How Has Nobody Thought Of This Before?

If you’ve ever wondered, “why isn’t there a tool that makes unwrapping candy canes easier?” Well wonder NO MORE! Brach’s (the candy people) is releasing a limited-edition “candy cane opener.” They’re going on sale next Monday (11/17), exclusively at TheCaneOpener.com. It looks a little like a plastic pocket lighter, and the idea is that you stick the long end in, and it’s able to cut the wrapper open for you. It’s a little unclear whether you twist it like a handheld pencil-sharpener, or if there’s a button or something. Either way, they do say it’s “fast and mess-free.” The opener also doubles as a Christmas tree ornament, so it’ll be on-hand when you get a craving. Each one sells for $5.00, and they even come with a box of Brach’s candy canes.
