New Junk Fud and You!

 In this episode of Junk Fud And You I talk about the balancing act that all candy companies have to achieve, do you make your candy durable or do you make it delicious.

Junk Fud and You - Do Candy Companies Change Their Candy?

 People often ask me if the candies they had as a kid are the same as now, the simple answer is no.

I Sometimes Eat The Same Candy Twice

 Today I talk about the ways some stores trick me into reviewing the same candy twice.

So What Is Extreme?

 Is the word "extreme" (and other words like it) just a marketing tool, or is there a flavour called extreme?

So, What Flavour is a Rainbow (or a Unicorn)?

 Today I look at the super trendy flavour (actually two flavours) that has kind of confused me for the last little while, Rainbow.

Is Red Licorice, Licorice?

 Today I debate the age old question, is red licorice actually licorice?

I Eat A Crispy Crunch Again

In this episode of In Hindsight I look again at the Crispy Crunch bar. This bar not only has some amazing childhood memories for me, but it's also the reason I don't love Butterfinger bars.

Make sure to follow me on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook and let me know if you like Butterfingers.

If enough of you follow me on Patreon I promise to do my best to love Butterfinger bars.

Chris, How Do I Review That?!!

 

Some treats don't come with instructions, and I have no idea what I'm doing at the best of times. The first plan with this blog post was to highlight a few of the treats that I've picked up lately where I had no idea how to eat them. It's funny because occasionally I'll post pictures of these treats on social media and explain that I have no idea how to review these treats. The most common "smart" answer I get is "eat them". Sometimes that's not as easy as it appears.

Some treats require a certain amount of interactivity to eat them. For people from North America the best suggestion I can say is take a package of Lik-M-Aid and imagine what it might be like if you've never seen it before and couldn't read the language on the package. Would you be able to figure out that you're supposed to open the envelopes from the top, take out the sticks, and then use the candy stick and a candy paddle to take out all the sugar flavour? Also think about fortune cookies, could you explain to someone why there's a piece of paper in that cookie, particularly if they couldn't read the fortune?

So I decided to write a blog post to explain that sometimes I don't really know how to eat certain candies. Then I realized that maybe I should start video taping my first attempts at eating candy that I just don't understand, make a series on my YouTube channel all about this regular struggle that I have. I invite those who actually know what I'm supposed to do to comment, but I imagine that there will also be those who think I'm over thinking these problems. To them I say I probably am, but it's fun that way.

So make sure to follow me on YouTube to watch me really try hard to figure out weird candy. I'll also be posting reviews of each of these treats too. Here's the first episode, so enjoy watching me get very confused about weird candy concepts:

The Questions I Get Part 1

I always enjoy talking to people about candy, and I can assure you that once anyone finds out that I do a website all about candy they have questions. While I do always enjoy these conversations, there are a few questions that come up again and again. I've decided to answer these questions here, most certainly not for the first time. I'm also pretty sure it's not the last time I'll hear these questions either.

This Video Will Make You Feel Regular... or plain... or original

 I've always wondered how candy companies define the words "regular, plain or original". I feel like every treat has its own idea of what this should mean. While I have a few ideas about how some snacks label their basic treat, there are always a few weird ones that don't fit into the mold.

What I Don't Like In This Episode of Junk Fud and You
