Fun Dip Candy

There's something pretty wacky about Fun Dip. Look no further than the ostensible brand name (Lik-M-Aid?) or the name of the red flavor, "Cherry Yum Diddly Dip". But this is a classic candy from my childhood, and it's nut free both pre- and post-Wonka, so I see it as wacky-good.

Cherry Yum Diddly Dip isn't as good as the blue flavor, which is rare for candy because usually red is best. Obviously it's just red sugar, but the grains of sugar felt "thinner" with the blue one, and these didn't really taste that good. The stick tastes like mildly sweet candy, a good finish to the sweet sugar "dip". More nostalgic than good, and maybe even more bad than good. But still, 6/10.

Razz Apple Magic Dip is far superior, but I'm not sure why. Is it because the sugar feels thinner? Is it somehow less sweet (very rare for blue raspberry candies?) It's mysterious, but the color change from blue to green with water (or saliva) is pretty fun, so that doesn't hurt. A classic nostalgic candy. Also, makes your mouth blue. 7/10

Overall
Cost: 7/10
Taste: 6/10
