Purchase from Walgreen's at Divisadero St, San Francisco and a liquor store at Fillmore

I love all of them and they are addicting! My favorite is the Sour Skittles and my least favorite is the Smoothies Skittles.

I saw the new Skittles Chocolate mix the other day at Walgreen's. However, the one that i saw was in a big bag. I am going to wait for the small package.

I finally tried the new Chocolate Mix Skittles at 7'Eleven today and I was excited to try them. There are 5 flavors and they are smores, vanilla, chocolate caramel, chocolate pudding and brownie batter. In terms of flavor, my favorite is Vanilla and the least is brownie batter which for me tasted artificial. Overall, it is worth the try but i certainly will not buy these again.

This Pop Rocks Christmas edition featured Candy Cane flavored is very disappointing. It lacks a strong peppermint flavor and it is only good for making 'popping sounds' in your mouth.

Manufacture: Brach's Confections, INC.

Origin: Argentina

Purchase from Walgreen's at Chestnut St, San Francisco

If you are craving for a soda and you cant find it anywhere, this soda poppers candies will satisfy you well. These hard filled candies comes in four very popular soda; 7up,A&W,Dr.Peppers and Crush Orange. Each one of these candies have a distinct soda's smell. They taste like a flat soda. However, they are too sweet for me and it taste like eating pure sugar.

Red Hots Cinnamon Candy

Type: Cinnamon flavored candy
Origin:U.S.A
Manufacture: Ferrara Pan
Purchase from a liquor store at Filmore St, San Francisco

I am not a big fan of Cinnamon flavored candy or gum and prefer mint over cinnamon so, i really didn't think i would like these as much. But what persuaded me to purchase this candy were the price and the packaging. For 25 cent, a fat free food and only 100 calories, i could not resist! In appearance, the candy is radiant red and looks like a mini M&M''s.

The outer shell is heavily cinnamon, if you keep sucking on it, it is fiercely spicy and hot but not unbearable then slowly turn to sweetness.

Tootsie Roll

Type: Chocolate chewy candy
Origin: U.S.A
Manufacture : Tootsie Roll Industry Inc
Purchase from a Liquor store at Eddy St, San Francisco

Most people in America love Tootsie Roll. Tootsie Roll for many Americans have been a nostalgic childhood memories. I was very curious to know if i would feel the same way towards Tootsie Roll. Are they really that good?

The first time i tried this candy, i did not like it. I had a couple of them and still could not understand why people like them. It is soft, chewy and it has a good texture but no flavour. I was expecting an intense chocolate experience in my mouth. For me, it tasted artificial sort off like a card box. However, i tried other Tootsie Roll's products. They make it in vanilla, lime, cherry and lemon flavour and they are very good. I especially like the lime and vanilla flavour.

Candy Corn Taffy

Type: Candy Corn Taffy

Origin:U.S.A.

Manufacture : Sweet Candy Company

Purchase from Walgreen's at Divisadero St, San Francisco

I found this bag of candy among the 75 % sale candy bin after the Halloween was over at Walgreen's. I have seen Hersey's kisses candy corn and Brach's candy corn but i have never seen candy corn taffy. Let me remind you! i do not like anything that stuck to my gum uncomfortably. So, i was pretty skeptical and quiet excited to how this taffy turned out. As i made my way to the cash register, i eagerly open the bag and took one to my mouth....

I was pleasantly surprised and actually enjoyed this candy. It has a shiny appearance, soft and flavourful. It taste more of a caramel flavour than candy corn.
