Suso Tropical Fizz

Here's another thing I picked up at B&M

I've seen these before but in the thin 250ml cans. They used to be 99p a pop :o
But this was 29p for a 330ml can, bargain ;)
It's a sexy looking can, along with the others in the range
So this is the tropical flavour and it has 60% juice, carbonated and no added sugar. Sounds good so far. I have high hopes for this. If it's good, I might go back and get some more. On the back it says the fruits inside are grape, apple, orange, lemon, acerola (what the hell is that?), mango, passion fruit and pineapple
It should be better than the LOL drink I tried the other day

So now it's time to crack it open straight from the fridge.... Oh yeah....

It's the usual tropical juice colour, yellowy orange. It smells kind of like Lilt too....
It tastes kind of watered down and weak, but besides that, it's pretty good. Really tropical tasting and not just mostly orange like most tropical juice drinks

If they put less water in, it'd be a definite nine out of ten, but at the moment I can only give it a even out of ten. But well worth the 29p I paid for it. If there's a B&M near you or a similar discount warehouse type shop, have a look for them in there ;)

LOL Razz Bri

What a great name, eh? Haha

I think it's pretty obvious by the feel of the name and picture what demographic group this is aimed at. It's a fizzy 75% fruit juice drink with no added sugar\colours\sweeteners\caffeine\crap and so on. I'm guessing it's for younger kids as an alternative to sugary carbonated drinks like Fanta or energy drinks. But the thing is, fruit juice is nearly as bad as other drinks for sugar, aren't they?
There were two other flavours on sale in Asda, but I'll review them at a later date (EDIT: I've actually already drank these, haha. I give them a 6 out of 10 for both). They were all a pound a piece (a bit steep if you ask me), but these really caught my eye and sound pretty good. The name and flavour is even written how little kids write online :o
Yay! Bad spelling! Haha

It's a pretty cool looking can albeit it a bit gimmicky, but hey, let's pop this beast open and wreak havoc upon my innards. Oh wait, I can't, it's crap free >:I

It smells really strong of raspberry (even though it's only 2% raspberry juice. The other 73% is apple juice. It's the same with the other flavours). A really nice smell

:O Guess what I've just realised? I've finally found something which is raspberry flavour using real raspberry and it's not blue!!!!!! There is a god!

But anywho, It's only mildly fizzy and doesn't taste as strong as it smells, it's kind of weak. I'm sure I can detect a slight bit of ginger or something similar too? I don't know....

Overall, it's pretty good, but I feel it's selling more on a gimmick than the actual product. Maybe this will be the new thing I'm going to be picking up in the car park at work when the school kids go back after the holidays
If you see it fairly cheap, give it a go. I give it eight and a half out of ten ;)

Jolly Rancher Fruit Chews

These were picked up in Truro while I was down Cornwall visiting the missus from a small sweet shop by the cathedral

Now, unfortunately I didn't get a single apple on in the box I bought. What the hell?!?!
But ah well, Apple isn't my favourite flavour ever
But other than apple, the flavours are cherry, watermelon and red raspberry
No, just kidding, it's blue raspberry
I've had various Jolly Rancher sweets before, so I know they're pretty decent
I also have a bag of hard ones, but they'll be reviewed some other day

So let's start with the watermelon flavour. It's in a pale-ish pink wrapper and the chew itself is a funny pink-ish-slightly-orange colour. It's fairly sticker and there's always remnants of the wrapper stuck to it.This flavour is pretty sweet. It does't taste like what I remember watermelon tastes like (I haven't had it in a long time), but it's a nice flavour. Kind of refreshing and cool, not too hard on the ol' taste buds. The texture is fairly soft and when you chew, you accumulate a fair bit of juice in your mouth.

Then onto the blue raspberry. This one's in a blue wrapper and is blue itself (what a surprise). The taste is pretty strong and has a slight tang to it, in my opinion. It's the usual blue raspberry flavour but a bit stronger

And now for the cherry, my favourite Jolly Rancher flavour. I love these. It's in a deep red wrapper and so it the sweet. These have an amazing flavour. It's not the same cherry flavour a everything else out there. It reminds me of those cheapo round lollipops you can get. It definitely stands out from most other cherry things. Maybe I'll try to get the drink one day....

The box is also nice. There's a little flap on the back which allow you to close the box and not have the top pop open. That's pretty handy

But overall (besides the apple flavour), if you like bold, slap in the face flavours, and prefer to chew things than have sugar floating around your mouth for minutes forming cavities, I can't recommend these enough. I think they're brilliant and will probably get some more at some point

Nine out of ten!

Skittles

Here I have 3 packs of Skittles all the way from America :O
Wild Berry, Blenders and Tropical. In the UK, we can only get plain, sour and crazy cores. I'll be giving a description of them, but not review them (I'm feeling lazy. Maybe I'll do it another day)

So, I'll start of with the UK packs.
Here's the plain fruit one

There pack I have here with me has a competition on saying "Win nearly 50 pound". What an odd prize, haha....
Anywho, the flavours are strawberry (red), blackcurrant (purple), orange (orange), lime (green) and lemon (yellow). I believe these are the same as in the US besides their purple skittle is grape (*cough* soap) flavour
I like these, they're pretty good. The red and purple are my favourites ;)
Today I've also put some of them in a bottle with some vodka in the hope it'll produce a decent drink. I've heard it's nice

