Skittles, M&M's, Starbursts

Candy, what more can I say. It's sweet, tangy, or sour. Bad for the teeth but good for my mood.

Skittles Fizzl'd Fruits - A new flavor from skittles. It has a coating on it Sodium Bicarbonate that makes it fizzle when it touches your tongue. If you ever had Zots, you would know what this fizzle is.

It fizzles for me then fizzeled out soon after. You would need about 3 or 4 at once to get the full effect. Like a poprock with out the popping. Maybe if you take enough you can get it to make it look like you are skittle color foaming at the mouth.

The actual skittle itself is more of a dull flavor. I think the coating made my tongue numb to the actual flavor of the skittle maybe. Still it wasn't the sweet flavor I've grown to love from skittles. The leftover "powder" in the bag makes for a great gag idea for foaming at the mouth. You will instantly start to get a reaction from the powder when you put it in, and your mouth with foam. But you'll have the taste of table salt after it's over.

- Look

Starburst - Summer Fun Fruits

A mixture of Banana and other flavors. I tasted the Banana but wasn't sure of the other flavors, well which was which anyways. It's a smooth taste, not to sweet and not to dull. Still good, but not all that of it's big brother.

-Not as intense as the others

M&M coconut

I have liked all the M&M's put out so far, except the Cherry one. And now they have brought out a new one, coconut flavor. With a pretzel one to follow, if not out already. I was afraid to try it, because I'm not a big fan of coconut. But as with M&M's reputation I was satisfied with it, it made me appreciate the work they put into them. Wasn't to tart, to sweet, to mellow. Just the right mixture to balance out the flavor of chocolate and coconut.
