Brach's has created a limited-edition "candy cane opener."  It looks a little like a plastic pocket lighter . . . and the idea is that you stick the long end in, and it's able to cut the wrapper open for you. And they are on sale NOW!

It's a little unclear whether you twist it like a handheld pencil-sharpener, or if there's a button or something.  Either way, they do say it's "fast and mess-free." The opener also doubles as a Christmas tree ornament.  So you can have it hanging next to your candy canes, and it'll be on-hand when you get a craving.

If you want one, they're on sale exclusively at TheCaneOpener.com.  Each one sells for $5.00, and they even come with a box of Brach's candy canes. Seems like a cool idea and worth the $5 investment.
