21:41 - Mad Dawg™ Has Bite
|
(top)  |
Drew and Jareth strike again! This time it's with a bizarre new twist on candy that seems to be a combination of just about every extreme, "special-effects" candy on the market. It's called "Mad Dawg", and (c'mon, ignore what the tube looks like) it's like a cross-pollination of Pop Rocks, that stuff that foams in your mouth, citric-acid-heavy powder, the stuff that turns your tongue purple, and gum.
Pouring a mouthful of this stuff is like taking a swig of really hot tea: at first, you don't know whether it's really really hot or really really cold, and it takes a few seconds for you to tell what kind of agony you're in for. With Mad Dawg™, it's a rush of sharp, liquid sour more than anything else, filling the corners of your mouth and making you cough involuntarily, no matter how you might be enjoying the taste.
One weird thing about this candy is that the walls of the tube are so thick that from the outside, it looks like there's about three times as much powder inside as there really is. It's a triumph of geometry, really.
If this candy were bad, I'd send it to bad-candy.com; the guys there would undoubtedly have a fine old time writing about the horror of their Mad Dawg™ experience. But this candy isn't bad. It's in fact very good, and I need to find out where they got it from. 'Cause I want more.
