Haribo USA Gummi Berries and Frogs Review

-

As I wrote about in my review of A Taste Of The States, they’ve been sending me a selection of snacks each month, which I get to choose with a budget based on referrals. A big thankyou to everyone who used my code KEV20! You can still use it for 20% off all orders from
https://atasteofthestates.com/.

Some snacks from my most recent order were these Haribo Berries and Frogs which are made by the US arm of Haribo. I really enjoyed their Fruit Salad sweets so was excited to try more varieties.


These are blackberry and raspberry flavoured and have bobbly sugar pieces over a jelly centre.


They’re super duper sweet, but pretty tasty and unique. I loved the contrast between the crunchy outer layer and the gummy inner layer. I couldn’t  eat too many due to the sweetness but they’re certainly a lot of fun!


The Frogs consist of a white foam layer on the bottom and green apple flavoured gummy on top. I ordered these as they reminded me of the frog sweets I used to get in tuck shop bags as a kid!


They’re quite chewy and have a nice apple flavour. Perhaps a little boring though - would be nice to have more of a mix of flavours although I guess that might go against the “green” theme.

Overall then, the Berries get a thumbs up from me and the Frogs are just ok. I’m really enjoying trying all these various US Haribo varieties...they’ve all been a lot more interesting than UK versions.

If any of these take your fancy, you can order them from  https://atasteofthestates.com/ using code KEV20 for 20% off. They’ve had some great stock in recently, such as the new Hazelnut aka Nutella M&M’s!

    omg omg omg! Those berries were my absolute FAVOURITE as a child! I haven't seen them in 20 years and had no idea they were Haribo (I used to buy them as loose penny sweets!). Oh wow

      I think I remember them too! Wish they'd bring them out properly in the UK!

    Hi, thank you I've been searching for this many years. Glad to meet someone from the younger days. Do you remember the name of the gummies that we loved, they were kind of minty right? And there were penguins.

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

-
Image
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
