Alright, here we go, yet another sour candy review (back sooner than I expected)! I went Aldi and found a sour candy I've never tried, so, here we go!

(If you have any suggestions on how I can improve my format, LMK! All reviews are hand-written by me as I go through the tasting process. NO AI IS USED in the process, these are all my own words and opinions).

🔴Openability: Nice! 8/10, pretty easy. Towards the edges of the package it was more difficult to open, but towards the center it's very very easy.

🔴Smell: Somewhat strong smell! Nice, smells sour! 👀 (Looking forward to these!) Kind of exactly what I'd expect from a sour gummyworm, but does remind me of like, a fruity popsicle in smell? It's nice.

They feel very soft and look very nice! They're not sticky at all, but based on the physical consistency I don't think they're going to be very cut-able or be very friendly on the teeth...

🔴Cutability: 5/10. Not easy, but not as difficult as I expected from such a plush gummy!

🔴Toothability: Surprisingly-friendly toothability. Very soft and pleasant texture that's (shockingly) still easy to chew through. Not gnaw-able at all (which is good for tooth's sake). 7/10. Not bad. Tolerable for a cavitated mouth but not ixeal

👀Taste:

🍋🔴YELLOW/RED (LEMON/CHERRY)

Nice, a true sour! Red side is definitely cherry, yellow side is a little ambiguous but you can tell towards the end that it's meant to be lemon. It's OK in the sour department! SOUR RANK: 5/10 , juuuust enough to get a light mouth-pucker going, but nothing super crazy. It's pleasant! FLAVOR RANK: 6/10. But I think the texture is elevating the experience a lot.

🟣🍓PURPLE/PINK (GRAPE/STRAWBERRY)

Woah, yup. That's a grape. That's a grape flavor. This is a proper "berry" flavored gummy. Somehow it seems slightly less sour than the previous one? SOUR RANK is maybe 4.5/10. Flavor is not my thing, but I don't hate the strawberry side. It's kind of nice! The grape side has a light grape flavor at first, but the aftertaste is genuine proper grape. If you like grape candy you might like this! FLAVOR RANK: 5.5/10

🍊🟢ORANGE/GREEN (ORANGE/LIME)

OOOOHHH DAYUMMM That's a fuckin ORANGE!!! THATS AN ORANGE BRO it's like I'm eating a California Mandarin. Same sour level, same orange flavor, I literally cannot taste the lime at all (which kinda sucks because I love lime!!)

Ooohh, upon having the lime by itself? SOUR is 5.5/10, enough for a light pucker/wince and very very pleasant (FLAVOR 7/10). The orange though? Its just an orange lol. SOUR 4/10.

Overall flavor 5.5/10; The number is plummeted by the strength of the orange 🥲. Its like eating an orange without the experience of... the weird texture. (You know the texture of an orange; the inner thin white skin and all that...) It's literally just orange flavor.

💥Overall Sour: 5/10– Enough for a light pucker on most flavors, and a great choice for a moderate/average sour-lover.

This (unlike some sour candies which make me think "does this even deserve to be called a sour candy...?") is definitely undoubtedly an actual sour candy.

The more serious sourheads of this subreddit might say it's OK, and that it could definitely be more sour, but to the average palette this is undeniably a sour candy.

💥Overall Flavor: 6/10. I think it could be better; the flavor balance could have been improved. The lime is overtaken completely by the orange, and the strawberry is overshadowed by the grape. A more balanced approach would have been nice (but I'm definitely biased because lime is my favorite flavor of all time, and grape is one of my least favorites haha)

💥Overall Ranking: 6/10.💥 Good! Might consider it again. I wasn't thrilled by any of them necessarily, I think all of them are "good!". But are any of them "amazing!!"? Nah not really.

The texture was really surprisingly pleasant. I kind of expected a tooth-hurty experience but it wasn't all that bad! It feels very comfortable to chew, and it's not sticky to touch, either.

