Name: Ring Pop Origin: America Type: Lollipop Obtained: sent by my lovely friend, Robyn Price: N/A - gift What I can say about this candy:

I remember something similar from my childhood, but they were push pops and pretty messy and sticky! This one is a bit of a nostalgia candy! Also fun, definitely a fun candy.

Name: Skittles Origin: America Type: Chewy Candy Obtained: sent by my lovely friend, Robyn Price: N/A - gift What I can say about this candy:

Skittles are a rather rare treat here in Germany. You can get them in some stores but don’t count on it! I only ever had the regular skittles and I freaking love chewy candy.

The sour Skittles were pretty good! Solid chewy candy with a tiny bit of a sour twist. They weren’t as sweet.

Name: Sour Patch Kids Origin: America Type: soft and chewy jelly candy Obtained: sent by my lovely friend, Robyn Price: N/A - gift What I can say about this candy:

We have previously determined that I am a huge fan of chewy candy! So, I was very excited to try these.

I can’t say that I noticed much of the sour coating. The jelly kids were very delicious nontheless!

I absolutely love the rich flavor. They had some sort of sour/sugary coating, which made consuming multiple SP Kids a little messy. But maybe that’s just me… being messy.

Name: Warheads Origin: America Type: Hard Candy Obtained: sent by my lovely friend, Robyn Price: N/A - gift What I can say about this candy:

Dear mother of god!

Robyn told me to try these right away, so I did, and oh god, was that a painful experience.

At first I tried the Blue Raspberry flavor, it was pretty sour but I could deal with it! When that first jaw-clinching feeling is over, it tastes of flowers! Definitely delicious and unique in flavor.

Name: Fruit Gushers Origin: America Type: fruity, chewy candy with a liquid middle Obtained: sent by my lovely friend, Robyn Price: N/A - gift What I can say about this candy:

Gushers were a very unique experience for my mouth!

The chewy, soft candy itself tasted similar to berry compote with a dash of vanilla. Very hard to explain but we got a dessert here called “Grütze”, which is very similar in flavor.

Again, the flavor is very rich and almost overwhelming. Once you start to chew on it, the liquid core will gush into your mouth. The core itself is more of a very sweet syrup.

Name: Reese’s Pieces Origin: America Type: Crunchy Candy Obtained: sent by my lovely friend, Robyn Price: N/A - gift What I can say about this candy:

Hallelujah, the peanut butter gods have spoken!

In case you aren’t aware: In Germany, we do not get peanut butter sweets. We get one or two types of peanut butter and that’s that! And I freaking LOVE peanut butter. I will devour a pot of peanut butter bread spread in under a week - easily.

Name: Starburst Origin: America Type: Soft, chewy candy Obtained: sent by my lovely friend, Robyn Price: N/A - gift What I can say about this candy:

Fruity flavor explosion!

Here in Germany, we got a very similar candy called Maoam, but let me tell you… this does not compare. The flavor is extremely fruity and rich. I could hardly tell what flavor I had in my mouth, it just tasted like a mix of energy drink and melted gummy bears.

Name: Pop Rocks Origin: America Type: Popping Candy Obtained: sent by my lovely friend, Robyn Price: N/A - gift What I can say about this candy:

Oh my, this is so much fun!

I remember, again from my childhood, that we used to have little foot-shaped lollipops with popping candy to dip them in. I have no idea what sort of traumatizing value that had but the popping candy definitely stuck with me.

I never had Pop Rocks before though! These are very lovely and enjoyable. The flavor reminded me of how my bathing soap smells - not in a bad way! The strawberry is quite artifical but still enjoyable.

Name: Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Origin: America Type: Chocolate Bar Obtained: sent by my lovely friend, Robyn Price: N/A - gift What I can say about this candy:

Today I had a fairly short day at work, so I skipped breakfast and just took some energy source with me, this Hershey’s bar!

Now we all know that Germany, where I live, is probably a country with some of the most delicious chocolates, so why did I want Hershey’s? Because it’s always good to try new things, clearly! And I wasn’t disappointed.
