Lovecraftian Lollipops

Jason, who made the great Chocolate Cthulhu, has a line of Lovecraftian Lollipops that accompany it:

In the tradition of the Chocolate Cthulhu Idol and the Giant Cthulhu Chocolate Bar comes our first foray into the world of hard candies.We offer you......Loathsome Lovecraftian Lollipops! Included in this first wave are Cthulhu, a Deep One, Nyarlathotep and the Elder Sign.

LOATHSOME LOVECRAFTIAN LOLLIPOPS: WAVE 1 (Thanks, Jason!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

That green cthulu pop needs to be made with absynthe, and we’d be onto something.

I don’t want to be knit picky but doesn’t the logo look a lot like the HYDRA logo from the Marvel universe. I see that it has an extra tentacles on both sides, along with little ones. But when I saw it first think I thought was HYDRA.

A perfect party favor for game night – when it’s Arkham Horror (with the Dunwich Horror Expansion of course!).

the elder sign is the Derleth version rather than Lovecraft’s one or even the hybrid version.

Eating a Cthulhu can’t possibly be a good idea.

Am I the only one concerned that the recent resurgence in cute and tasty eldritch horrors presages the awakening of nameless evils from their ancient slumber lulling us with their sugary song into a sense of yummy complacency?

  So a increase in interest in gold wrapped chocolate coins forewarns the rise of a wall street horror?

    The year before the banking crisis I remember seeing a lot of those things…something called Valentine’s Day.
