Candytopia looked insane,, but the biggest things I was impressed with is, how much time all those candy statues must have taken. You alway find the coolest places to visit.

9:33 That reminds me! Lisa looked at the Ice Cream that said "Candy Warhol, Xavier Nougat" in the Simpsons Episode called "Lisa gets an "A"".
You looked so joyful at the Candy place Jacob!. I was laughing and enjoying myself watching the video. I felt like a child , Lol.

The best part is Jacob going into the Marshmellow pit and almost losing his glasses. Thanks for sharing.
Candy bull parts....!! That was hilarious!

Well, a candy bull without candy balls is just a candy cow with candy horns.

With all due respect to Willy Wonka, this place truly is "a world of pure imagination."

I have seen 2 Willy Wonka movies starring Johnny Depp and Gene Wilder
I have to say this video made my day. Your reaction to the confetti was priceless thank you so much for being out there and bringing us this content
As a Texan it feels good for how much you praise Rudy"s xD Thanks for the visit and enjoy your stay partner!

Crap, now I got to go to Rudy’s. Here. I come moist brisket, cream corn and green chili stew. Yum!
this was truly inspired by Willy Wonka (mostly the rohlan Dahl book and Gene Wilder movie with hints of the Tim Burton film sprinkled in) 9:56 the thinker AKA: "Man on a potty"
All the candy stuff was crazy but also look at the actual museum with all its woodwork and other amenities thats place is crazy.
Mobil still uses the Pegasus to some degree. They must have gotten wind of how much Jacob enjoys compressed air. On the Space Shuttle, I seem to recall that the piggyback thing was one of those suggestions for a future way of launching. Maybe you were thinking of that.
I can tell the staff are having fun picking on you
Not a Rocket scientist? We love you anyway
I see the purple one known as Prince and I click. Very cool, it’s a Willy Wonka experience!

I want to own Black Licorice Prince. I wonder if they sell off the pieces once they are done with the exhibit.
Your road trip videos have been a pure joy to watch. I’m laughing and enjoying places that I would not normally go to. Now I want to stop at every roadside attraction to see what I’ve been missing. Thank you so much for all your hard work.
Great stop on the tour sir. Keep up the greatness! and Thank you.
One of the first... Funny thing is I’m coming outta a diabetic seizure right now-watching your video. Anyways another close call, but fun video

9:30 is THE best part
A very entertaining attraction. The candy animals were great but the artwork was amazing. You cracked me up seeing how much of a good time you were having. Just like a little kid. I love it. Enjoy your journey and say safe.
We have Candytopia in Atlanta. Its such cool place. I see what you did there Jacob with your Lemon Head Crocs on lol!!
This looks like such a fun place to be! I'm loving this "choose your adventure" style!
What a happy place. Thanks for sharing this
Mobil Gas Stations had the Pegasus logo
Love seeing you act like a big kid.
Enjoyed this video so much. Laughed out loud several times. But when you first enter the marshmallow pit, there is a marshmallow that made me nervous as it has unknown brown stuff on it and it was getting dangerously close to your mouth. 😂

You are killing it with this choose the adventure video series! It’s so nice being able to participate in where you go on your adventures!
Mobil Gas Station Pegasus and 10:26 The Bedroom by Vincent Van Gogh. Only know because he is my favorite painter.
When in Corpus Christi, make sure you see one of Columbus' ships, The Niña!
This place is fantastic!!!!! Very creative and looks like a lot of fun, especially the marshmallow pit!!!!
Got a real good laugh out of the confetti, especially the 3 back end pigs and the marshall mellow tub.
Every time I hear “HEY. You. all. Carpetbagger here, coming to you liiiive” it instantly puts me in a good mood. I know I’m about to see some awesome stuff and get a few laughs.
What a fun little adventure! Loving this road trip! 😊
It’s ok Jacob. You are a traveling vlogger. Not a space engineer or scientist. Anyone that thinks other wise is just playing themselves and should stop analyzing you under a microscope so hard. You are showing us where we should go to enjoy life and that’s all we want and we love you for it!
Glad your having such a great time in the confetti section
What I love about this video is his laugh, reminds me take time and smell the roses have fun and to go out and enjoy a good day!
Always dig when you pass through Texas I always find a new place I didnt know existed
Don't think that's diarrhea, more like the saying about unicorns farting rainbows LOL 🦄🌈 The candy art and statues were wonderful. Some talented work went into making them.

