ITEM #

ask for these by size

Skulls made of pure sugar are sold, given as treats for the living as well as the dead, and eaten in Mexico. However, these have been imported from Mexico as decoration, not under ideal sanitary conditions, so we do not recommend eating them. They were wrapped in Mexico, but we are not sure if they were wrapped at the bakery or later. And, yes, I was drinking the Coke as I was taking the picture, but thought you might like the comparative size.
