Oh man, the nostalgia that comes with these sweets is unmatched. I remember my friends and I eating them on the way home on the school bus, our 7-year-old minds trying to figure out how the paper ‘wrapper’ of these candies were edible. Our childhood favourite White Rabbit candies are now available at 7-Eleven stores islandwide in three new flavours, namely, Coconut, Mango, and Coffee.
These well-loved candies will be sold in small packets for S$2 each, though you can get three packets for S$5. Select flavours will be available at different stores, so cross your fingers and hope you get lucky enough to try all of them.
The Coconut (S$2) flavour was unexpectedly good—it’s mildly sweet in the way that allows the original flavour of the White Rabbit candy to shine without being too overpowering.
I found that the Mango (S$2) fell on the more fruity and sugary end of the spectrum. Its bright orange White Rabbit packaging will not fail to catch your eye, and if you’re a fan of mango, this is the way to go.
The Coffee (S$2) flavour had sold out by the time I got there, which might indicate that this is perhaps a crowd-favourite—I mean, who can disagree that coffee and milk go perfectly hand in hand? My caffeine-addicted self will be scouring the shelves at various 7-Eleven outlets for this flavour, but if you’ve tried it and loved it, let us know too.
Of course, real OG fans (myself included), might think that the original White Rabbit flavour remains the champion. It’s sold in an extra-large packet for S$5, with 200g worth of candy wrapped individually and perfect for sharing with a friend while you reminisce about the good ol’ days.
