Anyway, here I
am reviewing another Snack Surprise original box and this time it's come
courtesy of the Czech Republic. It’s another country I've travelled to, but not
one I particularly remember for its snacks. But how would it fare once I've
rated it and where will it score on the leader board? Read on to find out…
Sweet
- Sójové řezy –
“These soya rolls
are traditional bars in the Czech Republic.”
Absolutely
vile. I bit into it and didn't like the texture or the taste – not that it
really tasted like anything. It was unlike anything I've ever eaten before and
went straight in the bin.
- Perník – “A traditional cake usually made with
honey and flour.”
Nice enough. I
found it quite strange for it to have a blueberry filling but be coated in
chocolate. The cake texture was great, almost like a gingerbread.
Savoury
- Strážnické
potato chips garlic – “Crunchy
crisps with a delicious garlic flavour.”
The flavour was
far too overwhelming for me, but Alfie enjoyed these crisps. It’s a shame he
isn’t scoring…
Confectionery
- Deli – “A chocolate bar with a creamy pistachio
filling, and a thin layer of caramel.”
This was a bit
like a Milkyway with a caramel layer. The pistachio filling was light and
whipped – but the flavour wasn’t strong enough. It was quite sweet.
- Pedro – “A fruity bubble-gum that has lasted through
the generations.”
I’m not really
a gum person, but this was actually quite unpleasant. It was very rubbery, with
a strange taste – certainly not fruity. Give me Bubbaloo any day!
- Minonky – “You’ll love this delicious pairing of
rich milk chocolate coasted wafers, with a soft hazelnut filling.”
And I did love
them! You can’t really go wrong with wafers, and I’ve had plenty of similar
products in previous boxes. They’re basically all the same, and often score
highly.
- Ledové
Kaštany – “Traditional
Czech dark and rich chocolate bar, filled with cocoa-nut. It’s been a favourite
since 1966.”
A delicious
rich, truffle-like bar, which melted in the mouth.
- Milena – “A Czech favourite. This milk chocolate
bar comes with a kick – cream-filled with a rum essence.”
This bar was
okay. I loved the truffle texture of the filling, but the rum flavour was far
too strong!
- JoJo Vexta –
“Loved by kids and
adults alike. Sweet foam jelly sweets.”
Nothing to
dislike about these foamy cube-like sweets. However, I couldn’t decipher all of
the flavours – both by taste and by sticking the back of the packet into Google
Translate. Some were reminiscent of ‘generic fruit gummies’.
- Fidorka – “Round wafer coated in milk chocolate,
with a soft filling.”
Very nice and light.
So many layers of wafer made it quite flaky and messy to eat. I still enjoyed
it.
Drink
- Kofola – “A staple non-alcoholic drink in the
Czech Republic.”
To me, this
tasted like mixing cola and lemonade together… we’ve all been there! It just
didn’t taste fizzy, and the flatness made it taste horrible.
I have to say,
when I opened this box, I thought I was going to like it more than I actually
did. There were quite a few products I really didn’t like and therefore, didn’t
finish – four, in fact, only score one point. The Czech Republic Snack Surprise
box received a total of 23/33 and here’s where it ranks on the leader board:
- Netherlands – 94%
- Spain – 94%
- Italy – 92%
- Portugal – 89%
- Australia – 87%
- New Zealand – 87%
- Hungary – 84%
- Greece – 82%
- Sweden – 82%
- Turkey – 81%
- USA – 79%
- Germany – 75%
- Austria – 73%
- Czech Republic – 70%
- Bulgaria – 69%
So close to
finishing bottom – I never thought any box would be as bad as that Bulgarian
one. Quick spoiler alert – the next box comes courtesy of Romania.
