Blinky & Star tins

New thing of today, tried candy from the Blinky and Star tins.

I got these awesome little candy tins at City Walk in a store called It's Sugar with lots of fun candy stuff. I saw these awesome little tins and decided to get them. Being not a huge fan of candy, was going to give the candy away and use the tins for my stuff. I was going to use the red Blinky pac-man ghost as my vitamin/advil/pill box. I was going to use the Star from Mario World as a mint holder.

So today I opened the boxes and tried out the candies - disgusting! They had no flavor, although they had cute shapes like the tins they came in. 

The star one had zero flavor, banana-ish, but gross. The red one had a sour flavor to it - very mild, but not even that tasty. So I dumped out the candy on a napkin, gave it out to coworkers, and now have fun empty tins to use for my stuff! It will make me more likely to take my vitamins and to use up my mints - both of which I forget to take and really should take more often. Anyway, just love the tins, but glad the candy is gone - so gross!

PS - did you know that Mario World has it's own Wiki - check out the listing on the Mario Star. Also some info on Pac-Man and Blinky :)
