Fried egg candy

This candy made me wonder so many things. Why is it shaped like a fried egg? Is it supposed to taste like an egg? Why would anybody buy this?

For Jason, I guess lining up for two hours for an oil change led to him losing his better judgement at the nearby 7-11. He was pretty excited about his plastic baggie of nickel candy.

I tried this fried egg. The white part feels and tastes like styrofoam. The yolk is slightly better with a hint of sweetness to the gelatinous disgustingness.
