Don't put that nuculer stuff in your mouth!

File this one under "truth is stranger than fiction".

Pictured left is a candy called Toxic Waste Nuclear Sludge Chew Bars. Not being a patron of inconvenience stores or the sugary shit section of Walmart, Walt had never heard of it...until today.

Today Canadian Press reports that the importer -- the stuff is made in Pakistan --has issued a voluntary recall for all the "nuculer" candy bars. (Some bingo-caller [newscaster, surely! Ed.] is bound to pronounce it that way, as does Homer Simpson.)

The recall follows testing by the California Department of Public Health which indicated some black cherry-flavoured bars might contain elevated levels of lead.

No bar-related illnesses have been reported to date. Walt publishes this notice as a public service.
