Tag: silica gel candy

Hi everyone!

There is a new, updated “silica gel candy” batch being sold right now! I wasn’t happy with the flavour of the last batch so I wanted to make sure to improve it.

Main changes:

✎ Better flavour!
✎ More “classic silica gel” feeling type paper (it kinda freaks me out)
✎ New ingredients: Sugar, Glucose, Malt Syrup, Arabic Gum, Artificial Flavour

The only downside is that the paper doesn’t rip very nicely, and it’s hard to get a perfect rip! I personally feel like the new positives outweigh this negative, but if you feel that the ripping process makes the candy experience really annoying, then please let me know! If people don’t like it, then I can look into improve it in the future.

I was planning on making a candy sale to celebrate this new batch, but things are a little crazy over here for now, so that’ll probably happen sometime in January. However, if you’ve already read this far and you’re interested in the candy, you can type in DoNotEat at checkout to get a big discount on the candy. This code is only written here! 🙂

Take care.

The silica gel candy is back again for its third batch. Thanks for your patience – the shipping took much longer than previously.

There are a couple of changes this round:

✎ New print design
✎ Smaller candy spheres
✎ A more subtle flavour*

* I don’t feel that the candy company landed the flavour this round, it tastes a bit more generic and is smaller than I had hoped. But because of this, I am planning to sell larger discount packs of this batch sometime in the near future so that I can eventually focus on batch 4 and try to make improvements! I’m considering another giveaway too.

A note on the packaging: From the start, the reason I’ve been doing custom packaging with my very own fonts and placements on the paper was so that people can distinctly tell which packet is a Wask one versus real silica gel packets.

I’m curious what your thoughts would be if I actually used some of the common printed silica gel designs that are already out there? I thought to myself that it’s more risky since it can be swapped with a real silica gel discreetly, but the only situation I can think of would be if you’re snacking on your own silica gel packets and somebody else decides to swap in a real one in your snack bowl!

Thoughts? 🤔

The “DO NOT EAT” candy is back! It took me sooooo long because there were many bumps in the road – the first one being that I had to find an entirely new candy supplier! It took forever to find a suitable candy. I actually still prefer the flavour of the old one, but I think the new one is fine! If you bought the new one already, can you easily guess the flavour? 🙂

There are some distinct differences between this new batch and the previous one.

The new version:

✎ New print design
✎ Different type of paper
✎ Larger candy
✎ New flavour & ingredients (Glucose, Sugar, DL-malic acid, Artificial Flavors)

As a refresher, the old ingredients were: Sugar, malt syrup, glucose, food additives, citric acid, malic acid, flavour.

Update October 31st: Some of the candy packets are extra crumpled because they were squished during their arrival to me. I started putting those aside and I’m selling them at a large discount on this link, so feel free to grab those if you don’t mind their wrinkly appearance! (Note: The discount candy is now out of stock, but once the full candy restock is here, I will keep adding more discount candy periodically onto the same link!)
