As a kid, when I ate a white rabbit candy for the first time, I tried to peel off the plastic thing.
As did we all, I’m sure.
My mum was like, “Aiyo! That one can eat one la!”
And then I was like:
I was like, “Is it my mum wanna poison me?! I knew it! She loves gor-gor more than me!”
Of course, later after trying it, I learnt that it truly was edible.
In case you don’t even know what I’m talking about or what white rabbit candy is, it’s this nostalgia-flavoured snack:
Yes, this somehow-coated-by-plastic candy is all it takes for me to feel like a dumb blissful primary school kid once more. Want a longer trip down memory lane? Check out this article.
Capitalising on nostalgia is an easy business tactic, as it pretty much guarantees a hook onto potential customers.
There was a Starbucks White Rabbit Candy drink. And then there were White Rabbit Shower Cream & Lotion.
So, what’s next?
White Rabbit Candy Smoothie
UNICE Singapore has the next treat in store for you.
Get it? Treat? In store? Eh? Heh heh?
Treat as in treats/sweets? Store as in store, as in… okay never mind let’s move on.
In case you’re unfamiliar with the shop, UNICE is a local startup that features innovative forms of cold desserts and beverages marketed towards youngsters.
Their latest innovation transforms our childhood candy into an Instagrammable smoothie.

Priced at only $3.90 a cup, it’s surely more affordable than everyone’s Xing Fu Tang boba and even a regular Starbucks drink.
If it truly tastes accurate to the snack we all know and love, then this smoothie will possibly be sickeningly sweet.
Maybe it’s just me, but the smoothie painting a white canvas behind the unicorn logo makes for a really nice image.
Are you wondering how good it is before deciding if you’re going to make a trip down?

A user called PaoPaoChoy, who apparently reviews bubble teas in Singapore, has made a review on the White Rabbit Candy Smoothie.
Seems like I was right about the sweetness, but apparently it’s adjustable so if you don’t have an immensely sweet tooth, be sure to ask for a lower sugar level.
Otherwise, it appears that it’s a pretty satisfying drink aside from the mango flavoured pearls, but you could probably request them to be removed with his knowledge beforehand.
If you want to make a trip down, they’re located at:
#B2-135 Northpoint City (South Wing), 769098 Singapore
If you do manage to try it, do let us know your personal review!
