After trying the Airheads Bites (that I recieved free for sampling purposes) I found out that they had Extremes Bites and I knew I had to try them. Airheads Extremes are one of my favorite candies so these sounded perfect.

I found the Extremes Bites (and Airheads Bites) easily in the Meijer candy aisle. The Airheads Extremes Bites come in a 6oz bag for a dollar and some change (I think its close to 2 dollars but I cant remember for sure). I decided to wait to try them and Sunday I noticed they were on sale for $0.99 at Meijer so I figured it would be the perfect time to grab a bag.

When I first picked up a bag the little sqaure pieces felt a little harder then I thought they would be, I thought they were going to be pretty soft. This was one reason I put off trying them, I was afraid Meijer had a bad batch or something and didnt want to pay full price.

Upon trying these they are a good amount of soft, not too soft and not too hard, so even though they felt a little harder then I expected they werent too hard.

These were honestly even better then I expected, my boyfriend and I devoured them. We both love regular Airheads Extremes but I think I almost like the Bites more. They have great flavor and texture, and a good amount of sour. They taste very similar to the Airheads Extremes but I think they are a little thicker and easier to eat since they aree bite sized.

I apologize these photos are even worse then normal, I took them quickly one night before inhaling the rest of the Bites.

I definitly recommend giving these a try unless you absolutly hate sour candy. Im not a huge sour candy fan but I do love these.


Not sure where to find some?

Advil Film-Coated

I recently got some samples of Advil Film-Coated to try from Crowdtap.

One thing I will say is I didnt have much time at all to try this product :( 
I received my "you only have one week left to submit your report" e-mail a day before I even got my samples (and judging my instagram posts it looked like most people got theirs around the same time).  Of course as luck would have it I went through my week to two of awful daily neck pain right before recieving this product and have felt ok since recieving it so i havent been able to try it.
I will be updating this post once i do get a chance to try it. 


This is what Advil.com says about the Advil Film-Coated:

"Our latest innovation in relief stops pain before it gets worse.  This Advil® is formulated with a unique Advil Ion Core™  Technology and an ultra thin shell to absorb quickly – in fact nothing is proven to work faster*
Use fast acting Advil® Film-Coated for headaches, muscle aches, toothaches, menstrual cramps, back pain, and aches and pains associated with the common cold. Fast acting Advil® Film-Coated leverages the rapid absorption properties of ibuprofen sodium, now available for the first time in the US."
Upon looking at other reviews I found that some people did claim that these worked faster then other pain releivers and one even thought they worked faster then the Advil Liquid Gels for cramps. 

I am excited to try these when I get the chance. I typically use pain relievers for head aches, neck aches (which I get a ton of) and cramps. My usual pain reliever of choice is Ib Profin because its what we tend to have at home. I have used the Advil Liquid Gels a few times when i needed fast relief so I am curious to see how this compares

I'll update this post once I've had a chance to give this a try and let you know what I think.

New Airhead's Bites

As you may know if you've seen my Dean's List Voxbox Post I recently recieved the Dean's List Voxbox and one of the items inside was the new Airheads Bites.

They come in Fruit amd Berry flavors ans there are also Airheads Extremes Bites (which i really want to try!) 


*Update: I finally bought some Airheads Extremes Bites, you can see what I thought of them Here

I wasnt sure how great these would be, sometimes when things are made into bite size they taste different then the regular size candy but these taste almost exactly like regular airheads. They are slightly different entitially because they have a bit of a shell coating (not really crunchy but slightly firmer then them inside). But once you start chewing its just like your chewing on a bite of an airhead.

Airheads Bites Candies

The photo above was only some of the candy from the package, not all of it. 

My boyfriend and I were a little disapointed in the amount of each flavor we got in the pack. There were tons of Yellow (Lemon) and Orange (Orange lol), a reasonable amount of Red (Cherry), only 3 Green (Watermelon) and only 2 Blue (Blue Raspberry) which is our favorite candy flavor.

I'm suprisingly not too picky when it comes to candy, I dont mind eating lemon, orange and some of the other less popular flavors but I do have my favorites that I would prefer to have more of (like 
Blue Raspberry). My boyfriend on the other hand refuses to eat lemon and orange and doesnt really like cherry so he only got to eat about three of these (I made him leave me one Green and one Blue so I could try them for reviewing purposes).

I'm not sure if every Fruit bag is like this or if we just got a Orange, Yellow and Red populated bag. I would love to see Airheads make more of the popular flavors and less of the less popular flavors. I thought the Berry pack might of been to give people more of the popular flavors like starbursts did with their favorite reds pack but I looked up the flavors:  Cherry Berry, Blackberry, Grape berry, Blue Raspberry and Banana berry (thanks to walgreens.com) which I could be wrong but I dont think all of those are real popular flavors.

Overall I really enjoyed these, they tasted almost exactly like regular airheads in bite size pieces (like they should) but I would like to see more of the popular flavors inside each bag and less of the less popular flavors.

Thank you Influenster and Airheads for letting me sample these!
