Not bad, I guess but nothing that really stuck. Neither "haha ew" or "wow, delicious".Chocolate Bacon Pop
This feels like peak 2009.
It's still cashews.Mondoux Cashews
It's cashews.
This is really appropriate because the second the flavour goes away it tastes like licking a sidewalk. It's... REALLY gross. And like some gum I've had, it somehow fails sometimes to get a gummy consistency and is more like sticky bitter ooze.Sidewalk Chalk Bubble Gum
For various hygienic reasons, this seems like a bad idea.
This was decent but not one of the best FantasFanta Saveur Exotique
Back on the Fanta train.
The potato skins are among the better Fridays offerings in snack form. I'd definitely buy them again if they were just sitting on store shelves.TGIFriday's Potato Skins Bacon & Cheddar
And the TGIFriday's train.
Yeah, it's a bit fakey. Not bad but I would prefer real chocolate.Hershey's Chocolate Hazelnut
Note "flavoured candy".
Oh, this one is really good. I forgot that Jolly Rancher drink mix was so good. HIGH praise for this oneJolly Rancher Watermelon Drink Mix
I remember these being my favourite drink mix.
This.. was real chocolate, I think, but for some reason, I did not enjoy eating it. Not even awful but something was off.Hershey's Kisses (big)
But just a little big.
Wait, there are other flavors? I only ever saw the one.TGIFriday's Potato Skins Jalapeno Cheddar
I liked the other two flavours I had, so this'll probably work.
I had something like those recently that was margarita flavored, it was actually quite good.Kopper's Chocolate Sparkling Prosecco Cordials
I'm interested...
Oh, I don't think I noticed -- I guess I just assumed they were the one and only flavor I've ever seen, bacon & cheddar.
OKish. They worked well for my gelato sandwichesUncle Al's Oatmeal Cookies
There was a special on baked goods so I decided to get some...
I'm pretty sure this was Chips Ahoy. Very much tasted of that..Chips Ahoy maybe?
I cannot tell if this is a special flavour or just... Chips Ahoy with Japanese packaging.
Yeah, Bubble Yum is a good brand. Doesn't turn bitter, flavour stays a good while and even when it is got, it's not a chore to chew.Bubble Yum Cotton Candy
Last time I had Bubble Yum, I really liked it. Hoping for a repeat even if cotton candy is not that interesting of a flavour to me.
Not good. Pepsi with a slight extra caramel taste, which doesn't work for me.Pepsi Peep-flavor
Look, I genuinely do like peeps but are peep flavoured things that interesting to anyone? It's just very sweet yet mild and texture is part of the interesting thing with peeps.
These are interesting but I don't think I enjoyed them. A dark chocolate with pretend gold leaf on the outside and some non-alcoholic cordial inside. Made for a unique sensation but I didn't love them.Kopper's Chocolate Sparkling Prosecco Cordials
I'm interested...
These are pretty good, though. Just cookies n cream in "drop" form.Hershey's Cookies and Cream Drops
I do like the cookies and cream bars so this'll probably be fine.
Good but really I find all of these skins taste pretty close to the same.TGIFriday's Potato Skins Jalapeno Cheddar
I liked the other two flavours I had, so this'll probably work.
Very good but I don't taste the Jolly Rancher of it. But will be good to revisit in the summer.Jolly Rancher Watermelon Lemonade drink mix
Ooh, I'm interested.
I think I overwatered it and it was too sour and mild. Maybe I'll buy again and use less water.Kool-Aid Strawberry Kiwi
A very 90s flavour! At least, to me.
They taste uninspired. Not bad but not great.Uncle Al's Iced Oatmeal Cookies
There's something aesthetically pleasing about the words "iced oatmeal cookies". But the actual truth is they look a little uninspired. But I'm open to being convinced otherwise.
SameUncle Al's Coconut Maroon Cookies
This is a little less interesting. I like coconut maroon but crunchy cookies? I like 'em soft.
Good but make sure it's fizzed.Canada Dry Drink Mix
This'll be interesting. I actually really like ginger ale but I need to mix it with something bubbly or it will taste like flat ginger ale, which is among the worst drinks to have flat.
Holy shit, this asks for a fucking cup of sugar. I used less than a quarter of sweetener and it was pretty good.Kool-Aid Pineapple
So I figured out why my last Kool-Aid tasted weird. Turns out you need to add sugar. I hadn't made Kool-Aid in forever so I just treated it like a drink mix. I guess... I need to buy sugar.
Also good. A classic.Orange Crush
Used to be my favourite as a boy. I don't remember if I had a plain orange yet but this one advertises having real cane sugar. So that's a plus.
Very little actually "jelly" inside. Not as interesting as one my hope.Dubble Bubble Jelly Donuts
I wasn't expecting such an interesting flavour from Dubble Bubble to be honest. This thread turned me into a Bubble Yum man. But I'm open to this adventure.
OK. Don't hate it but still not a Whoppers guy.Mini Robins Eggs
Easter Whoppers. I used to kind of hate Whoppers but now I don't. But they still aren't my favourite.
Just taste like gummi worms. Trolli does it well.Trolli Sweet Squiggles
I don't think "gummi" have the copyright on "worms".
These were good. Actual milk chocolate.Buncha Crunch
When things are in bunch form, they WILL fly at you.
Still good. Need to remember to buy a mug to frost.A & W Root Beer
A favourite, though I wish I thought to by a mug to frost.
A very light flavour. It does taste like the gum and it isn't bad but not that exciting.Fruit Stripes Gummy Candy
Finally, the gummi that tastes like no one's favourite gum.
Perfectly cromulent.KitKat Pops
Just like every horror movie franchise moves into space when out of ideas, many chocolate bars become balls.
