Salmiakki - chocolate with liquorice

Expectation:
I like chocolate, I think Fazer produces good chocolate and I also like liquorice. This should be good!


First impression:
The boxes that Fazer makes are good. This one is alot more boring than your average Fazer box, and it looks well... old style. Like someone has tried to make it cool, but it is not.

Wrapping: 3


How does it look?
The chocolate looks ok, but it does not really make me eager to eat one right away.

Appearance: 3



Is it yum-yum?
Hmmm.... I liked it and didn't like it. I like the chocolate, I like the liquorice, but they just didn't combine as well as I wanted.

Taste: 3


Did I need one more?
I did try one more, and I will probably have some more later since I've opened the box, but this just didn't keep the class of other fazer chocolate.

Frequency: 3


Does it cost your shirt?
The price isn't bad and you may find yourself picking this one up at the airport to take advantage of their "buy 2 get 1 for free!" campaigns. In that case it is worth the effort if you think this combination can be for you.

Value for money: 3


Final statement:
It's not bad, but I have other I prefer.

Total score: 15/30

Gold coin - please Sir may I NOT have another

Expectation:
I got the feeling of poor chocolate like in christmas calenders or that kids get on halloween and it does not taste anything. Are the gold coins going to change what I think of this kind?


First impression:
The wrapping is not bad, and kis will love it. It looks like a coin! and it is made of chocolate! They will ask you why not all coins are like this.

Wrapping: 4


How does it look?
Here I start with my negativism. Just looking at the chocolate makes me regret tasting it.

Appearance: 2



Is it yum-yum?
No. If you are like me you will know what it tastes. It taste quite bad. I would rather have a carrot.

Taste: 2


Did I need one more?
No, I do not want to have one more ever again.

Frequency: 1


Does it cost your shirt?
It cost a bit when you compare it to other similar size chocolate. I could have buyed some good chocolate for this price.

Value for money: 1


Final statement:
Oliver Twist did not have enough money or food... I have stolen his line, changed it and I say: Please Sir, may I not have another.

Total score: 10/30

Crispo - crispy and good

Expectation:
It is a bit like cheating when you are testing a chocolate you have tested before. I know this will be good, not among the best, but good, value for money and yes... I will buy it again.


First impression:
The wrapping is quite standard, and I just do not like the colors and such. Actually that kept me from tasting this when it first came out.

Wrapping: 3


How does it look?
It looks quite good (but then again I know what it taste). Good chocolate and you are eager to find out if it is as crispy as you expect.

Appearance: 4



Is it yum-yum?
I like this one. It is not special in any way, but it is still good enough that you will think... mmm... I remember I liked that one.

Taste: 4


Did I need one more?
Again, it is quite good and I like it. I had one more bite right away, and more later that evening watching a film. I will probably finish this one soon. But do not be surprised if it goes a bit before you buy it again.

Frequency: 4


Does it cost your shirt?
It was not bad at all. Standard price for this size of chocolate here in Norway. So value for money ain't bad.

Value for money: 4


Final statement:
I like it, you will like it, but non of us will think it is the best in the world. However we will both try it again.

Total score: 19/30

Lion pop choc - kittens for everyone

Expectation:
I do like the original Lion chocolate bar and similar products, so I got high expectations for this product from Nestle.


First impression:
The wrapping is quite nice, at least better than average. You can close the bag and eat it later (if it is really good you would not need to)

Wrapping: 4


How does it look?
The small kittens (this ain't no lion!) doesn't look too tempting. The bag is full of small round chocolate pieces, each piece contains biscuit and caramel

Appearance: 3



Is it yum-yum?
Mmm. Yes, this is a good combination. Not too much caramel, and good biscuit. Absolute something you can eat

Taste: 4


Did I need one more?
Our guest loved them. 5 minutes and we where empty. We all loved them but I will not buy them too often.

Frequency: 4


Does it cost your shirt?
I was quite expensive, but if this kind of chocolate is what you want, then buy it.

Value for money: 3


Final statement:
Small kittens for everyone!

Total score: 18/30

Serenade - latvian effort

Expectation:
Latvian? I am not sure... I am biased and my expectations are not high.


First impression:
Very boring. Looks like something you could have gotten at an old circus.

Wrapping: 2


How does it look?
It looks really boring as well. So in that way it keeps track with the wrapping. Where is the chocolate smell?

Appearance: 2



Is it yum-yum?
This chocolate continues on the boring side. It's not awfull and you will manage to eat it, but if I where alone in the room it would have been thrown into the garbage.

Taste: 2


Did I need one more?
I did not need the first one and I certainly do not need one more.

Frequency: 1


Does it cost your shirt?
Not bad price as it is Latvian. So price vice it is not going to make you go bankrupt, but as value it is not up with the rest.

Value for money: 2


Final statement:
Latvian - keeping up with tradition that eastern european chocolate is not what I fancy.

Total score: 9/30
