Chocolate-covered Tootsie Rolls
exist...

File this under (a) redundant (b) frightening (c)offensively unnecessary (d) gahhh

I can't help but to think of the 2nd century Roman poet, Juvenal, who spoke of bread and circuses as symbols of the decadent and unnecessary desires of the masses taking the place of substantial things. I am bringing Tootsie Rolls to this lofty contention because:

* I thought Tootsie Rolls were already supposed to be chocolate-ish. Sort of.
* Food has become yet more vulnerable to marketing whims and fancies. I am now convinced that bacon-wrapped bacon will one day exist.
* Someone thought there would be for a market for this. But why? Even scarier...is there?

Have you actually seen this bacon? Is it thin bacon wrapped in thicker bacon? Are there toothpicks holding it together or is there something savory, like cheese?

Is it applewood smoked or peppered?

Full disclosure, please.

And I've gotta tell you... I think Tootsie Rolls blow goats! Crappiest candy ever. Only thing that might be crappier is that colored, vaguely strawberry-flavored hard candy that banks leave out in glass bowls at the teller's station.

"...Tootsie rolls blow goats!" Hahahahahaaa...omg Holmsie!

Okay, the thinner bacon (mix and match flavors, as desired) would be wrapped in a thicker slice tied together by a firm, crispy bacon strap bow. And then these luscious nuggets would be simmered in a bowl of cheeoup (cheese soup)...with a sprig of parsley, naturally.
