From the palate of Michael:
Today's taste experiments:
Blueberry bubble gum: could be an acquired taste. First try was not encouraging, and I have no intention of trying it a second time in the near future.
"Icy Mint" Sprite: Nasty. I was unable to convince myself to finish it, and threw it out.
Corn Yogurt: Not bad, but not my preference, either. Imagine very thick, very sweet creamed corn. I don't care for creamed corn, by the way.
Red Bean and Chestnut Ice Cream: Not nearly as good as the purple yam ice cream from last week, but might be worth trying from a different dairy, as the ice cream itself seemed to be of an inferior grade. The purple yam stuff, if you can believe it, comes out of San Francisco.
Honey-flavor Colgate Toothpaste: Surprising. Pretty good, actually. Doesn't taste much like honey, but it's still pretty good.

Isn't blueberry bubble gum what Veruca Salt ate in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? Its vaguely terrifying that anyone would reproduce some of that candy. Purple yam sounds great though - just the name sounds yummy in fact. pppurrppllleeeyyyammmmmmm....
Violet Beauregarde ate a piece of gum that was supposed to be a 3-course meal of tomato soup, roast beef, and blueberry pie. I'd be interested if you find tomato soup and roast beef gum there! I've had purple potatoes--are purple yams in the same family? In any case, food does tell a lot about the culture (and in this case, their creativity). Keep up the writing!
