Also I can't find this one. Maybe I am reading it wrong. Lolumoianum ??

Hellfrucht = Moneymaker = Sweet-N-Bright, is what I've read in the past.

Columbianum, if you're reading it wrong (some labels are missing the tops of letters).

Or, Columbianum, if it's my label and I wrote it wrong.

Charline,

Deep Space comes from Marina in Russia and, from what I understand, it is a very tasty paste. Originally, she named it Snickers, but there is already a Snickers tomato, so she renamed it. Hopefully, with this information, you can find out some more info on it here on TV.

Cheers,
Linda

It was sending you either Deep Space, or the "candy bar" (which I really thought about).

At one of our local stores, they have huge Snicker's bars, I think they are 1 lb each.

Scary.

I'm likely going to show my age, as the last time I bought a Snickers bar it was about 20 cents.

I have one I can't find online and am not sure of the name. It's either Martina or perhaps Mr. Tina? Has a small white label with dark blue or black ink , no other name or info on it.

Any one know about this one?

I think the huge Snicker's is like $12.99. More scary!!

Could you imagine a kid getting one of those in his bag for trick or treat?!! Sugar coma.

A sugar coma is a child downing a few parchment bags full of royal icing, along with a pound or so of candy, while building a gingerbread house. I've seen it so often that I know the next day they will almost get sick just looking at a piece of candy.

And, did you show them the candy the next day?

It's akin to a hangover, both are effects from the acute withdrawal of sugars. That is why some one who is drunk may eat a higher carb meal before sleeping it off- the carbs tide them over a bit- some it doesn't work for. Or, a small glass of OJ with sugar mixed in to it ( vile!) will usually help a lot.

I never would get hang overs, but I have known some who got them really badly.

I would be extra chipper just for them the next morning!

And it probably tasted 100% better than today's version. It's been a few years since I've had more than the bite-sized version found in a miniatures bag. You're not missing anything.

Yes, I did show them the candy the next day. I had to. They were teenage volunteers helping younger children build the gingerbread houses on a Saturday and Sunday. Their mom was telling them not to eat that much. I told her to let them have their fill that day, because the next day they will not want to touch one piece, and they will be much more helpful to the younger ones.

Now you reminded me that I did buy one Snickers "bar" in the past few decades... at the fair, deep fried, being the worst fair food I've ever eaten in my life, and that's a lot of sampling in 50+ years .
