Gimbal’s Cherry Lover’s – Nine Cherry Favorites

Reviewed by Scotty on Apr 11, 2010

These are well made, heart shaped Jelly Beanish chews in 9 distinct cherry flavors. I kind of dig them,. And as touted, I can really taste the cherry juice - and they are very juicy.

Wonka’s Exceptionals: Chocolate Bars – disappointing, unless you’re an Oompa.

Reviewed by Scotty on Mar 22, 2010

I looked up "exceptional" in the dictionary and found that it means unusually excellent or superior, extremely rare and extraordinary.

El Almendro Turron Duro – Why create specific dates for happiness?

Reviewed by Scotty on Feb 15, 2010

I have never quite had anything like it. The nougat really is great, crispy, crunchy, sweet with a touch of honey flavor.

There is a weird paper on both sides of the bar – something like rice paper – but it didn’t really bother me.

Rock Band, Yogurt and Haribo Jogi Bussi

Reviewed by Scotty on Feb 8, 2010

They also have that layer of foam on the bottom that seems perfect as an addition to Haribo's gummy's but too much when its the main course. This all worked perfectly for me.

Bissinger Gummy Pandas: Overpriced Candy Better Be Damn good!

Reviewed by Scotty on Jan 18, 2010

Organic grapefruit flavored gummies outrageously priced at $4.50 for a 4 ounce bag from Bissinger's - the Choice of Kings and Connoisseurs. Don't want to ruffle any royal feathers - but these ain't worth a king's ransom.
