Super Lemon: OH! Powerful Candy

You’re not kidding. These are stronger than warheads and when you pop one in your mouth you will have the same expression as the girl on the cover of this packet

Green Tea Soft Candy

I don’t know why this is called candy. It’s foul tasting chewy stuff that only an evil Santa would hand out to kids. Give these to those annoying Trick or Treaters on Halloween

Teddy Pop Candy

a. China Blue flavour: This tastes nothing like blue china b. Green Apple Soda: not bad c. Banana yogurt: spat that one out d. Mango and Apple: not bad e. Cranberry Lemon: not bad f. Pink Lemonade: not bad, oh my, what’s next?

Yam Yam: Strawberry and Chocolate

Sadly, the strawberry side brings back memories of cough medicine. The chocolate side is very Uncle Toby’s Le Snack if you can imagine a cracker with a chocolate French onion spread

Kiwi Fruit Chews

These didn’t taste distinctly kiwi fruit-ish to me but they are very nice and not unlike Strawberry Starburst Fruit Chews. I think I’ll have another one

Choc Shell Candy

These look like Smarties only in more pleasing retro colours. They also taste like Smarties too. Very nice

Dice Thing

Very nifty little box with two pleasing caramels inside

    My step-girls are obsessed with Japanese candy and especially love Pocky - which is basically breadsticks dipped in chocolate or strawberry.

    I could make the very same thing for a fraction of the exorbitant cost, but apparently it just wouldn’t taste as good without the “awesome” packaging. Kids. grrr

    Yep we had some Pocky but that went really fast
