Super Mario 3-Dees Gummies

I love gummy bears. Its true! There is just something about gummy stuff that tastes so good. Whether they are traditional gummy bears, worms, or even a more modern gummysaver. So when i saw Super Mario 3-Dees at 711 I jumped on it. Unfortunately these gummies are more sparkle than substance.

The amount of gummies you get isn’t very satisfying and the trade off is supposed to be the look of the gummies. As you can see in pictures included in this review some of these gummies aren’t easy to tell what they are supposed to be shaped like. Donkey Kong and Yoshi are crystal clear but I also ate a Dixie Kong (that could have been Diddy) or Dixie. I also chowed down on a Mario Brother who I would have assumed was Luigi based off the blue color but their were repeating gummies of Yoshi and DK in different colors and flavors,

The watermelon flavor isn’t bad or good, it falls into an indeterminable middle ground. The berry flavor is revolting and tastes more like flavorless gummy. The point of a gummy is that they have a taste that distracts from the gelatin blandness! The strawberry flavor was sweet but had a short lifespan like a piece of Juicy Fruit. The orange flavor was easily the best, giving both a lasting taste and a burst of orange goodness.

What 3-Dees Gummies needs is more gummy, more flavor, and better flavor. Essentially this is a terrible product and you’d be fine to pass up on these. Out of four flavors only one really succeeds and hits the bullseye. This wouldn’t be a bad thing but the other three flavors can be described in one word each as: ok, flavorless, and decent.

Strongest Flavor: Orange, had the kick and lasting flavor

Weakest Flavor: Berry, flavorless

Final Verdict: D

Ben & Jerry’s Late Night Snack

When I think of anything delicious, frozen, or sweet an image of Jimmy Fallon does not appear. When I think of the man that follows Leno now I think of blown SNL skits, and a movie with Queen Latifah involving a taxi. Late Night Snack is a Ben & Jerry Flavor that Jimmy himself loves. This thing has potato chips in it so Fallon is crazy and has awful comedic timing.

The scary part of this ice cream is also its main draw, the potato chips. Thankfully even after looking I couldn’t tell where they were. The Ice Cream looks like a normal vanilla with bits and goodies inside.

Salty and Sweet is a forbidden dance this Ice Cream does do well. Add in the caramel’s low level spice factor and it is a great combo. I think the potato chips were actually the lamest flavor here. They were just kind of there and I could have done with or without them without noticing

I’m actually satisfied with this product, maybe a distinct flavor for the chips would have been better. The taste is creamy with the pieces giving it a more complex taste but it never comes off like your eating potato chips from a bag.

Strongest Flavor: Salty Caramel

Weakest Flavor: Potato Chips

Verdict: B
