Apparently Trix ARE for kids : Fruchtiger Knusper Puffreis

Posted by Jonny On September - 7 - 2010

I had to buy these to check them out.

I used to love Good & Plenty. Now, I’m ruined. These take licorice to the HNL.

Ritter-Sport: New (and Old?) Chocolate Bars FTW

Posted by Matty On August - 31 - 2010

I may have eaten more chocolate over the last 2 weeks than I’ve ever eaten in a 2-week span because dammit if the Ritter-Sport people didn’t send us like 9 chocolate bars. Read the review and watch our 32 second take on one flavor, here:

Vero Mango: The Red Dirt Flavor Journey

Posted by Matty On June - 25 - 2010

“I taste loads of tamarind, and spice and salt.” Which country made the candy I’m eating? Mexico. Of course! Tamarind is to Mexican candy like mustard is to American hot dogs – slopped on there every time whether you want it or not. Vero Mangos though…kinda yums.

Who’s Up For A Soybean Kit Kat?

Really? ANOTHER great candy that we can’t get in America???

Sweaty candy ‘aint a good thing.

Here’s a first- candy from Ireland. Will it suck, or stay strong like the rest of Europe?

Chupa Chups – To Suck or not to Suck, that is the Question.

Posted by Scotty On February - 22 - 2010

If you ask my daughter what her favorite baseball team is the answer will probably be the same as the answer to the question what is your favorite dessert or princess dress or shoes or flavor of lollipop or color. PINK. The girl is all about pink and luckily there are at least a half [...]

Haribo Happy Cola Lemon Fresh-They’re Not NOT “Avatar!”

Posted by Jonny On February - 17 - 2010

Best. Gummy. Ever?

I have never quite had anything like it. The nougat really is great, crispy, crunchy, sweet with a touch of honey flavor. There is almost no tooth stick unlike what I was expecting and the fantastic almonds are muey plentiful and somehow sweet – I think – could be the nougat. They boast a 63% almond content. There is a weird paper on both sides of the bar – something like rice paper – but it didn’t really bother me.

2010: The Year of Mierda Candy

Posted by Matty On February - 12 - 2010

Every year I like to do a candy bash post. For 2010, may I forever pray you don’t go anywhere near the three candies in this post.

Umeboshi – No, They’re Not Shrunken Heads.

Salt. Sour. Sweet. Okinawa.

Rock Band, Yogurt and Haribo Jogi Bussi

Posted by Scotty On February - 8 - 2010

The crowd goes wild. Haribo Jogi Bussi is pretty darn good. Thick gummy texture. Haribo’s signiture fruity flavors and a twist – these are actually filled with liquid yogurt. 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.

Rock Some Ass With Super Lemon!

Rowntrees Juicy Jellies, Yummy Smellies!

Maoam Kracher – High End Mentos? Is That Even A Good Thing?

Katje’s Tappsy – Marshy Licorice Hell

Posted by Matty On December - 9 - 2009

What do you get when you take three numbskulls getting burritos in the City, and give them 2 bags of spongey licorice crappiness? Hijinks.

Haribo Sour Strawbs Don’t Disappoint

Posted by Jonny On December - 4 - 2009

The first of many direct-from-Germany candy reviews!

“Twilight” Can Kiss My Ass, And So Can These.

Posted by Jonny On November - 20 - 2009

I love Haribo. I love Gummies. I love licorice. Yet I hate myself, why?

Chock Full Of Eastern Promise, and Goo!

Posted by Jonny On November - 13 - 2009

Last Monday was a good day.  Sure, I had lost my fantasy football matchup the weekend before, and yes, I was still full of self loathing and disdain, but…that’s just Monday, right?  The reason this particular Monday was so excellent is due to the fact that not one, not two, but three of my co-workers [...]

A Cornucopia of Asian…Candy?

Posted by Jonny On November - 6 - 2009

Soda Flavored Gummy Rolls – Haribo Style

Posted by Jonny On October - 28 - 2009

Haribo’s cola flavored snails look nothing like snails. But the taste? EXACTLY like them! Er…wait.

Haribo Bumix: Bad name. Bad candy.

Posted by Matty On October - 11 - 2009

If this was the first and only thing you ever ate from Haribo you might hold a grudge or swear off German candy forever. Jonny, Scotty and I review these badboys on video.
