Person A: "What is this?" She was holding up a shiny purple rectangular package.
Person B: "Some sort of candy. It's weird."
A: "How weird?"
B: "Scott brought it in."
A: "Ohhh."
Me: "Yeah it has to be really weird if Scott brought it in."
At this point Scott popped his head over the cubicle wall a few rows down, then sent me an "instant message" to inform me that he brought in some weird candy that I should review for the blog.
He sent me a link to the manufacturer's (Choward's) web site and when I clicked on it, I got a warning saying "Visiting this site may harm your computer." I closed the window.
This would definitely be weird candy. I had to eat it.
Office reactions upon first smell:
"It smells like a bathroom." - Katie
"A freshly cleaned bathroom." -Scott
"It smells like a bathroom and Play Doh." - Me
It definitely tasted like something I wasn't supposed to be eating ... like I was sucking on mom's potpourri, or possibly a scented candle.
Also, it looks like clay.
It tasted exactly like artificial flower smell in a way so intense that I couldn't even keep it on my tongue. I had to spit it out.
Why would anyone buy this?
I asked Scott.
There you have it: Good typography can be in "bad taste." *Ba-dum ch!*

That's some of my favorite candy! I can't believe you didn't like it!
i really like violet-flavored chicles, not sure if these are like that or not. maybe it's the 85 year old lady in me, who knows. it's definitely weird, though.
p.s. love "Choward's" what kind of name is that??
You must not live in New York. Violet Chowards are the quintessential New York candy! Love them, and the other flavors as well.