You can comfortably pick up the worms and eat them while doing work; you don't need to pause and wash your hands if you're at your desk and want a little sourness. (Though you should prolly have a napkin to catch the minimal amount of sour dust lol. It doesn't let off a lot of sour crystals compared to many sour candies, but still better not to get that on a computer lol)

Ok! I think that's all I have to say about this candy. It's a good— not perfect– sour candy option that I could comfortably reccomend to someone who likes a medium level sour.

K bye

🗣💬 Good afternoon, I'm back with another sour review. I have high hopes for this because I do like sweet tarts ropes because of their texture; very addictive. And these have the same concept, with the gummy outside soft inside. So we will see!

❓️Openability: OOOHHH easy open, alright, off to a good start.

❓️Smell: They don't smell too strong; I have to put my nose to the package, but I can smell kind of a lime-y smell

❓️Cutability: Wow, our first 10/10. Really good. Not too much pressure needed, cut pretty cleanly, these should be OK on my teeth then, right?

❓️Toothability: They're so small they're kind of hard to gage the toothability of, but it's pretty nice. Not hurting my teeth, not hard to chew. They're not even really... gummy... though. Which is interesting. They have a very consistent "soft" texture throughout.

They're not the texture I was hoping for, but I guess that's alright since they don't hurt my teeth!

❓️Taste:

🟠ORANGE: Not bad. They're so small that I kind of have to eat a lot of them to tell though. A little sour but not impressively. 3/10 sour maybe. A real intense sourhead will say "this is not sour".

Tastes alright, especially for an orange candy. The citrus-like flavor is really subtle & the blackberry energy is more obvious (though incomparable to a real blackberry...). Flavor 4/10. Not good, but not bad either.

🔴RED. Pretty alright. The berries is obvious. It's kind of a bummer that the outside flavor seems really subtle so far; I'd expect this flavor to mostly be strawberry with a pinch of the other flavors, but it feels like the opposite. (Same case for the Orange).

The flavors are really fighting each other and not working together so much. Sour 2/10, flavor 4/10. Once again, it's OK

🟡YELLOW- Ok PHEW, This one ACTUALLY tastes like lemon. Awesome! Sourness is extremely subtle though, which is a letdown for a lemon flavor (which I'd expect to be the sourest of the batch).

Either I'm used to the "sourness" by now, or this flavor is the least sour of all; 1.5/10 sour, 4.1/10 flavor. These candies so far are really just "okay".

🟢GREEN- Before I've even tasted this, lemme just say: I'm really disappointed that these are Apple and not lime lol. I expected lime. I guess the limey smell that hit me when I opened and smelled the bag was the lemon flavor. But man. Anyway: Wait what the fuck haha this does taste like Iike lime. Like a lime skittles. Are these mislabeled!? What!? Lol??

Wait I like these, these are tasty but they're also "cute" looking. Like, that's weird to say and normally I'm not the kind of guy to call a food "cute" but like. They're like little plant cells dude. The green ones are the best haha. 3/10 sour, 5.8/10 flavor (10/10 aesthetics)

❓️Sour: 2.8/10 It's not enough to make your mouth pucker (which I start at a 4.5/10), and somehow, eating a whole handful of them makes them feel even less sour than eating them one by one. They're just not really sour 🥲 The cashier who checked me out said "oooh, these look pretty sour". I'm sorry to report ma'am, but they're not :,/

❓️Flavor: 4.5/10 flavor. It was really just "okay". I can't call these a great candy but they are "good" if there's nothing else around.

The texture is definitely gonna hurt my stomach later lol, I can just tell. It makes sense that the flavors are just an amalgam of BS, since the bag literally says "The serving is a little handfull, In this case, 27 pieces". Like, yeah, all the flavors are gonna mishmash together when you pop that handful in your mouth anyway. Makes sense that the candies themselves wouldn't have an emphasis on individual flavor experience.

