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.

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, likely circa 2009, and lasted on YouTube for awhile before being removed in 2014. An English version of the skit was commercially released for the first time in a Sesame Street compilation on Sesame Street's official YT channel in 2015, but that compilation had since been taken down since May 2017 and the clip itself remained unavailable to the public throughout the summer until PumpkinJFriend had recently contacted someone (who used to work for Sesame Workshop) if they have a copy.
A week later, PumpkinJFriend had finally reuploaded the video for the sketch, in English, on YouTube on August 26, 2017. Judging by a sesamestreet.org watermark on the bottom right corner of the screen, it is clear that the clip derives from that same Sesame Street compilation that was once posted on Sesame Street's official YT channel.
The video is also uploaded on Google Drive.[3]
