Mike And Ike Connoisuership: Tropical Typhoon

Now returning, in what is apparently a series! (probably only a two part series) You demanded it! (you didn’t demand it) So here’s another Mike and Ike review.

Tropical Typhoon is much better than Berry Blast.

It’s a mix you might worry about, due to it’s heavy dependency on Banana flavors, seeing as two of it’s five flavors have the word Banana in their name (Strawberry-Banana and Kiwi-Banana), and you would be right to worry. Those two flavors are, by far the weakest of the set. You wouldn’t necessarily want to eat them alone, though the banana part of their flavor does fade away nicely when mixed with other flavors. I prioritized these for mixing, and it worked out okay. They just weren’t optimal.
However, the other three flavors more than make up for it. They have the robust, powerful flavor that Berry Blast completely misses, especially in the Punch and Mango flavors. You’re drawn to want to search and dig out more of those. They’re really great.

The only shame is that I rarely see Tropical Typhoon about. It’s always Berry Blast and Original Mix. It’s a shame, because I would certainly pick it up more often as a viable choice for mixing it up otherwise. I won’t waste my wish on that, though: Obviously, if I had to pick one Mix to show up all the time, it’s Lemonade Blends, all the way!

…I like candy, okay?

I demand more candy reviews. Review…. Skittles!
