Wacky merchandise of the day: Let the Twilight candy hearts dazzle you!

March 21st, 2009 by Dunc · 4 Comments

OH MY GOD I LITERALLY LOL'ED.

Yes, these Twilight conversation hearts are for real: I actually saw them in Borders today. Some of them have glitter and one says “Dazzle.” IT’S LIKE THEY’RE SPOOFING THEMSELVES.

Of course, the Twilight folks are breaking no records here: The infamous Jar Jar lollipop beats this by miles and miles. But it gave me a good laugh this morning.

    If you hadn’t said you’d seen them at Borders, I would insist those are a photoshop.

    Maybe the people at the ad agency have a Robert Pattison-like perspective on the series?

    Because wow. Forbidden…

    Wow.

    I don’t doubt they had a lot of fun with it. I’d love to see the concepts they had to reject…

    “Hey, I’ve got a brilliant idea! We’ll sell a felted version of Bella’s womb! No? Really? Ok, how about these glittery candy hearts instead?”

    Wow, we totally sold these at my bookstore. They don’t taste that great, yet you’ll find yourself craving them later on. I think they’re laced with crack.

    They don’t look nearly as good as they do in the pic, though. Imagine all of the candies jumbled together & the shiny dust rubbing off on all the other candies, causing them to look like they’re all vaguely dusty.
