Puccho Gummy Stick – Melon Soda (ぷつちよ　ガミ)

I first saw this on the UHA’s Puccho website. There were two flavors (cola and melon soda) available at the store downstairs and I got them both to try out.

The first one I decided to try was this: the Melon Soda Gummy.

I had doubts about this. I never had Melon Soda in my life. So what is this supposed to taste like? Melon-y with Soda fizz? Soda-flavored Melon? Melon-flavored soda? Anyways, one will never find out without trying right?

Despite the name ‘Gummy Stick’, it just refers to the container. The gummies are really drops. They are a nice translucent white, reminding me very much of Ice-Cream Soda drinks.

They taste like Ice-Cream Soda too. With a hint of a fruit flavor somewhere. But if you didn’t tell me it’s supposed to be ‘Melon Soda’ I would never know what it is. They taste just like… candy, I guess. The texture is just nice though, but I find them too small to chew on much.

I suppose this is more popular that I would think they are because the shop’s just ran all out of them. Hmm, I think if I really needed to get gummies and I am far from everywhere else, these might satiate me for awhile but that’s about all…
