samhexum Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) Several companies are putting a new twist on candy canes with unconventional flavor offerings like hot dogs, brisket and sardines. While the holiday treat typically comes in a minty flavor, now other varieties such as ketchup, brisket, cherry, bubble gum, clove, mango chili, sour cream and onion, and Caesar salad have all hit shelves this year. After the 2021 peppermint shortage, many companies are attempting to produce candy canes with a variety of tastes, reported Axios. The shortage, which was caused by a drop in peppermint oil as well as supply chain issues, forced manufacturers to expand flavors and create a wide-ranging variety of non-peppermint candy canes. One company, Archie McPhee, really thought outside the box and developed a sardine-flavored treat — and, yes, people eat them according to the company’s president David Wahl. The company is also responsible for other odd flavors like macaroni and cheese, pickles, bacon, kale, hot dogs, sour cream and onion, and butter. Wahl said the pickles-flavored candy cane is their best seller. “My dream would be just like Willy Wonka to do a full meal of candy canes, where you started with the appetizer and worked your way to dessert,” Wahl told HeraldNet. https://nypost.com/2022/12/21/candy-canes-now-come-in-brisket-sardine-flavors/ Edited December 21, 2022 by samhexum for shits and giggles + glennnnn and pubic_assistance 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luv2play Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 The problem I have with candy canes is that they are made of sugar. Introducing savoury flavors doesn't alter the basic truth. You are eating suger. So I avoid them. + Pensant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, braggarts... I saw the London production of A Chorus Line in 1977, which not that many people can say, since it only ran for 3 years across the pond. And I was a 15 year old on my own, since my dad & sister had no interest.
