Yes and we are also getting them confused with these Frito-Lay products:

Well, that's just going to make things even more confusing...

Roos Traditional Black

I'm still not really into black licorice but I like it more than I used to. This one tasted good in strawberry, though was kind of sticky and sweaty in texture.

This is good quality licorice. I still don't care for black licorice but I can tell this is decent stuff.

Russell Stover Assorted Fruit Hard Candy - No sugar added

Another 80s-90s waiting room treat.

Just tastes like a classic fruit flavoured hard candy

Taiyaki - Strawberry

I checked the receipt but it still didn't tell me the brand name.

Like the last one with strawberry. Not bad. It basically is a big strawberry wafer.

Covered Bridge Sweet Heat

Not quite sure what makes it "East Coast Lifestyle". I guess sweet chili sauce is pretty popular but even with our increasingly diverse population, it seems less East Coast specific compared to samosas (which got really popular in New Brunswick in the 90s) and Donair (which they do have a flavour for).

Decent stuff but not that interesting to me, despite my like of sweet chili sauce. Covered Bridge still brings quality but it isn't that exciting.

Swirly Fish

"You are under my command. Look deep into my flounder."

Good but I like gummies less with a creme flavour

Dreidel Candy

This might be the the weirdest flavour. I mean, salted caramel chocolate is not THAT weird a flavour but it is for the kind of hard candy this is. The kind where it is like compressed sugar like the inside of Runts

Oh, this was actual... weird little choco nuggets. Not bad, actually, but probably not with the cost unless you really want a dreidel tin (though that goes for all of these tinned candies)

Reese's Thins

Not after I'm done... or before, really.

Oh, these don't have the wrappers on the bottom. And hey aren't messy or anything. They have less PB but it's still a good ratio, though I'm someone, despite being a PB fan, is of a "less is more" opinion.

Spongebob Squarepants Candy Spray

WHY COLA FLAVOUR?! PINEAPPLE IS STILL JUST... RIGHT THERE!

Yeah, it's not that interesting. I don't think cola flavour tastes that great uncarbonated.

Reign Rainbow Sherbet

This had a surprisingly strong sherbet flavour and in that respect was quite good. One of the better energy drinks I've had.

 

[Daikaiju]

Yeah, it's not that interesting. I don't think cola flavour tastes that great uncarbonated.

What about the Toy prize?

 

[Johnny Unusual]

Oh, it's a jibbetz.

 

[LBD_Nytetrayn]

Oh, these don't have the wrappers on the bottom. And hey aren't messy or anything. They have less PB but it's still a good ratio, though I'm someone, despite being a PB fan, is of a "less is more" opinion.

I'm the opposite. I'm a chocoholic, but when it comes to Reese's, I prefer more peanut butter and just a thin coating of chocolate.

It's why I try to stick up on Reese's eggs and pumpkins until the next holiday, and lament that they're so hard to find (and kinda pricier now).

But they just get it so perfectly to me.

Just another manic Monday...

Gummy Cola (Small)

My favourite gummi... if they are the same kind. They look different. The words "cola" can be read on their shape.

Doritos Mini - Nacho Cheese

Finally, the great taste of Doritos in a tennis ball can. I'm not sure why they are trying to Pringles-ify Doritos, especially since I've had these and they are just smaller shape Doritos, with no real reason for the can.

Rainbow Roller

Love this already. Look, even if it doesn't taste amazing, I always love the idea of making candy, a kid's thing, fun and for kids. I love the innovation of making it fun play.

Zoa - Frosted Grape

I'm assuming this is a kind of grape and not a grape covered in cake icing.

Hershey's Caramel Zero Sugar

I believe these ones were perfectly OK without caramel.

Dairy Milk Oreo

Dairy Milks are good and I do like the cookies n cream flavour.

Airheads - White Mystery

I don't like that name.

Sour Patch Kids Berries

I do like them Sour Patch Kids

 

[Johnny Unusual]

Gummy Cola (Small)

My favourite gummi... if they are the same kind. They look different. The words "cola" can be read on their shape.

So this version was fine but it wasn't quite the right flavour. Close though. Also very slightly too firm. Just a tad.

Doritos Mini - Nacho Cheese

Finally, the great taste of Doritos in a tennis ball can. I'm not sure why they are trying to Pringles-ify Doritos, especially since I've had these and they are just smaller shape Doritos, with no real reason for the can.