I call that four wheel drive. 🤪
We loved this, so happy you went to Candytopia. We wanted to check it out when it was up in NYC but never got the chance so it was so nice to see what it was all about.
I could tell by the expression on your face in the thumbnail that this was going to be a good one, and I was not disappointed. When you were "assaulted" in the confetti room, I laughed so hard I choked on my own spit.
The bedroom scene was originally painted by Vincent Van Gogh. That marshmallow pit was very funny Very very cool place to experience. Looks like you really had some well deserved fun.
Anyone else see the brown stained Marshmallow land on his mouth while he was covering himself?? 🤣🤣🤣
This looked well better than i was expecting! loved the probs and sets
All I can say is I love what this man does to getting scared on dark rides to screaming on fair rides to losing it on roller coaster and saying this one is in the bag :-)
This is great. Your doing a great job. Stay safe.
This looks so fun! By the way, the artwork with the bed is a Vincent Van Gogh piece. I believe it is based on his own bedroom.
Love it !!!! Had the place to your self it seemed 🍬🍭🍫 Thanks Jacob 👍
17:30 you are a grown man in a pit of marshmellows shoving them into an abyss for a unicorn by the bucket full. you are living your best life, for sure!
Looks very Fun and Amersive, I'll Might Try To Visit There Soon
I don’t think we’ve seen you giggle so much 😂
Finally, I know what the insides of a Dino look like. Thank youuu
A zipper store makes sense because eating that much candy will only make you fatter ! The amount of detail in those sculptures is insane.
You know the foods good when after you take that first bite, all you can do is shake your head and point at it.
I love Candy 💕
Hey, you, all... First...yeah buddy!!! Hope you're doing well Jacob, corpus Christi is going to be nuts I actually voted on that destination so...in the light of this video, hope you have a sweet time bro...
Candytopia looks awesome!
My favorite part is the ball pit of marshmallows 16:06
Definitely Roswell, NM… another awesome video!!!
I love the "Choose the Adventure". This is so cool and so much fun. Thank you Jacob for doing this to involve your fans. Stay safe. Stay blessed
Candytopia looked like fun for all ages
Yes you read my mind thanks for stopping at Rudy’s truly a great Texas BBQ joint
Looks like a lot of fun. looks like you had a blast!
You are doing a good job. Love your channel keep up the good work.
Enjoying all of your adventures! Loved the Marshmellow Cannon!
Nothing to be forgiven! We still love ya. Being a former Space crazy child, that was something I learned when I was young. Now it's something you know, too.
I am very much enjoying this series Jacob! Thank you for going to these places, I probably wouldn't ever see otherwise. Have fun and stay safe!
The staff seem so friendly and fun
I'm glad you are learning with us.
The pig butt confetti cracked me up so much! 🤣🤣
Thanks, Jacob. I had so much fun just watching you. Like soooo much!!! This is one my favourite places you have ever been! It's pretty hard to pass up Candytopia. Wow! How incredible! You have a knack for finding the nearest interactive art displays. I liked the garden room best of all. It felt like a party. Looks like a chocolate tree. I would have loved to have smelled the bubblegum flower Did they give you a bag or something for all that candy? That lion with the gummy worms was so incredible. The art piece you didn't know was Van Gogh's bedroom. My favourite though was black licorice Prince. I would buy that. That confetti attack was everything!! And a marshmallow ball pit. This has got to be heaven. Stop saying moist. I can't handle it. 🤪 This is a me problem, not a you problem, I realize. Well, they did call it Dinosaur Park, not Dinosaurs Park so the single dinosaur checks out. About the plane/rocket...Everybody makes mistakes, Jacob. No biggie. I am just happy that you don't let a fear of criticism from stopping you from doing new things.
Thanks for the correction on the space shuttle! Love when someone can admit when they are wrong 😀 Also I’m loving your road trip, it brings back so many memories in the early 60s when my mom and Dad drove us across the country on our car drives from Az to pa. Keep on trucking my friend! 👌😁😅🤔😮
My dad visited Corpus Christi a few times, one time he rescued a girl from floating out to sea while he was "trying" to surf
This is a great series of videos. It was a treat that you stopped at Rudy's on the way to Corpus Christy. It has been 4 years since I ate in one in Albuquerque.
Now I want candy. Where has this been all my life?🍡🍨🍬🍭🍫
Oh Gosh!..Thank you for showing such creativity as the Candytopia....I do love seeing how inventive artistic work is being created, in a way I never saw in growing up.....and, gotta hand it to the staff there, who work to make the experience fun and personal.....pure hard working recreational staff
I love how happy the marshmallow ball pit made you.
I got way behind and am catching up. Candytopia looked like a lot of fun . Keep Safe❤Keep Well ❤
Nice of the 'topia players to give you a personalized tour, Jacob!
Jacob.. you are an expert at making me smile !!!
It was in NY three years ago, had alot of fun. It was wonderful adventure.
Looks soo fun and cute 🥺
Orange is thr best tootsie pop!
04.55 chaos reigns… the famous painting you weren’t sure of was also Vincent Van Gogh
The confetti room had me cracking up!
My kind of road trip. I’m so glad I came across your channel.🚗💨💨💨
Candytopia! What a great name!! Isn't it amazing the things that you stumble apon? (PS I think that flying horse was a symbol for Mobile Gas ⛽).
Jacob you are a national treasure. You have given me so much joy during the pandemic. I’m sorry people were rude to you about not knowing every single thing about shuttles. 🙄 annoying. Keep on doing your thing. We love you!
I've been 2 Corpus Christi. I saw the original SHREK (DreamWorks). And when heading homeward, my family lost our Game Boy.
Hello Jacob and Awesome Work Bro, Thanks!!!!!👍👍😎 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸
Thanks Jacob!
Another Highlight of the trip, Jacob puts his head up a dinosaur butt. One can imagine what a passerby thought seeing it from another perspective.
Great job Jacob! It's been fun following you on your "Choose your own adventure" tour here at the start of 2022. Wish you good luck and a safe journey!

I wish he'd sell t-shirts that say, "I choose Carpetbagger's adventure 2022" with a list of a stops on the back like a rock band tour t-shirt.
Thankyou for such a "sweet "tour ...
Great vlog! Wherever you choose..I will watch. I have a good friend who lives in Houston..cannot wait to tell her about Candytopia! Thanks for the laughs! Be safe!
I’ve been in the Houston area for 17 years and have never heard of this place.
16:50 That poopy marshmallow went straight for your mouth xD
In my opinion, the only place worth visiting in Roswell is the Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge. It's beautiful and breathtaking!
I absolutely love these videos and they always make me feel as if I'm there. Very cool places! Thank you so much for all your dedication and work 💝 Best wishes ✨
So funny that the place giving out free candy everywhere would have a gift shop with even more candy for sale... :D
SELENA MUSEUM?! I don’t think you can film there, but they do allow lots of pictures. You can also see her memorial gravesite and statue on the Corpus Christi waterfront
It would be a match for Sugar Land 2 have a Candytopia since candy is evidently made of sugar!
