Food We Want To Lick: Candidate Lollipops

Brian Fairbanks — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 16:48:00 GMT

Made by hand... sugar and syrup... a little artificial flavor is added...

Assembled into a large blob... dabbed with a bit of color... layered with very thin slices and sealed up...

This could be a very apt description for the candidates running for President in the United States of America, circa 2008. Fortunately for you and your taste buds, this is merely a description of the process by which voting and candidate lollipops are made by Kai's Candies...

Drool over them, we're not judgmental... including the goofy-looking Obama one...

Later in August they’ll have a set for John McCain that features a lollipop with his face plus red elephant candies.

We're not sure licking John McCain is an appealing idea, although if the candy is as delicious as the above lollipop looks, we might be able to close our eyes and enjoy. But what does it actually taste like, you must be wondering...

Kai’s Candy has a nice post on their blog that shows photos of the process.

In the case of Kai’s Candies, the background is a translucent candy instead of an opaque color, which adds to the appeal of these, like they’re enamel.
The flavor is light. The website says that Obama is lemon-lime, but at times it tastes like a sweet banana or simply boiled sugar. There’s absolutely no hint of tartness to it, or even any zest. I found that the individual pieces were similarly bland. (I found McCain bitter, but that’s probably the red food coloring.)

How ironic-- McCain is a red.
