I've never actually had this happen before... Ok maybe it didn't
happen really, I mean maybe it wasn't me but... well something
happened. Man I can really not complete a sentence today can I?
What happened, in my delusional state, was this. A couple of
years ago I wrote a little article about how cool it would be
if people made gummy candy that actually looks realistic. I was
particularly referring to Gummy worms. I never understood why
they made them bright colours when the opportunity to make them
realistic was there. Sure it's kind of gross but you really can't
go to the store for a bag of gummy worms and not think that's
a little gross, right?
So it would appear that my request has been answered. I'm pretty
happy with the results as well. Well I'm happy about the way they
look, I'm ok with the flavour but the look is great! When you
pull them out of the bag they're all greasy and pretty cool looking.
With a bit of crumbled cookie mixed in they'd be totally unappetising,
and I mean this in the good way.
The flavour was the only part that fell a little short. I'm not
sure what flavour they where supposed to be but all I could taste
was a faint apple. I'd have preferred something a little more
cherry or grape.
