Crazy Sours Skittles Giants (Sainsburys) By @SpectreUK

Crazy Sours Skittles Giants


I've tried Skittles Giants before and rather enjoyed them. These Crazy Sours Skittles Giants are the same three times larger than regular Skittles, but sour in flavour. Hence the name, I guess. It states "Share the rainbow taste the rainbow" on the packet, and as the bag was pretty high in calories, I opted to share them with Cinabar whilst watching TV on Saturday night. The packet also stated, "Same crunchy shell bigger soft centre" which I'm keen on too, as alternative sweet Tutti Frutti can be pretty hard on my old teeth.

There are five flavours of Crazy Sours Skittles Giants; sour pineapple which was yellow, sour raspberry was pink, sour cherry was purple (I hate cherries, why could it not have been blackcurrant?), sour mandarin was orange, and finally sour apple was green. As you can see from the "Skittles Distribution Chart", there were quite a few of each flavour, so we shared them out as evenly as possible.

I thought the yellow pineapple had a really good pineapple flavour, being very fruity and had the sourness into the aftertaste. I thought the pineapple was reminiscent of the old Fruit Salad sweets I loved as a child. Pink raspberry was quite sharp in raspberry flavour, again was very fruity, and with the sourness at the end of the flavour. Orange mandarin did really taste of mandarin (which is also my favourite jelly). However the mandarin wasn't very sour, but still was very fruity. It had a soft fruit flavour to it. Green apple was very much apple in flavour. Not particularly sour at first, but it became sourer. The Purple Cherry flavour had a dark cherry flavour to it, in fact very cherry indeed. It had a sweetness that made it quire nice and was face twisting sour at the end.

My favourite flavour was pineapple. I thought the most face twisting sour was the apple at the back of the flavour. And the Mandarin just made me want to eat orange coloured jelly again. Still all very nice indeed. I'd definitely have these Crazy Sours Skittles Giants again.
