Send your camper an “I don’t care” package

Are the kids spending a few weeks away at overnight camp? If so, you’re probably thinking about sending out one of those “boring” care packages that include all sorts of healthy treats that seem cool — but in reality are the same boring stuff everyone receives. What if you could send a really cool package that made your child the envy of the camp? I’m talking about a care package that includes: lightning bug candy (glows when you pick it up with special tweezers), lollipop disguised as a toasted marshmallow on a stick, gummy bacon, sour flush candy (toilet bowl container). Just the thing to keep their little minds off the poison ivy creeping up their leg!
The “I don’t care package” costs $ 24.99 and includes all the stuff shown below:
Here’s a peek at some of the stuff included in the “care” package. You’re kids will find it hilarious (trust me – the back seat of my car is littered with this stuff which my kids have bought at their day camp store).
Lightning bug candy – “lights up” when you pick up the candy with the special tweezers. The secret is that the light is hidden in the tip of the tweezers.
Toasted Marshmallow Lollipop – looks like a marshmallow on a twig – but is really a marshmallow flavored lollipop.
Multi-flavored jelly beans – the trick to these beans is that they seem like regular jelly beans – only some have “trick flavors” – skunk spray, pencil shavings, rotten egg, toothpaste, moldy cheese, baby wipes, black pepper.
Hobo Beans – how about some maple flavored jelly beans – in a baked beans can?
Human Dog Food – cleverly disguised as Rover’s meal – this bowl actually contains a serving of crunchy cookies – topped off with a candy bone.
Uncle Oinker’s Gummy Bacon – America’s favorite smoked-meat product is now available in special gummy strips. Nope , this doesn’t taste like bacon (the flavor is strawberry) but your camper will get a thrill out it just the same. There are four pieces packaged to look exactly like bacon.
Sour Flush Candy – kids (and adults) of all ages love toilet humor – so how about powdered candy stored inside a plastic toilet bowl. Naturally there’s a candy “plunger” that you tip into your “toilet” to remove the powder.
Worms and Dirt – Let the kids dig inside this treat which includes gummi works buried inside some crushed chocolate cookies “dirt”.
This is a fun (unique) package that will make your kids the talk of their camp. If you have two (or more campers) the site sells a slightly different care package which includes quirky stuff like Twinkie flavored lip balm, Bacon & Egg bandages and a motorized marshmallow turner.
