Au’some Candies is showing some great new products at the All Candy Expo in June. They are listed below, but my favorite is the Bubble Roll Message Maker (seen above). It’s like one of those old labelmakers for labeling stuff around you house- only the labels are gum! The best part is you don’t have to buy any proprietary-shaped gum – it takes ANY bubble tape from any maker! GENIUS! Kids can send notes in class then chew the evidence! How cool!
Other new products from Au’some Candies:
- Florida’s Natural Fruit Juice Strings & Nuggets: Made with real fruit and fruit juices, they are 64-66% fruit, give 100% RDA of vitamin C, have no artificial flavors or colors, no preservatives, no fats, no nuts, no gelatine, are kosher, and are packed with flavor. The Fruit Juice Strings are sour and the Fruit Juice Nuggets are sweet.
- American Idol – Pop Mic: has light, rhythm & candy, sure to keep your pulse jumping. The Pop-Mic is a lollipop top with an illuminated light, and the bottom is filled with delicious fruit-flavored bubble gum. 3 Fantastic Beats to choose from! Available Flavors: Strawberry, Apple & Blue Raspberry
- Betty Boop Sweet Talker: Betty lights up, teases with a little
saying, and has a heart-shaped lollipop with 3D Betty gummies.
I’ve never been big on novelty stuff, but that bubble tape message maker is pretty cool.
I used to love making labels for things with dymo guns (which also doubled as a phaser for toy-challenged kids stuck at their parents’ office).
I’ve had the Fruit Juice nuggets. They are pretty good, but they have a weird aftertaste. But they really taste like fruit, unlike all the other fruit snacks that are just glorified gummis! (Not that there’s ANYTHING wrong with that…)
