Hokey Halloween Horror: Spooky Nerds Rope

By

     It's been a few days since I've reviewed any Halloween treats, so this week is going to be full blown, non-stop scary toys and junk food. Right now I'm looking at the Spooky Nerds Rope from Willy Wonka candy, a delicious mixture of Nerds and gummy candy. If you've never had a Nerds rope, it's essentially something similar to a Sour Punch Straw but instead of sour powder it's covered with Nerds candy. Of course, this isn't your standard Nerds Rope but a Spooky Nerds Rope. What makes it spooky? 1. The rope is covered with orange, purple, and white nerds and 2. Each rope is haunted by the ghost of an 19th century British orphan. Enjoy!



      The package is pretty festive: it's orange with a spider web pattern and little Nerds leaping around dressed up in Halloween costumes like witches hats, bat wings, and spider webs. It's fun and festive!
     I'm not really sure what flavor the Nerds are supposed to be; Orange and Grape? Fruit punch? I really have no idea. They taste like Nerds which I tend to think taste all the same most of the time. The rope part is a sweet gummy candy, but it's difficult to taste since the Nerds are pretty sour. Basically, if you really like Nerds, you'll probably like this. I'm pretty neutral on it. It's not bad, but I can't see myself snagging another one of these this season. Maybe next year if they change the package, though.

    Oh my goodness, I am so excited to try this. I have one, and I am so ready to open it up. I'm stupidly forcing myself to wait until Halloween to gorge on all the candy. lol It's the dumbest goal I have ever set for myself. I'm glad you posted this though. I also liked the pictures!

Action Figure Review: Castle Grayskull from Masters of the Universe Classics by Mattel

     As Skeletor said in the 1987 film Masters of the Universe , "Everything comes to he who waits, and I have waited so very long for this moment." Yes, after one year of preorders, waiting, concepts and preproduction pieces, constant changes, small victories, crushing defeats, and sheer anticipation, Castle Grayskull has finally arrived to my home. Earlier this afternoon my wife texted me a picture of the enormous box sitting in our kitchen and I've been jazzed ever since. Heck, I've been singing the Castle Grayskull song all week now to help myself pass the time. Before I even open the box, I have to say that while there have been plenty of ups and downs on the journey from having Castle Grayskull exist simply as a sketch on paper to existing as an actual product delivered to my door, I think there are some folks that need to be commended. First, regardless of all other issues I don't think anyone can say that Scott Neitlich ("ToyGuru") and the Fo

The Night He Came Home Again! - A 'Halloween 2018' Review

When we first learned that Director: David Gordon Green would be talking over the iconic Halloween franchise, my thoughts could best be described as skeptical at best.  How was the guy that brought us Pineapple Express going to bring Michael Myers home again? Also where did Danny McrBride fit it in? Would Blumhouse and Green do the un-thinkable by allowing McBride to dawn the mask, and having the world famous physical comedian wield who knows what as his weapon of choice? Find out the answer to these, and many other questions after the break in our Halloween review....
