Trying to get your kids to eat their spinach (though you may not want to with the recent spinach problems in the U.S.)? Why not try these cheese and spinach candy-shaped raviolis?
By using two different colors of home-made pasta (one with semolina, the other with tomato puree), Gattina has created an irresistable yet healthy meal. I don’t know a single kid who could resist this fun dish!
When I saw these tasty looking little bears in one of my favorite Cape Cod candy shops, I just knew I had to have them. Gum drops plus licorice in a cute little bear shaped package… what could be better? The bears are larger than a regular gumdrop, but are the same texture and consistency. They are covered in granulated sugar, and all are black.
At first taste, it’s hard to even tell that anise is an ingredient in these tasty little cubs. They are very sweet, and the anise flavoring, which is milder than licorice root, is almost difficult to distinguish. I would even hazard to say that someone who doesn’t typically like licorice might find these acceptable. For those of us who happen to love licorice, these are so mild that it’s nearly impossible to get too much of the delicious flavor.
If I had to find one fault with this selection, it would only be that the bears are a little too large to eat comfortably in one bite. Despite that, these were definitely one of my better buys, and I would highly recommend them, both to those who join me in licorice addiction, and those who just enjoy a really good gumdrop.

Once again I have stumbled upon another oddly-named candy – this time it’s Fizzy Creaming Soda Candy. According to the website, it comes in ” Ruspberry and Soda Flavour”. I can only assume they meant cream soda – or maybe even creamy soda. I’m not going to try and read anything else into that name. The company that makes it, Excel/Naveed Enterprises, is based in Pakistan.
First-time film director Ruben Fleisher is currently working on a movie which revolves around a 26 year old who buys the rarest PEZ dispenser in the world, the Psycho Funky Chimp (a fictional PEZ dispenser). Once the 26 year old main character (yet uncast) purchases the Psycho Funky Chimp dispenser, it attracts all manner of ne’er-do-wells, thieves, and fanboys.
The script will be written by Michael Bacall (who’s acted in a bunch of things, but hasn’t written much), and produced by Todd Phillips in association with MTV Films. Todd Phillips directed Old School, Road Trip, and School For Scoundrels. MTV Films brought you films like Napolean Dynamite, Hustle and Flow, and the original Jackass movie.
Only time will tell if this movie ever gets finished and released, as it’s still in the very early stages of being just a spec script. I hope it does though, because I’m sure it would bring with it a whole slew of new PEZ collectibles, and I’d imagine some sort of actual Psycho Funky Chimp dispenser. I can only hold my breath and wait in PWZ-fanboy-anticipation.
