Swizzling was originally a food preparation technique that required a utensil to be spun between the palms as it is lifted and submerged in a mixture. Though you can still find wooden swizzle sticks, some metal and plastic varieties are also available. Swizzle sticks are also known as bois lélé. These branches sprouted off little arms in several directions at the end, which could be cut down to fit various glasses. The original swizzle sticks were literal sticks broken off the Quararibea turbinate, an evergreen tree particularly popular in the southern Caribbean islands. Are you thinking about festive plastic picks/stirring utensils? You’re not completely off base, but if you’d like to know about the Caribbean stick that sparked an entire cocktail mixing technique, grab a bar stool. Gummi vites and bounce houses in the kitchen are definite caring mom things to do.The swizzle stick is a part of Caribbean bars’ infrastructure and is as fun to use as they are to say three times fast. Molly - Will definitely check out the gummi men on my next trip to Norway!!Ĭhris - You DO care. Anywhere else you can find black licorice in the parks? That could be a good blog post! PTTP - Thanks for all the tips on the licorice in Epcot! I’m not a huge black licorice fan, so I’ll leave the taste-testing up to you. Very few other spots in America will give you such a broad range of gummies in one place. Jim - True! The variety there is second to none. Will have to do so next time.īryan - Will definitely try the Gummi Choco candy next time! Thanks for the link!ĭVCMom - Not old…just experienced! 😉 What a great story about your Christmas stocking, too. Gray - Now have you ever had the chocolate-covered gummi bears? Do they make those in Germany?ĭaniel - Ha ha! I’m not sure they’d grow on me!! Glad to have your opinion, though now I’ll have to try more than one!Īllison - Thanks for the info on the sugar-free gummmies!Īmber - Me too! I buy tons of fruit pastille boxes when I’m in Epcot. Kelly - Good to know about the Worms in Dirt cupcake! Yuck! One of these tiny candies would easily be enough to flavor an entire package of Twizzler’s black licorice, they’re potent – and tasty. They’re tiny hard candies that come in a small tic-tac style box. On a related weird candy at Epcot note, try the “pure licorice” candies in Italy. Like I always say about the weird stuff in theme parks try it, you’re on vacation! If you take a bite expecting cola, you’ll be sorely disappointed. The fish shape is a traditional Norwegian/Swedish gummy shape. Maybe it’s worth a try just for the weirdness factor alone. That being said, it’s one of the most unique and authentic European foods in the park. Obviously, there’s no middle ground love ’em or leave ’em. If black licorice isn’t your thing, you’ll probably think they’re so terrible that you won’t be able to finish one. If you enjoy a strong black licorice like I do, these little guys are a must try. Salt licorice is for the connoisseur or the adventurous only – it’s like black licorice on steroids! Which, to me, is a good thing. The picture on the bag is pretty fantastic, too - talk about unruly pasta! What I love most about it is that it’s “extra sour!” What’s especially interesting about this gummi pasta in the World Showcase’s Italy pavilion is not that it doesn’t at all look like pasta, nor is it that this pasta is strangely fruit-flavored. Imagine that: rides, attractions, and a global selection of gummies in all in one place! One of the many reasons we love Disney, eh? Let’s go on a little tour around the Disney parks to check out just a few of the global gummies we can find!

Well, guess what - you can sample all of these, and more, in your favorite vacation destinations.
