Comment on Villosa Sallos Black & White Licorice : This Aint Yo Momma’s Good & Plenty! by Susie

Bloody HELL! Seems like I am either a gold digger or German sweets generally deserve at least a 7 star rating. Please do me a favour and post a really BAD review for one of my goodies – might get a bit too self-absorbed otherwise.. Good review – well done!

These are unba. Better than dolfin blues from Katjes? Not sure about that. I’d eat both all the time. But these are more licorice-y at the end. Like Jonny wrote, there are various layers to these. They change as you eat them. The Katjes don’t.

Wow — these are better than the salty dolphin licorice from Cost Plus? I’m VERY intrigued and impressed.

Ahh I see… thanks for the info! I will look elsewhere. The saft bear, though indeed slightly softer than a regular haribo bear, is named for its 22% fruit juice content (saft = juice in german). They will be obtained, it’s only a matter of time…

Damn I love Ritters.Glad to hear about the Strawberry creme, I definitely am on the lookout for that one.

I agree with Mark as well.grab the knuskperflake when you see it.

Was Ritter named after the late John Ritter?
Should have been. I loved him.

I agree with Mark D…the cornflake Ritter is the best. Followed closely by the coconut-filled one. Damn, that shit is good. #3 fave is the dark chocolate with hazelnut. I fridge all my Ritters, not just the ones with creamy centers. The peppermint is amazing cold.

And the lime saft (soft?) bears sound incredible. Please let us know if you find them…

It’s true, I do have issues with them. For instance, here’s what their site just said when I clicked through to it, twice in a row:

“Bandwidth Limit Exceeded
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to the site owner reaching his/her bandwidth limit. Please try again later. ”

Not cool. Also, I actually PLACED an order with them months ago. After 2 weeks of no response, I called and emailed them, and got nothing. Then I called again and spoke to someone who said “it’s shipping in 2 days”. It didn’t. I left several more emails complaining, and asking for a refund.

Finally I dropped the fact that I’m part of Candygurus.com-and magically, in MINUTES, I had a refund via Paypal.

I was considering lambasting them in a formal “review”, but chose not to. However, if I were you, I’d look elsewhere for your hard to find candy. They don’t HAVE it-they claim they do, but they actually re-up their orders AFTER you place an order, which makes for huge delays and sometimes unavailability.

Check our section on our home page “where to buy”–all of those vendors are reliable and communicative.

Ritter Sport is the best, IMO. I’m glad you guys finally got to review them. They didn’t send you the Cornflakes bar though, which is in my top 5 for candy bars. Also, no catchy advertising for this one? The Next Organics review video had one.

The lime saft bear is so tasty- basically a classic Haribo gummi bear made with lime juice. If I manage to successfully track enough down, I can send some your way.

Susan – you sound like you know your stuff.
I never actually bought these…and now I’m not sure I ever will.

Lime flavored gummi? Sounds promising.
And we know Eurofoodmart. We’ve had issues with them…I’ll let Jonny pipe in if he wants to.
