They taste like sugar and more sugar and may make you ill after but are strangely addicting. Anyone else tried popin cooking?
I want to try it, but I don't want to have to pay to import a product that's already pretty overpriced.

pretty sure you aren't supposed to eat them, you just make them and have little toys afterwards

I bought an assortment pack of them on Amazon. They were a lot of fun. They weren't bad-tasting IMHO but certainly one of those things where the journey is more important than the destination, if you know what I mean.

Different product, anon.

You can find them in candy stores.
None of the japanese novelty candies I've tasted have ever been delicious where I've wanted to finish the product.
I tried pic related. Not really worth what I paid to ship it here. The process of making the candy was cool, but overall not pleasant to taste after a few small nibbles.

I like the chewy milk candies. They're not particularly amazing, just unique and I've yet to find a domestic equivalent. Original/vanilla flavor is best. Chocolate is worst, it's pretty much a tootsie roll.

Maybe you are thinking of Konapun?
I love these, so strangely hypnotic to watch. http://youtu.be/ujhseHCwWhE?list=PLA3BF00C1D576A684

Yeah they are edible. But it is pretty much straight up sugar and flavourings so not the healthiest stuff.
The best tasting one I had was the fish eggs from the sushi but that may have been because I liked the popping ball structure. Those were also really fun to make.

If you like that kind of texture you could look into sphereification/reverse sphereification- then you could make pretty much any flavorful fluid into little popping spheres.
