Okay, this is the dream.  And we were just having this discussion the other day.  Last week on "Dishin' with Debbie", Deb did "April Fool's Onion Rings."  One of the ingredients?  Laffy Taffy.

As we're dieting, we didn't touch the bag, but our son...it was like Halloween.  Anyway, we were talking about what flavor of Laffy Taffy was best.  It was a family consensus:  banana.

Imagine a world where you can purchase a cereal that is nothing but Crunchberries, where you can purchase bags of just Lucky Charms Marshamallows, and where you can get a bag of JUST banana Laffy Taffy.

Well...

Banana-only bags are coming to store shelves. Comic and actor Joel McHale got this whole thing started on April Fool's Day when he posted on Instagram that he couldn't find the flavor in his bags of Laffy Taffy.

Eventually, Joel's wishes came true and now banana-flavored bags of Laffy Taffy are available nationwide for a limited time.  As you can see.
