"Smarties" vs. "SweeTarts"

Hey! I hope you're doing good. The weather in MN is getting colder, but I'm still trying new candies and will show it to you!

Today I compare two (OMG, 2!!!) of the same kinds of candies but from different brands. Here are they: "Smarties" and "SweeTarts" by Wonka. First of all, they caught my attention with their unusual form. You think that it is a long candy. But no! There are small colored tablets in one pack! Awesome! Now I will talk about each one.

The "Smarties" pack consists of 15 light-colored tablets. When you put a couple of them in your mouth you cannot feel anything. But then, when it starts to melt, you taste a sweet flavor. After that it turns a little bit sour and you feel tiny particles of "Smarties" on your tongue. I do not have enough patience to wait for it all to melt, so, I just bite it. It is interesting, because I feel more sour taste.

"SweeTarts" by Wonka consist of 13 bright-colored hard tablets. As soon as you taste it you can feel sour and astringent flavor in one and the same time. Like in Chinese cuisine (just kidding!:).  And this taste lasts a long timje. Try to keep it in your mouth without biting and you will feel big particles and more sweet taste.

 I should say that "SweeTarts" are a little bit harder than "Smarties" but it does not make their taste worse. Enjoy it!

P.S. I'm sorry, I have a problems with my flash-drive. These photo are from Internet.

"Dubble Bubble" Gum

I have lived here since August; my gastronomical experiences were different. The thing, which I tried first was a gum. Yes, just gum. I said to my host-mom: "The Dubble Bubble is the best fruit gum I've ever tried".

"Dubble Bubble" looks like candy. When you unwrap it you can feel amazing smell of fruits: watermelon, grape, apple or "special" original. Whatever taste you like. Firts, it is kind a hard to chew it. But when the gum becomes soft, you can enjoy it's taste.

I remember great gums from my childhood with cute names "Love is..." I enjoyed different tastes of it and liked to make big bubbles from it. When I was 7 this thing disappeared. Yeah, sad... But now my child's memories can come back. With "Dubble Bubble" I can make the biggest bubbles ever! It is sad, that taste of gum does not remain for a long time, but you always can take another one!


"Bubble Dubble" brand also provide flavored gum-balls. They also have wide range of fruit tastes, but for my opinion it is really hard to chew it. You should wait for melting. That's why I prefer usual "Dubble Bubble" gum with original taste.
