If it was like the gum, I'm pretty sure they'd have the gum's logo plastered across there, nice 'n big-like.

I love any excuse to show this to people. The friend with the whiteboard is still my absolute favourite part. The ridiculous tailcoat as he comes out of the limo is a close second.

Fine. That's about it.Hot Tamales
Never the biggest fan of cinnamon spice candies but I don't dislike them either.
This tastes like carbonated red Kool-AidChubby Tutti Frutti
I remember a friend from Junior High was really into these for some reason. I'm not sure why. The funny name maybe that sounds like a non-flaccid penis?
I have no idea what the flavour is. Red, I assume. Just red flavour.Fanta Big Red
Is this flavoured like the gum?
I didn't much care for it. Too cloying.Jelly Belly Berry Blue Drink Mix
I like jelly bellies but I don't think I want to drink them.
I was alright, I guess.Bubbaloo Tutti Frutti
Huh, "tutti frutti" as a flavour, is having it's week.
Again, fine but only tastes slightly different from regular chips.Ruffles KFC Original Recipe Chicken
I like the chips that taste like savoury meats but they are rarely interesting and I can't easily differentiate most of them. I can't tell the difference between "roast chicken" and "poutine". I'm sure this will be the same.
I didn't do it frozen. It was fine.Charleston Chew Chocolaty
It says to try frozen. Should I do it?
Could not taste the "cake" part.Peeps Party Cake
Decorate it how you want, it's gonna taste like marshmallows dipped in sugar to me.
Where did you get the KFC Ruffles? I haven't seen them around here at all.
Johnny Unusual
(He/Him)
Candy Depot.
Oh, and also, there were a different flavour of Oreo Straw things. Vanilla, I guess. I tried it in ice cream but it didn't work as a straw. But they worked as something to dip.

And tomorrow...
Jelly Belly Very Cherry Drink Mix
I probably wont like this much but I think I'll like it more than the berry one.
Fitz Root Beer
Haven't been a big fan of Fitz but I do have a good feeling on this one.
Pringles Honey Mustard
I do like honey mustard. Seems like it'll work.
Roll Up Tutti
It's an accurate but weird name that highlights its knock-off feel.
Mike & Ike Megamix Sour
This is going to be good.
Chubby Orange Tango
Charleston Chew Vanilla

I rather like the honey mustard Pringles, but I just kinda love mustard in general. It's so confounding to me how we produce so much of it, yet trying to get any decent amount on a burger is harder than pulling teeth around here.

A good root beer but I really don't know if it is notably better than any others.Fitz Root Beer
Haven't been a big fan of Fitz but I do have a good feeling on this one.
Decent honey-mustard flavour, but not particularly exciting.Pringles Honey Mustard
I do like honey mustard. Seems like it'll work.
As knock offs go, it's competent. But you can kind of taste it's a little off... it tastes like "fruit" in the most artificial sense and I can't even tell what kind.Roll Up Tutti
It's an accurate but weird name that highlights its knock-off feel.
This is only lightly sour but it still tastes great.Mike & Ike Megamix Sour
This is going to be good.
Chubby continues to disappoint. Again, it tastes like a carbonated Kool Aid. I kind of like those two things but somehow together I dislike it.Chubby Orange Tango
I think there's something so simple about Charleston it's easy to forget they are good. They are never going to be anyone's first go to but when they aren't TOO chewy, they are pretty delectable.Charleston Chew Vanilla
The most classic of chews.

Thursday...
Rain-Blo
Don't rainbows have seven colors?
Crunch
Do they have Crunch bars in the US? They are good but basic, just a chocolate bar with Rice Krispies inside.
Frunas Watermelon
I got a lot of them, so I will probably give them out on Halloween. But since I live in an apartment building, it'll be a little bowl in the lobby.
Keebler Sugar Wafers Chocolate
Why am I so mistrustful of sweets that freely use the word "sugar". They are just being honest.
7 Up Drink Mix
Haven't had a soda themed drink mix in a long time. Will have to by some lime Bubly for this.
Bigs Taco Supreme
Remember it's not the seeds that are flavoured, it's the shells.
Chubby Martian Magic
I don't even know what this product is anymore.
Rap Snacks Oowee Lemonade Strawberry Watermelon

Yes but this is rain-blo - something had to go in order to make room for the bubbling.
Yes. It's one of my favorites.
I guess I must be basic then...

Basic is underrated. Simplicity is beautiful. Crunch bars are awesome.

