Review: Dr. Pepper Cotton Candy

As I was at my local $1 store - I saw this package of Dr. Pepper flavored cotton candy, and I thought why not?
I'm a big fan of the unique sweet and spicy flavor of Dr. Pepper, and experiencing it in fluffy cotton candy seemed appealing, even though, technically, I'm not a big fan of cotton candy.
Well the first things I noticed were the gorgeous burgundy color and the thick, dense texture of the usually more - fluffy treat.
The Dr. Pepper flavor was evident , though way more "sweet" than the soda. I guess that isn't surprising given that this is a treat also known as "spun sugar".
A few bites at a time and I did manage to pack another 300 calories onto my day - the calorie count of what was in the package.
While it didn't stop me from finishing it, I don't know if I would buy this again. Now the Dr. Pepper flavored Lip Smacker (lip gloss/chapstick type thing) is another matter

Have you tried anything strange lately?

not really, although I did buy some potato croquettes at Lidl which come in a distinct curly cue shape. I would try Dr. Pepper cotton candy.

Ooo Potato croquettes sounds interesting doesn't it? What is the flavor like? Is it a potato dumping?

Have I ever tried anything strange? No. Of course not. And whatever you've heard is a lie. And all the videos and pictures you've seen of me doing strange things are PhotoShopped! Oh wait...you mean food?
I'm not a big fan of cotton candy but I love Dr. Pepper. I know I'm forgetting a ton of things but the only odd food item I can think of right now is a vegetarian spinach pizza with just cheese, no red sauce that we used to order. My ex-wife loved them because they had far less calories than any other pizza and I tried it, expecting it to be horrible but I found it was very good. Just as good as any other pizza.

@FayeHazel I really like the idea of you watching. That's why the computer spying doesn't bother me but I like it much better when it's you.
This place really did it well. I don't know how but they made the spinach taste really good.

Lol,but you forget I might be watching....
I know, I like the texture but cotton candy has always been too ultra sweet for my tastes. Love Dr. Pepper too. It's such a unique flavor, I've often wondered what's in there. Then again knowing might take away the magic.
The spinach pizza I could image being alright. I know that a few leaves of Spinach on pizza really doesn't have much flavor. The no red sauce would throw me off, but stranger things have happened.

@xander6464 But what if I invite friends over? We all like watching you. Make some popcorn, settle for some Mountain dew (not Mellow Yellow - because I didn't win the lotto so couldn't buy the big Coke Machine....)
Wow, making Spinach taste good is a real feat....

@FayeHazel I thought of you today at the grocery store. Why? Because I saw Dr. Pepper flavored baked beans! I kid you not.

Lol! You're probably right - sugar is probably off the charts.
Cherry Dr. Pepper Bubblegum wow! I would love that

Ha ha, seriously? Is it the texture or just the overly sweet?

Being that I am a huge Dr. Pepper fan, I would probably buy this at least once to try it, even if you would have said it was horrible!

@FayeHazel The Dr Pepper licorice was okay enough but sort of odd tasting.

Funny I used to love it (cotton candy) when I was a kid. I guess it's one of those things that looses it's magic when you become an adult

@porwest Ditto here, not my favorite. Kind of like Lik-m-aid - candy sticks that you could dip into flavor powder. Loved it as a kid. As an adult, I have no idea why that seemed fun

I DID like it when I was a kid. But the last time I had a bite I could not understand at all what I ever saw in it.

Aw, too bad! Maybe sometime it will find it's way there. Spearmint Chapstick? We don't see that too often here. Cherry and the non-descript "original" are common

I like a diet DP sometimes but I cant do candy anymore, I am not sure I would try that one. You are brave.

Diet drinker here too. Hey does it seem like the diet DP flavor isn't as strong as it used to be?

The lip smacker is good but I have never seen Dr pepper in cotton candy before. I love dp but I don't think I would be a fan of the candy.
