Mamba! Mamba! Mamba!

Mamba! Mamba! Mamba! Benjamin ate this on April 28, 2010

For true corner-store kings, bodega-ballers, and snack-sultans…this is the go-to.  Been around forever, long lasting, without question the most bang for your buck, and tht nice subtle flavor.  I mean, what is it?  Twice what you get with Starbursts?  Even its not, it FEELS like its twice.  Mambas are truly my when-in-doubt-on-a-road-trip-and-I-only-have-like-2-minutes-to-pick-something-instead-of-my-usual-20-minutes-of-contemplating-which-snack-best-fits-the-mood-of-the-new-mixtape-I-made-for-the-drive-to-Chicago choice.  Who else is with me?  Plus I love a little gamble every once in a while and I don’t know of any other snacks that randomly select only 3 of their 4 available flavors to throw in the package.

Pros and cons?

Pros: Most bang for your buck.  But when did candy bars hit the $.99 mark???  Cons: Triple packaged!!  I know I’m not the only person to have almost eaten one with the paper wrapper still on it!

Would you buy it again?

More like buy stock in it.  Blue chip of snacks.

Where were you when you at this snack?

Where WASN’T I?  Pretty much everywhere I’ve EVER been in life.  I’ve eaten a lot of Mambas in my day.

High-brow or low-brow?

Like Levi’s 501’s it someone exists between both worlds perfectly.

Did you finish the whole thing?

That’s a lot of taffy hanging in the stomach, but yeah, I did.  Come on, like you really think you’re “just going to save the Raspberry for later.”

And here's what people are saying:

    i just want to say how creepy it is that my thoughts are exactly the same on mambas. i too am a snack fanatic and I too sit for 20 minutes contemplating which candy i feel i should buy that day. thanks for an awesome blog!!!

    btw you should try some candy (if you haven’t already) that is huge in hawaii called ‘li hi mui’. its a powder that they put on different kinds of candy like sour patch kids. :]
