Being an avid Mentos enthusiast, stumbling upon Richardson’s Party Patties felt like hitting the jackpot. Imagine my delight when I opened the box and found these little gems, each one reminiscent of the beloved Mentos. They were so delectable that I found myself on the verge of devouring the entire box before I even made it home. Each chew was meticulously wrapped, boasting a crisp candy shell that encased a delightfully chewy fruity center.

What adds to the charm of these treats is their delightful packaging, adorned with adorable retro artwork. The Party Patties come in three distinct flavors: orange, lemon, and strawberry. While all three are spot-on in terms of taste, the lemon flavor stood out as a personal favorite. There was an authenticity to these flavors that made me wonder if Mentos could take a leaf out of Richardson’s book when it came to fruit flavoring. The difference was so remarkable that I found it hard to imagine reverting to any fruit-flavored Mentos after this delightful encounter. Given my bi-weekly Mentos indulgence, this speaks volumes about the quality of Richardson’s Party Patties.

The burning question arises: where can you lay your hands on these scrumptious candies? For me, the journey began at Cost Plus World Market (my go-to spot). If you don’t have one nearby, fear not; their website is just a click away, offering a gateway to a world of fruity bliss.

And let's not forget the adorable bear featured on the packaging. So utterly cute that I couldn’t help but imagine having it emblazoned on a shirt. There's something about the innocence of this bear that perfectly encapsulates the sweetness of the candies inside, making the entire experience even more delightful.

So, whether you're a die-hard Mentos aficionado or just someone with a sweet tooth looking for an authentic fruity experience, Richardson’s Party Patties might just be your new go-to treat. Don’t miss out on the chance to indulge in these mouthwatering delights; your taste buds will thank you, and that cute bear might just win your heart.

Remember when Mickey Mouse decided to commit suicide?
Unless you lived in the 1930s or are a fan of vintage comic strips you might not be aware of the attempted Mickey Mouse suicide.
