Super Mario 3-Dees Gummies

Once in a while a candy is spotted that has some unique allure. Sometimes it is flavor, sometimes brand, and sometimes it's just something else. Super Mario 3-Dees Gummies fit that something else because it was the packaging, the phrasing of "3 Dees" that made me wonder what a 3 dimensional gummy would be since, weren't they all 3-D?

"It's me! Mario!"
Well I was wrong because 3-D meant no flat back. Think of a gummy bear, where the front is shaped but the back lies flat. These Super Mario Gummies had no flat back and stood like statues on pedestals, reminiscent of the Gummy Venus de Milo from The Simpsons.

Each was a work of art in itself, coming in four different shapes: Mario, Yoshi, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. Four flavors as well, strawberry, watermelon, mixed berry and orange, and they're really good too. The taste and the texture of the gummies are unique and worth a re-tasting. They actually have a snap when you bite the heads of each character!


I'm not sure where to find them but try Amazon. I can't remember seeing something like this in recent memory and I have to say for candy fans, it's worth going out of the way to pick up a package (or 12).
