![]() The Internet must agree with me as I came across this meme which pretty much sums up my thoughts. A few didn’t see anything unusual, until I told them, at which point it could not be unseen. The answer was mostly “testicles,” with the occasional “butts” thrown in. I polled various male and female friends as to what they saw on the package. They've got the organic thing going for them. I doubt very much that Black Forest intentionally made the cherries look like testicles, but how could no one else working there have seen this? Wouldn’t this have gone through multiple people? Did no employee want to be the one to speak up and say, “Excuse me, these clearly look like balls?” Were people buying them because of their unique shape?

There’s also gummies with weed in them, though not (legally) in Philly.Īs a licensed-and-practicing gummy aficionado, I often frequent the gummy section of the candy aisle. You can get anything gummy: gummy turkey legs, gummy bacon, gummy haggis and even a 26-pound gummy “Party Python.” For your enemies, there’s the infamous sugar-free Haribo gummies which will wreak havoc on their stomachs.
