Twizzlers
First off, why?
What possesses people to eat these things, it's seriously like eating the smell of soap!
Bekah and I entered into this with an open mind, we were expecting great things from Twizzlers.
We seriously thought they were going to be amazing.
Bekah was all excited that the red ones would be like strawberry liquorice - safe to say they weren’t!
Did we get the wrong type or something? Seriously someone help us out here because these things just aren’t great!
Or do Americans have different taste buds?
Bekah heard they sell them at the theatre / cinema in Americam the packet we had was plastic and the Twizzlers were so sticky we had to peel them off! It made such a racket, surely that must be a total pain when you’re trying to watch a movie?
Kool-Aid
Where do we begin?…Kool-Aid is AMAZING! It’s amazing fun to make, has an amazing taste plus, the colour is pretty amazing too! But seriously, why so much sugar for such a small amount of powder? We were completed confused by this but nonetheless went ahead and poured 1cup (American measurements) of sugar in the jug - we did speak to an American friend of ours who said it’s okay to half the sugar amount.
The amazing part - well to us - is when we lost the powder in the mountain of sugar and had to pour in 8 cups of water. It was honestly a burst of colour when the powder reappeared! It would have been a good picture moment - unfortunately we haven’t cottoned on to the whole “
We bought four flavours: Grape, orange, lemonade and cherry. We’ve only tried grape and orange so far but oh boy! They are good!! To be honest I was expecting them to taste like fruit juice OR diluting juice but it’s more like a melted sweet.
Recommendation…freeze them! A much better flavour, plus if you freeze them in a cool mould then a frozen, flavoury, shape always wins ;)
The thing with Kool-Aid is that you get a teeny-tiny bit hyper. Don’t make them at 8 o’clock at night, when you’re tired and have a 9:30 lecture the next morning - not a good idea!
I don’t think I’d have it as a daily drink but would definitely have them again! They’d be good for parties (for kids parties and those who don’t do drinkies).
We’re unsure if we got the right ones for both these products, the shop we bought them from said they had been imported from America but I guess you can never really tell. We took the twizzlers to our friends house and she said we got the wrong ones…the packet does say “Twizzlers” and they look like twizzlers, hmm I guess we’ll just need to look for more!
