Feeling Violet
Remember that part in Willy Wonka where Violet Beauregard eats a piece of ‘Three Course Meal’ flavored gum?
(For those who are pitifully ignorant of that wonderful Gene Wilder movie; in the Inventing Room, Violet eats a piece of gum that’s flavored to taste like tomato soup, then roast beef with mashed potatoes, and then blueberry pie)
Well, I just had a "life imitating art" moment yesterday when I ate a piece of Broiled Beef flavored caramel.
Yes, you read right. Broiled beef flavored. Don’t believe me? Check out the box for yourself: 
When you first bite into it all you taste is caramel with a hint of ginger but the more you chew, the garlic, pepper, and then beef flavors become more pronounced. It was quite a bizarre experience. Unlike most of the others who tried the caramel, I didn’t spit it out, but i sure as heck would have to be paid a whole lot of money to eat it again. Its definitely something you only do one in your life.
On the bright side, at least I didn’t turn into a human blueberry.
