The World's Gummiest Air Force!
So I grew up in France (audience: "Noooooo, reeeeeeeeeallyyyy???") and I ate a lot of gummi candy growing up:
gummi bears, gummi cola bottles (big ones made by Haribo), gummi worms, etc...
I still indulge now and then, usually with sour gummi worms.
So last night, I was at that place that's evil and within walking distance (no, not Walmart, the other evil place:
Ralphs!) to get some paper towels. I was cruising the candy aisle, looking for some sort of gummi salvation,
and I came across these beauties! Crikey!!
Notice there's only one US Navy plane in there: the Hornet. Everything else is USAF hardware.
(Insert usual jokes about USAF pilots being girlie men compared to USN pilots)
(Well, except maybe for SR-71 Blackbird pilots. You need balls of steel to fly that sucker!)
So that's my semi-wacky supermarket product of the month.
