Space Invaders Look As Tasty As They Are Dangerous
Candy is delicious. Space Invaders’ characters are great. Combine these two things, and you’ve got a sugary treat that will appeal to just about anyone with a mouth—even if they didn’t spend their childhoods plugging quarters into old arcade machines. An Etsy merchant is selling Space Invaders-inspired hard candy, and it looks good enough to eat.
For $7, you can score a bag of a dozen of the treats, which come in an assortment of six flavors. What flavors, you ask? How about key lime, pineapple, orange cream, salt water taffy, blueberry cheesecake, and strawberry lemonade? Good enough? Excellent.
There is one caveat, though—these things are for adults only. As merchant Holly Green warns, “Under no circumstances do I recommend these for children, as the sharp edges are just too dangerous.” Yikes!
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
