Passion Fruit Juice

Review nr. 35!! 2º review of the day, guys!  Back with the drinks, since I have a lot of them. If you've seen some of my other reviews, you know that I like passion fruit flavoured stuff, so when I saw they had a passion fruit drink, I had to give it a shot (by the way, I've tried other drinks with passion fruit, like orange and passion fruit juice, and they tasted great, but I've never had an all passion fruit drink).

Packaging: This comes in a white can, with a description of the product, the Foco logo and a picture of a passion fruit. The top and bottom of the can are a traditional silver color.

The Drink: the drink is non carbonated. It has a orange/yellow color. It smells really sweet.

The Flavour: This was such a big disapointment! It does not taste like passion fruit at all! It's suuuuuuper sweet, like overwelmingly sweet. It tastes like a non specific fruity flavour. Like tutti-frutti gone wrong.

Overall, I hated it, too sweet, not passion fruit flavoured. Big disapointment.

Twinkie

Review nr. 34!! Hey guys, first of all, I'm sorry I didn't do a review yesterday, I'm on vacation and I don't always have the time to write x.x. To make it yup, I'll write two reviews today! To start things off, I bring you the all famous, all american, Hostess Twinkie! (for those of you who've seen Zombieland, didn't it made you crave a twinkie just from seeing how desperate Tallahassee was to eat one?) Anyway, lets review!

Packaging: These come in a traditional Hosstess cardboard box, but in the store I got my twinkie at, they are sol individually in theire clear plastic bags.

 The twinkie: The twinkie is shapped like cilinder with a flat bottom. It's made out of yellow/golden sponge and has white cream on the inside.

The Flavour: The sponge is nice and fluffy, it tastes like regular yellow cake sponge. The cream is rich and has a distinct vanilla flavour. It tastes like a frosted vanilla cupcake, nothing special but not bad. Tv made have high expectations guys, this did not live up to them, though. If the cream had a stronger flavour (online they talk about the original banana cream filling, that sounds sooooo good!) I would like it more.

 Rating: 7 out of 10
Overall, not bad, I expected better, though. For the novelty, it's worth a try.

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!

Overall, so much fun to drink, whether you are a kid or not! Give it a shot! (just rhymed, I feel like a rapper now XDD not)

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!

Rating: 8,5 out of 10
Overall, great summer treat, refreshing, fun and tasty! Give them a try!
