Posted by Matty On July - 16 - 2010

Albanese Gummis Sour Inch Worms calls themselves World’s Best. Not country’s best. Not state’s best. WORLD’S BEST. Us Candygurus calls thems fighting words. A new candy maker creating a semi-tired, yet tried/true, sour worm gummi and calling them “Worlds Best?” We’ll be the judges of that.

Katjes Chile Heringe: Umm …. I f*&^ing LOVE these

Posted by Matty On May - 21 - 2010

Dammit if the Dutch aren’t just super right on. They make great licorice. They aren’t afraid of really pushing anise. They don’t pretend to cater to children. They play to adults. And they use salt. Like all good cooks.

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.
