AriZona Fruit Snack Gummies - AriZona Teas taste test and comparison

It's time for another taste test! Today we're trying AriZona Fruit Snack Gummies! We've previously tried a whole bunch of their different AriZona Tea drinks, but didn't care for any of them too much. Let's see if these gummies can do better! 


While shopping at Big Lots looking for other taste test things, I happened to run across these three different flavors of AriZona Gummy Snacks! I love how, just like the cans, they have printed the price on each bag. 
Today we'll be trying the AriZona Green Tea Fruit Snacks, AriZona Mix Fruit Fruit Snacks, and the AriZona Arnold Palmer Half and Half Fruit Snacks.

Trying all 10 flavors of Frooties Tootsie Roll Candies Taste Test

Today we're going to try all 10 flavors of Toostie Roll Frooties chewy candies! 

Please don't confuse these with Tootsie Roll Fruit Chews, it's something totally different. The kids actually did a Tootsie Roll Fruit Chews taste test back in 2020 when they found all the flavors in their Halloween candy bags. The flavors for that were Cherry, Orange, Lemon, Lime, Vanilla, and Chocolate. 

But Tootsie Rolls Frooties are something completely different! 


The ten flavors that are currently produced are: Grape, Blue Raspberry, Green Apple, Lemon Lime, Mango, Strawberry Lemonade, Watermelon, Sour Cherry, Fruit Punch, and Strawberry (sorted by where they'd best fit in on a rainbow scale). 
Finding all 10 flavors was a challenge. Many were found in the "loose" candy bin. One shop had them for as cheap as 2 for 5 cents, while at others they were $15 a pound! The Blue Raspberry Frooties can be found at Chuck E. Cheese at the prize redemption counter for 15 tickets.

Starburst Sparkling ICE Zero Sugar Sparkling Water Taste Test Comparison

Starbursts are pretty high up there when it comes to our favorite candies. And there's so many different things that try to capture that amazing Starburst flavor. We have certainly tried a lot of them. From Starburst Yogurt, Starburst Gum, Starburst Gelatin, Starburst Fruit By The Foot, Starburst Strawberry Sorbet Bars, Starburst Powdered Drink Mix, Freeze-Dried Starbursts, another Starburst Gelatin, Starburst Airs and Starburst Gummies, and even Starburst Cotton Candy. I'm surprised they haven't attempted a Starburst Cereal yet. 

Today we get to try yet another entry into the Starburst flavor universe. From the Talking Rain Beverage Company, now we have Sparkling Ice Starburst sparkling water!


I'm happy to see that we have all four of the classic flavors. Strawberry, Lemon, Orange, and Cherry. Not like when the Jel Sert gelatin company gave us Strawberry, Lemon, Cherry, and Blue Raspberry, completely ignoring Orange.

Every flavor of Dot's Pretzel taste test - Original, Southwest, Honey Mustard, and Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels

You know, I didn't used to like hard pretzels. Those hard, overly dry, mostly tasteless, alternative to chips. But all that changed when I tried my first Dots Pretzel. Whoa! These are different! They aren't hard at all. Plus they've got a delicious seasoning to them! These I like! 

Well, luckily for me, not only do they have the regular Original flavor, but there's 3 others too! We got together with our friends Alfredo, Nicole, and Jacob to try all of them and give our thoughts! Nicole had asked if we could do a savory taste test instead of a sweet one, like we usually do and this sounded perfect! 


Along with the Original Dot's Homestyle Pretzels, we also have Southwest Seasoned, Cinnamon Sugar Seasoned, and Honey Mustard Seasoned. Can't wait!

2024 Summer Trip - The Return to Colorado - 2024/07/11

It's been a really fun time in Washington visiting my brother and his family, but now it's time to start heading Eastward. When T was looking for flights to get back to Michigan, the best thing she found had us connecting in Denver. Well, if we're going to be in Colorado, why not just spend a few more days with family there before heading on to Michigan?

Red, White, and Blue Olympics Mountain Dew! - Star Spangled Splash, Freedom Fusion, and Liberty Chill Mountain Dew Taste Test

It's Summer-Time and it's the year of the Summer Olympics! We love watching all the different Olympics sports and we cheer loud when we see the Red White and Blue of the United States! Our favorites are Beach Volleyball, Gymnastics, but we've found some new interesting sports too, like Bouldering and Speed Climbing! 

Also this summer, right around July 4th, Mountain Dew came out with 3 new flavors that are colored Red, White, and Blue. Sounds like something any red-blooded American should be drinking while watching the Olympics to me! 


And it's not just the colors that are patriotic. They have patriotic names too! 
Star Spangled Splash, Freedom Fusion, and Liberty Chill.
