Clam Candy Canes - Everyone Needs Clamdy Canes - One shell of a candy

We had to buy a prank gift for a party. These were the hit! People couldn't keep them in their mouth for more than a minute. They tasted disgusting. Accomplished exactly what we needed.

We bought these as a solution to our kids raiding the Christmas tree for candy, after they flipped the tree and broke a whole string of lights trying to get to the candy canes. We haven't put them up yet, but I did bring one into work. When we broke a piece off for a coworker to try, we immediately got the smell of wet cat food. My supervisor was the only one who tried it, and he now suffers from clam flavoring PTSD.2022 ETA: We we’re talking about this recently, and he informed me this is the first year since the “clamdy cane incident” that he’s been able to smell or eat clam chowder without becoming violently ill from the memory of the candy cane. Coincidentally, my children also feel the same way.

Product arrived promptly and in perfect condition so that's a plus. The candy canes themselves smelled like clam chowder and taste like breaded clams. But sweet and sugary. Imagine eating clam chowder after eating a Krispy Kreme and that's the experience. It's a bit confusing to the palate but actually pretty decent. It's not the best candy ever and I won't be obsessively buying them but I think I will buy them again. Never thought I'd unironically enjoy clam flavored candy.

If you’re looking to get something for someone on your naughty list, then these are your best bet!These taste like what I would imagine a heavily used prostitute who hasn’t showered in several days would taste like.Not enjoyable to eat, but plenty enjoyable to watch someone else try and eat.

These things are absolutely nasty! But that's a good thing.If you're looking at clam candy canes, you can't be genuinely expecting them to be good. They're gross novelty candy that you want to pass around at a party and for that, they're perfect. My friends hated them and we had a blast!

I love seafood. Especially shellfish. Raw clams, raw oysters, mussels, steamers, clam chowder, etc. I live in Boston, so what do you expect? Once every other month I would go to the Union Oyster House in Boston for a nice clam dinner - whole bellies. This year has been exceptionally harsh, not just on my taste buds, but on the fact that we really can't go anywhere. So I decided to give these a shot, more out of curiosity than anything. They're not that bad, actually! I can't see myself munching on them like I would the peppermint or spearmint ones, but they definitely satisfy my craving for the great dishes I used to order. Before the dark times. Before the COVID.

They are wonderfully awful. My 6yo son begged me for one. I finally caved and handed one over. He stuck it right in his mouth. A few seconds later he slowly withdrew it and said “I think I made a poor decision.” Yep really gross! Yet, entertaining...

I bought one package of every novelty flavor of candy cane Amazon had to offer. They were meant to be gag gifts for my friends and family, and man alive do they put an emphasis on gag. I gifted my brother with Bacon, Coal, Mac & Cheese, and Pizza.I taste tested this one, Lobster, Ham, and Coal. I still have, and have yet to try, Pizza, Mac & Cheese, and Dill Pickle. I will tell you of my experience with this particular clamdy cane, and then I will tell you what to actually do with them. Because they have a purpose, oh yes, but it is not as a gag gift - because you will make someone gag or worse.These are the candy canes that end friendships and relationships. I mean, if you wanted to push for a divorce, this might do the trick. If you've even looking for a way to burn that bridge, look no further. This was the only flavor that stayed in my mouth mere seconds. As I established in my lobster review, I don't eat seafood to begin with, so why I thought to try the seafood candy canes beats even me. Call it a Saturnalia miracle, call it foolishness. I tried it. I was wrong to have tried it. I should have made someone else try it. I learned my lesson (it was the last of the four I tried, so I learned the lesson slowly).This is the only one that isn't sweet. It's a cane of salt. Seriously, we now know what happened to Lot's wife. Archie McPhee found the pillar of salt and turned it into these "clamdy" canes.Now for a true story. I have a friend who lives with multiple roommates. These roommates considered the plague a joke and blatantly defied quarantine rules. So, for Christmas, I sent my friend all of the Archie McPhee candy canes: ham, clam, lobster, coal, bacon, pizza, dill pickle, shiitake mushroom, and mac & cheese. My friend "gifted" her covidiots with those candy canes. These are not gag gifts, these are punishments.Burn bridges, punish the unworthy, break up with the jerk. These are powerful canes, and with power comes responsibility. If you're not willing to eat one yourself you have no right to force it another. Yes, they are that bad. But there are a lot of deserving people out there who should eat these, give them what they deserve. Make them gag wit remorse.
