Tasting The Skittles Blenders Rainbow
Jan 23, 2012
Today at the gas station I noticed a new flavor of Skittles called Skittles Blenders. Curious about this new product, I decided to pick up a pack. I’ve been a Skittles fan for quite a while. I’m always looking for low-fat candies that fulfill my sweet tooth without giving me a ton of saturated fat that is so bad for me. After doing some research I found out that Blenders are the latest product introduced by Skittles and they came out in 2011. After anxiously tearing open the pack and spilling a few on the ground, I realized that Skittle Blenders taste a lot like Tropical Fruit Starbursts.
Skittle Blenders come in five flavors – Melon Berry Burst, Strawberry Lime Blast, Cherry Tropicolada, Watermelon Green Apple Freeze and Mango Lemonade Freeze. In case you were wondering, the theme here is that each piece of candy has two flavors blended together giving them a new unique taste. The colors of these Skittles are also different than the color of original Skittles. Personally I don’t find Blenders to taste better than original. There are already so many combinations of pieces that you can eat with original Skittles that Blenders doesn’t really add to much for me. Pick up a pack at your local gas station and judge for yourself.
How Much Sugar is in That?
May 6, 2009
Ever wonder how much sugar you’re really eating or drinking when you’re enjoying your favorite tasty treat? The website http://www.sugarstacks.com/ will let you know through pictures that show the snack along with sugar cubes symbolizing the amount of sugar in that snack. The results are a bit surprising. One can of soda for example which I thought would only have two or three sugar cubes worth of sugar turns out to have nine and a half cubes worth of sugar. a Cinnabun roll has fourteen!

Mario Wedding Cake Looks Too Good To Eat
Jul 21, 2008
I’m not sure if there’s a good way to preserve cake and keep it on display but this cake is too beautiful to eat. Despite this cake probably costing more than some whole weddings would, dining with this much style would almost be worth it. The great thing about this cake is that the mushrooms which look to be made of pure sugar, really would give you a ton of power. More pics of this awesome cake can be found here.
