Lisa and I have an ongoing gross-candy contest, and perhaps the grossest thing we ever found was a plastic nose called Pick 'N' Chews, where you picked the gum or candy out of the nostrils.
Along these same lines, there is now the Hose Nose -- you strap it on your real nose and then let the liquid candy slowly driiiiip out to be caught on your tongue.
NEW GROSS-CANDY WINNER! Hands down! And this from someone who has actually eaten Gummi Maggots. (Via Candy Blog.)

OMG, that's just wrong!
OK, Hose Nose is pretty damn gross. I could not even look at the picture. I still think Pick N Chews is grosser, though. I mean, it came in all those colors. This stuff looks to be pretty clear. Chunks trump liquids. But marijuana-flavored candy? That's a whole different category--wrong!
