Well, I went on a quick trip the other day, and let me tell you, my basket was filled with some of the most hilariously weird and wonderful things I've seen in a while! I just had to share this haul with you because some of these items are truly next-level interesting.
First up, and probably the star of the show, is this Frankford Gummy Corn on the Cob candy. Seriously, a buttered corn flavored gummy! When I saw the packaging, which actually shows a gummy shaped exactly like a corn on the cob, I did a double-take. I mean, who comes up with buttered corn flavored candy? It's so bizarre, but also incredibly intriguing. My first thought was, 'Is this going to be sweet? Salty? Both?' It’s definitely a conversation starter, and I can't wait to see my friends' reactions to this one. It's the kind of novelty candy that you just have to try, even if it's just for the experience. It makes you wonder if it's surprisingly delicious or just a fun gag gift!
Next, I couldn't resist grabbing a bag of the Dum Dums Flavor Vault lollipops – specifically, the pickle flavor! Yes, you read that right, pickle! The green bag with the little pickle-shaped submarine on it instantly caught my eye. We've seen pickle-flavored chips and even drinks, but a lollipop? This is a whole new level of sour and tangy adventure. Each lollipop is just 25 calories and 5g sugar, so it’s a guilt-free way to explore a really unique taste profile. I'm imagining that sharp, briny kick in a sweet hard candy form, and honestly, I'm both scared and excited to try it. It’s definitely not for everyone, but for us pickle lovers, it’s a must-have unique find!
And then, for something a little spooky, I found these Amos Peelerz Zombie Snacks gummy candy. These are strawberry and raspberry flavored, and the packaging is so cool, featuring a cartoon zombie holding skull and brain-shaped gummies. How fun is that? They look like they'd be perfect for a Halloween party or just for anyone who loves a bit of quirky, spooky fun in their snacks. The idea of peeling a gummy zombie snack just adds to the playfulness. It’s such a clever concept beyond just a regular gummy.
Finally, because I'm a sucker for anything seasonal, I picked up a Taste Beauty Pumpkin Spice flavored lip balm. It comes in a cute little cup-shaped container, and the packaging also mentioned other latte-flavored lip balms like Apple Cider and Salted Caramel. It smells exactly like a pumpkin spice latte, and it's perfect for getting into those cozy fall vibes, even if it's not quite autumn yet. It's such a small indulgence that brings a smile to my face, and it makes my lips feel super moisturized. These are perfect little treats or stocking stuffers.
Honestly, Five Below never disappoints when it comes to finding these kinds of unexpected, fun, and sometimes downright weird items. It’s like a treasure hunt every time! Have you guys found any equally wild or amazing things there lately? Let me know your best Five Below finds!
