Werther's Originals Butter Mints

img:

Jo asked me to get some sweets that she could suck on the way home from work yesterday. As I got a lift back, I snuck round to the corner shop and grabbed a bag of these. The price sticker was positioned so that it covered the word 'mints' on the front; I thought they would be 'minis' (because honestly, who can handle a full-sized Werther's Original? That's crazy talk).

I'm going to enter that for the World's Most Riveting Anecdote Contest at the end of the year. Winky Face

Pros:

  • Mint makes everything (that isn't orange-y) taste better
  • They are actually smaller than an original Werther's Original

Cons:

  • Butter candy still doesn't seem right to me
  • The mint taste isn't as strong as I'd like... but I like my mint well strong, me

I like Werther's Originals, but I can never have more than one or two at a time - they take a lot of work to get through.

Peanut Butter Flavour Oreo Cookies

img:

A confession, which the police have been after for some time: I don't get the Oreo cookies thing. They're nice enough but a good custard cream or, particularly, bourbon cream will beat them senseless. So it was with a sense of trepidation that I snaffled one from our box of Peanut Butter Flavour Oreo Cookies... purely for this review, you understand. Purely.

Pros:

  • Markedly different from the original, which is not always the case
  • They're limited edition, which automatically makes them special

Cons:

  • It's just a pity that I can't stand anything peanut butter flavoured
  • It did nothing to sell the Oreo to me as a concept

If you do like peanut butter these are worth around 70%. The taste still isn't quite right but they've got enough about them.

I loved the peanut butter oreos. So much so that when they first launched at half price, I about around 10 packs to stock up my cupboard. They didn't last long.

Tesco Cinnamon Swirl
Snacks! Reviews/'reviews' welcome - Page 24 IDShot_540x540

One of my favourite treats, but not something I can have just any time. I have to be in the right mood. Today, I spotted my colleague reducing them and thought; y'know what, yeah. I'll tuck in.

Pros
Tasty.
Decent pastry; you'd assume shoddy stuff but nah, its good!
Generous splash of Cinnamon stuff.

Cons
Falls apart as you try and eat it so you end up getting sticky fingers as you tackle the saucy central section.
One is never enough, two is too much.
In the end, you're gonna die and everyone who ever knew you existed is gonna die and it'll be like you never existed at all. The crushing weight of this knowledge, the ever-present toll of sentience, can only be briefly circumvented by the delicious cinnamon swirl.

9/10

Can't beat a supermarket cinnamon Swirl although Morissons have the better ones which is a rarity I must say.

Kinnerton Frozen Advent Calender: 1st Window.

Snacks! Reviews/'reviews' welcome - Page 24 IDShot_540x540

Pros:



"It's CHRIIIIIIIIIIISTMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!"

Cons:

Chocolate could be fairly described as 'bleugh'.
No idea what the shape was supposed to be
Another year in which I've forgotten to do the Scottish advent calender

75%

Christmas is quality, this chocolate is not.

That's the same advent calendar I've got! At least it guarantees larger chocolates at the end so I know it won't betray me like spider-man did last year

Six Mince Pies (in Two Minutes)
Snacks! Reviews/'reviews' welcome - Page 24 12345623_1690461621191431_2519553332783151276_n

Mince pie eating competition at work today! Crap organisation meant there were only three people in it. It was meant to be yesterday, nobody was up for it so they moved it to today, then the managers forgot until I mentioned I hadn't eaten all day in preparation. Still, I got a face full of pie, everyone got a chuckle, all's well that ends well.

Pros
  • Mince pies are quite nice
  • The only manager who entered, Vikki, barely finished three pies
  • It was only two minutes, not ten like the last pie-eating contest I did, so I didn't eat enough to make myself feel sick or to put me off mince pies


Cons

  • I didn't win. Me and Kev both ate the same number, but he'd swallowed when the time ran out whereas I still had pie in my mouth
  • I underestimated how dry they would make my mouth, and therefore how slow I would be to eat them
  • I'm pretty sure I could have won if the faces he was pulling, and the way he shook his head to "liquedise the pie" hadn't kept making me giggle and nearly choke.


10/10
Would enter a mince pie eating competition again

Plopp

img:

In Zero Castle we're big fans of Scandinavia. That extends to watching lots of the Nordic Noir programmes, like The Killing (which is fantastic) and The Bridge (which is immense). We'd like to go there and we would, too, if we weren't saving for a wedding. So Jo's got into the food of the region and picked out a chocolate bar called Plopp. The potential for gentle British humour with a name like that is near-infinite.

Pros:

  • Hilarious name
  • Actually really tasty

Cons:

  • The ones we get are a bit small
  • Need to go to a specialist to find 'em (although ScandiKitchen is not too out of the way... if you're in London)

I found an old notebook of mine dated 2004 when I was clearing out some drawers earlier on. Inside was young Jay's attempts at snack reviewing.

Snacks! Reviews/'reviews' welcome - Page 24 VeMFVw2

Motion: all reviews must carry an "mmmm rating" from now on.

It could very well have been! I didn't buy those mags though, so no relation between young Jay's mmm rating and NGC's.
