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.

Today I have a bunch of filled candy tubes ranging from sweet, to sour, to marshmallow!

Lemonhead & Friends Fruit Flavored Breath Mints - Dollar Tree

I saw these breath mints at the dollar tree and I really liked the colors and the packaging. I don't have high hopes for the candy itself, but I could resist giving it a try. (Plus it was cheap, so no major loss if these are gross.)
