This is why I love candy; I love eating something that freaks
me out but still most likely tastes good. The premise is simple
- a lollypop skull covered in a clear gummy skin. I have to say
that getting through the gummy skin is a little bit of work. The
gummy is really rubbery; I must look really savage ripping at
the skin with the ferocity of a... well, a T-Rex. I'm imagining
myself in the age of the dinosaur taking on a beast in a kill
or be killed battle, except in this case the enemy tastes lemony
and not like a raw lizard.
Now here's the only problem I had with this treat, and unfortunately
it was a big one. You see, by the time I made it through all the
gummy fun, my dino skull had cracked in two and the stick fell
out because if it. I'm not sure if it was because the skull was
too thin, or if it was that I was attacking this treat with such
ferocity. Either way, it did lead to sticky fingers near the end.
The best part about this treat, other than the pretending aspect,
is the fact that the skin and the skull each had two very different
flavours. This treat isn't bad, it just needs a little work on
the strength.
