Ernie and the Pumpkin Seed Candy Salesman (usually shortened to Ernie and the Candy Salesman) is a sketch that originally aired during Sesame Street episode 0264 (during Season 2) on May 13, 1971 (exactly a day after the Tales from Muppetland special "The Frog Prince" premiered).[1]

In this sketch, a candy salesman comes up to Ernie and sells him some pumpkin seed candy. Ernie tells the salesman that he doesn't really like pumpkin seed candy, perhaps because it is icky. He keeps selling him the sizes of pumpkin seed candy until he sells him the tiniest piece of pumpkin seed candy that he even can't see it as if it was invisible. It almost looks like Ernie is looking at the camera in a closeup shot of the tiniest piece of pumpkin seed candy.

Availability

Ernie and the Pumpkin Seed Candy Salesman was known to have aired two episodes on "Sesame Street" (#264 and #301) during 1971. Other airings of the segment, especially in foreign countries, remain unidentified, other than Folge 2033 of Sesamstraße.[2]

The clip was once posted in German around 2008 but was taken down in mid 2014. The skit was also found in a Sesame Street compilation from 2015, but this video was also taken down off of YouTube around mid 2017. Fans who claimed to have saved the clip had lost it from hard drive crashes or trashing their old videotapes that had it on there.

On August 26, 2017, PumpkinJFriend finally uploaded an English version of the clip to YouTube. The clip was from a Sesame Street compilation video judging by a sesamestreet.org watermark on the bottom right corner of the screen. The video is also uploaded on a Google Drive.[3]
