License to Chill

My good friend The Vegetable Assassin knows exactly what turns me on: sucking on things that look like Daniel Craig. She generously sent me this photo of Del Monte's new Bondsicle:

via theFrisky.com: "Food company Del Monte asked more than 1,000 British women to vote on which celebrity they think is the coolest and worthy of being stuck on a stick. Daniel Craig got the most votes, and from today until June 7, limited edition Daniel Craig-shaped popsicles are being sold in England. It’s a shame they aren’t available on this side of the pond, because lord knows we’d like to put Daniel Craig in our mouths."

I couldn't agree more, although I think they could have done a better job on creating the mold for this product, because the likeness is rather hideous. And what the hell is happnin' down below there, Del Monte? Looks like you stuffed the best part(s) into a fern planter and thought "oh, let's be clever and make it look like pockets!" FAIL!

But all creative critiquing aside, I certainly wouldn't protest if any of my British readers were to pack a dozen of these charmers into some dry ice and rush ship them to the Kathaus.

I think the lower-half ones are sold in a different package and only at adult book stores.

lol Some Guy!!

As a Daniel Craig fan myself, might I say those look de-lick-able.

That's awesome. Shame I'm not going back to England until the 16th, I'd definitely have to try one (just to say I had).

Uh-huh I kind of thought you girls were into this sort of sordid thing.

PS - doesn't the pose of the mold kind of look like Han Solo getting frozen in carbonite(tm)? Maybe it's the color, I don't know.

It looks like he's got a frozen bulge down below. I had no idea this was even going on. I wonder if at some point they'll offer the molds for sale so you can make your own James Bond popsickles?

M-m-my n-n-n-name is B-B-B-Bond, J-J-James B-B-Bond.

Their marketing team missed out on a huge opportunity. Instead of a stick it should be a huge penis.

Do I have to come up with ALL the great ideas?

I bet he, I mean it, tastes delicious.

They made a good job of his bod but the face looks like he just got in an altercation with Mike Tyson! Plus I like to think his hands are "busy".

BeckEye said...

Ick. I still don't get the Daniel Craig love.

Sean Wraight said...

I wouldn't even know where to start to eat the thing. Is there proper etiquette for eating such anthropomorphic fare? And is just me or does he look a lot like Burgess Meredith?

His face looks like a dying old woman.

At least he's sporting quite the wood. Get it? Wood? BECAUSE IT'S MADE OF WOOD?
