Shocking Popping Candy Vodka

Pop Rocks. Sort of a bane of my vodka flavouring experience. Mind you this is just popping candy, but I put it in the same boat. They're more of a novelty than an actual candy because they disappear so fast. There isn't too much flavouring, so you don't get to flavour a drink efficiently. Secondly the novelty of the popping candy would be lost after infusing a drink, so there isn't much of a reason to do it.
Hoping that my problem was strictly that I didn't have enough pop rocks, I decided to double down. Then I doubled it again to be sure I was right.

Fruit Filled Candy Vodka

I believe that fruit filled candy, and probably one of the most common candies out there. I remember having a supply of them when going over to grandma's house, and I'm pretty sure you did too. They were always wrapped in a piece of plastic with an image of what flavour they were inside. I thought that they would have a fancier name, but it turns out that isn't the case at all. Wowzers.
Here is a whole bag I was able to procure. Still nothing too fancy about it.
I opened it up too quickly, and it kind of exploded. My bad.

Double Lollies Vodka

Double Lollies are normally a candy given out at Halloween. It's a mix of multiple flavours of sugar, which pretty much taste the same. I remember one person saying that the flavour is complex, because it slowly changes as you lick them, and mix different quantities of the mix together. For me? I think that's BS, but I thought I'd add it anyways.
And here we have a full bag of these. It is brought out by the same people that bring you Smarties/Rockets. Those didn't turn out too well though.
I figured a trinity of these would be enough to fill up our vessel.

Certs Vodka

Certs is a breath freshening candy, which has been around for years. Their claim to fame is Retsyn, a compound that gives it a green colour. This was used to make it seem more special than other mints, which allowed them to be the number one breath freshening mint sellers. Good on them! But we don't really care about that. We want to know how it tastes in vodka.
This is how they come, just in a tube like Life Savers.

Cherry Halls Vodka

For a while, I have been a bit under the weather. I have had a bit of a cold. I decided that instead of letting that keep me down, I was going to include it, if possible, for drinks. That's where Halls comes into play.
So just a classic package of them ready to rock.

Green Russian

There is a show called Archer, which happens to be one of my favourite things to watch these days. While it is not as great as previous seasons, there is still quite the allure. Who is his dad? Can he tame the ocelot? How does a Green Russian taste?
A Green Russian is a drink that the HR person named Pam coined. It has two ingredients. One is Absinthe... And the other.

Chiclet Vodka

Since I had completed the Double Bubble Gum Vodka previously, I was curious what Chiclet vodka would taste like. Both seemed to have their bonuses, though one was far more minty.
I got this four pack for $1.00. Then I went to another store and found out if I spent $2.00 there, I could have had 50 boxes of them. Son of a... I say that because I would have added a lot more.

Cherry Mega Sours Vodka

I was stumbling through a candy store, looking for new candies. Lately I have been looking for brand name candies that I haven't done, but most of them have been completed already. This lead me to the fringe. The shop keeper pointed me to these Cherry Mega Sours. He said they were more sour than War Heads, so I knew I had to give them a shot.
These are what they look like up close. I must say that they are certainly more sour than War Heads, though that may be just based on the size. I did notice that my sister was unable to complete finishing one off in a single go, so they do seem to be more sour.

Candy Buttons Vodka

Anyone remember Candy Buttons? As a kid they were just sugary buttons, less than the size of a button, and really they were pure sugar. Remembering that, I decided to melt a couple down for shots!
Here they are in all of their glory.
Each package was double sided, and all the colours are separated. There should be enough to satisfy a few kids!

Peach Slices Candy Cane Vodka

I know I'm a little late on the train for Candy Cane vodka, but it has been a pain to find candy canes that aren't broken. Luckily a family member had been holding these off for me, and now I get to enjoy them with you!
They come in a box of nine, which seems a little odd, but it is what it is. I figure they should come in twelve, like the twelve days of Christmas, but I'm no marketing expert.
Here's a pair of candy canes... Aren't they in love?

Little Rascals Bubblegum Vodka

The Little Rascals have been around a lot longer than I have been alive. Heck, even their reboot movie is practically older than me. With that said, if I am old enough to drink, these Rascals are old enough to drink now too.
Their gum game in a mini-lunch box. It's a nice souvenir if you like to hide things like... Gum... Marbles, and other things inside.

Sucker Punch Vodka

Sucker Punch was a movie, that included nearly naked girls being empowered, while being stuck in an asylum/whore house, and fought off cyber Nazis. It was pretty much a terrible, yet decently looking movie. Alternatively Sucker Punch is also a candy with a gimmick. A punching glove.
Mama said to knock you out.
Blamo!

Vodka Gummy Cherries

Cherry gummies is a staple of my childhood. Going to the store and getting a bunch of them as for 5 cents, was something that finished off many school days. I am not going to explain what they taste like because if you don't know... You're a fool.
Here they are laid out, almost Mario Bros 2 style. If you collect enough of them, you get a star. Well I am ready to be a star.

Maynards Swedish Berries Vodka

Berries. Maynards freaking Swedish Berries. For those who have the misfortune of not having taste these before, they're a firm sweet gummy. They come in bunches normally, though I have seen similar ones on sale for penny candies.
Normally you can find them in a bag like these.
And this is what a bunch of them look like.

Sour Jacks Vodka

Sour Jacks are a candy I picked up from a party store. I don't know how popular they are, but I knew I'd give them a go anyways.
Those wondering what they look like in their packaging, no longer have to wonder.
The flavour distribution seemed to be towards the cherry and orange flavouring, though they did have a disfigured one.

Chews Gum Vodka

Do you know what Chews are? They're normally 1 cent candies, or in the quartre vending machines. They're a sour bubble gum candy, which holds onto their flavour for about 5 seconds. Basically they're cheap candy that disappoints you, just like my ex girlfriend.
It's Chewlicious!

Hello Kitty Vodka

A while back I purchased a tin of Hello Kitty candy because I was low on candy I could infuse. It sat on my shelf for a month, and so I figured I might as well do it. Hello Kitty seems to be a favourite for a lot of girls, especially Japanese one, go crazy for.
Hello Kitty is ready to play.
Anyone up for some Chinese food? It's ready for you. Full of their stars... Wait... Stars?

Bottle Caps Vodka

By request, I have now completed Bottle Caps vodka. These were a little irritating to find, but after traveling about 300 km, I was able to find a place. The lengths I'll go to full-fill a request are too large.
And in case you don't know what they are, here is their packaging. They also come in a bag, but this was all I could find for sale.

Giant Sweetart Chews Vodka

A while back I did Sweetarts, but that wasn't enough for one fan. They wanted me to do Giant Sweetart Chews vodka to see if there were any differences. Wish granted.
So these come in quite a different package than the box. But I like different... It's interesting.
There are also considerably less of them, but what they lose out in size, they make up in colour. This one happens to come in the colours of a street light. Red means stop, yellow means it's about to change, green means go mofo, and purple means you really screwed up.
