Candy McCain and The Obama bar (Now with 30% more flavor)

If your disbelief was not unsettling enough, please hold on, because you are now downwind of the sweet delectable candy factories.  We find ourselves in a maelstrom of tasty confections, each one of us being nearly impaled by the potential pleasures and flavors concocted by our two houses of sugary goodness.   

If you did not think the Candy McCain had enough peppermint punch – did you think the Obama bar was not filling enough?  Are you puzzled by your lack of political caloric intake?  Wait no more it is time for the drinks.

As with any true confection only one thing could make it better. Is anyone in the mood for coffee or tea?  John Edwards had the potential to be transmogrified into a perfect cup of Orange Pekoe – one nearly fit for dunking the sweetly seraphic comfit ‘the Obama bar’.  Whether or not his staff knew it, this orange pekoe would cause serious acid reflux – nix that option.  Mitt Romney’s metamorphose into a cup of coffee would not be unsettling as time to time I would put a stick of peppermint in my coffee.  Save for the fact that it is such a strong cup—I could see people staying up for weeks after having just a couple.  Worthy of law enforcement and truck drivers—I could see this duo a good combination for ‘the untouchables’ when the mob needed cleaned up in the windy city.   This, like the orange pekoe, is too full of heart burn potential.   Although on the radar both flavors made them outliers.

Hillary Clinton’s transubstantiation into a warm cup of Irish coffee does seem the most intriguing.  Very good for dunking, consuming, but like a good cup of Irish coffee, can stand alone.  And if you are trying to sell Obama bars you would hate to lose sales to those Irish coffee drinkers who might not care less.   The problem with the Obama bar is that most of the drinks which may help it go down, might be so time honored that they might leave a person wondering what they just ate with the drink.

Unlike the Obama bar, Candy McCain has a significant peppermint punch – although the level of which is disputed amongst its consumers.   Whatever the ideal drink is with the McCain—ideally it must be mellow and visually appealing.  Kay Bailey Hutchison might be the julep for McCain’s peppermint; of course, it would be served cold for those hot days ahead.
