Also known as UFO candy, this candy is back from the 50s. These wafers remind me of what the priest puts on everyone’s tongue at communion. These paperlike bubbles come in blue, orange, white and pink and are filled with multicolored beadlike sugar candy balls.

As soon as you drop the UFO into your mouth you taste the plain styrophoam like disc immediately begin to dissolve. As soon is the seal is broken the alien inhabitants pour out and scatter into your mouth taking over. Without you knowing those little sugar beads posses your mind and before you know it, the aliens have succeeded, and you are eating another one.

The sugar candies in the inside are tasty but if you rip open the pouch and just eat the candies they prove to be a little too sweet. They taste especially good after the cardboard tasting piece of styrophome wafer has touched every taste bud on your tongue. Then again, not much would taste bad after cardboard. They figured out (through many tests I’m sure) that the best taste directly after cardboard is little multicolored sugar balls. Try it out, but it won’t be easy to find something that tastes better after cardboard than the little aliens inside the satellite.

Well,  enjoy Satellite Wafers and as you eat them  remember that over 50 years ago kids were doing the exact same thing.
