Wisdom Teeth Pain

// March 17th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // Adventures

Wow, what pain I’m having after getting the last two wisdom teeth extracted last week. I’m still in pain however. But the good news was that during both sessions of wisdom tooth extraction, the dentist did not have to do anything really complicated like surgery. The last tooth, number 28 was the worst and it had 3 roots (which is not so common). It is a week later and I’m still feeling the pain.

This is why I have not been able to do my Candy Tuesdays videos. I had the other two wisdom teeth on the right side of my mouth extracted a little over two weeks ago. Recovering has been ok but not as well as planned, plus throw in the flu.

I have a lot on the back tracks. Last week I was able to write about the tennis gumballs, and there is a video to accompany it once I’m able to create it!

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.

3 Musketeers Minis

// February 13th, 2009 // 2 Comments » // chocolate candy, valentines candy

Wow, I’m back!! With a new server and all working correctly. I apologize for that bad timing in server issues. Valentine’s Day is tomorrow and I’m looking forward to getting some good valentine candy surprises, as well as giving of course! I was asked to review the new 3 Musketeers Mini’s candy that is pretty new and great for Valentine’s Day. If you’re a regular reader than you know I’m not the biggest chocolate candy fan but I do like some. The regular 3 Musketeers chocolate bar was one of my favorites as a kid, as well as Mars. I think because it wasn’t totally chocolate.

Now available by Mars Company are 3 Musketeers Mini’s in Raspberry and Cherry flavors. I believe this is similar to the Baskin Robbins minis that I reviewed in the video.

This Valentine’s Day, chocolate loves can indulge in the perfect flavor combination of cherry nougat dipped in dark chocolate with 3 MUSKETEERS® CHERRY limited edition. Combined with 45% less fat than the average leading chocolate brands, 3 MUSKETEERS® CHERRY limited edition is a delicious chocolate treat you can enjoy without the guilt.

The great thing about these minis are that they are individually wrapped and easy to pop in your mouth and eat. The retail price for each 9oz bag is $3.29 and can be purchased almost any chain store like Walmart or pharmacy. The main two flavors are Cherry and Raspberry with cherry nougat and raspberry nougat dipped in luscious dark chocolate. Continue Reading

Apologizes and Updates

// February 11th, 2009 // No Comments » // Candy News

Well, if you have seen changes on my blog back and forth is due to my hosting (which sucks). I’m currently moving and changing host after being a customer for the past 5 years. On February 1st, I posted the new winner and no one replied. I’m not sure if it was due to the website not showing the post which was made and actually commented. Later, due to my hosting server issues, the post was lost. I was really looking forward to giving the winner candy but no one responded and I’m not sure if it was due to the server.

However, if you were subscribed to Feedburner, the winner is still listed and I was able to copy and paste the post as you can now see listed on the site. So if someone could claim they are the winner I will get the candy out asap. If no one responds by Friday I will post a new winner. PLEASE!!
