Monster Buddies

The Monster Buddies wrapper crinkle is that of the classic wrapper noise. The kind that you hear in a commercial that wakes the dog up. The inside of the package is about half full of fingernail size gummies that came in all kinds of colors. Such as red, green, blue, and orange.

Each gummy is shaped like a monster head with an imprint of a monster face on them. Some faces are slightly deformed and others are just fine. At first glance, the gummy is slightly terrifying bc it doesn’t look like it has eyes. However, upon further inspection, there is an eyelid shape that is almost like parentheses turned sideways.

The Monster Buddies are pretty squishy and resemble that of a rubbery stress ball. Not as easy to squish but returns to its original shape.

The different fruit-flavored snacks all smell like fruit and it’s quite pleasant. Unlike the smell, some of them feel chalky. Almost like there was a dust of sorts coating them.

The taste of the orange pieces resembles that of cough syrup that I had to take when sick at home. The green was also not great. I can’t put my finger on what it reminded me of but after the first bite my face scrunched up like I had eaten something sour. The rest of the colors/flavors were just fine and tasted good.

    The “dust” is intentional. It keeps them from sticking together.

    Nicely done. A good mix of objective and subjective. Metaphor and sensory detail.

    NyQuil?
