Nanobytes: Cola, Bubblegum & Strawberry space-themed sweets Review!

-

Some time ago, in a galaxy far far away... I was kindly sent some Nanobytes to review! Nanobytes are new space-themed chewy sweets from a company called Lots of Little Sweets. They come in both large 65g pouches or smaller 25g pocket sized bags, in cola, bubblegum and strawberry flavours. They are gluten-free, suitable for vegetarians and GMO free. I was sent the 65g bags, and below are my thoughts on each flavour:
Cola Nanobytes
Cola: These were very tasty indeed, they had a slightly tangy cola flavour that reminded me of classic fizzy cola bottles. They were very moreish and I couldn't stop shovelling them in my mouth! I loved the chewiness of the nuggets, and there was something about their small size that made them all the more addictive.

Bubblegum Nanobytes
Bubblegum: These surprised me in being my favourite of the three. The bubblegum flavour was very tasty and had an almost herbal, fruit-like taste that was very natural. I was surprised because usually bubblegum is quite an artificial tasting flavour. I loved them, and couldn't stop piling them in my mouth non-stop whilst watching a film recently!

Strawberry Nanobytes
Strawberry: These were my least favourite of the three as I found them rather sweet, although they were still very moreish and it didn't stop me eating far too many! My friend liked them more than me and said they were his favourite flavour of the three.

 Overall, I have to give Nanobytes a big thumbs up because they tick all the right boxes for sweets like this. They're tasty, moreish, come in handy resealable packs, and make perfect snacks for watching a film with! They also have a fun theme which kids will love, infact there's a story about how they came to be called Nanobytes:

 Some time ago, far far away in space… The sky was filled with edible planets drifting dangerously close to the stars. Planet Nano was made up of 3 earth-shattering flavours: Strawberry, Bubblegum & Cola. When Planet Nano collided with a star it exploded; Filling the sky with lots and lots of little sweets. Project-Nano Astronauts were sent out to collect these rare and delicious chewy sweets, and now they’ve brought them back home to Earth, for you to enjoy the delicious flavours too.

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 pr...

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...
