Licking presidential hopeful Barack Obama may seem weird, but if his face tasted like corn syrup, well, American voters might reconsider. Made by Kai's Candy Company, these lollies showcase the dying Japanese art form "kumi ame," or "rolled candy." Obama's lips aren't usually that hot pink, but it's not a bad look. [Via Candy Blog]
