With a name like this, it’s GOT to be good!

Okay marketing team, we need an image for our new candy product.

We want to use a man’s name. It turns out Russell Stover is already taken, so we’re gonna have to go with our second choice, Osama bin Laden.

Heck, let’s call him SUPER! Nothing says “yummy, tasty, milk coconut kulfa balls” like Super Osama bin Laden.

I want a photo of him with his mouth open, holding up a finger like he’s saying, “Kids, they’re kulfa-licious!”

Lonnie, we’ll need a marketing plan similar to the ones for our Gummy Hitlers and Satan Brittle.

Psst.. Hey CIA, now that the waterboarding is over, you can use the spare time to check out the address on these royalty checks.

No need to thank me, just doing my part as an American. *salute*

Just in time for the 4th of July. Find them in the Phanton Fireworks display in your local candy store!

But avoid the fireworks that strap to your body. They aren’t as fun as the picture makes it look.

And that’s how corrupt this system is.

Unreal, and yet, so real. I want to taste them

Dear Gail,
I respectfully recommend that you consider whose kulfa what you are talking about before you offer to taste them.