The lacquer they use is very good. This is a good pretzel.Pretzel Pzazz All-Dressed
Not about food but remember Pzazz from Jem and the Holograms? She fucking rocked.
Just gumDubble Bubble Football Gum Machine
Just in time for baseball season... I think? I know shit about sports.
Good. I think I like having at as a lightly sweetened drink, now.Kool-Aid Orange
Remember the directions: add all the fucking sugar, you monster.
What it says on the tin.Hershey's Bunny
Happy post-Easter sales
Yeah Uncle Al's is not that exciting.Uncle Al's Lemon Ice Cookies
Again, sounds satisfying to say, not sure about eating.
This is a step up but not as good as an Oreo brand.Uncle Al's Strawberry Cremes
Not a big fan of Uncle Al's so far but I feel like it's easier to succeed at knock-off Hydrox.
Those aren't the Originals! Mr. Peanut is a lying bastard!Planters Cheez Balls
This is perfect. "Cheese Balls" is the favourite non-sequitur interjection of some of the kids I take care of so this is going in dramatic play.
It works for Kit Kat and it doesn't even need the coffee flavor.
That's true, and I consider KitKat is a top tier bar.
Damn, and here I was, getting all excited. I haven't seen those in years!
It's decent poppity cornPoppa Corn
Free fresh (ish) made popcorn with purchase at the store today.
This time it probably could have used more sugar.Kool-Aid Mixed Berry
My long Kool-Aid journey continues. I know I'm making it without as much sweetener as recommended but frankly I like it that way.
A decent root beerDad's Root Beer
It never occurred to me but is calling it "dad's root beer" a kind of Candy cigarette games where you pretend you are doing a vice, in this case stealing a beer from dad?
I dunno, the big kisses just don't work as well for me.Springtime Kisses
This is just another big kiss.
Good enough. Not sure what would work best as a liquid base though. I guess just unflavoured bubble water.Canada Dry Cranberry Ginger Ale drink mix
This might be the last non-kool aid drink mix in the drink mix section.
I don't know if they are original but they tasted decent.Planters Cheez Balls
This is perfect. "Cheese Balls" is the favourite non-sequitur interjection of some of the kids I take care of so this is going in dramatic play.
Just some kisses in a different packagingHershey's Kisses (spring edition)
Why are you disguised as a Toblerone?
Congratulations, you win a subpar generic candyCandy Jackpot
Oh, I guess I had these alreadyUncle Al's Oatmeal Cookies
I hope you like boring-ass flavours (I actually love oatmeal... when it is a MOIST/SOFTcookie)
These actually aren't too bad. But there is no coconut taste here.Uncle Al's Coconut Bar Cookies
I like coconut but I suspect it won't taste much like it.
Tasted more coffee-esque than usual. I don't know if I taste the extra cream/sugar though.Coffee Crisp Double Double
Coffee Crisp is one of my low-key favourite chocolate bars. You'd think a bar with vanilla wafer would be dull as Hell but the light coffee flavour is great. Interested to see how it makes it taste like a double double more than usual.
I haven't trusted him since he faked his own death.
Hard agree
I dunno, but I getcha. Seems slightly less harsh than regular yellow, doesn't it? Like maybe a touch sweeter?
The candy in here was quite bad. Just sort of like the powdery sugar type but it feels like it went stale.Toy Story 4
Wait, that's the candy's name?
Good but I didn't get the right sweet mix in. Really, some Kool Aids don't need a lot of sugar but some are too tart without the right mix.Kool-Aid Pink Lemonade
What is it about pink that makes lemonade good?
Anyway, while gummi frogs aren't my most favourite gummi, the two kinds of gummi textures make for it being one of the better and more interesting gummis.Leaping Frogs
Wait, that's what they call the gummi frogs?
Just a decent cherry sodaStewart's Cherries n Cream
I keep trying to write "cookies and cream."
Very nice. I think the Mentos aspect isn't just a name, I think the same process is used. I tried to put one is soda to see if I got that famous reaction, but no. But also, I realized it's cola so I don't know if the Mentos trick actually works with soda.Mentos Gum - Watermelon
Sure, OK.
I ended up enjoying this a fair bit. The vinegar taste was lighter (important for me, I don't like extremely strong vinegar tastes) and the dill was pronounced. Really, it felt stronger than a brand of tie-in chips had any right to be. I'll be forever curious if this brand is just a relabelled "Larry the Cable Guy" flavour (one kind exited the store and then these immediately showed up with the same flavours) but I'm not giving money to the Larry estate to find out.Trailer Park Boys - Dill Pinknle
OK, so I kinda remember this show that somehow still has a fanbase. I don't get the comical malaprop for pickles in the name but I will say this; the last couple months they had "Larry the Cable Guy" brand chips I refused to touch. But I suspect that it might be the same product in a different bag. It all seems to be the same flavours. I will say that at least this seems on brand. The Larry flavours are "Pass the Dang Ketchup" (wait, ketchup chips... did they even sell that flavour in the states and "Everything but the kitchen sink" and... I know very little about Mr. The Cable Guy but these are just words and nothing that ties into Larry, right? This seems like it's trying a bit.
They were fine. Uncle Al's tends to be competent but never rises above that.Uncle Al's Vanilla Cremes
This is the last of the Uncle Al's. The Strawberry cremes were OK, so I think this'll be fine.
Pretty decent. Not as sour as I was expecting.Sour Punch Sucker
You know, I forgot to find out where these gourmet suckers come from.
Very nice. Much like a differently shaped Caramilk.Galaxy Smooth Caramel
You've been hit by, you've been struck by a
