In true Jersey Shore fashion, the lollipops will make their official debut at the candy retailer that is creating the madness, Sugar Factory. And on this Saturday, October 15, The Situation himself will be in Vegas to hold the crystal-studded, Italian-inspired handles for the first time.

Mike is not the first reality star to try to travel down the road to food fame. Here's a list of some celebs and the sometimes strange products they've endorsed:

1. Hulk Hogan's Microwaveable Hulkster Burgers

There really isn't more we can say. A microwaveable burger from Hulk Hogan? We'd check the expiration date, as they probably are not flying off the shelves.

2. Paris Hilton's Rich Secco

While not available in the U.S., Hilton's European fans can get a sip of this gal's classy beverage of choice: Prosecco in a can!

3. Real Housewives of New Jersey Teresa Guidice's Cookbooks

She's from Jersey, she's Italian, and she can surely cook.

4. Devotion Vodka

In addition to his bejeweled lollipop, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino also endorses this protein-rich vodka. Because why bother with a drink and dinner?

5. Kim Kardashian's Famous Vanilla Cupcake Mix

Mix the cupcake trend with the Kardashian trend and what does that get you? A kupkake with extra "k"s? No, it means a $13 box of mix plastered with Kim Kardashian's face on the packaging.

6. The Hills Audrina Partridge's Carl's Jr. Ad

Basically, put this girl in a gold bikini and it doesn't seem to matter what she's selling. In this case, it was a Carl's Jr. burgers, which she lovingly ate while wearing a skimpy bikini and lying down on the sand.



7. Bethenny' Frankel's Skinnygirl Margarita Mix

The Real Housewives sassy star maximized her profile and sold her low-cal liquor company for over $100 million (controversy over the ingredients notwithstanding).
