Bing Bong's Sweet Stuff, nestled in Pixar Pier at Disney California Adventure, is a delightfully over-the-top candy shop inspired by the lovable imaginary friend from Inside Out. It feels like stepping inside Bing Bong's colorful memory vault--complete with vibrant decor, themed merchandise, whimsical slushies, and yes, tons of rice crispy treats.
Atmosphere & Vibes
The store bursts with bright hues, balloons, and popcorn-shaped decorations on the ceiling and floor. Iconic Pixar touches--like rainbow unicorns and Jangles the Clown--set a cheerful, playful tone. It's a candy wonderland that's fun just to explore.
Memory Refreshers (Slushies)
The slushies, known as Memory Refreshers, are a big hit: combination drinks in flavors like cherry, blue raspberry, or layered mixes (e.g. Rainbow Unicorn or Slow Burn) cluttered with popping pearls and Nerds candies.
Redditors say: "It was like 6 or 7 flavors of slurpee's all in one cup... Holy shnikeys this stuff is good."
Multiple reviews say these slushes are fantastic on hot days--colorful, creative, and sweet!
Specialty Sweets
Here's your go-to list of indulgent goodies:
