Airheads : Weak Name, Strong Candy
I’ve held back for years, until now. I bought my first Airhead.
Twizzlers Sweet and Soft Sour Poo Nozzles
Baby poo or zit insides? Either way, not good news.
Dorval Sour Belts-Trumped By A Puny Fruit Chew?
Dorval sour belts and straws are great-but the toss in throw-away candy they included stole the show
Katjes Chile Heringe: Umm …. I f*&^ing LOVE these
Dammit if the Dutch aren’t just super right on. They make great licorice. They aren’t afraid of really pushing anise. They don’t pretend to cater to children. They play to adults. And they use salt. Like all good cooks.
Marich Confectionary Stuns the Gurus
Solid candies from a family company. Word!
Güdfüd: Stuffed Marshmallows Never Tasted So Imported
They’re called güdfüd and they’re American. Read the review, but I warn you, though the candy is good, this review sucks.
Happy Goat Caramels: SO not Baaaad
Happy Goat Caramels – local SF, CA candy. These things whack you with a vanilla taste that shames any thing else describing itself as vanilla.
Ireland – Is There More Than U2, The Name “Rowan” and Guiness???
Here’s a first- candy from Ireland. Will it suck, or stay strong like the rest of Europe?
Grape Vines: They’re Purptastic!
These taste like purple, and it’s perfectly logical for today’s candy enthusiast to only want authentic, all natural, chardonnay-esque, only organic, non-fructose, raw cane grape candy. I feel you. But personally I love fake grape.
The Candygurus Do Mexico
Mexico, thou hast forsaken us-up till NOW.
Wonka Exceptionals’ Fruit Marvels: Do they Live Up to the Legend?
The fine people at Wonka sent us a bunch of sweets, half chocolate and half non-chocolate- I’m putting away the dark cocoa mistress and burying my gob into some fruity chewy type treats. Do they live up to the Wonka legacy?
2010: The Year of Mierda Candy
Every year I like to do a candy bash post. For 2010, may I forever pray you don’t go anywhere near the three candies in this post.
Juicy Jells: Kids Love Em! But I’m Old…
Juicy Jells from Candy Basket. Soft textured with huge sugar crystals on the outside. Gramma might like these? Jello cubes. Eh.
Sour Spanks: Not a Sex Game Gone Awry but a Nice Treat!
The lil’ genius who created Jelly Belly’s – by far the best tasting jelly bean ever created – contacted Candygurus and said, ‘we got candy – review it.’ If this isn’t a sign that the godforsaken Candygurus have made it then I don’t know what is.
Fruit Sours from Jelly Belly: Kinda One and Not the Other
Jelly Belly Fruit Sours aren’t really fruity or sour. A tad disappointing from our fave jelly bean maker. On the other hand, we know they can make the goods…so perhaps there’s hope…
Maoam Kracher – High End Mentos? Is That Even A Good Thing?
St. Barth’s has hot girl everywhere and tons of excellent candy. You need to go.
Tropical Stormz Tootsie Pops Lollipops, Fantasy Football Style
$100 says you can’t finish reading this review–it’s THAT long.
Haribo Bumix: Bad name. Bad candy.
If this was the first and only thing you ever ate from Haribo you might hold a grudge or swear off German candy forever. Jonny, Scotty and I review these badboys on video.
Chewy Extinguishers Promise Big Things…
Yes, I WANT to eat something so sour that I need extinguishing.
Haribo Primavera Is NOT Pasta, Apparently.
If Strawberry Quick had a candy version, this would be it.
Nothing rhymes with “Wonka Kazoozles”, so … I can’t be clever.
Is it a gummy? A salve? Licorice? Hair Cream?
Chewsbetter, Chewsbetter, Chews Bet! Chewwwewws!***
Are you a “candy healthy people”?
I’m fantasizing about a Big Hunk! ZING!!!!
If it’s big, AND it’s a hunk, then usually that scares me.
Hot Tamales-Hold The Cheese On These, Chump!
I heart spice. Are these legit, or flaccid?
Abba Abba Ka-Zabba…I Wanna Reach Out & Grab Ya
Peanut Butter & Apples- A Classic Combo???
Serpentinas – slithering around bad taste
It’s not fair to blame the masses for the faults of a few. Like, you can’t say every Iranian is a numbnut; just the dumdum leaders who use religion to hide behind a fascist regime stuck in the middle ages. Similarly, just because there seems to be an inordinate amount of crap candy out of [...]
Take classic caramels. Now shake ‘em up. Keep shaking. Now eat.
Gourmet caramels that aint cheap. Are they really worth it?
