I used to love gathering these up in bulk from my local Sweet Factory (remember those?) when I was a kid. I think I just reveled in the sheer novelty of consuming candy that looked like miniature cola bottles. Now I find it all rather repulsive. I no longer eat gelatin now, as I am a strict vegetarian, but to me, the consistency of gelatin is just gross. Kind of like trying to gnaw on the bone cartilage of decaying, dismembered body parts. Ever tried that gummi ‘Happy Meal’ set, complete with gelatin “burger,” “fries,” and “cola?” Yeah. It’s kind of like that. Very strange and surreal. “Soylent green is PEOPLE!!”
