GIFTED: Bissinger's Gummy Pandas at Capogiro

| NaturalSolutionsMag.com |
| Panda party |
It's weird to walk in to Capogiro Gelato Artisans (119 S. 13th St.) and totally bypass that tempting spaceship full of cool, colorful cream.� But their candy selection --especially around the holidays-- is so good, sometimes you have to gird yourself and just keep on walkin', especially when buying treats for others.
I strolled right up to newcomer sweet Bissinger's Gummy Pandas, all-natural, organically sweetened gummies in antioxidant-laced flavors like Pink Grapefruit with Grapeseed, Goji Guava with Camu Camu, Blueberry Acai and Pomegranate White Tea.� The $4 resealable bag, perfectly sized for stocking stuffing,� yielded up a bounty of super-tender bears that were much more tart than sweet, a welcome change from your typical bouncy corn-syrup candy.�� As both a grapefruit and gummy aficionado I give these two snaps and a twist for the unexpectedly bright, clean flavor;� though I am suspicious of Bissinger's claim that the naturally-flavored� pandas "deliver good taste as well as nutrition."
Grab the pandas for your lucky recipients at the 13th St. Capogiro only; 20th St. store is expecting their shipment after the holidays.
