Skittles Orchards



Huge disappointment. I love Skittles. Probably my all time favorite candy. But there was something off about the flavors, especially the peach.

Cherry: basic "red" flavor. Different from the standard Skittles strawberry flavor. Different and inferior.

Orange: I don't know why Skittles would make two different orange flavors, but I feel like it is different.

Lime: Again, lime is in the standard Skittles lineup, but I feel this one is different. And worse. But that seems crazy, so I think I might revisit this review as a face off between Skittles Original and Skittles Orchards.

Peach: Not good. There's some kind of tropical flavor going on. Tastes very little like peach.

I'm not sure what happened with Skittles Orchards. Maybe they were trying to use less expensive flavorings. I'd say they taste more artificial than original Skittles.

75/100

Peeps Lemon Delight


Peeps Lemon Delight "Flavored Marshmallow Dipped in Lemon Fudge.

I'm not generally a fan of Peeps, so you can consider that along with my review. That said, I found them to be mildly pleasant. Upon first opening the package I was hit with a nice smell of lemon (not quite fresh lemon, but not overly chemical), but the flavoring didn't quite get there. The marshmallow is supposed to be flavored, but my test for that (biting off the heads) was just mild sweetness. The lemon "fudge" has a mild but pleasant lemon flavor. I would say it is more like the coating on yogurt covered raisins than fudge. Certainly a step up from the regular peeps, but not something I'd seek out.
58/100.
