Hustinetten Lemon Drops

Today I’m going a little more international than usual. We all know that Germany makes some of the best candy in the world. Well at least one of my favorite brands, Haribo! Anyway, check out the Candy Tuesday’s video review!

I’ve found that you can purchase these at Ebay.de (German local site) and online at Online Supermarket store website but the shipping takes 21 days and the price is expensive. Unless you’re going to do a lot of Germany candy shopping I would recommend checking out Ebay first!

They were good and I can imagine that all other flavors are as well!

Gluten free candy

// February 22nd, 2010 // No Comments » // Gluten Free Candy

Recent studies have shown that gluten is not suitable for certain children. Unfortunately, many types of candy contain gluten making it difficult to find gluten free candy for your child.

Of course, some children are actually gluten intolerant and can develop serious allergic reactions to it (like myself), which is why it is important to have test performed and see if your little wonder really is gluten intolerant. If the tests come out positive, you can read the following and find the best gluten free candy available.

Most candy producers have a gluten free candy line up, similar in taste and texture to the ones that contain gluten. Ask the retailer to provide with a full list of the gluten free candy on supply (most of them have that list ready and waiting). After that you can start choosing the candy your child loves the most and ensure that he or she is safe eating it.

There is of course that very narrow market share that contains producers of gluten free candy only. These are the ones you should focus on. They are tastier and healthier for your child compared to other ones from which the gluten was extracted. Yes, they may have a little higher price tag, but it really makes no difference (specially developed gluten free candy is about ten to twelve percent more expensive per pound).

Don’t avoid this issue because otherwise you could cause serious health problems to your child. It isn’t all that difficult to find and provide with this special gluten free candy. Even children that can eat gluten safely are better off without the gluten and I recommend trying this type of candy for these children as well.

In conclusion, gluten free candy is available, but you will probably have to ask specifically for it, even in supermarkets, because it has only been introduced to the market recently. Prices will go down as well, so your child can benefit from this healthy treat.

Trident Origins Mandarin Green Tea Gum

// February 10th, 2010 // No Comments » // Candy Video Review, Gum

You guys getting ready for Valentine’s Day?! I hope so. Enjoy the video!

Here is a close up of the gum package that included only 6 pieces of Trident Gum. Its amazing how things skim down..

After the video, the gum did last like most chewing gum (not very long)… Overall, the flavor was good but I’ve had better sugar free good flavored gum! Well, I least I tried.
