Every year, the National Confectioners Association holds their Sweets & Snacks Expo in Chicago at the McCormick Place convention center. This year, the event will run from May 24th to the 26th. Candyblog.net has been giving sneak peeks at some of the candies that will be introduced at the event. However, there’s one particular candy being emitted that I’m pretty sure will get a lot of attention — Farts Candy from Leaf Brands.

According to a post on Candy.com, Farts Candy “are tiny, fruit-flavored nuggets” and “a better version of Nerds.” However, Farts won’t be a crunchy candy, it will have a chewy exterior. The post goes on to say that there will be 126 Farts flavors, but Leaf Brands plans to hold back some of their Farts and let the public vote via social media on which Farts they should release next.

Leaf Brands will be passing these gastronomical treats in 2.17-ounce packs and they will be available in four varieties: Fruiti, Sour, Single Flavors, and Small Farts.

Hey, Twix! Now that you’ve got Twix Coconut out of the way, how about bringing back Cookies-n-Creme Twix from the 1990s? Come on, man. Retro is in. (via Rodzilla Reviews)

Innovative Candy Concepts may call their product Too Tarts Melted Ice Cream Spray Candy, but I’m going to call it Something To Give My Future Children To Spray Into The Eyes Of Strangers Who Come Too Close To Them. (via Clearance Cuisine)

As a kid, and after being told you are what you eat, I thought eating Hello Panda would turn me into a panda, so I ate a lot of them. It didn’t turn me into a panda, but it did make me as round as one. (via Food Junk)

I’m no cardiologist, but I believe dipping a sub sandwich filled with chicken, bacon and spicy mayo into cheese is perfectly fine. (via Junk Food Betty)

Yes, this was posted on a Friday. It’s just part of my master plan to make sure there’s nothing to read on the weekend, forcing you to go outside and enjoy your weekend. Come on, it’s summertime. Get a real tan. Get some color. Anyhoo, here are a few product reviews posted this week from other blogs we like.

McDonald’s is testing chicken flatbreads in selected areas. The next thing I want McDonald’s to test is what the hell Grimace is made out of. (via Grub Grade)

Do you miss Crispy M&M’s? I do. But, sadly, the only ways I can get them is to either fly to Germany or build a time machine to take me back to 1999 so that I pick some up and relive Y2K all over again. (via Exquisite Candy)

Are you being dragged going to the see the movie Eat Pray Love this weekend? Might I recommend not sneaking in caffeinated popcorn, because it will make it difficult for you to fall asleep while attempting to follow the storyline. (via Caffeine-A-Holic)

Sure, Halloween is two months away. But if you want to get started on the Halloween sweets eating festivities or want cavities a month or two earlier, you’ll be happy to know that Halloween Peeps are already showing up in stores. (via Rodzilla Reviews)

The new Twix Fino is a light candy bar being marketed towards professional women in the United Kingdom. It sounds like Twix is telling professional women in the UK that they’re fat. (via Jim’s Chocolate Mission)

There’s an energy drink that comes in a bottle that looks like a fire extinguisher. Does it also come in a bigger size that looks like a fire hydrant? (via Caffeine-A-Holic)

Dr Pepper with real sugar isn’t really impressive. But Dr Pepper curing an illness would be. (via Gigi Reviews)

Japan now has Orange M&M’s. It makes sense since Japan is also known for having people with orange hair. (via Japanese Snack Reviews)

Necco knows how to tug at the tummies of little girls with their Twilight Sweethearts candies, which have saying like “Bite Me”, “Live 4 Ever” and “Team EC” printed on them. I thought Sweethearts candies were gross by themselves, but it turns out, with the right sayings on them, they get even more disgusting. (via Candyblog)

Krispy Kreme has a Limited Edition Cheerwine Kreme Filled Doughnut. I have no clue what Cheerwine is and I’m too lazy to look it up on Wikipedia, so I’m going to assume, if I drink it, it will turn my face red and make a drunk Lindsay Lohan appear to be better looking than she really is.

I’m not surprised a company offers a pizza made out of chocolate. But I’m surprised the company that offers it isn’t Domino’s. (via Chocolate Reviews)

If these potato chips are so exotic, why don’t I get a boner when I look at them, like I do when I see exotic women, exotic cars and exotic birds? (via Yum Yucky)

I should be afraid of a snack seasoned with something called “Death Sauce”, but I’m still alive after consuming a lot of the scarier sounding Taco Bell Nacho Cheese Sauce. (via Japanese Snack Reviews)

Speaking of nachos, Fritos has a limited edition flavor called Ballpark Nacho. I hear they’re a home run. They’re so tasty, you might want to steal them. They’re so good they might inflate your ERA (External Roundness of Abdomen). (via We Rate Stuff and Hamburger Calculus)

A company called Primer has a caffeinated breath spray to help keep you awake. Another great way to stay awake is to buy normal breath spray and spray it at your eyes. (via Caffeine-A-Holic)

Happy Fourth of July! Here are a few product reviews posted this week from other blogs we like.

Blue Bunny has a red, white and blue popsicle that allow me to suck on America. Or the UK. Or Norway. Or the Czech Republic. Or France. Or Iceland. Or Cambodia. Or Liberia. Or Samoa. (via Freezer Burns)

I think Claim Jumper should rename their Turtle Pie because with 4.5 grams of trans fat per slice, it will be hard to live as long as a turtle by eating it. (via Frozen Food Journal)

There’s a hot dog-shaped bubble gum and it looks realistic. But it would be even more realistic if it came in packs of ten and also included a package of hot dog bun-shaped gum that came in a pack of eight. (via Sugar Pressure)

7-Eleven’s aluminum Slurpee straws are back, but I get more excited when 7-Eleven brings back their Extreme Gulp containers. (via We Rate Stuff)

The Trader Joe’s Fiberful Fruit and Veggie Bar is a wonderful reminder that we all should put on sunscreen and not spend too much time out in the sun this summer. (via Gigi Reviews)
