Let me be honest — I bought this because of the cute, colorful box.
I absolutely looove opening boxes with this type of perforation. They produce the manliest of tearing sounds. Mmmmm….
Er… ok, back to the review. See the chocolate-coloured outer shell? I used my two front teeth to bite into this because based on years of eating similarly-shaped snacks, I’d assumed that this would have an easy-to-bite, crumbly texture.
How wrong was I. The shell was much, much harder to break, as compared to say, Pepperidge Farm Goldfish or Hello Panda Chocolate Biscuits — causing a slight shock to the system. Yes it sounds all too dramatic, but such is the excitingly dangerous life of a snack-tester.
The shell was very dry and brightly crunchy, and didn’t taste very chocolate-y. Though the texture did provide a contrast to the creamy banana filling, I’d prefer it slightly softer.
For the cream filling – if you have tried a banana milkshake before, a bad one that is, you pretty much know how this taste and smell like.
The pieces came in at least four different shapes – A fish-shaped one with straight tail and another with a concave tail, an octopus with four arms and another one with three. These shapes serve no other purpose than to entertain people like me.
I felt sick of the stuff after my fifth piece. I wasn’t sure whether it was due to the fact that I’d eaten too much MiniSnacks earlier.
Update: I tried eating this again on empty stomach but didn’t manage to finish more than two pieces.