I was always partial to buncha crunch. More krispie surface area because of physics or something.
Okay, I love 7up, but this looks like it would be either completely pointless, or like making it fresh. I'm dying to find out which.7 Up Drink Mix

This is... interesting. There is natural flavour but it feels goosed with something candy-ish in sweetness. I like it but I don't love it.Rap Snacks Oowee Lemonade Strawberry Watermelon

Off-brand Starburst. Not awful but a little too chewy.Frunas Watermelon

I'm somewhere between Torzel and JBear here. Interestingly, the problem isn't the chocolate. I think the krispies are the issue.Crunch
Do they have Crunch bars in the US? They are good but basic, just a chocolate bar with Rice Krispies inside.
Surprisingly flavourful. Yes, said flavour disappeared fast but like Oowee, there was a bit of "goosing", a little something that stands out beyond regular sugar flavour.Rain-Blo

Tomorrow
KitKat Cookies n Cream
I think I'll have one and give the rest for Halloween in my apartment lobby.
Sugar Wafers Vanilla
This is going to be worse than the chocolate.
Frunas Peach
I got three more packs of these because I want to try them all, there are too many and, again, I can save some and give the rest out for Halloween.

Oooh, Cherry 7up... love the stuff from the Pepsi machine at Subway, but they haven't stocked it there in forever, and I can't find it anywhere else. =(
I'd still take Rainblo over Wrigley's Juicyfruit. Rainblo's rainbow gumballs were a nice hit of sweet before school and juicyfruit's base gum was nasty. It's also probably the one of the closest things to native dagashi in America, with their bright colored rainbow gimmick. I'd also throw Bottle Caps in that classification. (hard candies similar to Sweet Tarts or American Smarties shaped like, well, bottle caps and embossed with their soda flavors).

Mmm... the artificial sugar stuff didn't work with this drink so well for me, even in a cherry Bubly.7 Up Cherry Drink Mix

Shockingly good pretzels. I'm not a pretzel guy but the quality of the... lacquer? Whatever you call pretzel coating. That stuff was great. That said, it didn't taste like "hot sauce" so much as a pretzel that is also mildly spicy.Pop Daddy Pretzels Hot Sauce

For Saturday...
Frunas Strawberry
I gave these away in a bowl in my apartment building for Halloween this weekend and these things disappeared shockingly fast. I think people just like getting free stuff. I get it.
Airheads Blue Raspberry Gum
I'm so tired of blue raspberry that from now on every time I see one I'm posting one sentence from the wikipedia page for blue raspberry.
Payday
I don't remember if I had this one because they aren't common to this part of Canada (easily found in specialty stores but not around in gas stations and convenience stories). But it seems nice and simple.
Reese's Franken-Cup
I've had this before and... it's just like a regular one with a food coloured bottom. Not a complaint.
Chocolate studded with candy corn
I feel like there's a candy corn lobby like the corn lobby to get candy corn into all our foods.
Bigs Tangy Bar-B-Q Sunflower Seeds
I thought I had this but I don't.
Rap Snacks Oowee Lemonade Pineapple Mango
I always feel like when you get to three fruit flavours you should ome up with a bullshit name like "Tropical Tango" rather than just a list of fruit flavours.
Skittles Drink Mix
I have four different flavours to review in one box.
Hot Chocolate Bomb
I feel like this would be better if this was a cooler Halloween but it's been around 19 degrees on most days.

I mean, I assume they’re mostly made of corn syrup, so it’s basically the same lobby.
Well depending on the wind and humidity, 66F can feel a smidge nippy.
Ooh, I like Paydays. But yeah, they're a rarity around here.

This is the least interesting Frunas. End of statement.Frunas Strawberry

This one is weird. The "micro-candies" studded in the middle means it falls into three pieces in your mouth. I know they are going to come together as gum goo anyway, but still, wierd. Not bad. I suspect I will like the other flavours better.Airheads Blue Raspberry Gum
I'm so tired of blue raspberry that from now on every time I see one I'm posting one sentence from the wikipedia page for blue raspberry.
I really liked this. I didn't realize it ISN'T a chocolate bar, it's a bar of caramel surrounded by salted peanuts. It really does work as a nice, simple flavour. What weirds me out is the name. Payday isn't a bad name for a bar, but I just mean the colours and the flavours are pure... baseball. I feel like this needs to be a baseball-themed bar. Call it "Home Run" or "Grand Slam" or "Good Fielding". But a very decent bar.Payday

Not very good. It feels like somehow the candy corn is less like candy corn than usual and the chocolate quality isn't that great.Chocolate studded with candy corn
I feel like there's a candy corn lobby like the corn lobby to get candy corn into all our foods.
I didn't care for this one. But in general, BBQ sauce flavoured things that aren't meat usually doesn't do a lot for me.Bigs Tangy Bar-B-Q Sunflower Seeds

None are actually that bad but they are still less interesting to me than the Jolly Rancher flavoured drinks.Skittles Drink Mix

Oh, this actually worked. Usually I fuck these up (I think in part due to the nature of using almond milk) but this turned out OK.Hot Chocolate Bomb
