Tasteless?  I'll bet there is some "tasty" chocolate in those candy bars 
(which are probably just repackaged Nestle Crunch bars)!!!  I can't wait to 
see them in the stores.  Heck, I'd but a whole box, especially if it ticks 
off these kinds of wackos!
     
Actually, some enterprising company could repackage Pop Rocks candy and 
call them "Geiger Gob's", Put a handfull in your mouth to get the avalanche 
effect!
     
What if Baskin Robbins comes out with a new flavor, "Mocha Meltdown"?  Or 
if Arabica or Starbucks the same in an iced coffee drink?
     
What if The fine people who make Immodium start marketing their product for 
those times when your local Chinese take-out place gives you the "China 
Syndrome". 
     
Mattel can now reintroduce Slime in little 55 gallon drums with D.O.T. 
labels all over them.
     
Hi-C can package their drink boxes in little drums and rename it "Primary 
Coolant" and the tag line could be, "Don't melt down, quench your reaction".
     
These people need to lighten up.  A lot!
