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.

Sour Electroshock Licorice

// October 14th, 2008 // No Comments » // International Candy, Licorice Candy

Today I have some international candy for Candy Tuesdays!! Right now I am visiting Spain and happened to get some goodies along the way. Enjoy the video!

As I said in the video, I normally do not eat licorice candy unless it has a fruity flavor such as these licorice straws with filling or without. The candy manufacturer is Fiesta and they do have a website in both English and Spanish. The Spanish candy website has most of the products which can be found at Fiesta.es. The English website (FiestaCandy.com) only seems to have chocolate rocks which is something very interesting.

The price for the package of four was 2 euros and as of today´s currency its $2.70. A bit expensive but it was well worth the taste. In most candy stores in Spain the licorice straws are popular and cost around 0.05 cents. However, the sour inside filling shocks is new and therefore priced more expensive than the rest.

The Sour Electroshock Flavors

• Strawberry
• Cola
• Apple

The translation for licorice in Spanish is Regaliz! I hope you´ve learned something new in the world of international candy! Enjoy
