I was shopping at my beloved IKEA the other day and came across a package of candy that I just had to have, because it sounded like something one might be able to buy at Honeydukes. When I opened the bag, however, I was disappointed. The label had said "Jellied ____s", but what lurked inside were odd, misshapen gummy thingies that bore no resemblance to the creature I was expecting to eat. (The one bonus is that they also featured what the children called "foreign-tasting" fruit flavors, so more for me.)
Take a look at the lurid orange object in the foreground and tell me what kind of animal/reptile/fish/bird
you think it is.

It's kinda hard to tell from a photo, 'cause I can't rotate it, but - is is a kookaburra, on its side? Or a platypus? Or a beaver? Ooh, it could be a sugar glider with its wing flap-y things tucked in. Or maybe it's a possum...

Though on reflection, 'Jelly Beavers' sounds more than a little obscene.

So a revised guess is jellied slug.
