Offensive Packages

Every once in a while I come across a candy package that's kind of offensive by today's standards. The two main causes for such packages are history or cultural difference. This package for example depicts the old fashioned cinema trope of cowboys vs Indians. This is a problematic concept because we now know that these early depictions were false, and created a very negative stereo type of what North and South American aboriginal people's were like. So how can a package like this still exist, it comes from a culture that doesn't have that history. It's from Asia, a place where indigenous cultural history is very different than what we know in North and South America. This package is likely looked at as a vintage look at North American culture, and that's all. Is it right, that's not really for me to decide.

Check out this latest treat in a possibly troublesome package.

A Salty Junk Fud and You Taste Test

Cookies and Pretzels

Sometimes I think pretzels could qualify as the perfect cookies. I feel like you can do just about anything to a pretzel that you can do to a cookie, in some cases even more. Dip a pretzel in icing, no problem. Cover a pretzel in peanut butter, yup. Cover a pretzel in chocolate, an excellent idea. The thing that makes pretzels unique is that you can also dip them in mustard and it works great too. Pretzels really are the ultimate cookie, and they're not even really cookies. This week's new candy review is proof that the pretzel needs to be reclassified.

Find out why the pretzel needs to a fresh designation.
