Those are unfortunate silhouettes or Cyrano de Bergerac.

In Danish gas station mini-marts there's a bag of intentionally rude gummi-candies called Silly-Koner, in the shape of boobs, penis, a fat butt, et al.

I don't get it.

That is so awesome. They had to have done it on purpose and just called them "lighthouses" to get them out on the shelves. I mean, why would lighthouses of all things have a huge market in the candy industry...? Too funny! I want some!

And the wrapper shows a burst around the lighthouse rather than the focused beam of light that usually is used to portray lighthouses

This is super duper.

I must admit, I have a soft side for dick & balls confectionery. But seriously, we should ask Haribo to make these. I can't be seen purchasing this no-name crap.

I always did have an affinity for lighthouses.

Does it help guide lost seamen?

Wow, just wow. In my mind I see these being sold in a gift shop on the coast of Maine. That makes it even funnier...

You can order a 1 lb box here:

And yes, I did order a box - for a work meeting, in fact.

A fine use of my big, whopping jury duty check, I think ($12 a day plus $0.30 for mileage).

Dang - I only got $10 a day for jury duty, plus a couple of bus coupons.

And who the hell thought "gummi lighthouses" was a good idea in the first place?

When you live in a city where public transport doesn't actually go downtown (or at least not within a couple of miles of the court house), they don't have a choice but to pay mileage.

You know what you can do with those is lay them out in a single layer on a cookie sheet with a raised edge, or in a baking dish, and then cover them almost all the way with vodka. Chill them in the freezer for a day and they'll soak up all the liquor, and then you'll have vodka lighthouse penises for your next party. Mmm.