Then we have the sour ones

They're not all too sour, just have a slight tang to them. Anywho, the flavours are pineapple (yellow), raspberry (pink), orange (orange), apple (green) and cherry (purple)


Then recently the crazy core flavour has emerged

These ones are a bit different.... They're nice, but not the best. I prefer the sours, in all honesty. The flavours are.... I don't know, haha.... They used to say on the pack, but now they don't. I'm sure you'll find out ;)

So now to the US ones I have
I think I'll go with the wild berry flavour
Here's a picture

It's a different type of pack than the ones on the UK market. And it weights slightly more (by six and a half grams! :o )
So the flavours are raspberry (blue), strawberry (pink), melon berry (green. What the hell's a melon berry?), berry punch (purple. Watch out, it's gonna smack me one) and wild cherry (red. There doesn't seem to be domestic cherries in the US. They're all feral and will rip your limbs off if you come near their nest)
These are artificially and naturally (there's hope for America yet!) flavoured
Let's crack these bad boys open, shall we?
They look the same size and shape as the UK ones, but the strawberry one is a realyl funny off-pink-ish colour. Kind of like a bad sunburnt colour
This guy here has a strawberry skittle on his head (They do look this colour, no kidding)

I do believe it says "With TUI cars you also get attractive convertibles" (I'm learning German ;) )

Hey! The purple one I picked out doesn't even have the S on it >:I

So I'll start with red one. Wild cherry. It's that "cherry" flavour you get all the time. As far as I can remember, cherries don't actually taste like that.... But it's a fairly nice flavour I guess.
Onto the green one, young knave! Melon berry :o I've never even heard of that... Is it just a generic melon crossed with a generic berry flavour? I know melon berry is one of the crazy core flavours in the UK though.... So let's see.... It's odd, I can't quite put my finger on the flavour. It's familiar to me from somewhere, like I've had it before. Probably the crazy core flavours, but yeah.. It's ok, better than the cherry one
No to the berry punch, please don't mug me! :'( Oh wow, this one's nice. It tastes like the generic fruit punch flavour though, and it seems to have a "cool" tasting flavour.
Strawberry, prefer yourself for digestion! Hmm... It tastes like the strawberry from the UK fruit pack, except a bit creamier. It's nice. Best one so far
And now for the last one, raspberry (blue, what a surprise, eh?). I'm hoping this is a nice flavour as raspberry is my favourite fruit flavour :3
It tastes like raspberry jam (you know how jam tastes slightly different from the actual fruit?) Skittles have done raspberry justice. Kudos to you Skittles. Kudos to you
Overall, these are pretty good. On the rate-ometer it scores a delectable eight and a half out of ten :o


Now onto the blue pack, the tropical one
Here's yet another picture :o

Contained in the depths of this pack, hoarded away from my prying eyes are the flavours of pineapple passionfruit (blue), banana berry (yellow), mango tangelo (orange), kiwi lime (green) and strawberry starfruit (pink)
Let's crack 'em open! HYAH!
I'm gonna start with the orange one, mango tangelo, simply because I have no idea what a tangelo is. *Googles it* Oh wow, haha. It's like an orange with a nipple on top *immature moment*!

It just tastes of orange, if I'm honest. Nothing special in my eyes. Maybe I'm just being dumb and not noticing the mango.
Now for the banana berry one. I'm not a fan of bananas, but I don't mind banana milkshake. I've never really had anything else banana flavoured. But hey, this is quite nice. You can really notice the banana and the berry is also there to give it a slightly less tropical taste to it
Limes are one of my least favourite fruits, so I'll go for the kiwi lime flavour next. I've only ever had a kiwi when I was really young, so I can't remember what they taste like. This is the niest flavour I've had so far
Now for the strawberry and starfruit. I've never had a starfruit before, but they look interesting. Maybe I shall have to invest in purchasing one from supermarket over yonder in the near future. These ones are sunburn colour too. hmm... It's an odd flavour. I'm not too keen
And last but not least, the most, in my eyes, tropical sounding flavour in the pack. Pineapple passionfruit. Hmm... It's kind of musky tasting, I don't like this one.... Skittles, I am disappoint

Instructions for use. 1) Replace "son" with "skittles" 2) Be finished

I'll give this pack a mere 6 out of ten


And now for the final chapter of our adventure today, Skittles Blenders

This pack's full of interesting sounding flavours (all of which seem to be trademarked...)
And they are melon berry burst (blue), strawberry lime blast (pink), cherry tropicolada (red), watermelon green apple freeze (green) and mango lemonade freeze (orange). Maybe the "freeze" flavours have a menthol kind of thing going on?
Let's try the cherry one first. It has an interesting name. It's a funny taste, ugh. Not really too nice, but I recognise it from somewhere....
How about the strawberry lime one next? Yes, that sounds like a plan. The lime is really overpowering in this one. It's quite a strong flavour. It tastes like some drink I've tried before. Here's a picture

The mango lemon freeze one is next. It taste like a slightly tropical lemonade. Nothing too exciting.
Now the watermelon green apple. The melon is really noticeable in this one. I can't even taste any apple at all really
And the last one, melon berry. It tastes pretty much the same as the melon berry from the wild berry pack. How original....
I've noticed that in pretty much all five of these flavours, I can only really notice one of the fruits from it. I'll give this the same rating as the last pack, six out of ten


There's loads more flavours of skittles, but I'm not too sure where I can get them one. I really want to try the chocolate ones :D
