Introducing sweet, salty, and smooth breast milk-flavored ice cream
What does breast milk flavored ice cream taste like? USA TODAY trend reporter Greta Cross tries limited edition flavors.
If breast milk flavored ice cream isn’t enough for you, how about booger?
Frida, a lifestyle brand for parents known for its breast milk ice cream, launched Boogie Bites candy on Monday, October 27th. The sweet and sour gummies come in three shapes and colors and were designed to resemble the “real thing,” according to a Frida news release.
Boogie Bites is not the first of its kind. Launched in 2007, Jelly Belly’s BeanBoozled has long been a popular game that involves combining two jelly beans that look similar but taste very different. One of the original flavor combinations was booger and juicy pear.
Frida released the gummies not as a game, but to promote Nose Frida, the brand’s nasal aspirator that can be used to clear nasal congestion in babies and toddlers.
Frida became a hot topic this summer when she released a breast milk-flavored ice cream. Although it’s not actually made with real breast milk, the ice cream is “sweet, slightly salty, smooth, with a honey flavor and a sprinkle of colostrum, with the distinctive yellow flavor of colostrum,” Frida previously told USA TODAY. This ice cream was created in collaboration with OddFellows, a small batch ice cream company based in New York. Not currently available for purchase.
Where to buy Boogie Bites candy
Starting Monday, Oct. 27, Boogie Bites will be available exclusively through consumer goods delivery service GoPuff for $3.99, according to a Frida news release. The candy will be sold in markets including New York City, Los Angeles, Houston, Chicago, Miami, Dallas, Boston and Philadelphia, Frieda’s statement said.
Does Boogie Bites candy actually contain boogers?
No, Boogie Bites are not made from real boogers. According to Frida’s statement, the full ingredient list includes tapioca syrup, sugar, distilled water, pectin, ascorbic acid, citric acid, natural flavors, turmeric (color), spirulina extract (color), salt, and fruit and vegetable juices (color).
