Cubyrops

I'M SURE ALL OF YOU HAVE EATEN THIS SWEET BEFORE :D

It's called the Cubyrop, a sweet that originated from Japan. I didn't know until recently, when I went to Liang Court for Black Pig Ramen and at the counter, my aunt and I were taking this sweets like ~~mad~~ I-don't-know-what :D!

Here's a review on the sweet :

Yummy and fun. Two of my favorite things, and they come together in this candy. Cubyrop are little cubes of hard candy, in grapefruit, strawberry, pineapple, orange, muscat (white grapes), peach, lemon and grape. I don’t think I actually got any grape in my package, since I didn’t have any purple cubes (the colors of the candy match the fonts on the front of the package).

The cube shape makes these fun to play with. I built a little pyramid with them as I was preparing to taste the different flavors, and they lent themselves to this very well. The candies are a little sticky, and the pairs tend to stick together, sometimes causing the cubes to fall apart when I tried to separate them. I’m writing this from Indiana. Indiana is humid in the summer (and spring, and autumn, and sometimes winter). After sitting out for a few minutes, the candies became very sticky, enough to tear off a bit of the posterboard they were sitting on. It’s a good thing they’re wrapped in pairs, because otherwise I would have a congealed mass of cubes ten minutes after opening the bag.

And how do they taste, you ask? They’re excellent. They taste more like real fruit than candy, which makes sense, since the first three ingredients are sugar, corn syrup and fruit juice. The juices are strawberry, grape, pine, peach, melon, lemon and orange. I believe the pine is actually pineapple, or at least I hope so. They don’t taste like a Christmas tree, so I think that’s probably supposed to be the fruit. There is no candy that’s listed as melon flavor; rather, the flavor comes out in combination with others. It’s a little odd sometimes, but not bad. I’m not overly fond of the pineapple flavor, but that’s more of a personal thing than a flavor problem - I like a really sweet pineapple, and this isn’t. The grapefruit and peach are particularly good.

SCORE: 9 out of 10.

And let me continue about my cards. So I was playing with the cards, and found out something super weird... It may not be weird to you but at least it was fascinating to me :)

Firstly, arrange the cards in this order 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,J,Q,K,A,2 and place like each set of number in diamonds, clubs, hearts and spades order, with diamonds being on the top and spades at the bottom as shown above.

After sorting the cards out, put each set of 4 in the same 3 to 2 (Smallest to biggest) order, and the card which can be seen would be 3 diamonds.

"Give out" the cards into 4 piles, 1 pile will consist of 13 cards. In the order of 1,2,3,4. I don't care whether your 3 is to the left or right or god-knows where, but just give out in a 1,2,3,4 order and not 13 to the first pile, 13 to the second pile all at one go and so on and so forth.

By giving out the cards that way, Pile 1 would be all spades, Pile 2 would be all hearts, Pile 3 would be all clubs and Pile 4 would be all diamonds. And the order is like all from 2 to 3 (Biggest to smallest)

Then put the cards together again, first taking Pile 1, then Pile 2, Pile 3 and lastly Pile 4. The card which can be seen would be 2 diamonds.

"Give out" the cards into 4 piles again, this time round, the card is given out, from spades to diamonds. So it means, the cards are (somehow) messed up.

Pile 1 should turn out to be like this.

Put the cards together again, from Pile 1 to 4, the card that can be seen should be from Pile 4.

Give out the cards into 13 piles. There will be 4 cards in each pile. (Please be wise and give the cards out from 1- 13 and not 4 cards straight away for one pile)

NO. 1 FASCINATING POINT : If you check every pile of 4, the cards are in consecutive order.. Yes, no joke. I was damn amazed when I was opening every pile.

Put the cards back together again, the last card of Pile 13 should be the card that you can see.

Give out the cards into 13 piles again. (Once again, give the cards out from 1 - 13)

Open every pile and you'll realise that each pile contain a specific number and it's in the order from diamonds to spades. :D

COOL HUH!? :D

Anyway, went with family to AMKHub. I was busy playing with the W910i phone, first with the dummy phone which was red. I was super happy with the slide and keypads. Then I was waiting for this lady, who took a super long time to play with the real phone, which was black. I then took the phone to try it, and started typing and navigating around.

I SERIOUSLY LOVE THE KEYPAD! IT'S JUST LIKE MY PANASONIC VS6'S KEYPAD! :D