It's, like, Doritos but small. It still works.

Rainbow Roller

Love this already. Look, even if it doesn't taste amazing, I always love the idea of making candy, a kid's thing, fun and for kids. I love the innovation of making it fun play.

This one was interesting but it didn't work. The flavours were fine but the problem is the gel candy doesn't spread very well on the roller and sticks too firmly to the plastic. A nice attempt but they need to tinker with the gel

Zoa - Frosted Grape

I'm assuming this is a kind of grape and not a grape covered in cake icing.

This was fine. Not the best ZOA but ZOA is the one energy drink for me (not that I will make a habit out of it.)

Hershey's Caramel Zero Sugar

I believe these ones were perfectly OK without caramel.

These were OK. Obviously not real chocolate in flavour (or if their is the artificial sweetener affects the taste) but I liked it more than a lot of the fake chocolates.

Dairy Milk Oreo

Dairy Milks are good and I do like the cookies n cream flavour.

This is pretty great. I like a Dairy Milk and the cream inside is good.

Airheads - White Mystery

I don't like that name.

It's fine. It just tastes like they used the taffy that didn't make it into other candies and mooshed together.

Sour Patch Kids Berries

I do like them Sour Patch Kids

This is a good SPK

I also forgot to mention I had "Lovehearts Lipstick"

i thought it was a sucker but it was... a really long fruit Certs. And not that interesting outside of that. Also it didn't stay in the container and just fell out.

Tuesday!

Mars Cookie Dough

It's been a while since I've had a Mars Bar. I do like cookie dough but it's also easy to get wrong and feel "off".

Alien Head Sours

It's the spooky season and it's time for spookier snacking. Aliens aren't purely horror but there's a creepy element to the abducting kind...

Barbie Candy Bracelet Kit

Again, I respect when candy has "playability".

Werther's Originals Chewy Caramel (No sugar added)

Chewy caramels isn't specific to Halloween but I do associate them with the season (and the kind of candy I was less interested in seeing in my bag).

Monster Energy Ultra Violet

Yup, I'm purely going through Monsters because monsters are a Halloween thing. But surprisingly, I only found one? I think they usually carry more.

Kitchen Sink Mix

It's just a bunch of gummies from different companies in the same bag. Not a complaint.

Popcorn - Blueberry Glazed

Oh, gourmet sugary popcorn? Yes please.

Sour Razzleberry Cotton Candy

Razzleberry is a stupid name and I kind of admire it.

Mars Cookie Dough

It's been a while since I've had a Mars Bar. I do like cookie dough but it's also easy to get wrong and feel "off".

A decent Mars Bar variant but I think I'd need to eat a regular one to compare the difference.

Alien Head Sours

It's the spooky season and it's time for spookier snacking. Aliens aren't purely horror but there's a creepy element to the abducting kind...

Fine. Not a strong favour.

Barbie Candy Bracelet Kit

Again, I respect when candy has "playability".

Ugh, these are the candies that don't crunch so much as... compress. It's hard to articulate but they don't feel like they break a proper way and condense under the weight of my bite pressure and it's not a great feel.

Werther's Originals Chewy Caramel (No sugar added)

Chewy caramels isn't specific to Halloween but I do associate them with the season (and the kind of candy I was less interested in seeing in my bag).

A perfectly fine caramel but more expensive for fewer caramels.

Monster Energy Ultra Violet

Yup, I'm purely going through Monsters because monsters are a Halloween thing. But surprisingly, I only found one? I think they usually carry more.

This was... I liked this. More than I expected. It's a grapey one and usually I don't care for grape sodas but I think it works.

Kitchen Sink Mix

It's just a bunch of gummies from different companies in the same bag. Not a complaint.

I've reviewed most of these and frankly it's a good mix of different kinds of gummies. Thankfully, not TOO many "creme" gummies.

Popcorn - Blueberry Glazed

Oh, gourmet sugary popcorn? Yes please.

It's good but... I don't think it tasted like blueberry to me. It just tasted like sugar.

Sour Razzleberry Cotton Candy

Razzleberry is a stupid name and I kind of admire it.

A surprisingly pleasant sour cotton candy. Lemon and berry together. A lot of fruit flavours don't... pop to me. But this really does.
