Haribo Cola Sour Spaghetti

The evolution of the sour straw, done by the masters

Cadbury Lolly Bag

So many things to learn, so many preconceived notions to shatter. Lots of stuff going on here.

Marks & Spencer American Hard Gums

The old saying goes “Goody goody gumdrop”. BUT ARE THEY GOOD?

Keeping Current.  Keeping Black Currant.

Keeping Current. Keeping Black Currant.

Since we reviewed Haribo's delicious black currant flavored sour "belt" type candy last time, let's stick with the black currant theme and roll on with these: "Keystered" in the country by a mule hired discreetly by my pal Johnny M, these things are more or less...

Salute The Flag, Kids.  Haribo Flags, Of Course!

Salute The Flag, Kids. Haribo Flags, Of Course!

Any time you see a candy like this, you can pretty much bank on the taste : super powerful sour power mixed with the typical sour flavors : apple, cherry, or the non-existent yet always-there blue raspberry. Haribo's other offering like this is called fruity pasta. I...

Altoids Ginger – Darn goood, but ultimately who cares?

Altoids Ginger – Darn goood, but ultimately who cares?

A mint isn't really a "candy", is it?  Regardless of how good it is, it's still not fun.  No one camps out in front of a bad horror movie with a tin of mints, do they?  If they do, I don't want to hang out with that person.  It's just weird.   Having said that,...

Twix Coconut, Please!  And…Hold The Coconut?

Twix Coconut, Please! And…Hold The Coconut?

I'm not happy. What the hell is going on with all these candy companies making coconut flavored candies (a good thing) and then not putting COCONUT IN THEM (not so great)??!! Who's piloting this ship? Is it really that expensive? I can get a 2 pound bag of sweetened...
