Bubble Gum Tennis Balls

// March 5th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // Chewing Gum, International Candy

Wow!! Have you ever seen this? I haven’t until over a week ago. I’ve been traveling again and I visited a candy factory in Spain and was very surprised about this canister of tennis gum balls! They are gum balls with the color, shape and design of a tennis ball. Even the texture looks about the same. The gum balls are liquid filled with lemon and lime flavors. I did not buy the canister but I should have, however I would have been the only one eating them. The canister contains 90 tennis gum balls. If you take a good luck the container is shaped just like a normal tennis ball canister. I’m a big big tennis fan and I love playing tennis in my free time so this just shocked me. I had never seen anything like this before in the USA.

After a little research I found out that the company is from Spain and creates all sorts of candy for sports like football (American soccer). Here is the website Fini. The website is in Spanish and French so go through a website translator like Google if you are having problems with the language.

Also, what I didn’t see at the store were individually wrapped tennis gum balls like I’ve found online which retail value is 0.05 euros. The canister of 90 gum balls were retail valued at 17.82 however in the store and online I’ve seen it price as low as 14.00euros.

This is a great idea and it would be great for any tennis coach to get their players motivated or rewarded before or after a match. Candy is always fun. Also as a fundraiser as well selling the individual packages could deem rewarding!

Here are the websites that offer the Finis Tennis Gum Ball Canister.

Trident Splash Citrus Raspberry

// January 8th, 2009 // 2 Comments » // Chewing Gum, Eating Right Now, Sugar Free

I hope that you’ve started the New Year off great! Well I’ve started the year eating sugarless gum that I stumbled upon. I usually don’t shop for too many sugar-free gum’s but the Trident Splash Citrus Raspberry case caught my eye. At times, I’m more intrigued by the design and colors of a “candy” than actually the candy or gum itself. So, I purchased this at Target’s Store and I was surprised at it fruity splash taste, given that it is a sugar free gum.

The gum contains Xylitol which was derived from Finland. When I lived in Finland back in 1999-2003, I ate all kinds of Xylitol gum’s and really didn’t get how important it was until it became mainstream in other countries years later.It is good for the teeth and as well as the health.

Anyway, Trident Passionberry Twist Gum is what I’ve been chewing and eating these past days. I love the design of the box. It is neat and user friendly. The pack contains 18 sticks and states that it “Cleans & Protects Teeth”.
