Who can take tomorrow, dip it in a dream, separate the sorrow, and collect up all the cream?
Limited Edition Foods is a rather inexplicable blog that I love to follow. It provides news and reviews of various promotional foods released to super markets. When the blog started out, the writing style was fairly straightforward, yet at some point, without explanation, the blog seemed to be handed off to a different writer with, well, a style all his own. This week's reviews of two limited edition Airheads products are good examples of classic LEF posts:
Rock Your Mouth Limited Time Airheads Flavors

They must have been sitting there a while because the Gamefly contest related to these limited time flavors went from last summer to this January...Basically these Rock Your Mouth flavors are major let downs. Not only are they way blander than the normal Airhead flavors, but the names of Flaming Hot and Slammin’ Sour are majorly misrepresented. Lastly the whole Rock Your Mouth aspect makes it seem like they should be flavorful and totally live up to the names of Flaming Hot and Slammin’ Sour. Thus the whole naming of these limited time flavors really add to the let down of them being so darn bland. Usually the limited time flavors are at least a good as the regular flavors, but these are sad. At least they are regular Airhead soft after all these months.
Spiderwick Chronicles Limited Time Airheads Flavors

I thought the Rock Your Mouth Airheads I posted about yesterday were an old find, but it turns out the Spiderwick Chronicles Airheads I picked up at the same gas station are even older. The Airheads promote the movie coming to theaters in February 2008. All I can say is Airheads age nicely and do not harden any more than normal even though they are over a year old. I know that Laffy Taffy gets unbearably hard in less than a year, but Airheads seem to take much longer to end up hard, as these are still fine.
It's worth taking a stroll through the archives if you get the chance.
