Get a Taste of Twilight's 'Forbidden Fruits'

Sure, the Twihards supply us have probably already purchased their very own womb, snagged some of those limited edition chocolate bars from Godiva and possibly even shelled out thirty bucks for a photo with the most famous hand model in the world. But the collectibles don't stop there, because there are still plenty of goofy tie-in product ideas rattling surrounding the brains of marketing execs to keep fans ornate until Edward and Bella are backward on the big-screen staring longingly (or blankly depending on your point of view) at each other. The latest tie-in comes from the makers of Sweethearts (aka Conversation Hearts) and go before the ridiculously astonishing name of 'Forbidden Fruits'. But these are not your mom's Sweethearts; these babies are covered in glitter and have Twilight themed quotes like 'Bite Me', 'Lamb', and 'I Trust You' written on them. Shooting might have already begun out in Vancouver for the follow-up to the vampire romance, but other than a few casting announcements, fans haven't had much to keep them ornate until New Moon's release later this fall. Well, maybe with the exception of the engaging in the odd racketeer misdemeanor or hate mail offensive. Come to think of it; compared to some of the other behaviors from legions of fans, collecting sweetmeats seems downright wholesome. But if sugar isn't your thing and you still have a penchant for sparkly vamps; don't worry, there is still plenty of merchandise on its way for the devoted connoisseur, including a panel game, umbrellas, band-aids, and my personal favorite; Edward Cullen largeness glitter.
