Designing candy

Has anyone else noticed that candy design is totally out of date? They keep making all the same figures and shapes: fruits, cola bottles, cars, animals etc. Ok, there are many many things that are pictured in wine gums and chocolates but hardly any provocative, current or otherwise interesting images are being turned into candy. I can easily come up with some examples that would be instant hits.

Goth-candy. Liquorice-razorblades, red drops of blood, hard spikes and some soft hearts maybe. Wrap this combination into a coffin-shaped cardboard box or just make the usual plastic bag look like old stone-cobbled wall and watch the candy aisle go black with emo-kids.

Gangsta-blings. Dollar signs, 9mm guns, apple bottom booties and all dat shiny ice (=diamonds). And of course a price tag to match the wallets of the 10-year old white wannabe-gangsters.

Fairtrade yummies. Ok, this probably exists already in some form but it could be improved. All the necessary and unnecessary information of the product has to be printed on the package. Not just the calories and ingredients, I mean EVERYTHING. Transportation methods, wages of the workers etc. Candy shapes could be cannabis leaves, peace signs and McDonalds logo which would taste awful.

Curiosities could also be profitable but not as lucrative as the concepts above. Celebrity-shaped chocolates (maybe done already), ultra-low-fat candies that wouldn't taste of anything at all, political wine gum figures..

Mark my words, someone will make this happen and gets SHITloads of dough.
