Using Rice Krispies Treats as the rice and candy and Peeps as the fish, the familiar shapes of sushi can be represented as sweet-to-eat treats. You’ll never look at Mike and Ikes or Hot Tamales the same way again. Peeps however, always did seem to have a fishy existence, so using them as sushi somehow seems appropriate.

In one of the most unexpected launches at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the Reese’s® brand, makers of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, today, unveiled the latest mini-innovation in candy snacks – Reese’s Minis. Billed as the “Next Big, Little Thing™,” Reese’s Minis are making history as the smallest Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups ever, and the first snacking candy to be introduced at CES. In fact, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups is The Official Candy of the Consumer Electronics Show.

Never Run Out Of Gummy Worms Again

The World's Largest Gummy Worm

Every kitchen has items that need to constantly be in stock: milk, eggs, flour, gummy. Without these essentials no kitchen is complete. It’s always best to stock up on these must-haves, but when it comes to gummy creatures, they come in packages that are woefully small. Thankfully, The World’s Largest Gummy Worm is here to rescue culinarians everywhere.

The stats:
* 128x as massive as a boring, ordinary gummy worm
* 26 inches long, or roughly one-tenth the size of the small intestine. (hint: buy more!)
* 3 pounds of gummy worm goodness
* 4,000 calories (compare, here)
* surprisingly affordable at only 28 bucks!

And of course, made in the good ol’ USA!

You do, that is. Because I’m gonna stick to the real thing. (And by real, I mean that processed, goopy stuff.)
