Soda Can Fizzy Candy
I went to the Dollar Tree in search of Easter goodies and came away with this little sixpack. The little pop can looking packages hold 30-35 little carbonated candies in four flavors (two cans each): Grape Splash, Lemon-Lime Sprint, Orange Crash and Loca Cola. The little candies are almost like the original Tart n Tiny candies (except these have a slight dome on either end of the bitty cylindral instead of being flat).
As a novelty item, I think they’re fun. I wouldn’t buy these and shovel them down day after day, but they’re a fun little diversion ... a novelty candy. Because the package comes with six little cans, they might make a nice little theme element if you’re planning a party or gift basket or just a little pick-me-up to leave in a co-worker’s cubicle. Each can contains only 7 grams of candy that adds up to 25 calories. So they certainly have the portion control down. (For a little perspective, the cans are 2” high and 1” in diameter ... in case you were going to look for them at the store and were expecting something as big as the picture on your screen.)

the tiny cans are completely adorable! i’ll look for them at my local dollar tree.
My friend brought some of these to another friend’s house. They’re cute but severely overpriced. She finished the grape before she got here, and I just KNOW I would have liked it best.
Someone on our street gave those away for Halloween last year. My kids loved ‘em, and it was refreshing to see something different amid the piles of mini chocolate bars and lollipops.
They look awesome! Note, look awesome, the taste is no doubt leaves something to be desired.
The taste no doubt leaves something to be desired*
We need an edit function here, I look like an idiot because of that!
I went to my Dollar Tree. They weren’t there. Damn. Same with those Jones Candy. I can’t find those anywhere.
There is a warning on the package that has me worried, in light of the recent tainted pet food filler manufactured in China. The warning:
“This Product May Contain Traces of Dairy, Egg, Gluten (the dangerous pet food additive), Soy, Peanuts, Treenuts, Fish and Seed.”
I would not give this product to my children or my pets.
Just to let everyone know.
Ingredients in green apple: sugar, dextrose, citric acid, sodium bicarbonate, malic acid, natural and artificial flavors, maltodextrin, calcium stearate, colors (yellow #5 lake, blue #1 lake)
That is, in Jones.
Beware (the person who posted the warning):
The warning on the label “This Product may contain traces of...” is for people with allergies to those ingredients. Also, Gluten is NOT a harmful pet food additive. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. Therefore, most wheat based foods- breads, cereal, some pastas, will contain gluten. People who have something called Celiac’s disease (it’s like being allergic to gluten) cannot process gluten and therefore need to avoid foods with gluten in them. This why you’ll see some products have “gluten-free” alternatives” in grocery stores. The harmful pet food additive was melamine. Shipments of wheat gluten used in making the pet food were somehow contaminated with melamine, which among other uses, is used as a fertilizer.

What is gluten: http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-gluten.htm
Gluten is harmless, in fact, it is in stuff we eat every day. Unless you have Celiacs disease, don’t worry about it. That warning is just an allergy warning.
Yes, gluten is hardly a dangerous additive! :D
I Had these before! they are very delish!
