These are not too sweet they’re just right. My favorite Mike and Ikes were the Jolly Joes (all grape) but they got discontinued. Tropical Twister and Italian Ice round out the rest of my faves.

That exact same thing happened to me this past weekend! I’m walking through Walgreen’s, just about to check out, when I see one different looking box of Mike & Ike’s in the middle of the big pile of theater candy. It happened to be the Italian Ice variety and I, of course, scooped it up right away. I’d rank them about the same (or a little lower) than the Lemonade blend, which I loved. They definitely had a more intense flavor than the originals. I’d pick up another box if I saw them again (which I sorta hope to!)

I’ll be on the look out for the Italian Ice ones. They sound good! They sound sort of like a candy I vaguely remember… I think they were sort of a Mike & Ike knock-off of some sort. I just remember they were a lot more sour than Mike & Ike’s, and the coating on all of them was almost opaque white so you could barely see the color of the gel in the middle.

I just found these this past weekend and thought the flavors were very interesting but didn’t buy them as they stick to my teeth :(

i never buy these because they always seem too sweet. the italian ice variety sounds pretty good. if there’s more sour, then maybe that’ll cut the sweet some.
