Rest of gummy biding our time.

Podima and Studio are goobers stuck at the rear.

Everyone else is about the place.

And I'd be in vying for the lead if it wasn't for y'all oval office wangling bridge using cheaters.

Challenge I

So unlike some of you fuckers, I actually go outside of my home. When thinking of candy either specifically local to my area or exotic, my ice cream shop immediately comes to mind where they occasionally host weird rear end ice cream flavors, including this past week, dorito flavored ice cream.

I won't lie, it was pretty foul. Unfortunately, upon getting there, the item was so unpopular, it didn't even last a full week on display, so couldn't eat that.

Luckily, I have a mall within biking distance.

Next plan was to stop by the anime weeb store for some of that sweet, sweet Japanese sugar. Main plan? Get a can of Calpis, which me and my American exchange student friends loved while in Japan. If you can't figure out why, just say the name out loud a few times.



But you might be thinking, "Ramos! That's just water, it doesn't count." You're right, I was looking for the soda variant but I wasn't sure that counted either, so time to pull out the big guns.



Welcome to Lolli & Pops, where you can get candy of all varieties from around the world for some amazingly jacked up prices. The plan was to pick up some candy covered crickets from here but apparently that was so unpopular that they dumped that a while ago. Can't imagine why that wouldn't sit well with the American audience.



But yeah, there's a ton of poo poo here. Now to find something suitably "exotic".



Barcelona chocolate, eh? Ehhhh? I got it in the bargain bin for 2 bucks. To give you an idea, that's normally 11 dollars.



Fancy.



True to what the ingredients said on the back, it just ended up tasting like milk chocolate with lemon and juniper flavoring. Woo?

But Ramos, that's just flavored chocolate, that isn't exotic at all!

You're right, that's why I got:



This stuff. Tamarind and hot sauce. Beloved by Hispanic children all over central America. Sadly, I couldn't find something more Nicaraguan like corn cookies but this would do.



You eat it by spraying it onto your tongue but since it's kind of impossible to take a picture with your phone and do that at the same time with my clumsy rear end hands, here's some of it on my finger sliding onto my couch anyway. The flavor was kind of eh, barely tasted the Tamarind and it was mostly lovely hot sauce with a bit more kick and sugar to it.

Good poo poo. A joker is awarded.

...also that tamarind stuff on your fingertip looks gross as hellllllllllll

Woo!

Also, it's mostly water and... hot sauce. It's just pretty lame all around, exactly what I get for fifty cent candy.

Challenge 2

This looks easy.

It also looks like gelatin and not gummies but I also have no idea how gummies are made. Let's roll.



I need to get a camera that doesn't make my apartment look so dingy and dark. Either way, got sugar, powdered gelatin, and apple juice.



Toss everything in.



Put on low heat, stir.



Everything eventually dissolves.



I don't have cute bear molds, so I'll just use a plastic container. I can always chop it up into squares later. Stick it in the fridge.



An hour later and yeap, that sure is gelatin and not gummy candy.
