Bubble Yum Welcomes Hershey’s Chocolate to the Family

February 27, 2007 by

bubbleyum.jpg

I am not a fan of big changes, especially when I’m comfortable with the current state of people, things, and situations. I’m wary when my favorite restaurant hands me a new menu. It even bothered me when Bazooka gum and Cracker Jacks both changed their original packaging. Sure they still taste the same, but why change something that’s been working for ages? Although I am resistant to change, one change in an existing product line both interested and enlightened me, so that even I have to admit this is an improvement of something that was already great.

Let me introduce (Drum roll please) Hershey’s Chocolate Bubble Yum.
Yes, that’s right. A higher power combined the fun of gum-chewing and the sweetness of Hershey’s chocolate to produce a whole new take on chocolate candy. This may be old news to some of you, but I only recently discovered this new invention (probably since it’s so hard to find). I admit when I first heard about it, I was extremely skeptical. I wondered how such a combination would taste. I’m a huge fan of Bubble Yum, particularly watermelon and grape, and I enjoy all kinds of chocolates. As much as I love chocolate and fruity bubblegum individually, I couldn’t imagine how my tongue would receive it.

My verdict: it’s still distinctly Bubble Yum but chocolaty sweet. In fact, if you like Tootsie Rolls, this is the treat for you. Once you get over the initial shock of tasting chewy chocolate, it’s quite deliciously bubblicious. What will they think of next?

Smores: Do It Right

December 15, 2005 by

My roommates and I have a weekly tradition. Every week when we go grocery shopping, we buy a bag of chocolate to eat for the week. Last week, my roommate got miniature Hershey Smores bars. None of us had ever tried them before, so we thought why not?

They were pretty good. Milk chocolate, marshmellow, and graham cracker bits. But something was definitely missing. We finished the bag off in a week, and we of course enjoyed them thoroughly. But I decided that they just couldn’t compare to REAL smores. You know, a graham cracker bottom, a piece of a Hershey bar, a toasted marshmellow, and another graham cracker to top it off. They are just so good!

Of course, you are probably thinking that it’s so much easier to eat a smores bar, then make a real smore. Well, I’m hear to tell you that you don’t need a bonfire to make your smore. My roommates and I live in an apartment. We don’t have a fireplace, let alone a bonfire. But we do have candles! And it works just as well. Just stick a marshmellow on the end of a knife (or if you really want, grab a stick from the backyard) and toast away.

My point is that while a smores bar is good and will satisfy your chocolate craving, if you’re going to have a smores bar, you might as well just do it right. Buy the graham crackers and the hershey bar, and toast your marshmellows! It can’t be beat! So have a smores this holiday season with your family or friends. You will all enjoy it!

Until next time, this is Kandy K…..stay sweet!
