>>>From: Tracy Hunt [mailto:mphunt at sprintmail.com]
... new flavors of spagetti, earthworm
and soap added. I've tried them all...they're nasty!<<<
I tried the spaghetti one thinking "how bad could it be" since I love
spaghetti, but it's just so incongruous to have a jelly bean taste like
that, I had to spit it out! That was my one and only attempt at eating those
things!
>>>On the same candy rack, we also saw and purchased Jelly Slugs (much
like 'Dots' in flavor and texture - they stick to your teeth), Ice
Mice (like a berry flavored Jolly Rancher with a sugar mouse in the
center) and Fizzing Whizbees (like orange, rasberry and strawberry
flavored Pop Rocks).<<<
I got Drooble's Best Blowing Gum (flavor doesn't last very long, didn't even
try blowing bubbles), Fizzing Whizbees (don't know why they're like Pop
Rocks, that's nothing like what they're supposed to be in the book--not that
levitating candy is possible, but then maybe they should have put out
something else) and a Chocolate Frog. I was most disappointed in the
Chocolate Frog. First of all, it was tiny. Second, it wasn't even solid
chocolate, but had krispies, and it wasn't that good. And I was really
hoping/expecting for the cards to have the actors on them. Don't know if
they couldn't get the rights to their images or what, but I really wanted
Dumbledore! But all the wizards listed on the back of the package are ones
we haven't seen in the movies, and sure enough, they are
cartoons/illustrations! At least they're holographic so they have ~some~
coolness to them!
