They have had the butterfinger ones for a while I believe, but I swore the sign said Baby Ruth so I grabbed one. Well it was a crunch bar. Nothing too exciting really. Was missing the crunch flavor actually. A few crispies on the top. meh….
Looking for the ever elusive caramel M&M while fueling up and spotted these. I was hoping for a sweet gooey coconutty center, but it seems the coconut is just mixed in with the chocolate. Still darn decent. I am still bewildered they decided against the caramel ones. I would of dedicated my life to them and even have gotten a hoverround. Stoopid Mars.
I missed it. Was about to swear off soda, but I am back to enjoying this throwback to a time back when dew was awesome.
They’re super, thanks for asking. Actually they are so so. Some of those flavors really are not the yum you get from the more popular beans, but I see why they went this way. Superfruits are the new hotness. They are supposed to be all natural so the colors are really close and I give it a meh….
We have seen these on shows and on the internets. We got a thinkgeek catalog and saw they had them and had to try.
The berry itself has a low sugar content and a mildly sweet tang. It contains an active glycoprotein molecule, with some trailing carbohydrate chains, called miraculin. When the fleshy part of the fruit is eaten, this molecule binds to the tongue’s taste buds, causing sour foods to taste sweet. While the exact cause for this change is unknown, one hypothesis is that the effect may be caused if miraculin works by distorting the shape of sweetness receptors “so that they become responsive to acids, instead of sugar and other sweet things”. This effect lasts 15–60 minutes.
It is crazy. The dried bits taste like a vitamin C pill with berry flavor. It does feel strange on the tongue and makes you salivate like crazy. Not the best tasting, but more of a weak drop that is chalky. I chomped some lemon and you get the lemon sour flavor and smell right away. I think the nose is playing a big part in the initial taste. After that it is really sweet. I stopped for a minute and savored and it seemed like I ate a spoonful of sugar. Orange was sweet, but not as much as the lemon. Lime was not all that sweet. Tried some salt and vinegar chips and they tasted sweet. Washed it all down with some orange juice and it was like drinking corn syrup.
Thing is once the goop is washed off your tongue it is pretty much over. I read beers taste different and tequila is extra smooth. Sucked on another tablet and did not notice much from the Jose because it is such crappy crap and alcohol tasting. Will put off the guinness and BLVD wheat tomorrow.

Michael Pollan asked for some eating tips from folks and has 20 of the good ones.
I wish i would of had my camera when Theresa picked these up and looked at me with complete disgust. She was under the weather as well.
I am currently reading a straight dope book on the plop plop machine and Cecil mentioned circus peanuts and I started craving them. I really loved them as a kid and was pretty stunned to find out they were banana flavored. I guess I never noticed, but after being told that they started tasting funny to me. Picked some up last night and they were nummers.
Fear and loathing. Sample comments: “Ewwwww! I tried one once. It was like eating a dead finger.” “They taste like they’re stale even when they’re fresh.” “Like orange-flavored Styrofoam.” “I think they are the horror that is the circus, that flat tin taste of fear and clowns and little lost children amid the cotton candy stink and the piles of elephant doo-doo and the clamor of the midway and the tinny sound of the circus band endlessly wheezing its way through yet another soulless circus fanfare.
Srry, saw this pic from a long time ago and thought I would make a post. Yup, we tried it. It is scary how it seems every KFC thing is dipped in chemicals to get that flavor. It seemed like it was grilled, but we all know that is the lamest use of the word grilled.
Meh….
Ugh…. I hate using the food tag, but at least I put the generic random crap tag on there too.
A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed.
