Hi Everyone! How are you? I am fine.
What’s the point in a blog if you can’t be controversial? There’s no-one monitoring me, I can’t get fired, so I can say things that others are too frightened to say. So here it is.
I Like Chocolate.
I don’t care who I offend, but I find chocolate
very tasty, and I refuse to apologise for that.
Taste and Texture
Standard
M&Ms, which are nice. Great tried and tested texture of crunchy shell,
chocolate and peanut.
There’s a definite
strawberry taste, but strong enough? If you’re going to go all out with the
pink packaging I feel like the product needs a bit more strawberry than it has.
Packaging
Simple. Brilliant.
Classic.
I love this
style of packaging from a big brand. On brand enough that you can tell its M&Ms,
but different enough that it stands out. Everything I love about big brand novelty
food packaging.
Marketing
I found a
Cosmopolitan article, but not a lot else. I don’t think this has had a proper
release really, we could still be in the testing stage for UK release, so maybe
more to come.
I can only
score on what I can find though!
Novelty
See taste
and texture section.
Yeah, it’s
delicious, but that’s because peanut M&Ms are delicious. Delicious is the
easy part.
The strawberry
is too subtle, and as a novelty food fan you either slap me in the face with flavour
like you’re the Ultimate Warrior at Wrestlemania VI, or you don’t bother
getting up from your seat.
This felt
like a bit of a Middle-ground attempt at a novelty food, too scared to mess too
much with the winning formula it had to go big on the novelty.
Final Scores:
Taste- 7/10
Texture- 7/10
Packaging- 7.5/10
Marketing- 1/10
Novelty
factor- 3.5/10 Another good effort, and if there’d been a stronger strawberry
taste, it would have scored higher.
Overall 26/50
The first
50% plus score and another new leader. So far, the theme has been the lack of
real novelty. Time to go big next week!
(for those
wishing to partake, this product was bought at Sweets Galore March 2018).
