Would you like some Skittles with your hot dog?
Skittles candies, which are pretty much the fruity, chewy equivalent of Amandam (both brands are made by Mars), are known for their varied flavors. They come in regular, tropical, sour, yogurt flavored variations and are sometimes even spicy. Their special editions always color our hearts (and tongues) in a variety of rainbow colors. But for this mega-special and strange edition, we weren't expecting: Skittles flavored with mustard!
The new and puzzling flavor is actually the product of a collaboration between Skittles and the American sauce brand French's, and is being launched in the US on the occasion of International Mustard Day, which takes place on August 5. Unfortunately, the mustard candies candy can only be purchased for free at pop-up stands in New York, Atlanta, and Washington, D.C., for a few hours on Mustard Day – or win a package through a raffle held here (in case you have an uncle in America or something). By the way, this isn't the first time Frances has given a mustard twist to any dish. In recent years, she's also launched ice cream, donuts and mustard-flavored beer, and even ketchup-flavored ice cream.

The most corrupt donut in the world?
Did we mention donuts? Did we mention amandam? Now let's talk about crazy corruption that connects these two indulgences. The well-known doughnut chain "Krispy Cream", which maintains branches in dozens of countries but has not yet reached Israel, is launching a new drum collection in North America in cooperation with Amandam. The highlight of the limited series is undoubtedly a hollow donut stuffed with a generous handful of colorful candies - just like a tempting carb vault just waiting for us to burst into it with our teeth and sink into the chocolatey spoils inside. All this under a red ceramic coating bearing the letter M, which gives the entire donut the appearance of a large, plump amandam candy. The truth is that we can't take our eyes off the picture. I'm sure you do too.

Ringing drinks
It is known that energy drinks are supposed to stimulate and refresh you, but this is already excessive: the new drink from the Japanese company NN Drinks purports to cram a nose into a bottle, and make those who sip it feel like they are getting slapped in the face. The drink emphasizes that this is not just a random slap from the street, but one that recreates a famous scene from a well-known anime series called "Steins; Gate". In the series, one of the characters, Miyoshi, kidnaps and Latma rings into the face of a gloomy guy. Here, watch for yourself.

The drink, in case you're interested, is called Mayushii's Slap, and it contains 120 milligrams of caffeine – a decent amount you'd find in three cups of black coffee. Along the way, we also dripped in some vitamins, honey and ginseng extract. The taste itself is defined by the manufacturer as "fruity and easy to drink" (so it is quite possible that you will want to turn the other cheek to it as well).
