Ludens Soothed My Sugar Tooth & Throat!

// January 24th, 2012 // No Comments » // Candy Video Review, Sugar Free



So isn’t it ironic that two days after initially filming the review, I’m sick with a cold and thank goodness that the Ludens Throat Drops arrived when they did!

Check out the video!!

So my nephew liked the Orange, but I haven’t tried any other flavor than Cherry and it is ADDICTING. Although my throat is bothering me, I’m popping Ludens like Skittles. This is what sets them apart from other throat drops.

Flavors include:

  • Wild Cherry
  • Wild Honey
  • Licorice
  • Sugar Free Wild Cherry
  • Orange

The newest flavor is the Orange in fact and the bag that I received is priced around $1.79 in stores. You can of course find them anywhere. Ludens has been around for over 130 years! I knew it was an old company but never imagined 130 years!!

Thanks so much for sending me a few to review. I’m sure with the change of the weather, I’m problematically sure to get sick again..

Counting With Candy 1-20 Book Review

// October 4th, 2011 // 1 Comment » // Candy Video Review

We all know that learning numbers are necessary to kids and we all know one thing that kids love besides toys, “CANDY”. To help make learning fun we are sharing with you Candy 1 to 20 By Laurie Wolf and Pam Abrams with photos by Bruce Wolf. This book is designed to help teach children the basic numbers 1 through 20 using candy to form the numbers such as, 2 sour strips to make the number 2 or 19 Peanut M&Ms to for the number 19 and so many other candy combinations to make numbers 1 through 20.

The idea of using one of a child’s favorites (candy) to teach numbers is a great way for children to learn. Candy 1 to 20 using the combination of candy and education is the perfect way to help teach kids using their favorite yummy treats to learn their numbers.

Of course for me as a candy addict the photos were mouth drooling because well.. I didn’t have the same stash at the house during that time. Afterwards, it made me go out and buy a couple of sour strips!

Check out some of photos from the book!

This makes a nice gift for any child.

Purchase online for only $8.99!

Jelly Belly Halloween Candy & Harry Potter Bertie Bott’s Taste Test

// September 6th, 2011 // No Comments » // Candy Video Review, Halloween Candy, Jelly Beans

I have a freaky edition of Candy Tuesday today!! Enjoy

After the video, my family and I tried the Harry Potter Bertie Bott’s Beans by Jelly Belly and let me tell you… it was an experience!! I’ve never tasted any candy so bad and so good ever!

Here the list of flavors in the “cute” Harry Potter Bertie Bott’s Beans with my comments

  • Banana – nice to wash the others down
  • Black Pepper – clearly tasted like black pepper and of course as a candy GROSS
  • Blueberry – nice like always
  • Booger – although I’m not a Booger expert, my brother said it tasted like the real thing!! GROSS
  • CandyFloss – nice flavor
  • Cherry – nice like always
  • Cinnamon – i don’t think my box contained cinnamon at least I didn’t taste it
  • Dirt – YUCK! I spit it right out
  • Earthworm – not a bad flavor
  • Earwax – it was good to wash down other flavors
  • Grass – wow… this tasted like the real thing
  • Green Apple – refreshing to eat this after the others
  • Marshmallow – not a very strong flavor
  • Rotten Egg – OH MY GOD.. DON’T TRY UNLESS YOU ARE BOLD!!! I SPIT IT OUT BEFORE IT HIT MY TONGUE. SMELLS HORRIBLE
  • Sausage – It tasted exactly as flavored — aiii
  • Lemon – again nice flavor
  • Soap – honestly it tasted like soap so after that disgusting Rotten Egg I washed my mouth right out
  • Tutti-Fruitti – Very nice! one of my favorites
  • Vomit – Seriously.. who even thought of this and test tasted the flavor.. I tasted verbatim exactly exactly like disgusting VOMIT.. I will never try again!!
  • Watermelon – GOOOD

Those flavors are incredibly exactly like the name. That is a great Halloween gift to give the kids. They can be purchased from JellyBelly.com, Amazon, Wal-Mart and of course your local CVS or Walgreens etc.
