World Cup Soccer Whistle Candy!

// June 20th, 2010 // No Comments » // Candy Video Review, lollipop

Sorry I couldn’t get this out on Candy Tuesday. I’m moving around a bit. I have been watching soccer when I can and I picked this lollipop up at the store for a buck. Check it out!

I thought it was neat and of course fun to whistle. I’ll buy one for my nephew that played soccer this year for the first time. I’m sure he’ll get a kick out of the whistle and of course most importantly the CANDY!!

See ya next time and let’s hope Team USA passes onto the next round!

No show today..

Candy Inspired Engagement Story

// June 9th, 2010 // No Comments » // Candy News, Wedding Favor Candy

What a SWEET Engagement Story! Couple Nicole Garner and Brandon Pugh have a pretty sweet story that started their beginnings over a dessert date. Now they are happily engaged to wed in October. They have made a candy inspired engagement story that I think is the cutest and most original that I’ve seen!

The proposal with a flavored Ring Pop engagement ring .. and a great quote from the slide: Life is Uncertain, Eat Dessert First!

Check out the slideshow below.

Good luck Nicole & Brandon ~ Have a sweet wedding!

Mentos Rainbow Chewy Mints

// June 8th, 2010 // No Comments » // Candy Video Review, Limited Edition Candy

Check out Candy Tuesday’s!!! Very tasty with lots of flavor inside..

I checked online in the US market for the Mentos Rainbow but I didn’t see it on the website. I purchased mine in Spain and they have been popular in the UK. From the looks of it, there isn’t any sign of the rainbow mentos in the USA — sorry about that. The price was 1 euro at the time of purchase.. I normally like reviewing new candies, but in this case the mentos were just calling my name!

My favorite Mentos flavors in the Mentos Rainbow pack in red.

  • Grape
  • Pineapple
  • Raspberry
  • Lemon
  • Apple
  • Orange
  • Watermelon
  • Strawberry
