bon Bum "JoJoJo"

I don't like to make a habit of picking out a candy for review on the name alone, but sometimes you just can't resist. I'm sure the name of this candy has some kind of meaning, but I certainly couldn't figure it out. I just remember walking into a grocery store, seeing a display with the word "bum" on it, and heading straight for it. I didn't really care what was being sold after that, I knew I had to try it.
