I was walking through an arcade the other day (an arcade, btw, is what Australians call a "shopping mall." I was not playing video games) and saw a "global" candy store that had goodies from around the world. Since I don't just have a sweet tooth but rather an entire mouth full of sweet teeth, I of course entered. You can imagine my laughter, confusion and delight when I approached the "US Candy" section and saw what you see above: Heinz Sweet Relish and Crisco. Hilarious. And also slightly concerning. I hope foreigners who are unfamiliar with US products don't take a spoon to a can of Crisco. I can just see it: they eagerly go home to eat this bizarre US version of ice cream and a topping, and they end up with a mouth full of sweet-relish covered Crisco. Hey, if there is a shortage of chocolate candy bars this Halloween you now have a new candy alternative to give the youngsters...at least according to Australia.
