Why isn’t there a tool that makes unwrapping candy canes easier? Maybe it’s because most people only eat ONE, every few years. But what about if you eat them daily, year-round? (???)
Brach’s has created a limited-edition “candy cane opener.” It looks a little like a plastic pocket lighter, and the idea is that you stick the long end in, and it’s able to cut the wrapper open for you.
It’s a little unclear whether you twist it like a handheld pencil-sharpener, or if there’s a button or something. Either way, they do say it’s “fast and mess-free.”
The opener also doubles as a Christmas tree ornament. So you can have it hanging next to your candy canes, and it’ll be on-hand when you get a craving.
If you want one, they’re going on sale NEXT Monday, November 17th, at 7:00 P.M. Eastern, exclusively at TheCaneOpener.com. Each one sells for $5.00, and they even come with a box of Brach’s candy canes.
(Here’s a local news report on the opener.)
