Halloween Candy Reviews Week 3
This week – a very special edition of Halloween Candy Reviews…
We started this week like we start every other week with a special edition Halloween beverage – Spooookiwi from Jones Soda.
I don’t know if I would call it a kiwi flavor – it’s almost a green apple and very similar in taste to Week 1′s Dread Apple. The soda was almost clear with a hint of a green tinge to it and plenty sweet, but not overly so. I could actually drink an entire glass of it which is pretty impressive as far as Jones Soda goes.
Kraft Jet-Puffed GhostMallows are a fun, spooky take on a familiar favorite. Each bag comes with white, orange, and brown ghost-shaped marshmallows. Unfortunately, the colors do not represent different flavors. I was really hoping the brown ones would be chocolate flavored but sadly they tasted the same as the white and orange ones. For Erin this came as a relief. “I just want regular old marshmallows,” she said. At 99 cents a bag, these are a cheap way to put the spirit of Halloween in your hot chocolate.
Our next item comes from our friends at our favorite local candy shop, The Rocket. These are sour gummy bats. They are pretty decently sized and taste like a mix of Sunkist Fruit Gems and SourPatch Kids. They are a good balance between sweet, sour, and fruity flavor. We both loved these and will be going back for more.
Finally we come to another item from The Rocket – Gummy Flesh Fries. Finger shaped gummies in a french fry box. We had a lot of fun with these: (warning – possibly NSFW pictures)
The fun came to an end when it was time to eat them. I felt like I was eating a piece of record vinyl. It had very strong plastic taste. I couldn’t even swallow it and had to spit it out. Erin followed suit.

The marshmallows were good, but the purple/black/gray ones were extra… gooey? greasy? Still delicious.
The spooookiwi tastes like sour apple cider soda sorta. I’m drinking it as I type this. Its like way over flavored blue shark gummy entities.
I can’t wait until you try the Lemon Drop Dead.
the jones candy corn is out of control… i would down every bottle of it in existence so get them while they last.
I have about eighteen of those angry little werewolves in my fridge that I just can’t will myself to drink, I feel like its giving me diabeetus as I drink it. Fur seals needs to be diluted.
I LOVE the spooookiwi, prolly cuz I like apple-y flavors (and it tastes alot like green apple with the bite removed). I’ll try the candy corn werewolves since ppl are ravin about ‘em.
Haha, nice picture Erin! ;-)
Finger-lickin’ good, eh?
Yeah I’m looking pretty good in that one : ) hahaha … That candy was putrid.
It made me think of the old Monty Python bit with the “crunchy frog” bon-bon. You really put a piece of “Gummy Flesh Fries” in your mouth and thought you were gonna enjoy it? I wouldn’t call false marketing on the manufacturer.
