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
