A bag of nice round differently colored round candies, and licorice! Each round candy has a big Atomic Symbol printed on it, and are different sizes and densities. They also have small holes in the sides representing places where electrons would be, and small stubs representing places where electrons
are, in the outer shell. Licorice tubes make little bendy parts to make complex molecules easier.
Hydrogen is small and light, due to the air bubble inside. Soft and chewy, it will combine with just about anything. It has one stub for an electron, and a gap in case you want to combine it with another molecule. You get lots of these.
Carbon is a building block of organic life. If you need to build an amino acid, this is your atom of choice. With a 4-4 combo of electrons/electron gaps, carbon makes a strong base for anything.
The rare, huge Uranium candy has a pressurize center, and will randomly pop, due to it's relatively short half-life.
Argon doesn't combine with anything. It has a full electron-shell, and so is just a smooth jawbreaker.
All other elements are represented in the Bag 'O Atoms, though some are rarer; each with a different flavor. Atoms from the same group (noble gases anyone?) have similar tastes; one group will taste like different types of citrus, another like mints. See what you can build! Just don't drop the nitroglycerin!
Use them all and what are you left with? A Bag 'O Molecules of course!

Shirley you mean Hydrogen? |

Damn, these long chain polymers are chewy! |

NIce - I'd like to see it on the shelves. |

If you run out of atoms you aint gonna get molecules |

[csea] Hah! A big mistake I made! Thanks! Noted and corrected! |

//Use them all and what are you left with?//
A Bag O' Trace Elements of course! |

Brilliant. Encore, encore! |

<wonders if it possible to make edible magnetic candy> |
|
|
Big Bun! This may very well be the best idea for a candy that I've ever hear of. |
|
|
I would eat it periodically. |

[Ling] Well, they have those giant magnetic pills for cows... |

Would the fluorine taste like toothpaste? |

I think I would like to give my kids some Lithium Candy when I need some peace. |

There's a strange Fe about the possibility of having molecule candy... |

Astonishing, I need 10 bags. |
|

Now when the kids say they're making a Pb sandwich, it could just be an assembled mound of candy... that sits like a lead weight in the pit of their stomach. |
|
|
Good idea. Have a positron (+). |
