The most unexpected candy ever sold in a airport?

[GON]

Saw this for sale at DFW airport. Still blows my mind not only this a candy- but it is for sale at a major airport of all places. Maybe a art supply store.... but DFW airport? Along with being a painter with a cult like follow in some circles, Bob Ross was a Air Force Vet and retired as a MSG..

My guess the candy buyer for HMS Host has a thing for Bob Ross...

That's pretty weird. The transparent lollipops with the little scorpion inside that they sell at Phoenix Sky Harbor are disturbing the first time you see one.

sounds messy and gross....

I wonder who is getting the royalties.

The Joy of Painting was filmed here in Muncie at Ball State on WIPB.

I'm used to stuff that you kind of expect. Around here it's See's and Ghirardelli.

Long story - but I used to spend a lot of time at SFO when I was kid. This was at a time when anyone could go past security and they never checked anyone for a ticket. They sold Parisian sweet and sourdough French bread there.

As for bizarre candies, I'm not sure there's anything airport specific about that. I've seen scorpion and meal worm lollipops at specialty candy stores before.

Maybe not an unexpected candy, but all three major airports in the San Francisco Bay Area have Gordon Biersch and their garlic fries. That might be unexpected to the person sitting next to someone who just consumed them.

Anything associated with Ball U. tends to be great!

I'm a born Hoosier. It's a great place to be FROM, LOL. Indiana is actually o.k. and southern Indiana is remarkably hilly, forested, and beautiful.

Correction. Oakland apparently lost its location, and a ton of their non-airport locations were closed.

Bob Ross is the man, I used to watch old episodes of The Joy of Painting with my dog Sadie during thunderstorms as his demeanor and voice would calm her down. Colleague of mine has two original paintings from his Alaska days.

There's a ton of controversy now over how Bob Ross is marketed and how control over his likeness was obtained.

The dark side of memed painter Bob Ross comes into focus in new Netflix documentary
