Short & Sweet: Post Easter Tidbits
It’s not that this is bad, but I don’t know where they got the idea that this stuff is “creme”. It might be syrup or maybe caramel, but it’s not cremey at all. It’s a caramelly goo with some ground peanuts in it ... I think. I rather liked it, but not as much as the original Egg.
Red Raspberry (medium pink) nice and berry, much more vibrant than all the other flavors The mystery here was the purple one. Sometimes it was tart and sometimes it was completely sweet. Is that Cotton Candy? Which one was supposed to be Mango Medley, are they also peach-colored? Many of the colors are devilishly similar. Unless I looked at them in bright natural light, I couldn’t tell the peach and two pinks apart. As a mix, I found them all rather similar and didn’t dislike any of them enough to pick through it, so it wins on that front. My final purchase I didn’t photograph. I stopped at Rexall by the Beverly Center and found that they had a nice display of 75% off goodies. It included two bags of Island Orange Mounds in the Fun Size. I wasn’t sure if they supposed to be part of the Easter sale. They expired last month but I’m okay with stuff on the cusp. When I got to the register they rang up at $2.00. I said I didn’t want it. The fellow shrugged and tossed in the 75% discount and I took them. They’re a little stiffer than the regular bar format I reviewed last year, but still quite nice. (Kosher) The whole lot of stuff ... for only $1.24. At full price I wouldn’t love it ... at this price everything gets a 6 out of 10. POSTED BY Cybele AT 11:12 am

Commenting is not available in this channel entry.TOTALLY, re: the Snickers eggs! I got a package this year and was sorely disappointed. I mean, there’s nougat on the picture on the outer package, right? Why did they leave it out of the egg??? Ugh. I ended up nibbling on two to make sure I hadn’t just gotten one that slipped past quality control, and then just gave the rest of the lot away when I went to class the next day. The milky ways are the same way. Bletch.
I’m lost…when did you mention peach?
Also, Deborah, all the packages I’ve seen just have an egg-shaped polka-dotted ball, not noughat.
Sophia - ooh, sorry, I meant “peach-colored”.
Deborah - I’ll have to look at the wrapper when I get home this evening.
I’m not sure if you have html enabled in your comments, but I’ll see if this works…

It’s screening my link! haha. Let me try this one more time…

Deborah - it just holds the comment for me to look at ... lest anyone end up with cialis spam in the email box. (I’ve even had my own website hold my comments for moderation!)
haha! Gotcha. How thoughtful! Anyway, you get the idea.
I was so disappointed in those Snickers Eggs!!! I really liked them last year and the package (the large outer wrapper, not the individual ones) showed nougat. Hah…they were merely toying with us! I, too, tried two in case the first one was a fluke, then I gave the rest away. Blech.
Ok, I see what you mean about the noughat. It looks like the inside of a regular Snickers, complete with tons of peanuts, and these things have like a few ground ones at most. Grr…
I actually thought the purple was the red raspberry and the medium pink was kiwi strawberry so that left the light pink to be cotton candy.
Whoa, I just looked at the Snickers photo! That’s completely deceptive because it’s definitely all caramel in there and no nougat.
Anna - You may be right. Or they may be completely inconsistent. Or a little of both!
