Nestle Wonka Sour Nerds Review

I have seen these sweets in the past but have never tried them so I thought I'd give them a try.

These are called Wonka Sour Nerds and are made by Nestle the box is a nice green and yellow design. Has wee cute creatures which i think are meant to be representative of the nerds all over the box. Also says the recommended serving size is a table spoon. This is filled with artificial flavorings and they taste like it. It also says its genetically modified ingredients so if you not keen on that don't eat these. A warning on the packet says may have adverse affect on activity and attention in children so although this packet clearly appeals to children you should avoid them eating to much of these. 

In this box there is two different flavors one is called Amped Apple and the other is Lightening Lemon both taste nice and like what they are meant to taste like but I would say if your looking for something sour these aren't all that great they taste nice but they are not as sour as you would be lead to believe by a name like Sour Nerds. 

I think these are nice and will probably try some of the other flavors in the future but the sourness in this one was disappointing.

I'd give this a 5/10

Tesco Salted Popcorn

Like everyone normal I believe popcorn at the cinema to be far to over priced. Not long ago it used to be the only alternative to buying popcorn in the cinema was to by popcorn in the shops which was greatly cheaper but only really came in a toffee flavor. I was never very keen on the bags of toffee popcorn but I did eat them because it was better than spending vast amounts of money on it. But now Tesco have there own brands of different flavored popcorn recently i tried the salt popcorn this has to be the most like cinema popcorn you can possibly get in a prepared bag in the shops they actually taste really nice despite them not being hot it tastes exactly like you would hope and expect it to 

I recommend this because it is a very cheap (£1) alternative to the cinema popcorn at an almost superior quality 10/10

Baby Ruth Chocolate Bar Review

This Chocolate bar hit me as a bit of a surprise I found it on sale in the imports section of my local Tesco so because it was only a pound I thought I'd give it a try.

The wrapper is silver and blue with red writing outlined by white which says Baby Ruth and slightly above this it says Nestle.

The bar contains 4 Grams of protein as it is keen to point out on the front of the wrapper. This chocolate bar is not something you should eat if you are on a diet because the ingredients are quite bad for you 63.9g of carbohydrates and 23.5g of fat which isn't very good but this bar does not claim to be healthy. The ingredients also mention that it is produced from genetically modified soybean and genetically modified maize. This product also contains peanuts so if your allergic to nuts steer clear of this.

This bar tastes very much like a Snickers bar it has nougat, caramel, peanuts and chocolate in it which is pretty much the same ingredients. I would say this is nice but the similarity between the two bars would put me off getting this bar because the other bar is so much cheaper and easier to obtain in the UK. So I would suggest Snickers instead but if you are in a place were these are available and Snickers aren't then you should try this one other that wouldn't say trying this one is very necessary.

I'd give this a 7/10

Schweppes Cream Soda Review

Brand - Schweppes
Price - 80p
Shop - Tesco
Country of Origin - Hong Kong

Typical Nutritional Values Per 100ml
Energy    196kj  47kcal
Protein    0g
Carbohydrates   12g
Fat          0g

155 Calories Per Can

The can is a rather plain looking green and white can with the Schweppes logo and the words Cream Soda on the side accompanied with a big white sticker Tesco put on their imported stock which tells you all the nutritional details which is good for people that care about that kind of thing but for me is slightly annoying because i just like to look at the Japanese writing on the side of my cans but that's not a complaint about the drink its about Tesco.

This is really very nice cream soda tasted like vanilla as you would expect i think i would even go so far as to say it that its better than any cream soda I've ever tasted. However this did cost 80p for a 330ml can whereas other brands are like 30p but that is a marginal difference and to some might not even matter but this one definitely has the taste advantage over its competition.

I wish this was more readily available here in the UK if it wasn't for Tesco starting to sell it might have ended up having to buy it on the internet.

I completely recommend this its a very nice refreshing fizzy drink.

I'd give this a 9/10

Below is my video of me trying this

Lotte Koala No March (Chocolate Flavoured Biscuits) Review

Brand - Lotte
Shop - Tesco
Price - £1.50
Country Of Origin - Japan

These come in a very nice little colourful hexagonal box which has cute koala bear designs all over it. All the writing which is on the box is in Japanese but on the packet I bought there is a big white sticker placed on it by Tesco which lists the ingredients in it in English. It also has the Australian koala association logo on the side of the box and apparently some of the profits made from these biscuits go to that particular charity which is good.

These are very small crunchy koala shaped biscuits with lovely milk chocolate in the middle they are heavenly to eat. Each of the biscuits have different pictures of koalas actually baked into the delicious cookie. These are a pretty convenient snack because the small bag could easily fit into your pocket if you want a small snack while your out and about these would be perfect. The amount of biscuits there are in a packet is not a massive amount but its a good size for the price it costs and i would say its definitely worth trying and if you don't like them then you must be dead inside.

I think I'd give these a 9/10
