Fazermint - a hit


Expectation:
This is one of my favourite chocolate and I'll usual buy a box when I'm out travelling. I got high expectations for this chocolate, and I also thinks that our test panel will like it (ff you like mint that is)


First impression:
Each chocolate piece is wrapped in a a sliver wrapping. All the pieces is stored in a nice box that you can open and close.

Wrapping: 4


How does it look?
The pices is really tempting and you can smell the sweet mint flavour.

Appearance
: 4



Is it yum-yum?
the dark chocolate piece with mint filling is delicious. Not to strong mint, just perfect.

Taste
: 5


Did I need one more?
I can eat lots of this. And then the next day. Next week. Next month. Next year. Almost a 6.

Frequency
: 5


Does it cost your shirt?
It's not the cheapes chocolate, but it is quite manageable. And since it is soo good, this a keeper.

Value for money: 5


Final statement:
A top chocolate, a hit.

Total score: 23/30

Ljesnjak - Are you supprised?


Expectation:
Eastern European chocolate. These isn't my favourite so expectation is low. But maybe I'll be surprised?


First impression:
The wrapping is boring and lower than avergae. I would probable not pick this chocolate from the shop. It gets a bonus point for silver vacuum wrapping of the chocolate.

Wrapping: 3


How does it look?
It looks like a regular chocolate and smells a bit strange. It's a very weak 3.

Appearance: 3



Is it yum-yum?
IT is a sweet chocolate with nut filling. IT doesn't taste too much and is rather disappointing.

Taste: 2


Did I need one more?
It's just not that special and does not give you that good feeling. It is something that I can eat if I'm served, but I'll never going to buy it.

Frequency: 2


Does it cost your shirt?
It isn't that expensive and I'll bet is a ok chocolate for most people.

Value for money: 3


Final statement:
Unfortunate. Another lower-than-average chocolate from eastern Europe

Total score: 13/30

Center Strawberry, Lemon and Chilly

Expectation:
Just after Center won the duel (Smil was defeated), I found this version of the chocolate in the shop. Strawberry chocolate has potential. Don't think I have ever eaten a good lemon chocolate. And Chilly? This can be a surprise or a trip down under.


First impression:
The wrapping is quite nice and colorful. It is sealed and overall good quality.

Wrapping: 4


How does it look?

The chocolate smells wonderful (a little fruity flavor) and I just want to eat one right away. It can easily be shared with your friend, and it just looks tempting. The filling looks like caramel, no red goofy filling with small chilli seeds (phew)

Appearance: 5






Is
it yum-yum?
The first taste is definitive strawberry, the I can taste the lemon. Mmm. Quite good. But where is the chilli? Oh, there it is. You'll need to wait a few seconds for the chilly to kick in. It isn't strong, and after a couple you can't even taste it (no, no ,no, thats not because it is THAT strong). This is clearly a chocolate you do or do not like.

Taste: 4


Did I need one more?
I needed several just to make my mind on how good it was. And I could easly eat a few more. I like the original Center, and I like this one

Frequency: 4


Does it cost your shirt?
Mine was quite expensive (I was in an expensive shop), but I belive it has the same pricetag as the original Center. Maybe a few bucks more.

Price: 3


Final statement:
This is a chocolate you like or hate. It has a nice first impression, and then there is that crucial moment when you'll try your first piece. If you like Center and new flavor, you'll probable love it. Else you'll never buy it again. I don't think this will be a success, and it will disappear from the market within months.

Total score: 20/30
Average score (round off): 4
