Suck on This

I can’t decide if crucifix suckers—made of fruit-flavored sugar, the greatest child-manipulation tool on earth—are more morbid or crass. However, I am tempted to order a dozen Holy Bible mint tins; a graceful storage solution for tampons, joints, crack pipes, condoms, and the like.

You’ll find all this crap and and lots more, including “Jesus Loves Me” kazoos and inflatable Jesus beach balls, at Oriental Trading Company.

I don't know if I can decide between the Clap for the Lord Hand Clappers or the Lamb of God Bobble Characters...

I still think my favorite's the neon gorillas with crosses embroidered on their chests. Or possibly the Jump for Jesus potato sacks.

Ok, AWESOME. Does somebody want to go in on a dozen mint tins with me? I could probably find obnoxious things to do with 3 or 4 of them, but not a dozen. . .

Email me at tackam@u.washington.edu. :D

And did you see the super gay rainbow cross suckers? Nice.

So when the cross mints fall out of the tin they all land right side up like in the picture right?
No upside down crosses?
it's a miracle!

The black tin is pretty sinister though. Would be good as Goth Jewelry hung on a chain around your neck while dancing. Keep your Cigarettes in it.

A kid at my dojo is selling this stuff. You know what the best part is? It's kosher.
