Looks like maybe some Snuggie packaging is in there too. Here's an idea for a fun game -- find out how many pieces of Honey Boo Boo garbage you have in your kitchen cabinet right now, and then feel bad accordingly. Thanks, art!

The British art student sculpted humongous approximations of those and other sweets for an exhibition currently showing at the University of Wolverhampton.
