Big Babol Juice Gum

// June 1st, 2010 // No Comments » // Candy Video Review, Chewing Gum, International Candy



Juicy Juicy!!! Check out this great chewing gum .. and sugar free!

The gum actually did last longer than I expected! I wish I had another box!!! The company does have a fun website. It is all in Italian and in Flash so you won’t be able to use the Google translator to understand. There are more fruity and juicy looking gums so I would check out the website!

Juicy Drop Pops Rock!

// May 25th, 2010 // No Comments » // Candy Video Review, lollipop

Hey!!! Back again with some nice lollipops! Check out the Candy Tuesday video!

So AFTER testing the Juicy Drop Pop I realized to search online for the lollipop. Well of course I found it — with instructions how to eat the juicy drop pop. I still find it strange that there were no instructions in the candy wrap. Well, I loved it even without dipping the drops inside of the caves of the lollipop. Here are the steps:

  1. Slide the juicy drop pop out of the container
  2. Open sour juice lid and pour into pop groove
  3. Pop in mouth for extreme juicy flavor
  4. Repeat

Check out the website for detailed instructions. Below is Youtube Juicy Drop Pop commercial showing exactly how to eat and enjoy!!

These lollipops are made by the same company that manufacture Push Pops! Awesome! You can purchase them online pretty much everywhere like Amazon.com and Wal-Mart.com

Take a Haribo Gummy Bear Flight?

// May 18th, 2010 // 1 Comment » // Adventures, Candy Art

Just kidding!! However, I was traveling recently and I what I saw was so original. The German Airline TuiFly candy art by Haribo!!

Isn’t that neat!!! I looked in the air and I said to myself, well isn’t that the Haribo Bear! If I had a choice, I would definitely like to fly on the Bear!

The airline has the gold haribo gummy bears colors as well. When you’re traveling be sure to be on the lookout! It is very original!

Once I get settled in, I’ll post new candy reviews! My apologies!
