Our Cream Soda Dum Dums are a mixture of tropical fruit & vanilla to create the delicious flavor!!May 13, 2016 The Breakdown:The sweet gets sweeter with a clever and well-executed recontextualization of cotton candy-flavored candy flavor-even if long-term exposure can leave you as lightheaded as a day spent on the Tilt-A-Whirl.Likewise, What flavor is cream soda Dum Dum? The Bowl:Cap’n Crunch’s Cotton Candy Crunch Though here’s hoping the Cap’n brings back the colors for next year’s Baby Shower Crunch.
It’s better than Blueberry Pancake Crunch, but not quite as glorious as Orange Creampop Crunch, making a bowl of Cotton Candy Crunch the ultimate summer fling you won’t dare mention come September. Otherwise, you risk belching up invisible vape clouds of your own-the kind that will stay preserved in our troposphere until the cataclysmic day the Nameless Cotton Candy Monster absorbs all life into his porous folds.Īll in all, Cotton Candy Crunch is a fun addition to the Cap’n Crunch mythos that rightfully deserves its Limited Edition status. Unless you’re using unsweetened almond or skim milk, this might make a better dry snack for a roadtrip with hitchhiking carnies. The same goes for milk, which gives the cotton candy flavor a more pervasive longevity at the risk of approaching overbearing sweetness. As a novel treat, it’s likely to please the carefree baby teeth still haunting your adult sweet tooth but it’s ultimately a one-note gimmick best savored one bowl and one day at a time. You know, that 100%-sugar-filled straw marketed to middle schoolers who will likely snort them during recess.Ĭap’n Crunch’s take on cotton candy is also very sweet, so while I love the taste of fake cotton candy much more than the vaporous real thing, this is the kind of cereal you’ll probably have to shelve after one bowl. In fact, our Quack Flag-loving friends at Bubble Yum might be the best reference point, since my best attempt at a descriptor would be “strawberry-blueberry bubblegum sucked through an empty Pixy Stix.” If you haven’t tasted artificial cotton candy, then that flavor is a bit difficult to describe, as there’s little else that tastes like it-even real cotton candy is more traditionally sweet than chemically nuanced. Also welcome are the strong classic Crunch Berry undertones, which supplement the overt cotton candy flavor with something less affronting. To me, it most resonantly evokes a nostalgic favorite of mine: the punk-duck-fronted Cotton Candy Bubble Yum. Yes, Cotton Candy Cap’n Crunch is a near-perfect re-creation of the same artificial cotton candy flavor you’ve likely tasted in Dum-Dum suckers, ice cream, sketchy energy drinks, and the vape cloud of that dude in your apartment complex who drinks sketchy energy drinks. The problem with the colors of Cotton Candy Crunch? Its taste is so good that I can’t make a Crunch Berry necklace without awkwardly nibbling at my nape all day. So naturally, I am geeked to see light pink and blue turned into a cereal-especially during Pride month, which I am interpreting as Cap’n Crunch’s support of trans visibility. Those familiar with me in real life know that I am the four-time biggest fan of 2016 Pantone colors of the year Rose Quartz & Serenity, and much of my wardrobe is themed around these vaporwavian hues-if I could wear grandma’s hair as my own, I would. Let’s get the best part out of the way first. Unfortunately, I don’t have a nearby circus or country fair to review (and deep fry) this stuff at, but luckily, I’m enough of a clown that I feel qualified to taste test it from the comfort of my big honkin’ bed. By turning the melt-in-your-mouth ephemera of cotton candy into something crunchy and tongue-stable, the Cap’n is expanding his line of wacky one-offs with Cotton Candy Crunch. Thanks to Quaker and Cap’n Crunch, we now have a new way to talk about cotton candy: with our mouths full. “Better fluff than follicles,” as my clean-shaven dad always said. It was first called ‘dragon’s breath’ in China’s Han dynasty around 200 CE, ‘candy floss’ in many European countries today, ‘sugar spin’ in Norway…’grandma’s hair’ in Greece…and…uhh…’dad’s beard’ in France.Īnd here I thought eating cotton sounded unappealing. Bubble and a loofah, but who also deserves a place at the Halloween breakfast table right next to Chocula and his ilk.īut now that I’ve grown into a bubbly loafer of an adult, I’m just as enthralled with cotton candy’s many monikers around the world. For most of my life, I thought the best thing about cotton candy was its mascot: that nameless pink monster who not only looks like the lovechild of Mr.
