I want candy!

Roulette ChocolateVia Boing Boing: Chocolate bullets for your Russian Roulette-playing pleasure…

Seated in individual compartments, twelve chocolate bullets lay waiting to be bitten into. Although eleven of the sweet little slugs contain delicious praline centres, one conceals a seriously red hot chilli that's guaranteed to blow your head off - metaphorically, at least.

Why didn't they post this last week?! I so would have bought one for Chris. The ad copy describes the product as "Willy Wonka meets the Deer Hunter!"

I would have thought Chris would prefer 11 with chilis and one with praline.

Yes. Habañero praline.

Bah! Make it a real game and fill it with ear wax, or vomit, or a slug!

Ick. Ear wax is too "Harry Potter."

I think the CDC might have something to say about vomit-filled chocolates. (It also brings to mind both the Whizzo Chocolate Company sketch and Nigel from Spinal Tap explaining that You can't really dust for vomit.)

So that leaves us with… slugs! And someone's already making those. (There's also another brand that comes in a can.)

While I would prefer to partake of the "pretend" slugs, there is also a company that offers "real insects, hand-dipped in exquisite white or milk chocolate." Each box contains two crickets and two worms. Close enough?
