Nik-L-Nip and other Wondrous & Weird Waxy Candy!
Ah… wax candy. As a kid, I never really understood the appeal, and frankly I was a bit afraid of the syrupy contents of some of these. But my friends and classmates seemed to enjoy them, and as I’ve found … Continue reading

![Oh @cinnamontoastcrunch , you’ve gone too far now… [Or have you? 🤔]
This is real folks, and it goes on-sale tomorrow, July 8th, exclusively on Walmart.com
I haven’t seen a confirmed time for the drop and frankly, I wouldn’t trust it if I did. I feel like a lot of these pop onto the site before said times anyway.
Receiving a sample early as I have, I can share with you my own review: this is a fascinating blending of flavors with that smoky bacon seasoning that you might expect it to have. It’s a strange stacking of sweet and savory and it’s not terrible as a snack, but it wouldn’t be my go-to. The wonderfully familiar notes of Cinnamon Toast Crunch are there but so is that bacon and together it is a good bit weird
I loved the fiery toast crunch from a couple years back — I should say ADORED that flavor, and as yet I’ve not been able to try the pizza flavored cinnamon toast crunch. I feel like those releases are in the same family of unexpected pairings for CTC.
So yeah, this is gonna be a really limited edition (they say “super limited”) and it’s probably gonna be frustratingly hard to get. And I have deeply mixed feelings about that.
I wish they offered enough so that everyone who wanted to try these weird flavors could experience them without rewarding the scalpers.
And while I’m incredibly grateful to be receiving this early sample, I want every one of you out there who has an interest in it to have the same opportunity.
I’ll post the Walmart web link to my Stories here in a bit so you know where to go to try and order this when it goes live. And if I hear a specific time for the drop, I’ll share it there as well, but if I were you, I would be checking that link early and often…
May the odds be ever in our favor.
Thank you @generalmills for the advance tasting!!](http://collectingcandy.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
