Aren’t candy cigarettes contraband? And is this the coolest Father’s Day gift ever?

June 1, 2009 By admin

fathers day gift present

Everybody makes “necktie” jokes — then gives Dad a necktie. A “funny” one with Homer Simpson on it is still a necktie.

Amazon and Target have put together a really cool idea this year: Retro Candy Boxes.

So, if you’re a Dad who grew up in the 1980s, the 80s Retro Candy Box comes packed with Pop Rocks, Jolly Rancher, Pixy Stix, Nerds wax fangs and, yeah, candy cigarettes.

(I guess so you can play “Prison” or something!)

They have these Retro Candy Boxes for every decade going back to the 1940s.

I don’t have a dad to give one to (and probably wouldn’t give mine anything if I could — he died owing me thousands in child support.)

But I still thought they were cool enough to mention.
