Barratt Refreshers Marshmallow Rolls Review

-

I was really intrigued to find these Refreshers Mallow Rolls in B&M recently. I used to love Refreshers sweets as a kid, but the idea of them as marshmallows sounded interesting if a bit odd!


They come in orange and lemon flavours, and the mallows were very large and squidgy. They had a familiar Refreshers citrusy flavour which was quite odd - I'm not really sure it worked as a marshmallow flavour to be honest! They were also ridiculously sweet.


Overall, these Refreshers Mallow Rolls are an interesting idea but they didn't really work in practice. Kids might like them, but there are far better sweets out there to choose from. I've only seen these in a handful of discount stores so far, so I'm not sure if they are being launched officially or not.

Were you a fan of Refreshers sweets as a kid? Let me know in the comments :) 

Price: Around 99p at B&M Bargains.
Suitable for vegetarians?: No - contains gelatine.

RATING: 4 out of 10.

    Errrr I loved them (but I like anything overtly sweet) - Ironically though I didn't remember the refreshers thing till a week or so later when I was at a shop and saw the actual refreshers and was like 'ohhhhh'.

    I recently tried these and WOW I loved Refreshers, and these were just an amazing find for me. Craving them more just looking at the pictures.

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
