Latest Love <3 "Carbonated Candy"

On one of the many stops the family made during our trip to Laughlin late last month we happened upon this sprawling truck stop that harbored a plethora of chemical-infused goodies. It's one of the best things about traveling: discovering the latest candy/snack innovations. I found a doozy this time around. I've fallen head-over-heels in love with the latest and greatest from the wizards and geniuses at the Jones Soda Co.: Jones Soda Co. Carbonated Candy. :D

By themselves they're nothing more than miniature Pop Rocks-lite hard candy tablets, but mixed with your favorite soda they're an entirely new beast. They're these wonderful flavor tabs, inspired by the most popular Jones Soda flavors (my favorite being Cream Soda. Mmmm...). They're a revelation. :P They transform the most mediocre sodas into something divine. ;) I've been using them a lot lately, which might become a problem. For one, I don't wanna become a Coke fiend and secondly, I have a limited supply that I need to conserve. I suppose I could find them around here but I haven't looked around so I'm assuming they're rare. Anyway, I'm enjoying what I got right now. I'm especially enjoying the ritual of mixing the tabs in the soda 'cause I feel part mad scientist and part prescription med junkie. :P It doesn't help that the pop and fizzle of the interaction between the soda and candy creates a powdery residue around the lip of the cup that gives the illusion that I'm lacing my drinks with cocaine. :P It's pretty funny... "and tasty too!". ;)

DS333, in love.
