Here is another idea I actully tried to produce for a
'Hippie Festival' that I was planning to be a vendor at.
I discovered a 'gag gift' company that made miniature
rubber human tongues ( all puns unavoidable). These
'tongues' would expand to the actual real size when placed
in water for 30
minutes .
Voila! Birth of an idea.........I was going to sell 'tongue'
shaped stuff. The Tongue-cicle was a natural. Imagine
a pink colored frozen tongue-on-a-stick! Imagine people
walking around all over the festival grounds with pink, frozen,
tongues sticking in and out of their mouths.
It blows my mind just recalling it..................
Let it rip! Tongue (hard candy) pops, the afore mentioned
Tongue-cicle, rubber tongues, miniature expando-
tongues, 'gummy' tongues (mould-cast candy). Life size rubber
tongues (cast from a simple plaster mould).
I was going to have mason jars filled with water lining the
display booth area. Each with a mini-expando tongue in
various stages of swelling. "Buy 'em tiny or fully swollon",
was my thinking. I could yell " get some tongue--HERE!"
"I want my Tongues, in your mouth"! and so on........
Outcome: Too big an idea to accomplish, in too little time.
Gift wholeseller couldn't ship the tiny tongues
in time. "The logistics had me licked!"
Plus I was informed that I would have to get a special food
handlers permit to sell frozen treats to people. Alas......
perhaps a future project.
