Everything to do with apples.

Got busy, so it's going to be a few more days before Disney Part 2. In a disastrous move, I'll try to tide you over with a new Kool-Aid review, knowing full well that this replacement is akin to that episode where the crowd was expecting a Chipmunks concert and booed the holy fuck out of the Chipettes. Today's featured flavor: Candy Apple.

In other news, some may remember the Shrunken Head Apple Project article from 2003, and the subsequent blog update from June, 2005. It's been just about a year since we last heard from Mr. Apple, and indeed, he's still kicking ass.

So yes, even after all these years, the Shrunken Head Apple dude hasn't disintegrated and hasn't once been infested with gnats. He just keeps getting cooler and cooler with age, like a wine or a cheese or a something else. Yes. Okay, back to writing about Disney...see you.

There’s nothing weird or chemical-ly about Splenda. It’s merely the hopeless tears of imprisoned pixies. Pixies, of course, being wholly sucrose-based organisms. Hence, pixie stix, the dried and ground remnants of specially fruit-fed pixies. That’s why people don’t applaud in movie theaters. Some might say that it’s because moviegoers recognize that the characters on the screen are unable to register or appreciate the applause, but in actuality it’s because all that clapping partially resurrects the pixie stix in the concession stand into a hellish, powdery half-life. And there’s really no quicker way to ruin a date than to have a packet of pixie stix start squirming all over the place inchworm-style, pathetically begging for death in squeaky little cries. And man, don’t even get me started on Sweet ‘n Low. You’ve tasted the stuff, you can probably fill in the blanks on your own.

Trust me, you want to stick with sugar. The carbs and possible type two diabetes are a small price to pay for peace of mind.

Yeah, Splenda isn’t what they claim it to be.

Jedoc… Oh … my. That post topped all other posts you’ve ever posted! I’m not sure in what fashion, though. :D ;)

:o WHOA! Now it all makes sense!

Anyway, Bravo Jedoc! I’d applaud but I have Pixi-sitcks nearby.

Old, old stuff.
Wasn’t really looking for it specifically… Don’t know if it’s worth 20 bucks, though.

I haven’t eaten a candy apple sicne I went to a carnival when i was ten, then found out the next morning that my puppy got run over and killed.

I can’t believe the shrunken head was one of the important things you took on your big move. That astounds me.

I have never ate a candy apple, for some reason I would imagine the candy taste would taste like red licorce even though I have heard different. Cinnamon disks type of taste I have heard? I might have to try one this halloween season!! I will definitely double boil me some carmel for some carmel apples, my fave carmel apple brand carmel is the kraft kind. You get free sticks!! And I assume the texture would be the right texture for carmel apple making.

Those apple things creep me out. My mother has this one (has had this one for years) that’s like dressed like with with green hair and clove eyes. I still have nightmares about that f*cker. Worst part is, my sister-in-law’s aunts all look exactly like it.

Wow I mention Splenda and it gets all this hate. If anyone has a shred of proof that it’s harmful, I’d like to be pointed in the direction of that information. Meanwhile, I’ll leave you to your diabetes-inducing sugar and your cancer-causing nutrasweet ( and there is plenty of documentation to support this claim, unlike the slander on my poor, wonderous, futur-tastic Splenda ). Not to sound too harsh, but if it’s good enough for my 85 year old diabetic grandmother, it’s good enough for me! And now, back to my lemonade.

Chestnuts roasted by The Kraken @ 06/12/2006 3:56 PM


Actually, Kraken, several studies show that in a good percentage of people, their bodies treat Splenda the same as sugar — except worse because it’s a million times sweeter. Just as diabetes-causing as the real stuff for some of us.

And if the NutraSweet does’t get me, the eight years of a pack-and-a-half a day or the asbestos will.

From the Ebay listing mentioned above:

"Not sold for cunsupmtion". Cunsumpmtion – it almost sounds dirty. If I wasn’t saving for my own Disneyworld fantasmagorical time next year (10 whole days, woohoo!), I’d bid on that homing beacon of goodness and drink that bitch up!

I’m digging all this apple talk. It’s making me enjoy each sip of my snapple apple even more.

Chestnuts roasted by BOAT @ 06/12/2006 4:57 PM


Snapple apple is the. Best. Snapple. Ever!

Chestnuts roasted by PRSense @ 06/12/2006 6:48 PM


Eating apples makes my mouth swell up.

Chestnuts roasted by Jessica Marie @ 06/12/2006 6:52 PM


I started my own shrunken head last night. I ate his flesh right off rather than peeling it like a woman. He needs to marinate in his saltwater pool for a few more hours. I cant wait.

Chestnuts roasted by Horatio @ 06/12/2006 7:06 PM


Mmmmmm….candy apple Kool-Aid!! Whatever happened to the days when the Kool-Aid people constantly churned out new and exciting flavors? It seems that all the flavors out (in this area, at least) are the traditional Fruit Punch, Cherry, Orange, Grape, etc. Even the Kool-Aid guy has resorted to wearing a simple pair of shorts and a regular old shirt. Or maybe I’m just getting old ;-)

Im gonna have to talk to Katie about buying that eBay koolaid

she still has the 15 or so packets of shark and purple dinosaur koolaids too.. what a wacky party that would be

Long after the human race has blown itself up, Shrunken Head Apple guy will still live on.

He will greet the eventual alien landing party and will share his sage wisdom with them.

Chestnuts roasted by Wukong @ 06/12/2006 7:25 PM


Well, the whole Splenda debate isn’t really if it’s sugar or not, because it’s made from sugar, to begin with. It’s what ELSE is in it and the fact that some people process it differently, so it could very well be absorbing into your body like sugar. Just do a web search and you will get all kinds of stuff about toxicity and chlorine and molecules and blah blah. My question is, why on earth would anyone want to eat a modified food that isn’t given the holy green light of safety? I’m vegan, so I try to use raw sugar as much as possible, but I know I still eat regular sugar in prepackaged foods, but at least I’m glad it’s not Splenda. If I was diabetic, I’d just try to stay away from sugar as much as possible. Oh and starch, because that is the main culprit alot of times.
