Apple Jellow Drink

Review nr. 34!! Hey everybody, I am back and with another drink! (sorry guys, I got a lot of drinks to review at the same time :s) Anyways, this isn't you average, run of the mill, juice. Nah Ha, this is apple jellow juice! Apple juice withe jellow!
If you've been following the blog for a while you know I love jellow like things, so I just had to pic this up. Let's give it a taste!

Packaging: These come in a red plastic, Caprisone like, bag, with a white plastic cap and top, drawings of apples and jellow and the Cici logo.

The drink: im not sure you can see it in the picture but this apple juice comes with clear jellow cubes inside! Texture wise, this is incredible! I believe every single kid would love this (like I do, because I'm like 5 on the inside...) Sooooo fun to drink!

The Flavour: surprisingly, the amazing jellow bits actually taste like the juice, which is great. Jellow aside, this has actually pretty good juice, nice strong, apple flavour. I love every lovelly strange thing about it!

Sunkist Mango

 Review nr. 33!! Hey guys, today I have a drink I'm not even sure is foreign, but I've never seen it before. It also says it's the "taste of California" so I'm assuming it's american. It's called Sunkist and I got it in the mango flavour!

Packaging: Sunkist Mango comes in a orangy/yellowish can with a flowery green pattern on top. Front and center is the Sunkist logo, outlined in swirly blue, wave-like, lines. The top and bottom of the can are plain silver, as usual.

The Drink: the liquid is fizzy and really bright, neon like, orange. I don't know if it looks cool or radioactivily dangerous....

The Flavour: First of all, this is extra fizzy, the first thing you'll taste is the gas. After that the mango will star to show but just for a brief moment, then you are left with a sour aftertaste, like medicine. Like those effervescent orange things for you stomach. Not that pleasent...

Overall, the mango taste is pretty good, but the aftertaste is awfull. If you don't mind that, it's nice.

Hawthorn Sweets

 Review nr. 32!! Guys, today I'm talking about something that I knew very little about and had to do a little google research before reviewing it.
So, these sweets are called hawthorn pieces. The hawthorn is a common plant in asia and europe which produces red "berry" like fruits called haws (I've seen these plants around, but I always thought the berries were poisonous...). These sweets are made out of dried jam made with the haws. They suposedly have medicinal porpuses (good for people with hearth problems) and are categorized as "health food". Anyways, let's review it!

Packaging: These come in a clear plastic box with about 4 clear plastic bags. Great to bring in your bag as a quick snack and great portion control.

The Sweets: The sweets are thin, reddish brown, coin like circles of leathery, dried fruit, with some sugar cristals. They smell kind of coppery.

The Flavour: At first, I'm not gonna lie, these taste like rust, a lot. It's disgusting. But then the fruit flavour comes out and it's a mix between marmalade and raisens. Not my favourite thing ever...but not that bad (my parents love these though)

Rating: 6 out of 10
Overall, not my thing, I think it's more of an old people's healthy type snack. If you have a heart problem though, maybe give them a try.

Blueberry Cheesecake Pretz

 Review nr. 31!! Hey guys, so a couple of days ago I made a tiramisu pretz review but I also got blueberry cheesecake flavoured ones to compare them with. So that's what we'll be doing today! On with the review!

Packaging: these come in a purple cardboard box with the Pretz Double logo, the Glico logo, a picture of the pretz sticks and of a cheesecake. Inside there is a silver plastic bags containing the sticks.

The sticks: the sticks are regular pocky like bisquit but dusted with purple flavouring powder on one side. They smell a lot like berries.

The flavour: To me, these are actually nicer than the tiramisu ones, but I love berry flavours, so I'm biased. They're nice and crunchy and have a distinct mixed berry flavour that mixes well with the cookie flavour. Nice berry tasting snack.


Rating:7,2 out of 10
Overall, better than the tiramisu ones, in my opinion. Nice cookie like snack to bring to work or school.

Asian Ice-Pops

 Review nr. 30!! Oh my God guys I can't believe I've been doing this for a entire month :o I'm really proud of myself for commiting to this, not gonna lie :3 Hope there will be many more monthly celebration in the future!
To celebrate this I bring you something from my preteen days! So, when I was in like the 7th or 8th grade (I was about 12/13 years old) I used to go with my friends to a cafe close to school during the lunch brake and get a special kind of ice-pops: these asian ice-pops!
(back then I didn't know they where asian of course, just that they were different and I liked them)

Packaging: These come in a plastic bag (back at the cafe they didn't) and they come in different flavours (at the store they had strawberry, which I chose, lemon, and pinnaple). The cool thing about these ice-pops is that they come in a wierd plastic container which looks like two test tubes stuck together.

How to eat: to eat them, you freeze them and then, when they are completely frozen, you separate the two tubes by cracking the container in half (which is actually easier than it looks) then you suck the ice-pops trough the plastic, one tube at a time.

The flavour: these bring so many good memories *.* but even if you're not nostalgic they are good! Normally I don't even like ice-pops because you end up sucking all the juice quickly and getting a bunch of tastless ice left. These are different because the ice doesn't freeze solic, it freezes into little pieces, like a slushy, so the taste lasts untill the end of the ice-pop! Plus they have a nice strawberry flavour, great for these hot summer days!

Overall, great summer treat, refreshing, fun and tasty! Give them a try!

Yet Another Marzipan Chocolate

Review nr. 29!! Hey guys, I know I've reviewed mazipan chocolate before but I swear this one is different! (plus I really like marzipan chocolate... .-.) To start, this brand is cheaper and more common here in Portugal. The marzipan in these is not the usual soft almond paste, but an almond cream which contains alcohol. And finally, this is not a chocolate bar, but little chocolate cubes. (cute and helps with portion control)

Packaging: the chocolate comes in a red cardboard box with the Schogetten logo, pictures of the cubes and of some marzipan. Inside there is silver foil sorounding the cubes.

The cubes: the cubes are made of thick dark chocolate with white/beige almond cream inside. The top of the cube as a cute star/sun design.

The Flavour: I actually preffer the chocolate in these to the fancy one. It's thicker and richer, more noticeable. The cream is really nice, doesn't have as great of a texture as the other one but still good. I really like these, I really do.

Rating: 8,3 out of 10
Overall, really good chocolate. I gave them a slightly higher rating than the other one for the chocolate quality alone. If you like marzipan, pick these up because they're yummy and easier to find.

Cream Soda

 Review nr. 28!! Hey guys remember my first review in this blog? The vanilla cola? Well today I brought something similar to see if it tasted the same: cream soda. This particular cream soda is made with "aged vanilla", both real and artificial, acording to the label.
The cola also had vanilla, but it was just a hint over the traditional Coca-Cola taste. This drink has no cola so it should be different, right? Let us see!

Packaging: The soda comes in a silver and cream/coperish-gold can with the brand "A&W" logo and the flavour in brown letters. It also says the vanilla thing I mentioned before.

The soda: The soda is a golden color and carbonated, it creats a nice foam when you pour it into a glass. From the picture it kind of looks like beer, I asure you it isn't, it's not even alcoholic.

The Flavour: As soon as I tasted this the word that came to mind wasn't "vanilla", it was "caramel" . But not like the caramely flavour of cola, it's not like cola at all, let's get that clear. It's actually a mix of traditional sweet caramel and vanilla. Like vanilla fudge. Really sweet but enjoyable.

Rating: 7 out of 10
Overall, pretty good but just a little bit too sweet for me, I wouldn't be able to drink a whole can. But if you enjoy sweets a lot, go for it!
