Poppin’ Tinglin’ Tinglerz

Today we’re looking at Wonka Tinglerz. At first the question is asked “is this something I should be putting in my mouth?” The description and explosive pictures of craziness on the package indicate that doing so might make my mouth explode. Or be useless for any future foods consumed. Taste buds beware because you’re about to receive a blast of chocolate and tingling!

Packaging:

It’s metallic purple, full of words that are so cool that they don’t need a “g” at end of the “ing” and a cartoon character with a giant red tongue that is being assaulted by the Tinglerz. I’m not sure if the English major in me is offended or amused.

Appearance:

They look like chocolate nerds. Sure Wonka is the purveyor of the Nerds so it’s OK if they copy themselves for their new product. They look shiny and waxy.

Appearance Inside:

Clearly crisped rice is inside and nothing else. Or is there? Lurking in there is less than 1% carbon dioxide which must be what creates the tingling!

Taste:

It’s chocolate coated Pop Rocks! With a slight fruity hint and crisped rice that gets stuck in your teeth! For maximum effect, eat a mouthful, so that both sides of your mouth are chewing on these and you’ll think that your head might explode.

This candy is for older elementary school children and drunk college kids. And no one else.
