Things Not to Put in Your Body: Skittles Fizzl’d Fruits

Apr 06, 2010 04:04

As far as candy choices go, Skittles are a pretty safe bet on average, right? Fruity, chewy, colorful, with that advertising that, if not exactly funny, is at least weird enough to liven up a two minute commercial break. Not so for the latest edition to the Skittles product lineup: Fizzl’d Fruits.

Oh, we have those! Only they are called SourSkittles and don't fizzle. So uh. Maybe we don't have those.

Yeah, these look and sort of taste like Sour Skittles... mrinconspicuous April 7 2010, 03:07:23 UTC

But more like if Sour Skittles worked up a bunch of excess frothy saliva in your mouth when you ate them.

Yeah, no, we're not American. We don't do shit like that. :p

Don't eat the fizzy powder plain anonymous April 8 2010, 04:11:46 UTC

Whatever you do don't put the leftover powder stuff from the bottom of the package in your mouth, it turns to a big wad of foamy gunk that burns your throat if you try to swallow it.

Wait, wait, lemme get this straight... mrinconspicuous April 8 2010, 05:18:02 UTC

You're saying I shouldn't pour the concentrated remainder of the most disgusting component of this candy directly from the wrapper into my mouth and expect that everything will be fine?

I miss those fingers.

Also, those things look icky just by themselves. They used to make Lunchables with fizzy powder. Ham should not fizz.

I was really hoping those fizzing Lunchables were something you made up. I could have lived a long happy life without knowing those ever existed.

Sorry bub. http://www.demonbaby.com/blog/2006/09/investigating-lunchables-alarming-new.html

I still hold out a shred of hope that Rob will blog again, but I'm afraid my hope is waning.

Re: *ahem* mrinconspicuous April 8 2010, 05:08:27 UTC

Oh, god. Don't show me anymore sites featuring fizzing candy powder on cold cuts. I already made a plenty-disturbing web search of my own.

Here's a sentence I never expected to type: "These Lunchables have broken my spirit."

For some reason this stern warning only makes me more curious to try the damn things. Natural selection in action?

Ha! Entertaining review. I reviewed this candy as well and the baking soda taste is disgusting. I likened it to that school project when kids mix vinegar and baking soda to make erupting volcanos.
