Topps Wild Berriez Wazoo
Finally on one of my candy jaunts a few weeks ago I found it at IT’SUGAR at Universal City Walk (they’re also a few webstores). The bar is rather sought after ... Topps introduced them with a big marketing campaign including TV commercials, then the company that ran the factory that was making them went under. Hopefully Topps will find someone else to gear up to make the bars soon to combat their elusiveness before interest wanes.
This bar is My Little Pony Lilac. The berry scent is actually pretty good, it does smell like raspberry flavor, right down to that woodsy smell that the seeds tend to give jam.
The pink layer is sweet and tastes a bit like cherries & strawberries. It’s soft and chewy and has only the slightest grain to it with a barely perceptible bitter aftertaste (coloring). The yellow layer, well, I had trouble getting it well separated but it tasted about the same, maybe a more yogurty tang to it. The lilac coating is similarly yogurty - sweet but with a slight fruity tartness. Overall, as odd as the bar is, it’s a nice change from the heaviness of chocolate and the lack of a creamy component from fruit chews. The little beads are kind of messy, but as a candy it’s a pretty good new interpretation of the standard bar. I admit, it’s growing on me. The only real disappointment is that the flavor wasn’t that distinct from the Blue Razz. I think for a line of bars like this they should be really different - an orange & lemon one might be fun (kind of like a creamsicle) and probably a cherry one along with the Razz. Or go really off the deep end with a mint bar. Related Candies

Still, it’s pretty terrifying.
Do we have these colors in nature? haha
wow, i’m not sure if i would like this, but am always game to try something that looks this cool. do you know where somebody in the new york area might be able to find this treat without ordering from the internet? i’ll repost if i am able to track one down for other curious candy readers in new york!
I think they should make a lemon-lime flavored Wazoo….I’d try that!
Yuck. No one should eat ugly stuff like this. It’s harmful. Truth be told .... anything from that manufacturer is on my “don’t consume” list.
I coldn’t find the BLue Raspberry wazoo in my area but I did find this bar. It’s so differnt and wonderful like a berry flavor of 3 Musketeers.
So fluffy and light inside. It blew me away in delight.
You can find these at Toys R’ Us. I love this-but then again, I love super sweet stuff.
Man, I love these things. All my friends think it’s disgusting. They’re so tasty and different. Just wish they were a tad bigger and available in more stores around here. Other flavors would be cool too.
P.S. Marcee, most candy that isn’t from some health food store is potentially harmful to your health. That’s why smart people don’t live off of candy.
