You may remember that we mentioned Star Trek Gummies a while back. Well, I finally had my chance to try them at the All Candy Expo and found them delightful.
After introducing myself, a very pleasant gentleman offered to give me a box so I could write a review when I got home. Of course, it turned out that another guy at the booth was completely against the idea – they didn’t have enough, they were sold out, blah blah blah. Nice Guy overrode Mean Guy, though, and slipped me a box so I could revel in the gummy yumminess. (Then he had to tell another lady who wasn’t a preeminent candy reviewer that she couldn’t have any – hah!)

In case you hadn’t heard, the new Star Trek movie is coming out today, and I am one Candy Addict who just can’t wait to see it. I’m not only a Candy Addict, but a geek too! Star Trek is a huge licensing/merchandising opportunity for products (like Star Trek t-shirts) and candy is even joining the fray too.
We wrote about some Star Trek gummies a little while back and the Limited Edition Star Trek Pez is already out and now we find out about more Star Trek candy: Star Trek USS Enterprise Gummi Candy.
We don’t have too much information about them other than they are $5 for a bag (they better taste good at that price) and the extremely cheesy copy on their website:
Delicious Star Trek Enterprise Gummi Candy. The U.S.S. ENTERPRISE has searched the Galaxy for only the finest ingredients and natural flavors to make these flagship miniatures. These Gummi treats are sure to create a galactic explosion of fruity flavors in the mouths of big and little aliens everywhere!
We’ll get a review posted on Candy Addict if we can get our hands on some.
Coming this April, new Star Trek Gummies! They’ll debut just before the new movie comes out. Check out the cool box and (you know it’s coming)… Live Long and Prosper!
