My post from the thread, also someone in there mentioned Circus Peanuts which would be so bad or so good we'd all have to try it...
"Throwback" meaning back to the days/candies from our childhoods that were terrible for us but we loved for some reason but could likely hardly stomach today. Big league chew, milk duds, Bit O' Honey, Fun Dip, ring pops, PEZ!!!! oh man PEZ.
.... just thought of another one that would be completely disgusting but couldn't help ourselves cadburry creme egg.
Cadburry Creme Eggs are one of my favorite all time candies but there is no way this would taste good in a thin based drink. However, it would be interesting lol.
Same for Bit o Honey; I don't think it would taste good bc of texture. But could always try.
Fun Dip, Ring Pop, Pez - would be open to but it depends on which flavor within those would want to go with because each has grape, strawberry, etc.
Circus Peanuts would be really good or really bad but might have to give it a try and see how it turns out.
Hard pass on Milk Dud Focus XT lol.
Fun Dip and PEZ would be good
I love Milk Duds but that type flavor system would likely be terrible in the texture of Focus XT or a pre or anything like that. More of a protein flavor.
However, the thought had crossed my mind for small batch crazy flavors like that - even if they aren't great, just for craziness value to have fun with haha.
Fun Dip and Pez would be awesome but would have to figure out which flavors within the Fun Dip and Pez family would pattern after.
Sour apple or sour anything honestly.
I love almost any sour flavors but hate almost any apple flavored anything haha.
Since double post I’ll also suggest blueberry pomegranate.
I love the Blueberry Pomegranate Acai flavor like the XXX Vitamin Water.
Tigers Blood Snowcone
Sour Peach Rings
Miami Vice (Pina Colada and Strawberry Daq)
Coconut Lime Daquiri
Strawberry Lime Mojito
Black Cherry
Blackberry limeade
Grape can be tricky because it can go wrong in so many ways IMO. Can taste like cough syrup, or be way too sweet.
Perhaps Sour Grape or White grape ?
Sour Peach Rings seems to be a popular idea; can definitely look into that.
Pina Colada/Strawberry Daiquiri - never even considered this until saw it in the other thread. I would be open to trying to get a flavor sample of it.
Coconut Lime Daiquiri - not sure on this one; may be more likely to go a margarita route?
I love mojito; I think I had mentioned Strawberry Mojito in the other thread so definitely up for this as an idea.
Blackberry Limeade is one of my personal favorite flavors; so that's an option worth looking into.
Grape is tough bc there is no pleasing everyone bc there are so many grape variants. I want to add a second caffeine free flavor and thought about grape as a possibility for that.
I thought about sour grape because I love sour grape. I was thinking like sour grape or sour grape lollipop.
Sweet tea
Cherry lemonade
Black cherry
Sweet tea would be tough because we want to keep it sugar free; and to do a sweet tea, would have to play around with it and see if could get the taste right.
Black Cherry - considering bringing that back; if do, it will be dye free.
Definitely bring back the black cherry! I also liked my red cream soda suggestion from the other thread.
As far as natural flavors go, lemon seems to be an easier one there. I’d love another lemonade variant, particularly raspberry lemonade. An orange/citrus flavor I could see being good as a natural one as well
We've thought about bringing back Black Cherry. If we do, it would be dye free.
Red Cream Soda is interesting.
Natural is definitely tricky with flavor selection. I will look more into what the options are. I like lemonade variants but not sure how having more than one would sell. But will definitely consider it. I love strawberry lemonade and blueberry lemonade myself.
That's a possibility.
