Whats your favourite Flavour?

Advantages: A huge variery of flavours to suit every taste
Disadvantages: None

I first tried Jelly Belly Beans when I was attracted to the colourful display within a Selfridges, since then they are one of my favourite indulgancies. You can either buy them in a pick and mix style from department stores (watch out this can get costly) in small bags usually for different taste types (such as sours or sports) or if you're lucky enough like me a giant tray with 50 flavours all sepearted into different comparents with a guide on ...
...sets jelly bellys apart from other jelly beans is the huge variety of flavours, the intense taste and the general texture. The website states there are only 4 calories per bean and zero fat, they dont contain gelatine and are certified kosher and vegetarian. If you want to try before you buy, go and visit the website and they send out sample packs (they are tiny bags though with only about 5 in each ) My faveourite flavours include candy floss, berry ...

Review of Jelly-Belly Jelly Beans

Mint with the Hole Much?

Advantages: Refreshingly Minty
Disadvantages: Bad for your teeth

...Polos in 1955). - Polo Gummies - Polo Holes (The holes from the Polos) - Smoothies - Extra Strong Polos come in a long tube wrapped in that annoying plastic foil and are then covered by a tube of paper which is green and blue in colour with the word 'Polo' wriiten on it using pictures of Polos in place of the 'o.' You get about 25 mints in a pack and as you tend to suck them this means that they last a long time! The Polos themselves are bright white ...
...is only an uber tiny Polo left. You can buy the single packs from most newsagents for 29p for a 30g pack. You can however also buy multipacks form most supermarkets for £1.42 for a 6 pack which works out better value. There are only 120 calories in a pack but there is a lot of sugar so you should watch out for your teeth. ...

Review of Polo Mints

I would never touch them again.

Advantages: Some of them might taste okay
Disadvantages: Shells taste like hairspray, packaging's no fun, colours are duller

When I was little, I used to absolutely adore Smarties. They were colourful and the sugar shells and chocolate tasted absolutely wonderful. I used to have a lot of fun dividing them into groups of colours and then eating them colour by colour. I then used to have hours of fun with the tube (taking the top on and off, popping out the bottom of the tube and looking through the tube, putting a little paper ball inside the tube and blowing it out to ...
...Smartie when my friend offered me one. Having not had a Smartie in a few years, I decided to have a try. I put the Smartie in my mouth and I was absolutely disgusted by the way the sugar shell tasted. The only thing I can compare it to was when you get perfume or hairspray in your mouth accidentally - it was horribly bitter. I couldn't bear to keep it in my mouth. A few weeks after that event, I decided to buy a tube of Smarties for myself to see ...

Review of Nestle Smarties Hexatube

malters- mmmmm

Advantages: great tasting chocolate and sweet
Disadvantages: none

when i have maltesers i like to open the packet and pop one in my mouth and wait as the chocolate melts, slowly. They are round and covered in a chocolate coating. The best part is the crunchy bit that is surrounded by the chocolate, this slowly melts away. Sometimes I will put four or five in my mouth, at once. In my opinion, maltesers are probably my favorite sweet product, you can eat them anywhere, really , as the packaging is small and convenient. ...

Review of Mars Maltesers

Tastiest sweets ever?

Advantages: Best sweets ever
Disadvantages: Not kind to your teeth

Haribo has to be by far my favourite food product ever! I am completely addicted and actually fantasise about it when I haven't had any for a week, sad I know! I think this addiction started when I was introduced to it from a very young age as I used to live in Germany the home of the Haribo, and the love of it has stayed with me since. Haribo has been around a long time. Since 1920 in fact, when it was created by Hans Riegel Sr in Bonn. The name ...
...exhibition about the history of Haribo in 2006, in Germany! I suppose I would call Starmix the 'classic' Haribo mix and it's probably the most well known and popular. It stands out from the shelf with it's bright blue packaging and features an eye catching picture of a child taking of in a red and yellow rocket amongst stars and planets. 'Haribo Starmix' is in bold and it also features the tagline 'Kids & Grownups love it so, the happy world of Haribo' ...
