3 new flavors of candy canes are available, here in late 2020. The first flavor is Ketchup; the second is Pho; and the 3rd is Shiitake Mushroom. This article debuted at the first of the month, but just hit my email inbox today ... I thought I'd share it anyway. 
Candy creators don't shy away from trying crazy concoctions. Turkey Dinner candy corn is a thing now, as is a tropical fruit-flavored licorice Lasso of Truth. Chocolate toilet paper was a hit at the start of Covid-19 quarantine, when we couldn't find toilet paper but we still could find some humor in the whole situation. But each year, true candy aficionados know that the pinnacle of weird is likely to come from Archie McPhee and their newest candy cane flavors.
"The best candy cane to eat with French fries," says the ketchup candy cane's description. Because ketchup is red, they didn't have to venture far on the color scheme, but the site promises the red-and-white striped candy pieces really do taste like "sweet, tomatoey ketchup." A box of six is about $6, which is a bargain price for the many looks of confusion and concern you're bound to see on the faces of your family members when they break one open Christmas morning.
As the article states:

It's not clear where Archie McPhee gets its candy cane inspiration, but certainly there are a multitude of flavors for anyone who professes to love the hook-shaped sweet in all its forms. But will a red-and-white ketchup candy cane replace the classic peppermint one, and can you convince your friends and family to pho-get about the other gifts you could have given them when they open a box of pho candy canes? Perhaps. It's 2020 after all, and honestly, mushroom-flavored candy canes don't seem all that weird anymore.
