My sister received one of these lil’ guys as a gift recently, and excitedly told me about it today. I have never heard about this wondrous candy, this “Peppermint Pig” until now; a glorious product of the Saratoga Sweet Company. This mint-flavored, hard candy hog includes a small faux-velvet whacking sack, as well as a tiny metal hammer. The idea is, you stick the candy pig in the sack, tie it off, and beat its minty face in with the mini hammer until it breaks into smaller, edible pieces.
I suppose that makes sense, as opposed to sticking the whole goddamn pig in your face at once. All the pleasures of pounding a live swine in a sack, without having to endure all that horrid squealing!
What fun!!
