Ojon Rare Harvest Takawa "Ball" - Chocolate as Exfoliating Treating

ojonball.jpgI think it is safe to say that anyone reading CandySnob has a strong affinity for chocolate. But is that affinity strong enough that you would rub a giant dark chocolate ball on your body to treat your skin?

Enter "The Ojon Rare Harvest Takawa "Ball" - sold at Sephora and other cosmetics stores.

The Ojon Site describes it as:

"A powerful antioxidant-rich, cleansing full-body scrub treatment.

Ojon® Tawaka™ "The Ball" contains a high dose of wildcrafted Ojon® oil, rich in essential fatty acids, Omega-3, 6 and 9; Omega-3 fatty acids are essential components for skin's functioning. Omega-6 fatty acids are essential components of skin's structure. A deficiency of these essential fatty acids is the most common and can cause dry, flaky skin.

This exclusive skin smoother is inspired by a ball only available in the Tawaka™ villages found in the remote tropical rainforest of Central America - that is, until now. Ojon® offers you this luxurious beauty sphere for use in your very own home. Ojon® Tawaka™ "The Ball" is produced in small batches, with each ball taking up to 2 days to produce.

A beautiful fact: The rare, wildcrafted Tawaka™ Cacao blend in "The Ball" contains the same antioxidant amount as 2,834 lbs of blueberries!"

The folks at NOTCOT bought one and used it. Their take? Feels like chocolate, smells like dark chocolate (awesome), and not sweet to the tastebuds (try this at your own risk...). Once wet, the ball makes little nibs of chocolate which act as the massaging skin treatment.

New Candy from Hershey - Spunow Bar, Delicious Coconut Covered in Dark Chocolate

spunow-3.jpgThis post from Blogadilla is just too funny. Should Candy Snob do a review of Spunow bars?

"In a gas station today. The candy bar doesn't scan, so the cashier holds up the bar and, in a thick accent, calls to the other employee:

"Spunow is same price as Snickers?"

It took me and the other employee about a minute to get what she was talking about."

Fat Pig Chocolate - Calling it like they see it...

fat pig 1.jpgHad enough of the 100 calorie packs, low carb, lite, blah blah blah...malarkey that candy companies use to try and get you to feel better about stuffing your face with delicious candy? If the answer's yes, then you'll appreciate Fat Pig. A chocolate company that makes no bones about calling it like they see it when it comes to true chocolate lovers.

It looks pretty good, it is "oinkganic" afterall. They have great packaging, and an irreverent style that I'm sure is going to garner them equal parts accolade and criticism - but my guess is that's exactly how they'd like it. In case you can't read what the back of the chocolate piece says in the photo, it will give you a basic idea of their approach:


Get your snout in this. Shove every single square in your face right now. And do it quick, or some other fat pig might ask you for a piece. Oink, oink!

Hello people at Fat Pig...if you're out there and can hear me...we at Candy Snob need to review this chocolate...throw us a bone and send us some. Pretty please!

Packaging for Gourmet Confections Company Route 29, Napa

route29_packaging.jpg
A bold and fun new look to unify the historic brand ('historic' being a relative term to the Napa locals we're assuming).

"Our caramels and chocolates have never looked so tasty," said Route 29, Napa owner Kim Kalan.

Twix Campaign Helps You Get the Girl

Twix and their ad agency (Nitro) have launched a website to go with their "Get the Girl" ad (below). The new website - www.twix.com - goes hand in hand with the commercial, where we meet out flirty yet stumbling hero. The site lets you pick the next moves, so you can see how the story turns out and whether he gets the girl. Sort of like a candy-rific Choose Your Own Adventure game.

National Chocolate Caramel Day - Who Knew?

National Chocolate Caramel Day is observed on March 19. It's a day to celebrate everything great about chocolate and caramel. While it may not be a holiday that you'll have off from work, it can be just as much fun as any other holiday. Use this day as an excuse to get your family and friends together to enjoy your favorite treats and have a ball celebrating.

1. Celebrated March 19th
2. Not a federal holiday
3. Not a holiday sanctioned by the U.S. Congress

So what if its a made up holiday, we think its a fine idea.

Rompibollo Chocolate Puts the Calorie Count on Each Piece

chocolate calories.jpgNow you can eat chocolate knowing exactly how much calories it has, if you're into that sort of thing.

"Rompibollo" is a chocolate board which can be divided in pieces of different dimensions. On the relief of each piece is the calorie count...Holy Buzz Kill Batman. On the other hand, the cool thing about this idea is that with the different dimensions, you can choose how many or how few calories you take in.

Man tries to buy M&Ms with pot; Fake Hershey's "Pot" Candy

When you gotta have your M&Ms, you gotta have your M&Ms...from the Chicago Tribune:

A New Zealand man who offered to pay with marijuana when he did not have enough money for a snack was caught by a police officer who overheard his unusual proposal, a news report said Tuesday.

Wade Churchward, 28, went to a service station on March 22 in the capital, Wellington, where he picked up two packets of M&M's candy and some potato chips, the Dominion Post newspaper reported.

But when he reached the cashier, he realized he didn't have enough money and instead offered a container with 0.042 ounces of marijuana and a pipe for smoking it, the report said.

Churchward failed to notice a patrol car outside and a police officer standing behind him in line -- who promptly arrested him.

Which brings us to an older story I stumbled upon in looking into the story above from ABC News - fake Hershey's candy with a definitive marijuana theme.

ht_pot_candy_070531_ms.jpg

No surprise, Hershey is suing the California marijuana dealer who did this, for ripping off the company's name and using it to sell marijuana-laced knockoffs. Our favorite? Tough call, but we're going with Keef-Kat.

Chocolate Bar Calculator - So You Know How Many Candy Calories You're Eating

chocolatecalcuator1-300x204.jpgIn case your candy-based calorie counts are higher than you can count in your head (like mine), we now have The Chocolate Calculator (donned the Choculator by Chip Chick). It is a calculator, cleverly disguised as a Hershey's-esque chocolate bar. It measures 2.5″ w x 4″ and costs $8.
