Super Mario 3-DEES Sour Gummis Review March 26, 2013

It’s been a staple of the internet for many years now to try some new or exotic food or beverage and review it for everyone to see.  We haven’t done one in quite a while, but that is about to be rectified.  While in New York City for the Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon review, Maniac and Princess Angel picked up some Super Mario 3-DEES candy.  They’re officially licensed by Nintendo and are made into the likeness of popular Mario characters like Mario, Yoshi and Donkey Kong.  They can come in regular and sour flavors.

Maniac happens to like sour candies like Sour Patch Kids, and decided to try out the new sour flavor Super Mario candies and see how good they are.  With Luigi’s hat on, lets take a look.