❓️🤔❓️ Overall: 5/10. OK. Would probably not buy again because I think it's gonna hurt my stomach lol, but would not reject if offered. I do like that it's easy on my teeth and on my hands to open the packaging 😎

They're kinda yummy by the handful, but as a sour candy they're underwhelming 🥲

K. That's all.

Thanks bye

PS- Should I keep the drawn cover page, or does it feel totally unecessary? Dunno. Might keep it, might not. Still thinking about it. (At the very least I might redraw it)

PPS- I should have added a coin for scale. Noted for future reference

EDIT: I do NOT use AI in my reviews. I write them as I eat and pretty much write as if I'm just talking aloud. I will reconsider my format in the future (I just removed 85% of the emojis: I put them in there thinking it would help break up the paragraphs). I will consider video reviews in the future instead

I have one indoor basil plant that this is not happening to.

Info: Outdoors, several hours of sun per day.

The has drainage & 2 resident earthworms, watering daily as a baby & now watering every other day as the top soil gets dry– it tends to wilt and be sad with anything less. It's been perky and beautiful, up until these wrinkly leaves showed up.

I try to water during the day or afternoon, but sometimes water at night. The time of day I water is not consistent.

The top soil was dry today when I checked it, and as such, I watered it.

My spider bro Rodney has been around since before I even new she was a spider sis (hence her name Rodney) but she grew gravid, laid her eggs, and has been holding them in her jaws for a week.

But today, she dropped them on the floor! Is this normal?? Or are they not going to develop? What's up with this?

She does look pretty skinny right now, I wonder if she prioritized eating over holding her children, and that's why she dropped them. But it's so strange. I expected her to carry them to term. Rodney even has a husband in a small web about a foot above hers (he's been diligently keeping watch since a little bit before she laid her eggs)

Is she OK? Will the eggs hatch or are they done for?

Thinking about taking 1 of them and just raising it indoors at this point 😮‍💨💔

Info: Outdoors, sun has been pretty bright lately (high UV index), gets several hours of sun per day.

The large pot has drainage & 2 resident earthworms, watering daily as a baby & now watering every other day as the top soil gets dry– it tends to wilt and be sad with anything less 😅

The singular basils were transferred from the large pot into smaller ones (approx. last week). Some died from the transfer but these ones are holding strong & seem to have succeeded.

I try to water during the day, trying not to let the water touch the leaves (as to not make them burn).

🗣💬 ALRIGHT FELLAS, I'm back with another sour candy review. I did NOT expect to do another so soon HOWEVER, this arrived in the mail today, so I am back 👍

❓️Openability: 10/10 SO EASY. Mightve been the easiest sour candy package I have EVER opened. Literally awesome.

❓️Smell: Smells.. natural! Got a whiff similar to Fruit By The Foot at first, but it– wow. Giving it a proper sniff it's really unlike any sour candy I've ever smelled. Lots of natural ingredients like potato starch & fruit purees likely contributing to the "natural" smell.

❓️Cutability: er... 3/10. I suspect it might have poor toothability.... Texture is similar to some ~Natural~ melatonin gummies I've had before, so I'm not anticipating I'll enjoy the texture, but thats not to say I'll *dislike* it.

❓️Toothability: Oooohhh. No. No. Sticks to teeth immidiately. It doesn't, like, *hurt*? But it definitely sticks to the teeth. It's kinda unpleasant to chew in my personal experience.

❓️Taste: WOW. SOUR. They're not kidding when they call themselves sour boys! What number is this? 26? Is that 26/100? (No way...) It's impressively sour!

Lemme try another. (Ughhh it's sticking to my teeth! Ugh!) Wait these are yummyyy, whattt. The sourness is a little inconsistent? I got one that was much sourer than the others. But it's ALWAYS sour, ALWAYS ☝️above☝️ 5/10 sour, CONSISTENTLY. Even if it varies *slightly* it's never "not sour".

I feel as though, if I eat many more of these, my tongue will be shredded! But I like the flavor. It's NOT very mouth-puckering to be honest... but it's very tongue-shredding lol.

Maaaan that's dangerous; I could keep popping these in my mouth forever, hahahahaha. I'm gonna put them away. Their shape is definitely a 10/10. Maybe I should add a category for that?

❓️Sour: 7/10

Sourness just ALMOST on-par with Sour Punch, Sour Strips. A satisfying sour experience for sure!!

