Aakkoset Fruit Candy

// December 2nd, 2008 // 1 Comment » // 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!

Starburst Gummiburst

// October 17th, 2008 // 2 Comments » // Gummy

Has the Starburst Gummiburst Van come by your campus yet? Well, if not be on the lookout for a yellow van giving out the newest Starburst brand, “Gummiburst”!

The Starburst Gummiburst movement will begin its tour in Boston and ending in Charlotte, North Carolina after visiting New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, San Antonio, Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and San Diego before wrapping up in Raleigh around December. Some fun events will be surrounding the Gummi Tour.

At each stop, students will be invited to perform on the stage of the GummiBurst van with one of four virtual instruments, drums, guitar or bass, through the Microsoft Xbox console. Four large plasma screens will capture the action and participants will receive faux concert GummiBurst T-shirts.

I’m looking very forward to trying out the new Gummiburst because in general all Starburst candy has really juicy flavor which I love! They come in normal gummiburst and sour! Below is a picture of the bag.
