I was thinking maybe one of the Jolly Rancher flavors.<BR/><BR/>I've tried some of the mangostein "tonic" before also - it's quite tart and a little bitter.

My homeopathic doctor has been trying to get me to use "Xango" mangosteen juice for years, but I can't shell out the bucks for it. My sister is a "dealer" of the stuff. But, as for the candy that tastes like mangosteen, I would have to guess that there must be a Starburst somewhere that tastes like it...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
