It's almost December, so let's say farewell to Fall with some unnecessarily autumnal candy! Caramel Apple Filled Twizzlers: Look Past the Ectoplasm and Give Goo a Chance OK, so, visually, these are a bit terrifying.

Please allow me to introduce what may be the worst Christmas candy of all time. I give you the Twizzlers Pull-n-Peel Holiday Edition. First, notice the bright, festive, red, green, and white swirl. Yes, very fitting. But now notice the flavors listed on the bag: cherry, green apple, and lemonade. Well, isn't that... Christmassy. I mean, I don't expect Twizzlers to flavor their licorice with mint or nutmeg or something, but getting excited about green apple and lemonade a
