Over the years, I've been amazed (and, sometimes, disgusted) by the junk that gets sold as candy. When I was little, candy cigarettes, complete with powdered suger smoke, was pretty facinating. Now, the selection boggles. I'm sure you've seen the bins of stuff at the checkout lines -- gummy rats, bubblegum cellphones, etc. Thanks to the fine folks at [stupid.com](http://www.stupid.com), you can get all the [stupid candy you want online](http://www.stupid.com/allcandy.htm). The selection ranges from inspired (a labelmaker that prints messages on bubblegum strips), to useful (a swiss-army style kit with lollipop), to tasteless (Chocka Ca-Ca: Chocolate fudge in a diaper). If candy's not your thing, you might enjoy browsing [the stupid gift department](http://www.stupid.com/giftshop/maingift.htm).
