MINDCANDY

A weekly rummage in the attic of sci-fi

Stand aside, modern snacks, with your hand-baked Guineafowl and Asparagus flavoured ponciness. The 1970s saw this range of ghoulish, corn-based treats crawl from the crypt, delivering such supernatural wonderment as Salt & Vinegar Bones, Cheese & Onion fangs and - our fave - "Batburger" Bats. Taste the monosodium glutomate of Dracula!
