You always start by biting the head off. That way it can't stare at you with those big soft eyes.

And the mummified woman found in her flat 13 years after her death? Fruit leather.

You should see the prototype Cadbury Egg they're working on.

After viewing the creepy candy, I begin clicking around randomly on the pravda site and found this gem on an article about a US sniper who was photographed relieving himself prior to the presidents arrival..
"It remains uncertain what the sniper would have done if he had at that very time to maintain defense of George Bush. Perhaps he would be able to protest his president with a different type of gun.
Luckily, the US president had nothing to worry about, so the sniper confidently pulled up his pants took back the gun and confidently strode away."
SUCH CONFIDENCE!

I was originally going to post that, but couldn't look away from the sweet, sweet babies.

Chocolate babies are less interesting than the lack of public fucking laws.

Less interesting, PeterMcDermott, or two sides of the same coin?

I just wanted to say that this creeps me out just as much now as the first time I saw it. Also, that I think I'm going to have a salad for lunch.

Just in case anyone missed my cryptic comment above (or Dave's more obvious one): this was posted previously. In addition, it was pointed out in that thread that the babies are NOT candy of any kind, but are sculptures.

Pravda gets this kind of stuff wrong a lot.
It's like they see pictures, have a fantasy about what it could be, then go from there.

which makes me worry just slightly that our Russian friends are desperate for chocolate newborns, although I do understand how that would seem compellingly delicious...it could give all new and disturbing joy to the Easter chocolate industry, however, which makes me wish they WERE made of chocolate

In fact every story in the society section of that site is genius/nonsense - witness: "Cat-parachutist to jump from 2,5-mile height ", "People marry animals trying to find happiness" and "Wine turns into live blood of Jesus Christ in Italy".

PeterMcDermott:
The Pravda article says this:
"For example, several years ago Britain passed the law on sexual behavior that banned sex in pubic places, including private yards if passers-by can see that. But Britons may have sex in toilet booths only with the closed door."
Is sex in non-pubic places okay then?

As pointed out in yhbc's link to Snopes these are not edible. They're sculptures (Prosculpt polymer, clay and mohair) by Camille Allen .

You just need to take an adult chocolate citizen, and melt him/her gently so that everything sags.

Perhaps she suffers from the condition expounded on in an adjacent headline: "Women Depressed of Being Women"? A story which then handily links to, "Whipping Therapy Cures Depression and Suicide Crises."
I think I prefer sugar babies.

was there a market need for babies in a more conveniently carryable size?
Did I miss something?
Next they are going to make very small babies with added vitamins.
And then, a new edgy packaging, all designed to conceal the fact that the new babies are 2 ounces smaller to save on production costs.

I don't like how the realism ends when you bite into the thing. I would prefer a baby that was made of red gummy candy, covered with a flesh-colored fondant. With a peppermint stick skeleton for that satisfying "crunch".
