The story · 1991

The story of Cranky Sheep Tub

Grumble the Sheep was furious that someone sheared his wool and turned it into candy, and that joke was the entire brand. The tub was packed with blue and pink cotton candy that shrank into sugar the second it touched your tongue. Kids ate it at the fair and in the backseat, leaving sticky blue fingerprints on every car window.

Fun fact

Squishing a handful into a tiny hard ball was called making a sheep pebble, and it was weirdly delicious.
