Back in July of last summer (2012), I was at a grocery store in Madison, WI called "Piggly Wiggly". In the checkout line, I saw something that caught my eye, and I immediately purchased:
6932/[/IMG]
It is a children's juice treat, like a Kool-Aid Burster or whatever they're called. You click the tip off, and suck the juice out. The snack is flexible in 3 sections, and originally it had a paper sleeve over the shaft I mean body, that had more details about the product. I don't know what happened to that paper sleeve, and there are no markings anywhere on the bottle/snake body.
THE CHALLENGE:
I want to buy these for all my friends and family for Xmas. Unfortunately, I cannot find them at the store anymore, and after searching a bit on the internet, I can't find any trace of them. Test your searching skills. Dominate your competition. Win $5 from me. Find me some links where I can order more.

I've seen pregnant black republicans slurping out of those at Nascar races.

You're just asking to have this thread hijacked aren't you?
Man, when I read the title and saw the picture, I was like you honestly can't find one of those? There's lots of adult shops with those.
Then of course I read the actual post and had to wonder who designs these things?!?

I don't know but I really want to buy a CASE of them. Best xmas gifts ever. Please help me find them. I will pay $10 for anybody finding a link. I already called the grocery store, so don't bother trying that.

No dice... seriously there was a giant box of them at every aisle. How does the internet ignore their existence?

It would probably be easy to find them if we knew what they were called. Even as a generic item. Searching for things like "plastic juice snake" just gets pages from the Urban Dictionary for some reason.

Could you get a hold of the store you got them from and email the pic to find out what they were called if not which wholesaler sold them?

It looks like it could be a type of ice pop.

Nope, the tip breaks off like a Kool Aid Burster. It's deifnitely meant to be consumed while in a liquid state.

Can anyone from Piggly-Wiggly's help? Which one did you visit? Some candies are regional, so all the stores won't carry it.

Contact the store... as a retail slave, I would kind of enjoy tracking something like this down... a little bit of a story would be good to include when you talk to them

Yeah, tell them its a dying child's last wish. But use an anonymous email account and a burner phone.
