So, because I have no self control and love doing stupid shit (especially when it comes to food and/or caffeine), I had to do this. Like, I'm obligated to do anything that involves colorful sweet things that may or may not give me excessive energy.
Our ingredients include: Airheads Xtremes, Celsius Live Fit energy drink (flavor ARCTIC Vibe, aka Sparkling Frozen Berry Edition), and Three Olives Loopy vodka, because we wanted to maybe get a buzz from some of them. We ended up making one with alcohol and one without.
I carefully cut sour candy into colorful spaghetti strips - while some of my housemates ripped them apart with their bare hands, like heathens - and then split the energy drink between two glasses. The one on the right also has the fruit loop vodka in it.
The carbonation was very noisy (to me, a person who never drinks anything carbonated) and the sugar rose to the tops of these almost immediately. Like, I had to stir up the one with alcohol so it got mixed in properly and I couldn't get to it before the sugar had just... done that. For some terrible reason.
I have no fucking clue, okay? This is a terribly foreign concoction.
Just look at that! Nothing should look like that, least of all anything you're gonna put in your body.
So, we had to eat it pretty quickly because it seemed....bad. Fleeting??? Something????? @arahith suggested it and we were damn lucky he did, because the texture was horrendous and it only got worse the more time passed.
Overall, the taste was surprisingly....well, not good by any means, but it was inoffensive in comparison to other aspects of it. Maybe if I liked energy drinks more the taste would be better? But honestly, no flavor improvements in the world could fix the major issue: the texture.
They're solid on the inside, slimy on the outside, and kinda feel like wet cornstarch that wants nothing more than to slip through your fingers, down your throat, and maybe all over the table in an embarrassingly moist display of whatever the opposite of culinary prowess is. "Battery acid spaghetti" is an inept description of mouthfeel's worst enemy, because it doesn't capture the panicked energy of desperately trying to polish it off before the texture can get worse.
The alcoholic version actually retained its texture for longer, but it still wasn't good. Usually, Loopy vodka makes everything it touches worse, but since the texture far overpowered the flavor, it kinda...improved it?? I think??????
Anyway, as someone who has a culinary school degree, I can safely say: this shit is bad XD
