Full Review:

Bottlecaps!!

Adam ate this on April 1, 2010

POP!! FIZZZ!! SUGAR!! Freaking awesome. Period. There is something magical when you combine the forces of soda and candy. It’s like activating wonder twin powers…or something. Everything about this snack is amazing. The proverbial candy roulette as you pour out a handful and throw back your head just waiting for the flavor battle to begin, the epic 80’s packaging with the bright pink and purple (honestly who else can get away with that?), the fact that every flavor is actually really good unlike a lot of flavor mix jargon (seriously lemon and lime….come on), the candy is shaped like freaking bottlecaps people! and they taste like different flavored sodas! What on earth is there to not like here? I wish real bottles of pop had tops that I could pop off and eat. I’ve tried though and my gums can only bleed so much… Lesson learned I guess.

Favorite flavor or combination of flavors?

1 part red one. 2 parts purple. And if you are feeling super frisky throw in a root beer for some extra punch in your lunch.

Did you finish the whole thing?

2 boxes….Yes the movie size boxes. Sugar coma.

Would you buy it again?

Totally shmotally bro-tally. @rickeyainsworth suggested on Twitter we try to find some of these because he was having no luck and we often freelance as snack detectives. After a little gumshoe-ing (get the snack reference??) I found that Blockbuster is the magical oasis of everything Wonka it seems. Not only was it the only place I found Bottlecaps but I also picked up a few new Wonka treats I had not yet seen.

Napkin needed?

This is one of those rare wet-nap snacks. The candy powder that explodes out of here…..well I feel like I just climbed a mountain Mission Impossible style and I’ve been dipping my hand in the chalk satchel on my belt all day. Only unlike chalk it is delicious. Seriously. Don’t eat chalk….ever. Not kidding. Colors do not equal flavors…. What was I talking about?

Best place to eat to this snack?

Roller rink. Billy Jean playing and I’m wearing acid wash jeans and…. wait a minute this is exactly what I was doing tonight…I’m gonna go watch RAD now.
