Konjac candy

From: Susan Cooper coops at execpc.com> on 2001.10.09 at 16:10:43(7582) Mmmm konjac candy! Tastes great! I think the fervor over this item is just the "latest". Do you remember a +More few years ago, when hot dogs were considered lethal for children? The candy has a small cup of gelatin with a piece of "something" in the center that is approx 1 cm square. I'm not sure where the konjac comes in, the ingredients also list coconut or konjac-coconut. Susan

(Yes, I know that is a wholly different plant.)

Sold as New Choice Assorted Flavors Mini Fruity Gels (Sabores Surtidos). QUESTION - has anyone tried shooting these with a syringe of vodka, rum, or some other alcoholic concoction? Wonder how the konjac would react?!?!?! :) +More -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, October 09, 2001 4:40 PM To: aroid-l@mobot.org Subject: Re: Konjac candy KK, How many other eyeballs have you eaten?
