Sun Maid Sour Raisin Snacks Watermelon Flavoured Golden Raisins (Ocado) By @SpectreUK

I remember having golden raisins from Sun Maid as an afternoon snack when I was very young. I used to like opening the box and pretty dumping the lot into my mouth. I'm not a heck of a lot different where my snacks are concerned these days, and have a habit of trying to fit as much of whatever I'm eating into my mouth at a time. I guess it is busyness at work that makes me do it, but also just the joy of feeling young for a short time when snacking.

I'm sure you can see from the photograph that these whole fruit Sour Raisins are Watermelon flavoured. Now I haven't eaten Sun Maid's golden raisins for many years, but I remember that they were plenty flavoursome on their own without adding another flavour to them. So I'm interested to see if watermelon complements the taste of golden raisins, or just battles against it.

The next photograph shows that on opening the bag there was plenty of golden raisins inside. On smell these Sun Maid Sour Raisin Snacks Watermelon Flavoured Golden Raisins are very strong on watermelon with a sharp sour edge. On taste these golden raisins didn't taste like any raisins I've had in the past. They are face-twistingly sour. They taste of watermelon with a faint flavour of bubblegum towards the back of the flavour, and wow are they sour!

They obviously have the texture of golden raisins, but unfortunately don't taste anything like them. Whilst I was eating these Sun Maid Sour Raisin Snacks Watermelon Flavoured Golden Raisins and may face was contorting with their sheer sourness, I couldn't help missing the original Golden Raisins I liked to eat by the box when I was a young lad. I guess I'm a little old fashioned in that respect!
