Kasugai Fruit Gummy Candy

// September 8th, 2009 // No Comments » // Candy Video Review, Gummy, International Candy



Happy Tuesday! Back to school for some – and back to eating more candy on Tuesdays with my Candy Tuesday review. I hope you enjoy!


As you noticed, I really liked the Muscat (Green Grape) gummies it was just like eating a grape Kasugai Gummy Candy from Japan! Really juicy center and it reminds me so much of the life savers but softer and a bit juicier.

Current Flavors Include

  • Mango
  • Red Grape
  • Green Grape
  • Apple
  • Pineapple
  • Kiwi
  • White Peach
  • Strawberry
  • Melon
  • Orange

I bought these in a local convenience store in Washington, DC and the price was $3.69 but I’ve seen it online at places like Amazon.com and Ebay for a little bit over $5. Its all worth the taste and try!

Lindt Gold Bunnies

// March 31st, 2009 // No Comments » // Candy News, Candy Video Review, Easter Candy, Gummy, chocolate candy

Easter is right around the corner and today is Candy Tuesday! I hope you like the review!

The Lindt Easter Bunny has been around for many years! I did not realize the history behind the story until now. The first Lindt Gold Bunny was created in March 1952 and it has held a great tradition ever since. The bunny is made from soft milk Lindt chocolate and is wrapped with a gold color foil. The tradition is that the bunny is wrapped in gold with a red tie around the neck!

The month of March 2007 during the bunny’s 55 Aniversary was celebrated as Lindt Chocolate Day. Large gold bunny sculptures were made and decorations. All of which I had no idea! These bunnies are not so easy to find. Even after checking Ebay, I’ve only seen them in a couple of stores and especially from Europe!

Read more about the making of the gold bunny at the Lindt Gold Bunny Website. Also, if you’re interested you can send a Easter Card free from the site as well. They are very well designed, plus you can add your own photo. That normally at places like Hallmark is no less than $1.99 to send. So take advantage!!

Maynards Sours

// January 26th, 2009 // No Comments » // Candy Video Review, Gummy, International Candy, Sour Candy

This special edition of Candy Tuesdays is occuring on Monday because of a special message before the Valentines Day Contest! Enjoy!

Because I like winegums I had to try the Maynards Sours. They were great and really sour. As I mentioned I was very surprised. I was expecting a very low level of sourness! I have seen them sold online at Ebay.com from sellers in the USA and Canada. So if you’re into wine gum’s you should give it a try. The price of the bag of 170g is almost $5.00 so its not cheap because it is an import candy!

Check out the upcoming Valentines Candy Contest!

Good luck!

Aakkoset Fruit Candy

// December 2nd, 2008 // No Comments » // Finnish Candy, Gummy, International Candy

Hey guys! Another edition of Candy Tuesdays with candy sent in from Finland. Enjoy the review!

The Aakkoset (Alphabet) Fruit gummies were really tasty and soft. Although the flavors were not that distinctive, it was enjoyable. The bag that I reviewed is actually a Super Mix of 315 grams and the price is different than stated on the video. The price is 3.50 euros which converts to almost $4.00.

The company is Leaf and the candy is made in Finland. If you visit the company website you will see a list of those candies. However, to purchase a bag for yourself there is a Finnish company which will send all types of candy and other goods from Finland at fairly good prices: Suomi Kauppa

I tried to spell out “Love Candy” but there weren’t any “D’s” in the bag. Unless I ate them first! So I managed to spell out “Love Sweets”!

So if you managed to buy them, let me know what you think!
