Johnny Unusual Ate This - A near-weekly series of terrible mistakes

[Johnny Unusual]

Super Blow Pop - Sour Banana/Green Apple

Sour Banana is... I don't think I've seen that.

Not bad at all. I think the flavour works. No strong opinion of the gum inside.

Tropical Splash Gummies

Each is shaped like a tropical cocktail with a citrus round in it.

These were pretty good gummies. Nice texture and flavour, which is the thing you want from gummies

Pop Rocks Tropical Punch

I got a LOT of these to try now.

The punch isn't that good. Not terrible but dull.

M&M Minis Peanut Butter

Curious to see how much PB is in it.

I feel like this was a hard one to do right to begin with but the PB overpowers the chocolate, though they are both in there.

uffy Stuff Unicorn Sherbet Cotton Candy

Made from the best stuff.

Went to crystal a little too much.

Chupa Chups Mango Soda

Curious since Chupa Chups are the king of lollipops.

Pretty solid mango soda

Reese Peanut Butter Hearts

This time, regular chocolate.

It's flatter so I feel like the ratio is better. I love PB but too much is always a no go for me.

Sour Candy Necklace

A classic of the childhood delight of wearing your candy. Not hygienic, but fun.

Not bad. Old school candy flavour.

Lay's Roasted Garlic Oyster Flavour

These Chinese ones have been interesting for sure.

I... didn't like this much. At all. The flavour is too strong and made me a little queasy. While I like seafood, I've never been an oyster guy.

 

[Kirin]

Yeah I picked up some other Asian seafood flavor Lays a little while ago and they were *interesting* but I could only eat a few at a time before I was done.

 

[Johnny Unusual]

Easter

Sparkling Chupa Chups Melon & Cream

Another Chupa soda!

Lay's Numb and Spicy Hot Pot Flavour

When I was living in China, my co-workers ALWAYS wanted to take me out for hot pot. I liked it but common, Chinese food has so much to offer. I want to go try different stuff!

Candy Sips Candy Straws

If this winter refuses to go away then I will prepare accordingly.

Kinder Surprise

The one specifically Easter thing I got for Easter.

Mini Rainbow Belt Pieces

Belts don't do their job when cut like this.

Hannah's Big Pickled Sausage

I think there's a lot to dig into but I feel like the girldick euphemism is trying to obfuscate that Hannah is a big and the sausage is made with chicken and beef.

Sweet Sixteen Gummi Bear

I had and liked this before. But this time it's blue.

Milk Chocolate Jube Jubes

Sure! Sounds good to me. But pour milk chocolate over most candies and you have a good start.

Pop Rocks Strawberry

Pop rock journey continues.

 

[LBD_Nytetrayn]

Kinder Surprise

The one specifically Easter thing I got for Easter.

This is an Easter thing?

 

[Johnny Unusual]

This is an Easter thing?

By virtue of being an egg.

 

[LBD_Nytetrayn]

Fair enough!

 

[Johnny Unusual]

Sparkling Chupa Chups Melon & Cream

Another Chupa soda!

Pretty good. I'm not a cream soda guy but this really works. I think I like it more than matching cream with strawberry.

Lay's Numb and Spicy Hot Pot Flavour

When I was living in China, my co-workers ALWAYS wanted to take me out for hot pot. I liked it but common, Chinese food has so much to offer. I want to go try different stuff!

The flavour was nostalgic and I think I liked it best of the Chinese flavours I had. I won't give a strong thumbs up but it's decent. Not "numbing" but good.

Candy Sips Candy Straws

If this winter refuses to go away then I will prepare accordingly.

These are mostly good. I had them with hot cocoa and they work well with the flavours getting into the cocoa. That said, sometimes they don't just melt so don't actually use them to stir or they will likely break,

Kinder Surprise

The one specifically Easter thing I got for Easter.

I don't now I've ever had one so I assumed from looking the flavour would be a fakey plasticky chocolate. In fact, it is really high quality stuff. And there was a robot inside. Strong recommendation.

Mini Rainbow Belt Pieces

Belts don't do their job when cut like this.

I could recognize the flavour but I couldn't pinpoint it. Blue raspberry maybe. They weren't bad, though. I think it being sour added a lot but the flavour was pronounced in a good way.

Hannah's Big Pickled Sausage

I think there's a lot to dig into but I feel like the girldick euphemism is trying to obfuscate that Hannah is a big and the sausage is made with chicken and beef.

