Leave it to the people that brought us Saab, H&M and tiny meatballs to invent something so fantastic as sparkling vodka. These Swedish little bubbles in Camitz Sparkling will tickle more than just your nose; they'll address your taste fancy, and your sense of visual delight as well. Just in time for the holidays, this little pioneer is now available across North America, and promises to be a harbinger of what's to come from the spirit world.
Every ten years or so, interest in vampires makes a comeback into the collective trendthirst. Bela Lugosi, Anne Rice, Stephenie Meyer with her Twilight series, beautiful Anna Paquin in her new Southern Gothic nosferatic drama, True Blood - the list drips on.
Well to help quench the thirst of those who can't get enough, here's the perfect accessory to your presence at this year's Halloween party. Blood Energy Potion is a sugar beverage that's packaged - well it's packaged like that. It has an entire campaign, website and social media presence designed for it. And with barely a disclaimer (it's there if you look for it) the makers of this plasma sac walk a fine line, and do so cleverly.
A true and venerable staple on the American confectionary scene, Necco Wafers have been around since 1847. Today, four billion of them are made every year - enough to wrap around the world twice if placed edge to edge.
The original wafer recipe has remained virtually unchanged since their invention years ago, but consumer trends have led Necco (The New England Confectionary Company) to reconsider the make-up of these little gems. And so for the first time, Necco wafers will now start to be made with only natural ingredients.
The list of new natural ingredients now includes beet juice, purple cabbage, cocoa powder and turmeric. Likewise, pastel greens and purple shades have been replaced with brown, yellow, taupe, pink and grey.
