Fruit snacks and energy drinks, oh my!

Post by Oldphan » Mon Feb 02, 2009 10:19 am

Hey all! Good to finally have this place back. Did anyone else see this stuff? A Super Saiyan energy drink, and Senzu Bean gummy snacks! Bracks made Dragonball gummy snacks years ago, but these are totally new.

You can buy the energy drink here:

But not sure were to get the candy yet. It was spotted in the latest issue of Previews magazine by someone on my forum.

If I drink this and don't have the ability to slice a mountain, I am suing.

I had an energy drink once. Fortunately, the kitchen was supposed to be painted.

I remeber seeing Dragon Ball Z-related food products in Italy. Almost every garbage can had an empty bag of Dragon Ball chips! :lol:

Woah, they're still making those? I remember my mom searching high and low for the Dragon Ball GT Eggs (Maybe it was Z? I remember a GT Trunks figure being involved) when I was younger.

I had to settle for Kinder chocolate. :o

Saddest part is, if I bought one, I would keep the can. :oops:

I'd totally do that too. I really want to buy that cola (though I'd prefer the Trunks cola) and those senzu. I'd never open 'em.

Well if I planned to not open them, I would buy one that I could open.

But there's always the risk it could taste so fantastic, that the can would just be sitting there, taunting me, day by day, daring me to have just one more can, begging to be inside of me.........

But as another poster said, it would probably taste like crap. :wink:

Now I want to visit Italy even more. O_O


OT; I have a box of sour "Spirit Bomb" candy up in my room somewhere. I ate some of them; but didn't care for 'um too much. Suncoast was carrying those, Cell arc themed chocolate bars, and these long tube things full of some other type of sour DB balls at one point.

I remember the Dragon Ball Z gum from about 7 years ago. Came with stickers. I had a book full of them. I'd spend most of my money on these 10c gums, just to have the stickers, because it sure as hell wasn't for the gum. It was like chewing on rubber.

I may just have to pick up that drink...Even if it tastes nasty. I'll buy 2. One to drink and one for display.

I've always wanted to eat a Senzu...

May I recommend having the shit beat out of you, then eating one just to see if they work? If they don't you can just sue for false advertising.
New to the forum? Just want to know when you'll hit your next posting rank? Ever wondered why some users have special titles, and what they mean? The answers to all these questions and more are waiting for you in the Kanzenshuu Member Hierarchy Guide!!

Sad thing is, in today's over-litigious society, someone will probably actually do that.

I wouldn't mind having actual working dragonballs. :mrgreen:

I used to have the senzu bean candy and they were actually really good. I originally saved the box, but it got thrown away at some point.

I would love to get those senzu beans and put them in that senzu bean jar they sell. None of my friends would understand why the Hell I'd have fruit snacks in a Japanese jar thingy but, I would think it was cool. :?

Is that a chicken dressed up as Goku? On a package of some fried chicken related snack? :shock:


And senzu jelly beans! X3


I think my favorite package is the one where Goku's riding Kinto'un.
Very cool stuff.
