Heart Nuggets

You thought there would be no more Valentine's day products?
Even I am not that heartless.
Not when there are heart shaped chicken nuggets available.



But what can I write about nuggets?
The box is at least very Valentineish.
Red velvet and hearts all around.



The nuggets are the same chicken flavoured mixture of questionably origin as usual.
They smell the same and taste the same.
But they are heart shaped... And that is pretty awesome.

Once again... Have a happy Valentine's day.

Gnaw - The Love Bar

Today is Valentine's day.
A day historically remembered for the Christian martyrs sacrificing themselves for their beliefs.
Many of them had the name Valentine and that is why we turned it into an epic love fest.



As you can tell, I am not that fond of Valentine's day.
But nevertheless... Traditions are traditions.
From the chocolate factory in Gnorfolk, we have The Love Bar.
Basically an white chocolate bar with chevy candy hearts.



I think the packaging is pretty nice.
It is a bit subtle because not all people connect Venice with romance and love.
The chocolate has a smell of white chocolate but there the hearts does not smell like anything.
It tastes like regular white chocolate and the hearts does not taste that much.
Pretty bland if you ask me.

Have a nice Valentine's day.

Pepsi EX Extra

Wow, I should rename this blogg to "On Hiatus..."
Has it been a month already?
I guess i needed a break, but have no fear, we are back.



And what better way to start this blogg year with some caffeine.
This is Pepsi Japans latest entry on the energy drink market.
I have previously written about the Pepsi Energy Cola.
Back then I thought it was an ok energy drink but with an weird after taste.
This time, I am trying the Pepsi EX Extra.



It is an 200ml can of soda, that packs the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee.
The can is very much Pepsi, with a giant logo and that blue Pepsi color.
With the previous product, they went with a golden can.
I think I like this version better, the Pepsi can should be blue.

It has a similar taste as the PEC, but with a bit more Pepsi flavouring in it.
I like this one better, it does not have that weird after taste.
It is more like an over caffeinated Pepsi.

Happy New Year

I want to thank all of my readers and wish you a Happy New Year!
I will see you again in 2014 with more Candy 'n Stuff!

M&M Gingerbread

Oh boy! Christmas Eve is finally here!
It has been a nice season and there have been much to try and write about.
I really hope Santa brings me some more candy (or stuff) for next year.
I think I have been really good.

Like the previous post, this one is also about gingerbread flavoring.
That nice little candy called M&M has joined the gingerbread league.
And just look at that package, it is so nice.
It definitely has that brown gingerbread color.
And the red M&M in a Santa suit.
With an expression that says: "Yeah, we have gone gingerbread baby!"



The candy comes in three Christmas colors. Red, green and brown.
Red is for Santa.
Green is for the Christmas tree.
And brown is of course for gingerbread.

They have a pretty strange buttery smell.
But gingerbread dough have butter in it so what about the taste?
The taste changes somehow between M&Ms.
Sometimes it taste like gingerbread cookies.
Sometimes like gingerbread dough.
And sometimes like slightly burned gingerbread cookies.
Maybe they are trying to simulate baking gingerbread cookies?
You always burn the first batch, hehe.



I would like to give a special Christmas greeting to Kevin how got these for me. Merry Christmas man!

To all my readers, I would like to wish a...

Twix Gingerbread

We are nearing us the end of this Christmas season.
And what better than some more gingerbread flavors?
Regular Twix are available in Sweden and they are always nice.
And when I saw these gingerbread flavored ones, I had to have them.
The bag is very gingerbready.
It has the right color and those gingerbread men are just lovely.



These are like regular Twix, but the caramel has been flavored with gingerbread.
There is no real smell of gingerbread unfortunately.
They smell more of regular Twix, which is to say, milk chocolate.
It is really a shame that the cookie bar was not a gingerbread cookie bar.
Because while the caramel does taste like gingerbread.
It is not nearly enough flavor to satisfy my gingerbread cravings.



I would like to take the opportunity to thank Kevin for getting these for me.
Thanks man!

Apotekarnes Årsmust 2013 [Limited Edition]

I know what I said... No more beverages.
But I could not resist this one.
In Sweden we drink a lot of julmust during Christmas.
I do not know how to translate julmust.
The best i found was carbonated Christmas cordial (or sap).
It is a soft drink made from hop and malt extract and different spices.
It is said that only two people know the entire original recipe.



Anyway, this is a vintage limited edition with a special flavoring.
This year, the flavoring is dark chocolate.
Dark chocolate is something I am not that fond of.
At least not when eating it straight up.
So this should be interesting.



It smells like regular julmust.
Which is a sweet smell with a faint smell of beer in the background.
At first it does taste like regular julmust.
But after a while, the flavor transforms.
The taste becomes darker.
There is definitely a chocolate flavor.
It is not totally like dark chocolate.
More like light dark chocolate if that is a thing.
It is actually quite lovely.
Christmas must is a Christmas must!
