Cow Tales

Type: Chewy caramel with a creamy center

( Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry)

Origin: U.S.A

Manufacture : Goetze's Candy

Purchase from North Beach Candy Store San Francisco

When i saw Cow Tails, i was overcome with joy. I was happy as a cow ! It was like finding a hidden treasure. I, then,decided to purchase all the three flavors of Cow Tails. They are at about 50 cent each and apparently they' re rare and hard to find.

Of all the three different flavors, Strawberry is my favorite, then the vanilla and the chocolate come in the last.

The Strawberry cow tails is my favorite of all three. I love anything with strawberry. They are my favorite fruits. It has a strong smell of a strawberry. It is pink in color with a white cream filling. As you begin to chew the candy, the strawberry flavour fills your mouth and awaken all your taste bud. I will buy this candy again.

Rating:7

The Vanilla cow tails is mild and pleasant. I have a hard time choosing which is my favorite between the strawberry and the vanilla cow tails. It is not overly sweet and pleasantly chewy without the problem of sticking to your teeth.

Rating: 7

The chocolate cow tails definitely does not taste nor smell of a chocolate. The flavor reminded me of a Tootsie-Roll. It has a waxy, pasty texture with a white creme filling. It is not overly sweet but definitely not tasty.

Bananko

Purchase from European Deli in San Francisco

This must have been the smallest chocolate bar. It is petite in size, only 7 cm long. It has a very fragrant smell of a banana. It has a yellow color fillings with a texture of a cream. It is not too sweet or heavy. In fact, it is actually quite pleasant and has just enough banana flavour.

If you are craving for a soda and you cant find it anywhere, this soda poppers candies will satisfy you well. These hard filled candies comes in four very popular soda; 7up,A&W,Dr.Peppers and Crush Orange. Each one of these candies have a distinct soda's smell. They taste like a flat soda. However, they are too sweet for me and it taste like eating pure sugar.

Lion

Type: Original Lion Bar
Caramel, filled wafer, and crisp cereal covered in milk chocolate
Origin: England
Manufacture: Nestle
Purchase from a Middle-Eastern store at Tenderloin Area, San Francisco

Lion Bar is definitely satisfying and delicious. I finished the whole bar at one sitting. It is chewy, crispy and mouth-watering. Lion chocolate bar is hugely popular in England and especially marketed towards the male consumers. Lion Bar is one of my favorites.
The only downside about this bar is that a single bar is packed with 267 calories!!!

The Original 100 grand is still the best of all three. Smooth, not too sweet , crispy and has a good crunch to it.

2. Limited Edition 100 Grand Dark Chocolate. Rating: 7

The dark chocolate has a strong bittersweet flavour and the caramel has also very strong distinct flavour. The caramel is stringy and chewy. The dark chocolate overwhelms the whole candy bar.

3. 100 Grand with peanuts. Rating: 6

I am not sure what they try to achieve with this bar. The peanut overwhelms the whole candy bar.

Type: Peanut Butter Take 5 made with pretzel, caramel, peanut butter and peanut butter candy.

Origin:U.S.A

Manufacture: Hersey's

Purchase from various liquor store in San Francisco.

My favorite among the three is the Original Take 5. I think Hersey's should just stick with the original. The original has great flavour. I love the crunchiness of the pretzel, chewy and stringy caramel and the sweet and salty taste of the peanut butter.

Rating: 9

The Peanut Butter Take 5 is too much for me. It is overload with peanut butter. I like peanut butter but not that much! I feel that it is too filling, too rich and the flavour too intense. I just had 2 bites and i could not finish them.

Rating: 7

The Limited Edition Marshmallow Take 5 has a very interesting flavour. In my opinion, it taste funky and definitely, not a good combination.

Abba-Zaba

Type: Chewy Taffy Peanut Butter Center
Origin: U.S.A
Manufacture :Annabelle Candy Co
Purchase from a Shell Gas Station Filmore St. San Francisco

My friend at work raved so much about this bar. I have tried other Annabelle's products and most of them turned to a disappointment for me. This hard to chewy, stuck to your gum taffy is unpleasant in every way. I don't like the flavour nor the uneasiness around my gum.

Rating: 4

Type: Apple Taffy. Peanut Butter Center

Overall i don't like the texture but as for flavour, this one is the winner! I love the sourness from the apple and the saltiness from the peanut butter. It works wonderful well together.

Bubble Yum Hersey's

Type: Gum with Hersey's Genuine Chocolate flavour
Origin: U.S.A.
Manufacture: Hersey's
Purchase from Daily City Target, California

I love chocolate but the idea of a chocolate flavour gum; i am a little eerie and skeptical.

When i opened the wrapper, it smelled of chocolate. As i began to chewy, the flavor constantly reminded me of a Tootsie-Roil. It has a mild and subtle cocoa powder flavor rather than chocolate. After few minutes of chewing this gum, i just could not take it anymore. I am sorry Hersey's! I love you as a chocolate bar but not as a gum.

Sophie Mae Old Fashioned Cashew Brittle

Type: Cashew Brittle

Origin:U.S.A

Manufacture: Georgia's Confections

Purchase from Walgreen's at Chestnut St, San Francisco.

I found this peanut brittle along with the chocolates and candy section at Walgreen's. This product is extremely addicting. It is tasty, crunchy, not too sweet and has a well-mix of caramel and cashew nuts. The only thing i don't like about this candy is how it stuck to my teeth. Overall, it is an excellent product
