I got John Paul Jones hooked on eBay

This is Fabulicious, a New Zealand confectionary that consists of red liquorice filled with sherbet.

It was so spectacularly popular when it first came out in the early 90's, there were news articles on how you couldn't get any. Dairies (that's the kiwi word for convenience store) would hike the price 500% and they'd still sell out the moment supplies hit the stores. Hordes of stoned teenagers roamed the streets of Hamilton, searching in vain for the mythical store that might still have some.

Eventually supply increased to match demand, and the craze died down. I remain a devoted fan, and had my sister bring back a bulk supply when she got back from NZ this weekend.

The reason I post it online today is to see if you notice the same thing I noticed, many years ago. Look at the figure on the right of the package. Do you see what I see? I'm trying to ascertain if it is the person who devised that image who is the sick puppy, or it's merely my mind that's seeing perversion where there is none.

See you at the sevitzdotparty. Tong!
