New! UK Skittles Wild Berry Review

-

When I heard these Wild Berry flavour Skittles were being launched in the UK I was very excited to try them, especially as I remembered they were also available in the early 2000's in some kind of trial format. I ate them regularly in medium-sized bags at the time and became rather addicted; once they disappeared I thought they were gone for good!


Luckily they've now been launched in the UK on a permanent basis - hurrah! The flavours consist of Raspberry, Strawberry, Wild Cherry, Berry Punch & Melon Berry.

Taste-wise they were all fantastic, extremely fruity and chewy and with a perfect mixture of berry flavours. I loved the cherry and melon (is melon even a berry?!) flavours the most but all of them made for a lovely mix. Overall, a great product that I hope will stick around this time!

RATING: 8 out of 10.

Price: 49p at Asda.
Suitable for vegetarians?: Yes.
Allergy Information: Soybean oil, e-numbers.
Nutrition (per 55g): 222 Calories, 2.3g Fat, 49.6g Sugar.

    These sound nice - recommend Galaxy Cookie Crumble bar on offer @ Boots right now, & Candy King Pink & White mice (strawberry & cream flavour) found @ Poundland. From a fellow snack fan!

    Officially unrecommending abovementioned mice, as were off.. Poundland not good for sweet treats, I've found.

    These are NOT suitable for vegetarians. Some of the Skittles are coated in e120, which is a glazing agent that contains the remnants of beetles

    They are now vegetarian; it is stated on the pack. No more E120.

Pringles Salted Egg Review

Another weird snack and this time it’s Salted Egg Flavour Pringles! These are apparently popular in other parts of the word so maybe not as weird as they may seem to us Brits... and they’re actually not so bad! Not as eggy as I expected - I had visions of an awful gaseous pong coming from the tub, haha! - but just a slight salty egg flavour.   If you’re curious, find them from www.gbgifts.co.uk (gifted).

Asda Tinned Banana Blossom Review

-

Recently, I spotted a totally new vegetable/fruit (not sure which it actually is!) in Asda called Banana Blossom in a tin. It was next to the tins of Jackfruit which is a well known vegan meat alternative. I assumed it was a similar thing so happily bought some to try - it’s £1.50 a tin. The image on the wrapper looked innocent enough - battered fish pieces, only vegan! Surely this stuff must be good? Turns out that packaging was very misleading because nothing could prepare me for the horror that was lurking inside...when I opened the tin it was like opening something from a horror film, discovering the mouldy body of an ancient alien creature or other such evil. It looked hideous!! “Surely this is not meant for human consumption?!”, I thought. Heck it’s not even suitable for bird consumption....I think flies would even turn their nose up at this thing, which looked like rotten infested seaweed. When I posted this on my  Instagram  page the responses were predictably

Lidl Way To Go Fin Carre Ethical Chocolate

I recently spotted some new funky looking bars in Lidl, and instantly they reminded me of Tony’s Chocolonely bars, the ethical brand that launched last year donating money to helping end slavery in cocoa production. I’ve always loved the Tony’s brand and I think in 2020, more than ever, we need more ethically produced products - it should be expected, let’s be honest! So it’s always nice to see another brand like this even if it’s essentially copying Tony’s. I got the dark chocolate version to try as I was curious how it would be compared to other dark chocolates. In hindsight this was a mistake, as the actual chocolate is nothing extraordinary. It’s nice enough and good quality don’t get me wrong but it has no particular distinct flavour to make me buy it again. I’ll certainly try the other two flavours which are Milk Chocolate and Almond and Sea Salt, and I do like the chunky haphazard block design that mimics Tony’s Chocolonely. It’s a shame through that Lidl don’t just stock