I'm not a big vinegar/pickle guy so the first few bites I found a bit strong. If that's your bag, you might enjoy it. Me, I decided to put it in the air fryer after, then put it in a hot dog bun with ketchup and mustard. That helped compliment the vinegar.

Sweet Sixteen Gummi Bear

I had and liked this before. But this time it's blue.

Now THIS is clearly blue raspberry. Not bad. Good gummies.

Milk Chocolate Jube Jubes

Sure! Sounds good to me. But pour milk chocolate over most candies and you have a good start.

These were quite delicious. Very decent quality for both the chocolate and the jubes.

Pop Rocks Strawberry

Pop rock journey continues.

Eh, another flavour that didn't do much for me. I wish these were more tart.

Today

Bunnytail Lane Bunny Gummies

I can feel their disappointing taste through the box.

Monkey Swing

Though Bunny Gummies are still probably better than this.

Sparkling Chupa Chups Raspberry and Cream

Cream worked well for melon.

Dubble Bubble Eggs

Why are eggs in a milk carton? Why is gum in a milk carton?

Lay's Avacado and Mustard

...ok.

Dairy Milk Mini Eggs

Dairy Milk is a quality brand.

Happy Easter

Comes pre-decapitated.

Reese's Pieces Carrot

They just had too many orange ones.

Peeps Marshmallow Sparkly Wild Berry

I feel like unicorn resurgence came from "lol random" Lisa Frank references on the internet, then kids saw it and they got no irony filter, so they are like "Cool! Unicorns!"

 

[Kirin]

That sounds about right on the unicorns.

I’m genuinely intrigued by avocado-mustard chips. Sounds pretty decent.

 

[Johnny Unusual]

Bunnytail Lane Bunny Gummies

I can feel their disappointing taste through the box.

Oh, these were better than expected. I thought these were going to be weirdly tough and closer to jube jubes but they are just decent gummies.

Monkey Swing

Though Bunny Gummies are still probably better than this.

This was about what I expected. So I was still right here.

Sparkling Chupa Chups Raspberry and Cream

Cream worked well for melon.

Oh, this is nice. I really like these despite usually not liking cream soda. I think the fruit and cream works together more than just cream or, in many cases, just fruit.

Dubble Bubble Eggs

Why are eggs in a milk carton? Why is gum in a milk carton?

There was a bit more to this than I expected. They were bigger than I thought, about the size of a chocolate egg. And they had a flavour with some sugary crust on the outside a bit like a cheaper jelly bean (but not in a bad way). More interesting than I expected.

Lay's Avacado and Mustard

...ok.

These were good. The flavour itself was super mild. I expected that from avocado but the mustard taste is present but light. Still, they made for a pleasant eat and I was quick to munch them down. There are better ones with more interesting flavours but this was still pleasant and if you like avocado, there's a good chance you'll enjoy it.

Dairy Milk Mini Eggs

Dairy Milk is a quality brand.

Pretty good. I don't have a lot to say. I feel like they are good together but not better than the sum of their parts.

Happy Easter

Comes pre-decapitated.

It wasn't quite plasticky or completely fakey. I could tell it wasn't the highest quality chocolate but better than I expected.

Reese's Pieces Carrot

They just had too many orange ones.

Reese's Pieces are... OK. But I much prefer them in small doses.

Peeps Marshmallow Sparkly Wild Berry

I feel like unicorn resurgence came from "lol random" Lisa Frank references on the internet, then kids saw it and they got no irony filter, so they are like "Cool! Unicorns!"

The flavour is stronger than I expected. If you see a peep with flavour sprinkles, you'd do well to get them.

 

[LBD_Nytetrayn]

I wonder how I'd like the Lay's. I love mustard, but generally don't like avocado and the like, even though that's more of a texture thing.

 

[Johnny Unusual]

Tuesday, some more Easter leftovers.

MrBeast Bar - Quinoa Chocolate Crunch

A chocolate bar that reflects the flavour of... look, I have no idea what this guy does. All I know is one of the kids in the afterschool centre is obsessed with him.

Easter Grass Bubblegum

Finally, you can EAT your chocolate egg garnish.

Mike and Ike Original Fruits Heart

Oh, and one Valentine's thing.

Lay's Black Steak Truffle

We didn't come here to look for trouble
We just came here to do
The Black Steak Truffle

Springtime Dots

Are any of the flavours like mango and pineapple "springtime" flavours?

Wacky Monkey 2

The Legend of Curly's Gold

Faygo Arctic Sun

The unofficial soft drink of the Insane Clown Posse.

