Two for Thursday: Candy and Cake



 Well, since it is Thursday, also known as Throwback Thursday, I thought I would review a candy from my childhood, Fireball. I remember eating this spicy candy with my dad in his friend's glass shop. This cinnamon flavored candy is as spicy as I remember. After popping it in my mouth, it was not that spicy but as I sucked on it, it got spicier. The hot cinnamon flavor burns a little as I swallow. It makes me wish I could breath fire. After a few minutes, the flavor calms down since all the color as well as flavor is gone. My fireball has changed from red to white, almost like the flavor has surrendered. I also tried the alcoholic version, Fireball whiskey. It tastes just like the candy but is too spicy for more than one shot.

To calm down my mouth from all that cinnamon spice, I decided to try Project 7's Birthday Cake Gourmet Gum. It definitely took away the heat from the candy and filled my mouth with the taste of vanilla cake. It is a little too sweet for my taste buds and also tastes like colored sprinkles. The good thing about this gum is that it does not lose its flavor and lasts a long time.
