Today we have a Korean frog-egg kit and…. something else.

The frog kit contained powder that was dissolved in water, and then the the green liquid was droppered into the fluid:

I’d done something like this in a previous candy making kit, and it was no less impressive this time. The idea here is you’re making frog eggs, and it worked well and they looked convincing:

They were very slippery and difficult to remove, but here they are on the included spoon:

The taste was a subtle lime, although my friend (who gave this to me) thought it should have been cola! Regardless, this was a success 🙂

The other ‘kit’ – called Strange Syrup – contained a tray, a plastic spatula, and four little sachets of thick coloured syrup.

These had the consistency of thick honey, and were in four flavours: apple, orange, lemon and ramune (a Japanese sweet soda).

After we added them to the tray…. we didn’t know what to do. The instructions for the kit were terrible, and I even went to the company website and downloaded expanded instructions which were equally vague:

It seemed this was not so much a candy kit as a packet of four flavours you could mix together to use as a drink base? So with the remaining packets I did exactly this:

I then mixed them all together and then dissolved it in water.

It tasted awful. Truly, truly abysmal. I couldn’t pour it out fast enough.

So was this even a candy kit? Or a drink kit? I don’t know. Either way, it was a failure!
