Purple Weenies

Would you eat purple sausage? Apparently folks in New Zealand are trying to get their hands on these.

"Purplos" is a brand of cocktail sausage targeted towards children. Billed as the world's first purple sausage, only the casing (which is edible of course), is purple.

Todd Heller, Director of the company, says he got the idea after attending a marketing seminar earlier last year that ran a case study on the success of Heinz' purple ketchup.

The meat consists of beef and mutton, with spices, and honey. Sounds pretty darn good actually. I'd eat it.
