I just saw this on Dave Barry's blog and had to post it.
"Product Details: Totally gross! You know what we're talking about. You've skinned your elbow while crashing your bicycle getting extreme over a gnarly jump in your neighborhood. You cry to your mommy and she gently places a bandage over the bloody spot. Two days later, you peel back the bandage to re-assess the damage. That same spot is now oozy in the middle and crusty at the edges! SO NASTY! You know you want to lick that puss spot.... don't deny it.... and now you can.... with Candy Scabs! Each pack includes candy scabs and 5 plastic bandages which are stickable just like a real bandage. A plastic compartment on the bandage opens to reveal a pressed dextrose candy scab. Open the compartment, lick the candy, and reseal for licking later! Unit Price = $1.65/scab. Display box contains 12 packs of Lick Your Wounds Candy Scabs. Shipping Weight ~ 2 lbs. "
Now seriously, I am not much of a candy guy to begin. Starburst, Twix, Kit Kat, Reeces Peanut Butter Cups, and those mini Snickers are all I really like. There is no way in hell I would try this. It is just to gross. I KNOW, it is JUST candy. However, I just have that feeling that I would get that warm saliva, I am about to barf feeling if I had one of these in my hand to try. I just couldn't bring myself to do it just because of what it looks like. Maybe as a kid, I would have been able to. Maybe. I just know, I can't do it now. So, are you with me, or are you a sick freak?

I couldn't even really read the post. Too gross. Ick! No way!
Dude! licking wounds, you are on your own on that one. Me I prefer a lollypop.
That is SO GROSS I am fighting the urge to barf!
You barfed a lot as a kid, Man. So, I don't know. . .
Hey, thanks for bringing that to our attention:(
p.s. I saw your profile, and that you edited it. YOU ARE NOT A BUM!
That is pretty disgusting but I'm assuming it at least tastes like candy. Now those jelly belly flavors they have like "barf" etc. - that is gross! One thing is to have a candy look bad but another is to have it actually taste bad. This is definitely for kids - they have tougher stomachs-except for you sweetie! You never had a tough stomach
La Chou - I hope this article isn't what made you sick!
POM - Yeah, kids would love it I'm sure..
Nani - I'm with ya!
Jose - Yeah, lollypop sounds much better.
CB - I had to fight it too!
Mom - I had that barf flavored jelly belly. Worst thing ever put in my mouth. I prefer to eat sand than have another one fo those!
