If your sweet tooth is missing and you much prefer the greasy salty taste of meat, you should try Bacon Gumballs.
This bacon-flavored candy comes in a small tin of 22 and satisfies those midday cravings.
While Bacon Gumballs will seem grotesque to most, I know a ton of people who will line up for a taste of this meaty goodness.
Implications - This product, although it might seem unorthodox, will undoubtedly hold real appeal to those who aren't abashed about enjoying a little savory flavor whenever possible. More than anything else, it represents a move towards catering to specific niche markets that may not be huge in the population, but which definitely contain willing, loyal customers and little competition.
