your palate must be different than the average American. :o I guess that makes sense. Most of that stuff is delicacies for us. I mean... twinkies are like an American icon. they'll stay good in your bomb shelter for 50 years too!


But he's right, though. They are low-grade crappy pastries that are way too saturated with artificial crap and preservatives. The fact that, as you say, they'll stay good in your bomb shelter for 50 years is not something to be considered a "pro" in any way. >_>


they're so good tho... that crème filling. :u

Great topic.

Hostess is complete garbage now. You might have enjoyed their products a bit more several years ago.

The only thing that you have there that I like are the S'mores Pop-Tarts. That's not to say that they're actually "good"....maybe it's because I've been eating them since I was much younger. Be sure to heat them up and eat with a glass of cold milk.

If you liked Sour Patch Kids then I'm curious to what you'd think of Sour Straws. They are one of the few sour candies that I'll eat.

That would be a good one to try out. The peanut butter in Reese's Cups are usually insanely dry and just straight up nasty. It's hard to even consider it peanut butter at all.

We have Kit Kats in Sweden they are great. But there could be different if it's made in America.

No, but I've had them before and they are one of the worst things I've eaten.

Also lol Twinkies

http://www.foodmatters.com/article/whats-really-in-a-twinkie

Cheetos Crunchy Jalapeno

These are much better, has more cheese flavor and nice jalapeno flavor that gives heat, there is also a jalapeno smell in the bag. This one I could eat a lot of.

Yeah, these are my experiences of America confectionary too really. All their "top" stuff seems to just be really horrible/artificial junk.

This isn't "top" stuff. It's not considered a delicacy. It's garbage that you buy in a gas station.

Well, not fancy stuff, no. But it seems to be the confectionary I always hear people on the internet raving about >.>

I don't know about that. The most I hear Cheetos get mentioned, for instance, is with the stereotype about the basement-dwelling nerd who lives on Cheetos and Mountain Dew. Everyone in America knows about these things because they're sold everywhere, but everyone also recognizes them as cheap artificial junk food. And even Cheetos have a better reputation than Twizzlers.

I get why someone from another country would try them as an experiment like the TC, but they're nothing to rave about. Pop Tarts taste like cardboard.

Well they aren't disgusting or anything just dissappointing on the flavor side but...

Mike and Ikes Berry Blast

This is much better, the flavors seem a bit less artificial and they are good flavors, and they stay longer too than the original ones. This is a good tasting candy and I'd eat it plenty.

They often seem to be stuff I've had recommended to me as American stuff to try.

You may be right, and I've just been around americans so much on the internet talking about their stuff rather than actually thinking they are good.

TC's doing good on ratings so far....

smore's is the best poptart. 2nd favorite is raspberry if we're counting fruit flavors.
strawberry is the worst of all.

and to add i don't like the original mike and ike's either ;(.

Twizzlers Strawberry
Oh my god, I opened it and took a deep breath smell and I started coughing, it hurt my throat, so much chemical smell in the bag, was there gas containing it? Since the twizzler itself has barely any smell. It feels and looks like plastic, not like our versions of this candy. Then I taste it. What the hell, where are the flavors I smelled in the bag? Texture is odd, chewy almost fatty, chewy that doesn't melt into each-other so when chewing I have lots of small pieces in my mouth. I don't taste the strawberry in it, quite bland flavor. As I'm eating I cough when that gas-like thing whatever gets in my throat, weird. There is tiny hint of salt in the initial bite, which I do like. Just feels weird when there was so much smell but almost no flavor. I do like the strange texture too, instead of having a mass of chewy candy in my mouth I have lots of tiny pieces to swallow down, it's interesting.
Overall, not that enjoyable, weird fatty aftertaste to it as well.
3/10


Most Americans don't like Twizzlers either.

the Cherry ones are good, the regular ones ain't bad but not particularly good.
I find as I get older I like most candy less and less sugar has become semi icky to me.

I would try to recommend some (hopefully) good stuff, not the garbage. At least not without saying upfront it was rubbish junk stuff. But fair enough.

Yeah, this definitely makes me think you just had really shitty luck and got a bad bag of the original flavors, honestly. M&I are delicious, and that chemical smell is something I've never experienced personally. Damn that's a shame, too. :-(

Chocolate Pop Rocks
The bag smells of milk chocolate. I see the rocks are covered in chocolate. The flavor is actually good, prob the best tasting chocolate from America I've had. But on the package it says it's made in Spain, so maybe that's the reason. Has real sugar in it. Very tasty indeed of milk chocolate. The pops aren't as big as the other pop rocks, these remind me of the ones we had in Sweden popfactor wise. Overall very good candy and I like it a lot. Plus factor, since they are chocolate covered they aren't sticking to the inside of the bag cuz of humidity.

Sour Patch Kids Extreme Sour
Has the same flavor as the original, but lasts longer, same good texture. But the sourness is perfect the way I like it. This candy is something I'd buy regularly it's not so obvious artificial flavors and stuff. The sourness is perfect.

Capn Crunch
Had it with milk of course. Yeah cruchy they are...but honestly what the hell. It tastes like eating cubes of extra sweet sugar. Not even the sweet cereal we have here is this sweet. I feel sick of one bite.
1/10

Capn Crunch Berries
Why can't they just add dried berries in it? How are these balls with artificial colors and some lame flavor berries? This is the same shit, but worse.
0/10

Cinnamon Toast Crunch
This feels like it's the "healthier" option, it's not as sweet as the others, but still enough sweet. For me it would be the "candy cereal". I'm used to cereal that isn't sweet at all, or barely sweet here in Sweden. This isn't bad tho, I would eat it if I had it, I'm not a super fan of cinnamon and I think they had it perfectly enough.
