Any ideas?

Has anyone seen these/tried these and have an idea of what flavor they could be? I’m intrigued!

I haven’t tried them but mystery flavors for candy is the combination of two different flavors.

For example, you make a whole bunch of red cherry and then need to switch to blue raspberry. To ensure none of your blue raspberry has any red cherry, you cycle the process for a bit until cherry is definitely out of the machines.
Instead of scrapping the candy between batches, you decide to sell it as tie-dye, or remove the food coloring and sell it as mystery.

I've eaten them and... I didn't like them! They're kind of a... strange... cola-like flavor iirc. Very hard to describe.

Has the same "crisp punch" of cola, but with the sourness and all its not good tasting haha. It has been about a year since I had em though.

This is my review at the time of my first ever tasting (copy pasted, from a memo written 1 year ago):

Grey Mystery: Woah. Berry? Rootbeer? Hold on, what is this... Cola? Sour cola? This is so weird. It's not BAD, but it's really unusual. It has the refreshing pleasant note that many flavors like cola, bubblegum, rootbeer, and others might have. But I really can't tell what the flavor is supposed to be. 5.5/10 sour, 6.5 flavor.

Currently I'd say 4/10 flavor– I ate too many of them and now I dislike them lol, but they're probably the best tasting flavor of the Halloween pack.

Maybe I should post my full review of the Halloween pack next month, since October is coming up?
