Hi Everyone! How are you? I am fine.
So far this whole thing has been pretty anonymous. You don’t know me, and I don’t know you, and that’s how it’s been. What’s this though? You’re about to find out a big thing about me, and this thing will open up a world of other things you will know about me. The thing is, I go to National Trust places at the weekend sometimes.
What else does this mean? Well, judging by the other
men I see there, I think we can safely say the following: I do what my wife
tells me to do, I own chinos, I have children who are a bit entitled, I have
never had a haircut that was anything other than generic, I only like walking
if I’m never more than half a mile away from a kiosk where I can buy a latte, I
don’t mind standing in a queue for a sausage roll for 45 minutes, I can make a game
of hide and seek last for ages by simply not trying to find a 5 year old (even
though I know exactly where he is), and so on and so forth.
But do I like Honey Chocolate Spread? There’s
only one way to find out!

| Rich and Smooth! (That's how I like my Chocolate Honey Spread) |
(the answer is going to be no)
Taste
What’s not to like? I like Honey! I love
Chocolate spread! It’s a match made in heaven. Except it’s not is it?
I was super excited about this one. I was
annoyed when my children opened the jar before me, and even more annoyed that
they’d eaten half of it before I had even had a try, but I needn’t have
worried.

| Too Much? Never been a problem before.... |
I don’t know what it was, but I just didn’t like
this at all. It was definitely very sweet, but that’s never stopped me before. There
was just something about it that made me a bit queasy. Maybe (definitely) I put
too much on my toast, but that’s never been a problem before with either chocolate
spread or Honey, the more the better with those guys.
This was just a combination of too sweet, too rich
and just plain not a good flavour combo in my book. Bad times.
I have to say here, that this is just my opinion.
Normally I wouldn’t bother saying that, but my kids tried it and loved it. They
don’t have a blog though, so their opinion doesn’t count does it?
Texture
Nice for a bit. Definitely more chocolate than
honey, easy to spread and if it had tasted nice I think it would have had a
delightful texture. Unfortunately, the more I ate, the less I liked it and it’s
basic badness made me dislike everything about it.
Objectively the texture was good, so I’ll score
it on that I suppose. I don’t want to though.
Packaging
Classic spread/jam jar, classic National Trust labelling.
All round classic, but not like ‘CLASSIC’ like a great night out, or some gold
trainers, more like ‘classic’ like a perfectly functional, uninspiring table.
I’ve actually had some great national trust
produce in the past, so this caught my eye and I can’t complain.
Marketing
None. Again.
I’m going to make an effort to buy something I’ve
seen an advert for next time, just so I have something to say in this bit.
Novelty Factor
Decent I think. I’ve never seen honey chocolate
spread before, and I’m the sort of person who would look for it. Maybe because
people have tried making it before, and actually tasted it before they sold it,
so they didn’t bother.
Final Scores
Taste- 2/10
Texture- 8/10
Packaging- 6/10
Marketing- 0/10
Novelty Factor- 8/10
Overall- 22/50
Not the worst so far, but only because it’s such
a bad idea it scores highly in novelty. That’s nothing to brag about.
Do I like Chocolate honey spread? I think I've made my thoughts quite clear.
Anyway, something that someone has actually
bothered to advertise next week. That’s something to look forward to isn’t it?
