All I want for Christmas is some mystery meat

Someone recently asked me what I want for Christmas and I couldn't really think of anything off the top of my head. I poked around online and came up with the perfect gift. I really can't wait to charge down the stairs on Christmas morning tear open my gifts and find a lifetime supply of "Fear Factor Candy Challenge".

This product is a little bewildering to me for more than a few reasons. How many kids do you know that set their Tivo up to record Fear Factor every week? My guess is that if you check out the iPod video of your average candy-consuming elementary schooler, you're more likely to find some 'sodes of Yu-Gi-Oh or even Family Guy than you are Fear Factor. I'm sure the folks at NBC have performed a more in-depth market analysis than I have, but I just don't see sweet-toothed tots as being the target market for that show.

The second major issue is the lack of creativity and clarity in the flavor varieties. Spine Chilling Spiders? Been done.... Buzzard Buffet? I don't even know what that would entail... Mystery Meat? Little kids face worse in their daily school cafeteria offerings. That's like trying to market shrapnel soup to an Iraqi soldier. If they really wanted to get racy and exciting with the flavors they should've made some gummi goat penis, peppermint cow tongue or candy coated bat testicles. Of course, then we all know who'd be first in line to pick up a box or two...
