Lord of the Rings Candies!! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Blue Elf · 01-22-2003, 11:43 PM

Hello, I am opening a chain shoppe in Middle-Earth selling candies, and I would very much like candy ideas, and perhaps location ideas.

The only candy I have so far is my famous, unsticky bubble gum called Saru-gum of Many Colors (and flavors) which you might find spread out throughout Middle-Earth in candy machines.

Unfortanetly, with all the time it took developing Saru-gum, I have not had the time to come up with other candies, and I would very much appreciate other ideas.

If you have an idea, feel free to write to me (I live with Smeagol/Gollum in the Misty Mountains, so get his address to contact me).

-A certain Blue Elf
Head of ...a candy shoppe...

P.S. I also need a name for my candy shoppe, so feel free to help me out

Meela · 01-23-2003, 04:34 PM

great idea! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] i have seen on saleFruits Of The Shire, which are basically jelly sweets. they come in pineapple One Rings, raspberry Eyes Of Sauron, Blueberry Stings, and Lime Hobbit Leafs. stick em in ure shop [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

other ideas... u sell weed? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] chocolate weed...

Meela · 01-23-2003, 04:35 PM

oh, and lollipops that are strawberry (or whatever) palantirs

Blue Elf · 01-23-2003, 04:47 PM

Ooh, yum!!

Hmm, why shouldn't we have chocolate pipe weed? Or at least........wait, have it!!

Choco-weed of the Shire. A pipe made of chocolate (comes in white, milk, dark, and sugarfree chocolate) and multi colored sprinkles on the inside for the weed.

dragoneyes · 01-23-2003, 04:56 PM

Eye of Sauron gobstoppers,
The one Polo
darn, can't think of any more, I though I could come up with more than that!

Blue Elf · 01-23-2003, 05:12 PM

Eye of Sauron gobstoppers...heh, sounds like a jawbreaker with Sauron's eye imprinted on it. Yummy. See, then we could all just eat Sauron, and the whole One Ring problem would be solved!!

Arkenstone Candy (instead of rock candy, and it should be very pretty, and shiny, and te wrapped should have a picture of Smaug on it, guarding it)

Morai · 01-23-2003, 05:52 PM

Mmm, LOTR candies, let's see:
1) The One Ring Pop

Oh darn, that's all I can think of...for now.

Gorwingel · 01-24-2003, 07:25 PM

Barrow Downs Mounds, A chocolate bar with mounds shaped like the mounds in the barrow downs.

FarathrimMaiden · 01-24-2003, 08:30 PM

hmm...well you could make cram and lembas right? i dont know what you would want it to look like, its possible it could be fudge or something, just for the sake of making it into something candyish rather than baked good.

Smaug's Treasure - it could just be little gummies shaped like jewels

maybe you could sell kingsfoil? it would jusst be really good candy

Gollum's fish - rather than swedish fish

Blue Elf · 01-24-2003, 09:35 PM

Oh wow, those are all such good ideas!! Let's just pretend I came up with those [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] j/k!!

Here's a few not-so-good ones...

-Gummy mushrooms (for the hobbits, of course)

-Those candy necklaces with either a ring or an evenstar on them

Okay, I think I liked everyone else's ideas bettetr

Morai · 01-25-2003, 02:43 PM

Don't forget chocolate connies! (in other words, chocolate bunnies)
Also there's always Green Dragon gum! (shaped like either like a dragon or like one of Gandalf's fireworks, with a sour taste)

Blue Elf · 01-25-2003, 02:47 PM

Chocolate coonies!! Do they come raw? (I'm in a Gollumish mood...)

Oh, if we have Green Dragon Inn, then we simply cannot forget Prancing Pony candies...canned mints saying "The Ringbearer was here" and the mints being pony shaped.

Meela · 01-25-2003, 02:49 PM

gingerbread hobbits

Blue Elf · 01-25-2003, 02:56 PM

**bites the head off a gingerbread hobbit**

And **chew** ale **chew** flavored lollipops. (instead of root beer candies...)

