Beautiful Boba Beans

Full disclosure, I bought these because they're pretty. They were a lot of fun to photograph, and I love the colors, but will I love how they taste? 

There are 5 flavors in this mix, and they're all Milk Tea based. We have: Strawberry Milk Tea, Mango Milk Tea, Taro Milk Tea, Matcha Milk Tea, and Thai Milk Tea.

Swedish Fish Mafia - Various Swedish Fish Products


Today's post has limited edition flavors, sea creatures, and even a black light gimmick. I love OG Red Swedish Fish, but will I love all their new varieties? 

Also, (unrelated) I'm cancelling my Netflix subscription in July since I use it the least out of any of my subscriptions. Please give me any suggestions of worthwhile shows to watch before I get rid of it. I've already been through the big ones, like BoJack Horseman, Apothecary Diaries, Frieren (both also on Hulu) all of the Mike Flanagan limited series, and Arcane. Currently I'm watching through Dead Boy Detectives, which is giving me Doom Patrol-meets-Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (it's cute, but so far I'm not in love.) Any recommendations? Please let me know in the comments. 

First up, Blue Raspberry Lemonade.

On What Planet is this Pizza?


Another day, another pizza flavored snack. This time I have Lesser Evil Space Balls - Outer Planet Pizza flavor. What a mouthful. This particular bag is Toy Story branded, but from what I can tell this is a normal year-round flavor. 

With this being a healthier snack option, I am going in with a hefty dose of skepticism and very low expectations.

Strawberry PB&J Reese's Big Cups



This was released alongside a grape version, but I've had a hard time tracking that one down. Although if I'm being honest, I'm not trying that hard. Grape flavored cold medicine for children ruined grape flavored candy for me forever. (Bubble gum flavored things too.) Actually grape things, yes. Grape flavored things, mostly no. 

Strawberry being my go-to for PB&J sandwiches, and one of my favorite flavors of anything ever, I'm happy that I could only find this one.

Takis Waves - Dragon Sweet Chili


This seemed like the perfect product for me. I love Sweet Chili sauce. I love Spicy Sweet Chili Doritos. I love potato chips, and OG Takis. So when I spotted these chips on the shelf, I had to have them. Into the cart they went.

Summer Soda Sippin' - Pepsi Wild Cherry and Cream


Summer Soda Sippin' - Pepsi Wild Cherry and Cream 

After writing a few massive posts I wanted to take it easy with a quickie soda review.

Wild Cherry and Cream Pepsi sounds perfect for summer. I originally thought this was going to be a limited edition flavor, similar to Dr. Pepper's Coconut Creme💖, but it turns out this is a permanent addition to their line-up. (Although Coke said the same thing about Spiced and then it bit the dust after less than a year, so only time will tell.)

Ropes are all the Rage


Every fruity candy is releasing a ropes version.

This trend started with Nerds Ropes, which is executed differently than the candies we're looking at today, but there's no doubt that it's the catalyst. Due to Nerds Rope's incredible popularity, it spun off into the even more popular Nerds Gummy Clusters. The star of every Candy Salad Trauma Dump video I've ever seen. From there, filled Sweet-Tart ropes emerged and filled-Swedish candies took over our feeds. Ropes are everywhere! Today I have a bunch of filled candy tubes ranging from sweet, to sour, to marshmallow!

A Pac-Man walks into a Krispy Kreme...

Pac-Man and Krispy Kreme have a new collaboration, and even though they're more flash than substance, I still had to check them out. (Sorry for any rough typing, I cut my hand making dinner and I am struggling to type well as it heals.) 

There isn't a grand story behind it, or any kind of core memory, I just really like Pac-Man. I have a plug n' play joystick game that I still use (it also has Dig-Dug), a vintage T-shirt from the 80's that is hanging on by a thread, a vintage paper tablecloth, and a promotional Baby Pac-Man cup from the 7-Eleven 1983 series that I grew up using to give our dog, Coco, a bath. It's a simple game where you eat dots, and sometimes fruit or ghosts, and it makes me happy. 

Let's see what these doughnuts have to offer...
