Squeeze Your Tart
Friday, July 28th, 2006 at 2:35 pm
My favorite candy in the world is Sweetarts — those little candy pills that are sweet & tart at the same time. I absolutely adore the flavor combination and can go through a roll or box in no time flat which leaves my tongue numb and my appettite murdered in the corner wallowing in its own blood.
Now Wonka has come out with a new "liquid" form of the candy in little squeeze bottles in two flavors: Wild Cherry & Green Apple. The new product is called Sweetarts Squeez. There is no need for the final ‘e’ in the name. By the time people hopped up on this liquid sugar herorin get to the squeeze part, they’ll already be distracted by something shiny.
I’ve already replaced my regular toothpaste with it. The granules of sugar are certainly scraping away the years of yellowy build-up caused by coffee and Pepsi. Soon I’ll be the poster child of the Carpenters’ song "Sweet, Sweet Smile".

Soon you’ll be on antibiotics AGAIN…good luck with that.
Those look yummmmy. We’ll have to get some for the next trip to the drive in

Squirty liquids are always fun times.

Leslie: Those would be fun for the drive-in.
ikicsi: Had experience with them? :)

ohhhhhhh…I am so coveting those right now. Sweetarts and Skittles…the sugary taste makes you ill after awhile, but you just can’t stop.
July 28th, 2006 at 3:48 pm
Well, with squirty oils…I’m trying to branch out to other liquids as well.

Kath: Try eating them with Pepsi. You’ll be able to see into other dimensions.
ikicsi: Ooooo, girl. You go on wit chur bad self.

Aw, man. Sweet Tarts. We would go to the movies in my hometown (pony up a whole DOLLAR) and .50c for the Sweet Tarts. My brother would get so hopped up on those, my mom begged the lady at the movie theater not to sell them to him anymore.
Memories.

In fact, Sweetarts at movies are a memory. The only place I’ve find them was at the drive-in and the Colorado Center 9 theaters.
Bring ‘em back!

Bring ‘em yourself! :)

GASP! That is soooo wrong!

Wait, is this candy or lubrication? I always get them confused.

And we will never see Howard come down from his sugar high ever again!

This reminds me of the time Wonka came out with liquid smack. No more messy arm tracks!

HDrWife reminded me- DONT LET MATT2 have any of these. It will be much worse than his Frapuccinos before a show. Simply because it will be a continuous stream of sugar for HOURS setting off his ADD (or whatever the hell it is about sugar that turns Matt into the most obnoxious person on the planet over 11 yrs old). We’ll just let him eat all the hot dogs

Cliz: That’d be some rough lube. Ouch.
Hayes: Actually, I can’t eat as much sugar as I once used to.
Jeff: That Wonka! What a great inventor!
Leslie: I can’t stop him from doing that. Hopefully, he’ll hate it or something.
HA! My word verification is ‘vdirtbf’ Very Dirty Boyfriend! :)

I was at the mall one day and these people were doing surveys for candy and stuff and they asked me to do it and this candy was one of the testing things. It was about a year ago…and now I’ve seen a few commercials for it but i cant find it in stores. Anyone know where to buy it?

I found it at Safeway on display there, but haven’t seen it since.

WARNING: SweeTarts Squeez is addictive!! I just came back from a Squeez hunting expedition where we bought every single cherry flavored tube in the South Miami Area. I have a friend, who we’ll call euS, to protect her identity, who is up to a 3 tube a day habit. Don’t let this happen to your loved ones.

GASP!! Is nothing sacred?!? I made you take a “squeezy oath of silence” before we went on our mission!! . . or did all the sugar (or multiplying the calories to text me with) make you woozy?? AND I’ll have you know since my supply is now unlimited - I am up to a 5 tube a day habit (bwahahaha!!) Don’t forget my Publix informant told me the delivery truck come tomorrow!! I AM UNSTOPPABLE!!!! BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I think clearly euS is hopped up on the evil cherry goodness. I assure all of you out in web land that in her right mind, she would have never have given away her source of squeezy goodness on the slim chance that her supply could be interrupted by other addicts.

Aaaaaaaaack!!!! WHAT HAVE I DONE!!!!! Ooooohhhhhh noooooooo!!!!
July 25th, 2007 at 9:24 pm
Ah but WHICH Publix???? hmmmmm??? The “Great Cherry euS” is safe!!!
