This Raleigh, N.C. bar is offering Bubbilicious shots -- shots of vodka in which Bubbilicious bubble gum has been soaking for days. They also make Jolly Rancher vodka by doing the same thing with the famed hard candies.
I may be one of the few people out there who reads that and thinks "cool!" and not "gross!" We tried to make basil vodka at our house but, uh, forgot about it and it eventually turned brown. And I'm making homemade vanilla extract right now ... vodka with a vanilla bean in it, set aside to soak for months. This time, you want it to turn brown.

- I'm an entertainment editor at MSNBC.com, and have maintained Pop Culture Junk Mail since August, 1999. The New York Times called the site "one of the best places to explore pop culture online," and Entertainment Weekly included it on their Top 100 Web Sites list. If you like weird food, strange products, and 1970s and 1980s nostalgia, PCJM is your home away from home.
I have a brand new BOOK, written with Brian Bellmont. "Whatever Happened to Pudding Pops? The Lost Toys, Tastes and Trends of the '70s and '80s." Buy it online, and follow our retro reminiscing on our GenXtinct blog, Facebook, and Twitter.

I used to drop Jolly Ranchers into Zima...and I have two bottles of vanilla soaking; they're ready at the end of July. Thank you, Martha.
Y'know, I've put a packet of Skittles in vodka to make Skittles Vodka. It's actually pretty tasty, even if the vodka looks nasty.
Heh. Jolly Ranchers Zima in tha hizzouse! Cherry, especially. 1994, those were the days.
