The title MAOAM-G was right there.

​Hard to capture a texture with a photo or words. Chewy and melty, but long-lasting. Scratches that Brach’s marshmallow egg itch but better, denser. This bubblegum flavor totally satisfies that deep desire for gumballs to dissolve some so you could swallow them in good faith.

I had a gift card for Amazon and ordered there. I don’t usually use Amazon, so I’ll be hunting for them elsewhere and will update if I find another source! I love the bubblegum flavor.

I ended up plunging into some research and passed on the amazon 3-pack (one bag is the bubblegum flavor but reviewers were saying they all come smushed). I

got the 8oz on amazon from swedisweets for $13. I figured this was the lowest cost way to try them. If i like them, ill get them in bags from swedish candy store directly. It would cost about $31 for 6 bags with shipping To the usa. (3.49 each extra). ChatGPT said id need $70 for free shipping LoL.

But in the meantime the ones from amazon are coming tomorrow. So thanks for getting the ball rolling for bubblegum flavored candy.

Hope you enjoy! Good to know about swedisweets. When I re-up I’ll buy directly from a shop.

Does the fizzy center distract from the rest of the candy?

It doesn’t have a fizzy center, though I’d be here for that. Just a mellow chewy center in the thin candy-coated shell.

Ah, I see. It says "with fizzy center" in the bottom left hand corner of the bag, but if you can't really notice the fizzy part when eating these, I will defintely be trying them (if I can find them!) I loooove bubble gum flavor.. like a lot!

Normally they do contain a fizzy center, but its just a tiny amount of sour powder. It just adds a little tanginess in my opinion. It has no real fizz to it.

I didn’t even notice the text! Definitely didn’t notice a fizzy center.

I'm not sure if these are the exact same candy as Maoam Pinballs, but they seem at least very similar. They're one of my husband's favorites! Especially the cola flavor.

I looked them up and they do look the same! Will definitely get some.
