Mint & Orange After Eights: A Snacking Adventure!
Hey there, fellow snack aficionados! Have you heard the latest buzz about the new Mint and Orange After Eights? Now, before you scroll away, let’s take a moment to dive into this seasonal treat—because who doesn’t love a good ol’ chocolatey adventure?
First Impressions: A Daring Duo
When I first spotted these little beauties, I’ll admit, my imagination ran wild. Drinking orange juice right after brushing your teeth? Not exactly the most harmonious combination, right? It’s the kind of pairing that makes you go, “Um, yikes!” But hey, we snack influencers are here to try the unexpected. So, like any curious taste tester, I took the plunge and snagged a box.
The Price Tag
Let’s chat about that price point for a sec. These are a tad pricier than your everyday After Eights and, spoiler alert, the box is a bit smaller. But who can resist the allure of limited edition snacks? It’s like ordering from the magical secret menu at your favourite fast-food joint!
The Taste Test: A Minty Surprise
Now, onto the most exciting part—taste! With a name like Mint and Orange, I expected a serious tug-of-war between flavours. But lo and behold, the orange took charge right away! The mint? Oh, it’s there, but it plays a shy, sidekick role.
- Flavour Profile:
- Orange: Bright, zesty, and frankly, dominant.
- Mint: Just a whisper that leaves a refreshing aftertaste.
It’s as if the orange said, “Step aside, mint! It’s my time to shine!” And you know what? It kind of works. Sure, it’s not the most traditional combination, but in a world where snacks are constantly pushing boundaries, why not have a little fun?
