Kool-Aid has added to the list of popping candies with its new \u201cScary Berry\u201d candy, just in time for Halloween. (Wait, what?)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
When I opened the pack, I was surprised to see three different colors and textures. The big, aquamarine pieces are standard popping candy, and that\u2019s all I was expecting. The pop factor is comparable to Pop Rocks. <\/p>\n
But there are also blue pieces. It\u2019s been a long time since I\u2019ve made Kool-Aid, but I think the blue bits are just Kool-Aid powder, or something close to it. They provide most of the flavoring, a typical, artificial blue raspberry flavor.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
And then there are pure sugar crystals, presumably to balance the tartness of the powder. Or maybe it\u2019s to resemble the actual ingredients of Kool-Aid, with the popping candy taking the place of water.<\/p>\n
Together, it\u2019s a somewhat tart popping candy. Popping candy usually has little flavor, so I\u2019m glad they added the raspberry powder. But overall, it just feels like chemicals in my mouth.<\/p>\n
Outside of the packaging and the name, I cannot possibly figure out what this candy has to do with Halloween. I associate popping candy with the Fourth of July, raspberry is likewise a summer flavor, and the greenish-blue color evokes images of mermaids, not vampires. <\/p>\n
If you want popping candy, this is as good as any. But it\u2019s also not much better than any of the others.<\/p>\n
