For today’s review, I will be taking a look at a candy I see all around Ireland: Maoam Pinballs. Apparently, they are just as common around the UK as well, though these are definitely not as popular as their Stripes. At first, I was a bit nervous about this candy, as the Stripes were out…
On Monday, I reviewed the mango, grapefruit, and lychee FruTips that I bought in China. Today, I’ll review their regular flavor assortment. The regular FruTips were the same size and texture as their specialized flavor counterparts, and they also contained lychee flavored jellies (white). You can refer to Monday’s review for my notes on texture…
I got these Fruit Vines Bites as free samples the day before I left for Shanghai. Now that I’m back and mostly no longer jet-lagged, I can get around to reviewing them! Fruit Vines Bites are a new candy from the Red Vines folks that currently come in cherry and strawberry. They were little chunks…
I got this bag of Sour Smog Balls in my free MunchPak box of assorted snacks. The bag promised?”crunchy candy with a sour chewy center” in six different flavors. Each Sour Smog Ball was a marbled sphere with a bracingly sour hard, crunchy sugar shell around a chewy center. It took a little jaw strength…
I recently received a free box of treats from MunchPak (more details on that tomorrow), including this bag of Sour Skittles. They’re not a new addition to the Skittles line-up, but they do now feature green apple instead of lime. Sour Skittles Flavors: The other flavors were cherry, orange, lemon, and grape – the same…
I’ve done two Mentos reviews in the past (one of which was for a flavor sold in Asia), so it’s about time I covered them again. This round, I’m reviewing the Mentos Rainbow. Mentos are oblate spheroid candies with a crunchy candy shell and a chewy center. There were 11 to my roll: 2 each…
Airheads Bites Fruit Reviews 2022 AirHeads Bites are a new product being handed out at Sweets and Snacks. We used to sell AirHeads as a fundraiser when I was in grade school, and I have nostalgic memories of tearing up AirHeads, wrapping the bits around my fingers, and licking my fingers until I was a…
Skittles Darkside are a new addition to the Skittles line. They’ve apparently been around since January, when Cybele reviewed them on Candy Blog, though I only caught them recently at a gas station pit stop. The tagline for Skittles Darkside?is “the other side of the rainbow”. The flavors were Dark Berry (purple), Pomegranate (red), Forbidden…
These Hi-Chew Fanta flavors were found and purchased at an Asian grocery store in my hometown. I think this is the first time that Hi-Chew has partnered with another brand for their chews! From the outside, the Hi-Chew Fanta looked like standard Hi-Chew fare – rectangular prisms of a colored center enveloped in an off-white…
This week?s review items come courtesy of Nana and Justin, a couple of college friends of mine who are?living, teaching, and blogging in Japan?and who are kind enough to mail me Japanese goodies from time to time. According to Nana, limes are a Kyushu specialty, so it makes sense that they’d have a candy to…
