Vimto Fizzy Pencil Sweets Bag 220g - Made with real fruit juice - Pack of 2

Product Information

Upon doing so, I was greeted by an aroma both familiar and new; there was the usual "bag of sugary candy" smell, but there was something more, a scent that I imagine can only be produced by "Vimto flavouring." The first whiff of a fresh bag of any sort of sweets tends to be a wee bit overpowering, and this was no exception. But my nose did not find it disagreeable, just strong, so things were looking up.

Still, a little part of me dies inside every time I miss the "best before" date. It's just one more stain in my lifetime of shame. lt;p>Manufactured under licence from Nichols plc, WA12 OHH, UK, owner of the registered trademark Vimto&reg;</p> So I guess it is sort of a horror story, depending on how you feel/felt about attending elementary school. As is often the case, I would be wrong (and I should have known better; candy manufacturers will look ANYWHERE for inspiration), because today's review is all about Vimto Mini Fizzy Pencils!Notice also that Vimto Mini Fizzy Pencils are made with fruit juices (from concentrate). Fruits are healthy, right? So I'm going to believe the candy will be good for me. It's amazing how little one needs to delude oneself if one wants to believe enough. Now, I wouldn't say it's the best taste I've ever come across, but it's the sort that does not get tiresome, and that's a great quality in a candy (assuming one wants to eat a boatload of candy, which I'd say is a fair assumption). However, I found nothing "fizzy" about them, so only half of the name has any relevance to the actual product (assuming it does indeed contain "Vimto flavouring"). That is most definitely NOT a great quality in a candy. Manufactured under licence from Nichols plc, WA12 OHH, UK, owner of the registered trademark Vimto®

The "Best Before" section gives only the month, but also includes the batch number and mass of the product. I had slightly missed the date (woe is me!), but, as this review has been delayed in its release, it's not as bad as it seems, and I would certainly not expect my error to be enough to compromise the candy's quality. lt;p>Vimto&reg; flavoured fizzy sweets with a cream centre.

Lately, I have been noticing a sharp decline in the number of children out and about my neighborhood during the day. While that might seem the beginning of a horror story, it is simply a sign that summer vacation has come to an end and schools have once again stretched open their ravenous maws to devour the childhood of every available youth. Thus, this offering from Turner's gets a wonderfully welcome 3. It might not top my list, but I could indeed see myself purchasing another bag if given the opportunity. Below the list of ingredients are instructions for proper storage. To the best of my knowledge, I followed them faithfully, but "cool" and "dry" are vague and relative terms, so I can't be certain. How cool is cool? How dry is dry? Are the guidelines intentionally ambiguous for legal reasons? I do not know the answers to any of these questions, but I do know that I did not store my Vimto Mini Fizzy Pencils outside in a pot of boiling water, so I'm fairly confident I've done my part.

All of our Vimto squash drinks are suitable for Vegetarians, due to the recent addition of Vitamin D they are not suitable for Vegans. However, all of our other Vimto drinks variants, including fizzy and still ready to drink ranges, are suitable for vegetarians and Vegans. Basically, the "mini fizzy pencils" seem to be composed mainly of sugar (yay!), with practically no fat content. In other words, it's precisely what one would expect from this sort of candy. Oh, and if you haven't figured it out yet, a full bag is about 900 Calories.The ingredients list confirms the product's abundance of sugar. It's by no means a short list, but it does not contain any startling entries, except perhaps the vague "Vimto Flavouring" (and although I understand its purpose, "beef gelatine" just sounds wrong here). And unless I'm mistaken, none of the ingredients would account for the "fizzy" in the treat's name. Or maybe I just don't know what "fizzy" means (or, for that matter, "pencils"). Founded more than a century ago with the name ‘Vimtonic’, John Joel Nichols created the iconic flavour we all know and love. Born as a herbal tonic full of vim and vigour, the spiced fruity flavour was a hit and the exact recipe is still a secret to many today! Over time, the drink became known as Vimto and a wider range of products were added to their range. From flavour variations to, more recently, outrageously delicious sweets! Today, the Vimto name is the star in the crown of Nichols PLC, a company founded by the man behind Vimto itself! Bringing the delicious Vimto flavour to everyone, our range of share bags gives you plenty of options that will please the whole family. With choices including Vimto Mini Jelly Beans 160g, Juicy Mix Ups 130g and Fizzy Mallows 100g, there are treats for every family! The Jelly Beans coming in original, strawberry and cherry flavour and the Vimto Juicy Mix Ups include Vimto flavoured gummy favourites – and a secret flavour! lt;p>For allergens, including cereals containing gluten, see ingredients in&nbsp;<strong>BOLD</strong></p>

Within their range of sweets, Vimto have some innovative and exciting lines that shoppers are bound to love. Their range is so diverse that there are favourites for the whole family no matter their preference! Adding the beloved berry flavour to a different treat for every occasion, Vimto sweets are a great way to attract the interest of shoppers of all ages. A small range of our Vimto confectionery products do contain animal derivatives, and therefore may be unsuitable for vegetarians and vegan diets, these include: Anyhow, the text is nice and clear, even if the surrounding box is a tad oversized (it reminds me of people who've lost a significant amount of weight and then pose in their "fat pants"). Or maybe it's intentional and meant to provide a small area for doodling, reinforcing the "pencil" theme (since the product appearance does nothing in that regard). I left mine blank, just in case.

It follows the European tradition of providing values based upon 100g rather than a recommended serving size, which allows for easy comparison between different products.