❓️Flavor:

💥*Biased* impression? 😐3/10😐. I love watermelon. I love coconut. I don't taste either, *especially* not coconut. There's NONE. If someone told me this was a strawberry candy I'd believe them. I was really lookin forward to that beautiful watermelon or coconut flavor coming through and I just didn't taste it.

💥*Less biased* impression: If this was labeled a strawberry candy I would say 🎉7.1/10🎉; It's really solid!! Not my all time favorite but DEFINITELY one of the better ones I've had on my sour candy tasting experience.

❓️Overall: 6/10

"What!? But flavor and sour is 7/10! Why 6/10?" Toothability. It sucks. I don't like the chewing experience lol. Also no coconut! I feel scammed hahaha! (Not literally, I actually got a really good deal on these lol.)

Would I buy again? No. I would not.

But would I reccomend to others? Yeah sure, if you like gummy-style candy, I would totally reccomend. It's not a straight up gummy texture, but the shape & poppability of these little dudes is toooo addictive & seems like it would appeal to that audience (which I am not a part of admittedly).

Thanks for coming along for yet another ☆sour candy review☆

Bye

Whenever I try a new sour candy, as of the past year or so, I've written a review on it. Just for fun. I don't usually publish them, but I figured why not start.

Here is my review of sour patch kids chews:

💥RANKING IS BASED ON:

❔️Openability. How easy the package is to open. I have a wrist injury so this is important to me.

❔️Cutability: How easy it is to cut into the candy with a seraded (but dull) knife.

❔️Toothability: Does it hurt sensitive teeth?

❔️Flavor: described and ranked out of 10

❔️Sourness: ranked out of 10

❔️Overall: Just my overall ranking of the candy.

Without further ado, here is my review:

❓️Openability:

7/10 not bad? Could be better.

oof... Upon opening, I already think the cutability and toothability of these is gonna be rough. Let's see...

❓️Cutability: Not... as bad as I was expecting? It's like a medium taffy. Not super hard, which is great. Will probably have decent toothability too. Similar to the bite sized airheads.

❓️Toothability: Oohh, good. Not bad. I mean, it's got a lot of citric acid in the middle, but it's not killing my cavity or anything. Doesn't get stuck to the teeth either.

❓️Smell: Smells good! Kind of lime-y to be honest.

❓️Flavor:

(Reviewed starting from blue and ending at red).

💥RED: Mmm, ok. Nice. Nice. Anyway. Erm. This one's kinda dissolving in my mouth lol, unlike the other flavors. This bitch sticks to my teeth unlike the other flavors. Why? Ok I'm gonnantry a 2nd one. ALRIGHTTT THE 2ND ONE WAS PROPER SOUR 🔥🔥🔥 6/10 sour! Great! Really pleasant surprise after all these disappointments.

💥ORANGE: Oooh, orange creamsicle, okayyy. OOOO, ACTUALLY SOUR, OKAYYYY. Like, not impressively so. 4.5/10 sour. But compared to yellow, green, and blue, it was pleasant ok? 5/10 flavor. It was "OK". It was nice but like, I think the outside lacking *any* sourness whatsoever drags these candies down like crazy.

💥YELLOW: Ok. Boring. Lemony, somehow without the sour. Tf? Did this one not have any sour powder in it? Lol.. Hold up lemme get a different one. Yup, that one actually had NO sour powder whatsoever. Hahaha. This second one is MUCH better. But still really mediocre. 4/10 flavor, 4/10 sour. Barely a pucker honestly, but I think it can just barely call itself a sour candy.

💥GREEN: ...Ok! Very mediocre lime flavor. If you've tasted 1 lime flavored candy, you've tasted this one. 5/10 flavor, 3.5/10 sour.

💥BLUE: Mmm, wow. The sweet portion is actually really quite nice. It's pleasant. It's a flavor I would expect in a gum, not in a chewy candy. Not super blue raspberry-y, I wouldn't reccomend to a blue raspberry fan. But it's pleasant! Not really a sour candy though.... 7.8/10 flavor. 2/10 sour.

**Flavor distribution is poor. There are only three (3) greens.**

Welp. I don't have many good things to say about this.

