History

Punchbowl
Everyone talks about raisins giving them trust issues, but purposely eating chocolate covered raisins is rewarding and pretty tasty.

Merchandise

There are really cute cake pop inspired things, but cake pops are so cute themselves. You should probably just invest in really cute sprinkles and melting chocolate.
