Pineapple Lumps

 

Pineapple Lumps are a snack/candy from New Zealand. They're pineapple-flavored marshmallow(?) covered with a thin layer of chocolate.

As far as snacks-of-the-world go, they're pretty good and they may be the only snack I've tried native to New Zealand.

So all of that is all well and good. But here's the twist part...

It turns out that when you mix pineapple, marshmallow and chocolate it tastes like bubble gum. I would never have guessed it in a million years and it makes no sense to me, but it is absolutely true. Weird, right?

10 MPH - Candies From Around the World

 

At one point I was feeling pretty good, thinking I had already tried most of these. But then it keeps going and going and my percentage kept dropping.

Sure, I may be accused of taking it too seriously, but I really want it clearly stated what they're tasting so I can try them myself. The purposely sloppy nature of 10 MPH strikes again.

Do Hershey's Bars Taste Like Vomit?

Blogspot has overhauled the entire system and I have a feeling the formatting of this post will be vomit. Let's see....

I haven't had any chocolate in 1 or 2 years and I have urges...

Before that I had a strange relationship with this whole issue. I grew up loving Hershey's. Then I encountered people who said it tasted awful and I re-assessed my view. From that moment on, I started liking Hershey's less. Am I a victim of peer pressure or did I fail to question my own axioms until one day "the scales fell from my eyes"? Or is something else at work? Hard to say now.

And if my opinion of Hershey's has fallen, what kind of chocolate(s) do I consider to be superior? I would love to be able to do a chocolate taste test and get down to some facts.

GMM - Worst Halloween Candy Tournament

The 16 worst candies are set up bracket-style. One by one, the best of the worst are eliminated until the worst of the worst is revealed.







When I think to my days trick-or-treating, I think the candy I dreaded most was Mary Janes. I don't remember what they tasted like so maybe it was just the packaging. But Mary Jane isn't even included here. Maybe it's a regional food? Good & Plenty was quite bad too. With Good & Plenty, I always thought I'd like them because they looked good but then I'd rediscover the reality.
