Finally, a use for candy corns… as a not-so deadly weapon. The Double Barrel Candy Corn Launcher is brought to us by Dragonfly Fabrication, and should provide some much-needed protection whilst trick-or-treating.
The device is 3-D printed, and will launch two at a time. If you live somewhere with mean neighbors, who think that kids still like candy corns, you’ll have plenty of ammo for the night.
Find out more about this sweet weapon here, and see it in action below.

Emily Seilhamer wanted to create some sweet couture. So, after four years and collecting over 10,000 Starburst wrappers, Emily’s sporting the Starburst Wrapper Dress.
She organized the wrappers by color, ironed them, folded them into links, and created candy wrapper chains. The result is a rainbow masterpiece, worthy of any prom or grand opening of a candy store. She even showed some love for yellow.
Pop-Tarts, feeling that their product isn’t nearly tart enough, has introduced a Jolly Rancher version.
Jolly Rancher Pop-Tarts are filled with candy-inspired cherry, watermelon and/or green apple. To sweeten the deal, the toaster pastries are frosted. Hopefully, the Tarts won’t remain stuck to your teeth for long.

As if candy still needs a catchy slogan to get us to eat tons of it. Nonetheless, candy slogans exist and comedian Jeff Wysaski of Obvious Plant decided to have a little fun with them.
Although the updated slogans are a bit more reading then we need in the candy aisle, it might make you want Skittles more… if that’s even possible.