Why?

Even though the red was really nice on its 2nd taste, that's exactly the problem: I had to taste two.

And the quality between the two, including the texture and amount of sourness, was *VASTLY inconsistent.* This is.... not great, lol.

You can get anywhere between 1/10 sour, to 6/10 sour, on the same flavor. And that gamble just sucks when you're purchasing a "sour" candy.

❓️Flavor: 5/10.

Very generic flavors. Nothing bad, but nothing good either. They're just OK.

❓️Sour: 3.5/10.

The inconsistency hurts this candy a lot, but the ones I tried were NOT very sour (outside of that single 6/10 one). It can– *barely* but passibly— call itself a sour candy.

Would not purchase again. Might eat if purchased for me, though... I'm getting through this bag very slowly though, that's for sure.

❓️Overall ranking: 4/10.

Alright, thanks for reading 👍 I hope to post more of these in the future.

I have a large backlog of reviews (about 7 of them) featuring different sour candies that I hope to share eventually.

Hi, it's the EM Sandrone guy, lol. I appreciate the advice & discussion in my previous post!! I did what I could do Increase her attack.

I heard it's good at 2k-2.5k, but when I hit 2200, I thought "I'd like to have it higher", so I ended up with 2600+. I might end up with a lower ATK in the end, trying to increase my Crits.

WIP (Work In Progress) because I'd realllly like to increase her crit rate & crit damage! I'd like to refine her weapon, too.

But for now, I like how her ATK is looking 🎉

Waiting for fall classes to start in mid August (& waiting for my wrist dr appointment on the 17th...) Isn't there anything I can do...!? I might as well just go back to sleep... 😮‍💨💢 but I don't want to...!!!!

I'm sick of this! Why are my ears so cold anyway!? It makes them hurt way more! I hate the humidity and cold! And none of my braces & no amount of icing is helping my wrist either!! Grrr!!!!!

I've looked at figure collecting websites,

looked at every Snow Miku figure I can find,

I've looked up life sized statues of Miku, thinking it must've been a promotional item and not one sold in stores

I thought it came in a box and was an unboxing video of the figure. I think I saw it sometime around 2019, but it was not a newly released figure at the time I saw the video.

I don't think we're gonna find it, but I figured I'd throw my hat into the ring just in case someone knows what I'm talking about.

Thanks so much.

EDIT TO ADD: If it helps, here's some additional info about the video.

The person unboxing the figure was a man. There was a white wall less than 5 feet behind him. I think there were cardboard boxes & other things, probably figures; it was slightly unkempt but not totally messy. The video wasn't short-form, it was a regular long-form video.

Bad quality bc it was drawn messily on a phone, but I wanted to draw my mood when playing co-op with my sibling lol. I was literally going *GRHRHRHRH FILL MY BAR FILL MY BAR FILL MY BAR FILL MY BAR 🔥🔥🔥🔥* hence this drawing lol.

Before I played this co-op match with my sibling, I actually had never ever filled the Will To Win bar, so he felt super strong and I was so excited hahaha.

Now, I only have pne singular pair of characters that can fill my Will To Win bar on my own account (Inefa+Aino), but it limits my team comps a lot to only have that one (1).

But my sibling has a lot of great characters, so it was awesome to have my bar filled and just go crazy! He's so cracked alongside my sibling's Nicole and Diluc, it was really fun.

I want to make a proper, nice, rendered piece of art featuring Lohen sometime!! He's really great.

(I made The Rooster edit & memes)

​

​

I'm soooooo sad that they nerfed his nose, dude. Literally so bummed. There is no reason, dude; He's not even a playable character, he doesn't need that same market appeal. We didn't heed him waifu-ified 😭💔.

​

​

While I feel strongly about this, I understand if others prefer his new design; I'm just sharing my personal preference & sadness 😔

​

​

Edts made: smaller eyes, weaker chin, longer nose

​

​

slightly modified hair (that's how I thought it was gonna be before we saw the model, ngl 💀) and oops, didn't mean to intensify the wrinkles too severely but I did lol. Oh well

​