Morai · 01-26-2003, 05:17 PM

Better yet, around Easter, you could put them [the coonies] in a stew pot. Then add some chocolate "chips" then wrap it like an Easter basket. I don't know what you'd do for grass though....

Hmm, raw chocolate. I guess we could have a "Gollum version" instead of "those nasty chipsss" we could "have some nicesssss fish"

GaladrieloftheOlden · 03-03-2003, 08:34 PM

In a pranky mood? Sell medicine coveres in candy. Call it athelas.

Sorry, that was lame. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

[ March 03, 2003: Message edited by: GaladrieloftheOlden ]

Airehiriel · 03-03-2003, 08:44 PM

You could have chocolate One Rings wrapped in gold foil with the fire letters emblazened on it.

Or little chocolate Stings.

Or little chocolate Ring Wraiths.

Or little chocola...oh, sorry, am I exposing my chocolate obsession here?

Why not a simple name like Middle Earth Candies? Or would we be getting into copyright infringement here?

Horse-Maiden of the Shire · 03-03-2003, 09:08 PM

For the name of your shoppe, how about instead of the Land of Everlasting Life (is that how it goes? sorry im horrid) you could have the Land of Everlasting Sweets.

Galadrie1 · 03-03-2003, 09:34 PM

My friend and I were joking around the other day, saying that the way they pronounce "Sauron" in the movie makes it sound like "Sour-ons, the new hard candy that're so sour, you won't know what hit you!" Yeah, that's pretty lame.... Ah well. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

EDIT: Happy 600th post to me! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[ March 03, 2003: Message edited by: Galadrie1 ]

Blue Elf · 03-03-2003, 10:41 PM

I like Sour-ons. They should be in "feiry Red Sour Apple" Flavor.

And I also like the shoppe name!!

Sadbh · 03-04-2003, 01:51 AM

Hmmm...

How bout, chocolate Wonder-Palantirs? 'Oh I wonder, wonder what's in a palantir?' Instead of candy disney characters, they could have eye of Sauron gumballs. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Or, as long as I'm on the palantir mode, how about fortune palantirs? Just like fortune cookies, except the messages aren't inspirational and cause you to betray your friends and become a paranoid introvert. Well maybe that wouldn't work out so good...

[img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

03-04-2003, 08:33 AM

Sounds like a good idea [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Faenaduial · 03-04-2003, 12:34 PM

How about chocolate barrels and when you break them open there are candy pez dwarves inside.

Galadrie1 · 03-04-2003, 04:15 PM

Ah, LotR Pez dispensers! That would be so awesome!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Pennthangeil · 03-04-2003, 07:52 PM

I like the ring pop
Its a loli without a stick
A ring of power you can lick

Pop-Lembas

A 3 pound replica of Orthanc with chocolate and creme inside. Can also be done with Mt Doom

Blue Elf · 03-04-2003, 08:26 PM

Ooooh!! I want a Gollum Pez-dispenser!! And a Nazgul too!!

And I want a Wonder-Palantir. They should come with little stickers of different landscapes of Middle-Earth or cheap plastic Rings...

Silmarien · 03-05-2003, 09:05 PM

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
You could have tiny hobbits with the different facial expressions (like the frowning hobbit-woman after Gandalf lets off the fire works).
And those chocolate egg things with put together models of the fellowship and different races of Middle Earth.

Faenaduial · 03-05-2003, 09:15 PM

How about rock candy trolls.

Arvedui III · 03-06-2003, 11:35 AM

Chocolate Hobbits. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

the real nazgul · 03-06-2003, 12:57 PM

How about this; a legolas (plastic) toy that when you pull a little string on his back, he fires a chocolate arrow from his bow. It comes free with little orc cardboard stand-ups of orcs to improve your aim. Big hit, no doubt! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