Doublecrisp Eggs

I've been wrong before but my heart is saying "oh no."

Jean-Talon Chocolate

I don't associate cats with Easter but Jean Talon is a top tier name for a French cat.

 

[LBD_Nytetrayn]

Lay's Black Steak Truffle

We didn't come here to look for trouble
We just came here to do
The Black Steak Truffle

Oh, I've had those! I think. I can't read it, but that looks like the kind I had.

Jean-Talon Chocolate

I don't associate cats with Easter but Jean Talon is a top tier name for a French cat.

I can only snap a chocolate bunny's neck (and ears, etc.) if I have it facing the other way and I don't look at it. Not sure I could manage with a cat.

 

[Kirin]

I can't say I've ever imagined the Arctic sun to have a particular flavor...

 

[Johnny Unusual]

MrBeast Bar - Quinoa Chocolate Crunch

A chocolate bar that reflects the flavour of... look, I have no idea what this guy does. All I know is one of the kids in the afterschool centre is obsessed with him.

Bleh. It's just a dark chocolate bar, not a good one either. Not even tasting/feeling the quinoa. It's a big nothing.

Easter Grass Bubblegum

Finally, you can EAT your chocolate egg garnish.

Serviceable and subpar Big League Chew.

Mike and Ike Original Fruits Heart

Oh, and one Valentine's thing.

There are less Mike and Ikes than in a regular box. It's mostly just heart with little else.

Lay's Black Steak Truffle

We didn't come here to look for trouble
We just came here to do
The Black Steak Truffle

This... it has a problem I have with a lot of Asian chips which is it has a taste that is too sweet. Really made it a lot less enjoyable. The avocado/mustard version didn't have that problem.

Springtime Dots

Are any of the flavours like mango and pineapple "springtime" flavours?

Decent jubes but I always prefer gummi to jubes. So all jubes have an uphill battle to me.

Wacky Monkey 2

The Legend of Curly's Gold

Yep, some sub Runts shit here.

Faygo Arctic Sun

The unofficial soft drink of the Insane Clown Posse.

This was better than I expected. I guess I assumed the connection to ICP was they were enjoying it ironically but it's a solid drink.

Doublecrisp Eggs

I've been wrong before but my heart is saying "oh no."

Ugh, this was "chocolatey" but not actual chocolate. So it's bad.

Jean-Talon Chocolate

I don't associate cats with Easter but Jean Talon is a top tier name for a French cat.

This was decent. The big cat was decent.

 

[Daikaiju]

It's a big nothing.

Not unlike it's namesake!

 

[Johnny Unusual]

Wednesday

Ghost Lemon Lime

The energy drink that reminds you of your own mortality.

Sour Patch Bunnies

I assume they are the ones feeding on the Sour Patch Kids.

Sweetarts Rope - Sour Strawberry

Sweetarts - now in non-sweetart form.

Bubblegum Eggs

Like the last time but not a recognizable brand.

Mr. Beast Bar - Chocolate Sea Salt

Ooo, this is going to be worse than the last one, huh.

Bunny Treats DoubleCrisp Carrots

Really didn't like DoubleCrisp the last time so I imagine this won't be good either.

DoubleCrisp Lil' Crispy

NOOOOOOOO

Sharkbite Grape

Pretty sure I had this when it was a crocodile.

Senbei Crackers

Oh, these are the rough-outside-style senbei crackers (I think they are senbei or at least senbei adjacent). I think the receipt had a more generic English name that gave neither brand nor Japanese name. Anyway, when I had them in Japan, I wasn't super big on them. Time to give them another type

 

[LBD_Nytetrayn]

Ooh, looking forward to hearing about the SweeTarts rope.

...wait, did they change the spelling on me?!

 

[Daikaiju]

Senbei Crackers

Oh I've had this type before. Definitely prefer them to the smaller smooth ones.

 

[Johnny Unusual]

...wait, did they change the spelling on me?!

r-o-p-e, looks the same to me.

 

[LBD_Nytetrayn]

I realize you're probably joking, but just in case: No, I mean for as long as I can remember, it's been SweeTarts, with one T in the middle.

But that logo breaks it into two words, the first ending in T and the second starting with T, so now there are two. Did they change it to this at some point?

 

[Torzelbaum]

I just did a Google search and it looks like that's only done for that type of packaging.

 

[LBD_Nytetrayn]

I just did a Google search and it looks like that's only done for that type of packaging.

Ah, thanks!
