Heyho, I had a great idea for a birthday gift, but due to circumstances have to rethink quickly and now I am trying to create a collection of many small fancy things as the giftee (aka the person that receives the gift) in the past introduced Miracle Berrys into our group (they make sour taste sweet). So anything unusual and interesting counts.

So currently I have on my list:

  • Butterfly Pea Tea (changes color when in contact with acid; lemon)
  • Pop Rocks (exploding powder)

What else could be interesting? Germany if that matters.

    I don’t think it’s particularly surprising, but I am a big fan of different flavors of honey from different flower species, and often they sell variety packs of these from local honey places which imo is fancy and interesting.

    Jones Soda and Jelly Bellies make odd flavored items that some people really like.

    There’s also rock candy that looks like pebbles or crystals depending on the version.

    There’s also online popular candies (often sold by local vendors too) like the fancy marshmellows, cotton candy, and freeze dried candies.

    Also yellow kiwis, yellow watermelons, and other surprising colored fruits

    Buzz buttons! I tried it once as a cocktail garnish. They’re these edible yellow flowers that give a numbing, tingling (not spicy) pop rocks sensation. Rare to see, but you can plant them yourself or buy some online.
