Dear Sillies,
I mean, how could I walk by this? Mini GUMMY BEARS on a CHOCOLATE POOL DAY! While on an otherwise dull Trader Joe's shopping trip, I saw them. They saw me. Then they shouted in their quiet, determined, little gummy bear high-pitched voices: "Come on, Robyn. We know you want us!" Would've been rude to keep moving. Right? If you look close, you'll see little tiny gummy bear foot prints, gummy bear underwater gear, gummy bear water noodles.
How was it? It was like candy-coated frosting on steroids. Super sweet in a very kid-friendly way. Friendly to this adult too. The little innocent gummy bears tasted fruity, like jelly, in the mix. But I didn't detect much of the dark chocolate - the white has a stronger flavor. Might be too sweet for ya'all, but not for me. As for health benefits, it's 25% iron! We all need iron!
Those cute little innocent gummy bears continue to celebrate summer's approach, as they float gleefully in my belly.
It was $2 and worth it. But don't say I didn't warn you about its epic sweetness.
I give this one an 8.5.
Take care, my friends.
Get your iron, and your sweetness.
Welcome, My Sillies! Together we'll uncover morsels of sweetness in the light and dark. You'll crave chocolate. I'm a naughty influence. {Note: I avoid Hershey's but partake in regular fixes of fair trade and organic varieties.} Please enjoy a ravenous sampling, and may you fast become addicted. Cheers to all things sweet. That, Dear Sillies, includes you.
25% iron? It's practically HEALTH FOOD!
ReplyDeleteBwahaha! I'm eating and laughing right now.
DeleteThanks, Debra. Very healthy indeed.
It seems like an odd combination but I guess it works. I wonder if they make Gummy Bears floating on a butterscotch pool?
ReplyDeleteOoh, butterscotch. Now that would be worth a try. Glad you can eat butterscoth, Diane.
DeleteYour dedication towards the difficult job of taste testing continues to awe me. An under rated service industry.
ReplyDeleteI aim (towards chocolate) to please my (self) peeps.
DeleteThanks, EC. I agree, I'm under-appreciated for these sacrifices.
;~)
How kind of you to test the proverbial waters for us, dear lady. (I tell ya... such a humanitarian!)
ReplyDeleteI wanted to pop in to thank you for taking time to write a review. Thank you so much! I do appreciate it. :)
Thank you, and you're welcome, my dear.
DeleteKeep shining, lady. You're amazing!
LOL....too cute. I'm not a fan of very sweet, so think I best pass on that, but 25% iron.....wow.
ReplyDeleteI'm growing chest hairs already, Sandy. Ha.
DeleteCheers.
Chocolate gummy bears—that should be a crime, but glad you got your iron.
ReplyDeleteI did it for the iron, Jeff. Anything for iron, and my Sillies.
DeleteI appreciate of you review for all of us
ReplyDeleteAnytime, Tanza, and I really do mean it.
DeleteHey - a sugar coma for $2 - heck yeah...I'm in!
ReplyDeleteThanks for being the intrepid chocolate explorer. You are so brave sacrificing your body for our sake.
Love ya!
Haha. Heck ya!
DeleteLove ya too, Joanne. You're one of the best!
I guess once they are inside floating away they'll iron out the rest of the details.
ReplyDeleteClever, Pat, and they'll make good use of their noodles.
DeleteI’d prefer them with only dark or milk chocolate. But oh so good.
ReplyDeleteI can see and taste that too, Mitchell.
DeleteBe well.
Gummy bears and chocolate... Nope, couldn't do it. But I'm glad you liked them.
ReplyDeleteThey were so cute, until I devoured them. It's not a match made in Heaven, I agree.
DeleteCheers.
How cute. Kid and summer friendly!
ReplyDeleteWhat more could I want, right? Ah, well, where do I start? That's a whole book of its own.
DeleteBe well, my friend.
Glad youve got readers from Mumbai now! You're really getting the word out. Must be all that Iron. 😉😆 From Indonesia to India to CA. You're a Star! 8.5 🤣😃😘😎
ReplyDeleteThe price we must endure for fame and popularity, right, Anthony?
Deletexo
I somehow missed this:) Iron plus the benefits of chocolate...what's not to love?
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there was such a thing as something being too sweet. Better than taking iron pills for sure.
