I thought you might like to see the stash of sweeties which S. got from the local sweetshop with a pound that he was given. He is usually only allowed to eat sweets very occasionally, (otherwise he would eat nothing else) but this was a special pound from great-granny, who does not understand about children not being allowed sweets. So for once, he got the chance to splurge. It took him about half an hour to choose this collection, with great care.
As it is not Halloween, he didn't get the chance to buy candy in the shape of fangs, but I think the life-sized dental plates are far worse.
Those teeth - eek! It all looks like something a kid would really enjoy tho.

Those who have had the idea to produce such oddly shaped sweets knew exactly what they were doing - probably they would have loved having those when they were kids!
ReplyDeleteI was always a chocolate lover, never really went for the sugary-rubbery-chewy kind of sweets myself.
I am sure he had a great time picking those out.
ReplyDeleteI bet the teeth went in his mouth in one go. Looking at the plate of sweeties made my mouth water. I almost wished I was a child again,.
ReplyDeleteAs my nickname would indicate, I don't turn up my nose at too much food, but this is a plate I'd definitely consider passing on.
ReplyDeleteCC
Wow, those teeth look real!
ReplyDeleteA child with a whole mouthful of sweet teeth. Yuk!
ReplyDeletethe dental plates could be handyt when the real teeth fall out from all the sweeties! the fried egg looks disgusting - what fun! haha
ReplyDeletehahahahahahah, so funny.
ReplyDeleteYou know just the fact he got to spend sometime looking and figuring out what he could purchase was half the fun !
On my blogger reader I just saw a small thumbnail and I thought you were going to post about Japanese plastic display food. The egg really looks like it.
cheers, parsnip
Ooh those teeth look horrible, but I must admit just the sort of thing I would have loved when I was little x
ReplyDeleteI think the fried egg looks far worse, and laughed at the whole assortment. You reallyc an tell the uppers from the lowers!
ReplyDeleteÑam, ñamm .... As it does not like candy? good idea!! :)). Greetings and happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a yummy looking plateful - although not a sweet lover I would enjoy eating them - bar the teeth that is!
ReplyDeleteI think your other readers are correct in that chomping on the dentures would be a joy to children - I reckon aging puts us off eating what we might some day have to wear!
Kind regards
Anna :o]
THose are truly awful! I hope he enjoyed them:)
ReplyDeleteObviously children have the ability to see though the representation: it's a sweet! I could no more eat those teeth than fly!
ReplyDeleteHow funny! Children love anything in the shape of something that would make an adult cringe. They think it is so funny! I think it is the responsibility of the grandparents and great grandparents to spoil. Good job! Have a terrific weekend. Bonnie
ReplyDeleteLove it! I would probably pick out something similar. Just because I could.
ReplyDeleteWhat a colourful selection. They say you should eat food of many colours to be healthy!
ReplyDeleteI would enjoy them too, especially those teeth. Of course I would have to try and wear them for a few hours too ;o)
ReplyDeleteIt all appears much like sushi, and a sunny side up egg...which can be yummy, as for the teeth...ha ha...very light-hearted! I'm sure as sweets go they are all tasty!
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting that the sweets have been shaped like a dental plate when sweets have been known to be a cause for tooth decay. I wonder if there's a hidden message behind.
ReplyDeleteGrandparents "forgot" that their grandchildren shouldn't be allowed to enjoy too much, unlike the time when they were parents. xD
ReplyDeleteI bet we'll turn into the same indulging granny when it's our time. ^^
Those dental sweets! OMG! But great for gag gift, I think. ;)
Those teeth are so weird! I never liked that kind of sweet, even as a kid.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Great-Granny myself!
ReplyDeleteWonderful that S. took half an hour to choose. It must have been quite a challenge. Great-granny's ignorance is clearly bliss for little S.
ReplyDeleteSo he turned down the glass eyes and the drunkard's nose in favour of the false teeth?
ReplyDeleteGood for him!!! The best of indulgences!! I hope he enjoyed them.
ReplyDeleteI've always gotten a kick out of pseudo-foods (looks like a hamburger, but it's really cake), but those dental plates are really quite creepy!
ReplyDeleteHe got a lot of goodies for £1!! Yum. I love jelly candy sweets.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, those are some proper sweets :-)
ReplyDeletehahahah... I wonder how my nanna would react to those sweets... :-)
