Smint & Gum

// November 17th, 2009 // No Comments » // Chewing Gum

Hey guys! I”m kind of bummed out because as I was starting the video for Candy Tuesday, it stopped everytime after 2 seconds. I have an error of a slow memory card .. So today there is no video unfortunately, but tomorrow I will head out to get a faster SD memory card. Hopefully that will do the trick.

Anyway, my review for today is Smint & Gum. The brand Smint is from Spain and it is a dental candy that contains Xylitol which is good for the health of your teeth. Smint started as small boxes of mint type candies that can be compared to Tic Tacs but with a different form and overall flavor. Smints have the shape of smooth edge triangle and comes in many different flavors to freshen the breath.

The Smint dispenser is pretty neat as you push at the top and the small candy drops from the bottom. However, that is not my review for today but if you look below you can see the original size compared to the Smint Gum. I actually love Smint candy but never tried the gum so I was looking forward to this.

The package above is red with 8 smints. The form of the Smint mints is the same but larger than the drops.  Also a big difference, it contains gum, but in a unique way. The top has the candy drop and a bit hard shelled and the bottom layer contains the gum. The flavor is strawberry and on the top you can see white and pink with spots. Well the candy and gum alternates sides so you might have the mint gum or the strawberry gum flavor.

When I popped it in my mouth I enjoyed the flavor of course however the gum shrank in size really fast and the gum didn’t last long at all.  But I enjoyed the flavor! I probably wouldn’t buy this anymore because the Smint Candy is enough but when I want long lasting gum I’ll try other options!

The gum comes in the following flavors

• Fresh Mint
• Strong Mint
• Strawberry
• Blackberry

The website can be found at Smint.com.

Best Cotton Candy Gum

// September 18th, 2009 // No Comments » // Chewing Gum

One of my weaknesses at a carnival or amusement park is buying cotton candy. I love all flavors, blueberry, strawberry and whatever freaky flavors there are! I haven’t been able to try so many cotton candy gums but here are the top cotton candy gum’s that I’m going to review.

Cotton Candy Bubblicious Bubble

Bubblicious has a very good cotton candy flavor but the gum doesn’t last as long as I would like. Overall – Good

Harry Potter Droobles Cotton Candy Gum

This bag is making me drool. I haven’t tried this Harry Potter Droobles Cotton Candy gum yet. I will make sure I try and review it later.

Big League Chew Cotton Candy Gum

I haven’t had Big League since I was like 15 years old. I use to love it and the original flavor to me was awesome so I can imagine that the cotton candy flavor is great as well.

Bubble Tape Gum Rolls Cotton Candy

Bubble Tape the long last flavor and its soft texture is one of more reasons why I should try the cotton candy gum. I bet its great!

Dubble Bubble Cotton Candy Gum

Dubble Bubble has three cotton candy flavor gum balls (Cherry, Lemon & Blue Raspberry). First, I have never tried lemon cotton candy gum or cotton candy. I would love to try these, although I’m not the biggest fan of Dubble Bubble because it doesn’t last long.

If you were looking for cotton candy gum, here are the best out there and hopefully the ones that I didn’t try I will review in the future! All of these are available at Candy Warehouse!

Uber Bubble Fantastic

// July 28th, 2009 // No Comments » // Candy Video Review, Chewing Gum

I have a sweet Candy Tuesday video today! Enjoy

The Uber Bubble gum was awesome!!! I truly enjoyed this gum and I know for certain that box will go fast. The aroma coming from the bag was amazing. In my last Stridegum review I was pleased with the Non Stop Mint flavor, but this blows it out of the water for me. Especially that it does not stick to my braces and the flavor is great. It reminds me also of Hubba Bubba, and I guess the name of this flavor Uber Bubble using the same play with rhyming words!

If you haven’t tried this yet, hop over to the store and buy a package. It is long lasting — very long lasting gum!

Super Hiper Acido

// May 9th, 2009 // 3 Comments » // Chewing Gum, Eating Right Now

Wow, its been a long time since writing and I do apologize. I have been traveling and soon I’ll be traveling again. However, I did get a chance to try one of the most sour bubble gum that I have ever ate. I did not have my video camera because it was offered to me and I wasn’t expecting it. The gum is Super Hiper Acido and its 8 cm long and inside there is sour powder. I was told by the kid who offered it to me that I could not handle it. I said, of course I can because sour candy is my favorite type of candy and gum.

So first I tried the Green Apple and I bit about half of it and chewed it and it was not that sour. Later, the kids said, wait the Green Apple is nothing so they gave me the Strawberry. I took the same bite and well it was 100% different and sooooooo sour. I mean I had tears like the cartoon from Cry Babies gum but this is so much more sour. I had to take a break from chewing and there is NO WAY that I could have eaten the entire 8 cm. I had to save it for later. I have never eaten gum that sour in my life.

The company behind this gum is Confiteca and they manufacturer gum, candy, sugar free candy, chocolates, lollipops and novelty candy..

Here is a video commercial of the gum in action

After you try this gum, I think that you will agree that it is one of sourest gums in the world!! I have not tried ordering from the website but it does give users a chance to create and account and purchase candy I believe. The ordering processing takes awhile for delivery: 45 – 60 days depending on the product.
