Dried Blood

Yesteryear I started Halloween by writing about Blood Energy Potion.
Well, I saved some of it and dried it into these blood drops.
Since then they have lurked in the back of my pantry collecting ominous energy.
And this year long wait, has made me tired.

They are supposed to have a fruit punch/cherry flavor.
And they sure do smell like cherries. Bloody cherries!
The dried blood has a hard shell and a chewy center.
Like biting through a bone.



I do not know if they taste of cherries.
There is a fruity flavor, but not much cherry.
I am not a big fan of this type of candy.
So these were pretty, meh.

Vampire Bleeding Candles

Saw these in a store and thought to myself.
These look awesome. These look Halloweeny.
I had to buy them despite the fact that they were a bit expensive.
But come on... Bleeding candles!



They look like regular candles, but inside they are carrying something more sinister? Lightning them is no problem at all.
It takes a while for the white wax to disappear so we can get to the "blood" part.
You see, this is a very sinister contraption.
The white wax is not dripp but the red wax, hidden within dripps like theres no tomorrow.
You are left with a pretty dramatic scenery. Almost like blood from a real wound.
One remark is that when the red mixes with the white you get pink.
And pink is no blood colour.



Below are pictures of the effect:
Happy Halloween!

Blood Energy Potion

Halloween is upon us. Insert manical laughter!
Today I choose to be a vampire. A tired vampire.
I need to suuuck your blooood! You're blood energy potion?
This energy potion is supposed to have the same nutritional content as natural blood.
I'm not to sure about that, but let's try it out.



First of all, the bag looks lovely.
Just like an intravenous bag (well almost).
And the liquid itself is nice.
I think it looks a least close to real blood.



But i don't think real blood smells this fruity.
Yes, the "blood" is fruit punch flavoured.
It has a strange fruity scent that I can't place.
But the taste, it's like mango and raspberries blended together.
If this is what blood tastes like, sign me up for vampire land!

And for all of you real vampires out there who wants to try it, it has absolutely no garlic in it.
