Poo-lar Bear Candy and Stupid.com's 'Stupidest Holiday Gifts'

An online clearing house for the things that are truly bizarre and weird, the website known as Stupid.Com has named the "Poo-lar Bear" one of the "Stupidest Holiday Gifts" of this gift-giving season. In addition to ranking the gifts that they consider dumb, the website also offers these items for sale if you're inclined to buy them.

The Poo-lar Bear is a Candy Dispenser that Actually Poops

It seems that Candy Crate, distributors of the Poo-lar Bear, have taken the book "Everybody Poops" to heart. When you press down on the back end of this attractive toy polar bear, he rewards you with a dark little pellet that looks suspiciously like poop. Fortunately, Poo-lar Bear droppings are actually butterscotch and cola flavored jelly beans. If real animals dropped flavored jelly beans instead of the smellier alternative, pet owners would have no problem curbing their dogs.

The Poo-lar Bear is One of Many Holiday Toys That Poop

Stupid.Com also lists other toys that poop, including toy reindeer, sheep and penguins. Somebody had to come up with the idea for these toys, so how come I missed that booth on career day?

Hidden Dangers Deep Within the Bowels of the Poo-lar Bear?

On one hand, the Poo-lar Bear is good for a few laughs if you are buying presents for grade school children or adults who tend to get really drunk on Christmas Eve and find everything funny. Even the most cynical Scrooge is going to laugh at a toy polar bear that drops a load when you touch his back end.

Since the Poo-lar bear droppings are edible candy, will young children think that their own bowel movements taste like jelly beans and decide to sample them? Worse yet, will they start looking at the cat's litter box like it's a candy dish?

Poo-lar Bear is a Good Stocking Stuffer

At $5.95, the Poo-lar Bear is priced to, uh, move. A good stocking stuffer or the perfect Secret Santa gift for that co-worker you don't like, it comes with a package of candy and is refillable once Poo-lar Bear has finished doing his messy business.
