Welcome to Snack Chat, a place where I wax poetic about the candy, chips and other nosh-worthy delights I discover during my weekly grocery store mosey.
I never planned to review gummy candy in this newsletter because I figured anything I had to say would just be a bunch of preaching to the choir. But over the winter I shared a box of Sour Patch Kids Black Raspberry Coal with an avid SPK fan who’d never had them.
And then on Twitter I saw a public poll asking what the best brand of gummy candy is, with the majority voting for Haribo, leaving Albanese too overlooked for my comfort.
Then, a couple newcomers fell into my lap and here I am with a supercharged Snack Chat as a mea culpa for being too busy to crank an issue out in March.
The good news is that unlike February’s Snack Chat, there’s not a single thing I’ve written about that I wouldn’t happily munch on again. No need to plug your nose before diving in because all of the following gummy candies are good if not great; it’s just that there truly is one sour gummy worm to rule them all and if you didn’t know before, you will soon enough.
Happy snacking!
