Oh Mr. Wonka.How you know the way to my heart.
So I couldn't help myself: I went to Target just to see how they were coming along with their Halloween selection.
Guess what? The candy's up. Mmmmm wonderful, delectable Halloween candy. Dress up the old candy in spooky colored bags bigger than my pillowcase and I can't help but want to buy wheelbarrows full.
So as I perused, fighting the urge to Scrooge McDuck in to the shelves and swim around, my eyes fell on WONKA CHEWY NERDS.
For those of you who read the site, you know my infatuation with these gems. If not, read up HERE.
There was a tag that said 3 for $5. And I knew that I was done. How much do I like these? Well I ate half a bag just driving home.
The Halloween edition bag is emblazoned with two Halloween colors: orange and purple and the nerds are dressed as a witch and a bat/devil/vampire-thing. I usually avoid purple in my Halloween but I understand it's need for slimy things and monsters. The bag foretells the flavors contained therein, for there are only two: grape and orange.
Two of the best flavors in my opinion. If you like Nerds and you like jellybeans for the love of god and all that is holy, pick yourself up a bag.
The fact that Giant Chewy Nerds are now available in 7-11s and convenience stores in pocket packs makes this bag only slightly less special. I'm so glad these are popular. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go buy the rest of the shelf.

I'll have to check these out! I enjoyed Nerds as a kid in moderate amounts, but chewy Nerds just might be my new obsession!
By the way, I was in Target last week looking for house junk and stumbled across the Halloween section (a few reasons here: 1) I was in a new Target and had no clue where the section might be, 2) I wasn't expecting the section be to out just yet, and 3) I saw no signs anywhere like they usually have). I have mixed feelings about the Domo thing. I mean, it was one thing when he was a 2-D picture, but watching the video was a little uncomfortable to me. His mouth is always like that!!! Weird?
Did your Target have any of the Jones mini cans out? I didn't find any and I'm jonesin' (pun intended!) for some Gruesome Grape!!
Re: Domo - His mouth IS always like that. And that permanent lockjaw is what makes it funny!
No Jones sodas yet. Either that or someone had already purchased the entire shelf. The tags were there, but no sodas. According to the tags there's a Kiwi flavor this year. Hmmm...
I'll be buying them and posting my review as soon as they turn up.
I. LOVE. GIANT CHEWY NERDS. However, in my opinion, the GREEN (watermelon) flavor is the best. I am really, really hoping they come out with a christmas mix of red and green, as i am pretty sure that red is my second fav. ps i got the halloween mix and i have to say, i actually got a little bit sick of the purple and orange flavor!!
