Hallowe'en candy review

I have been a big fan of Mike and Ike's (particularly Hot Tamales cinnamon candy) ever since I discovered them on our California road trip waaaaaaaay back in 2004. Sometimes they pop up over here, and sometimes even the weird special edition versions of the candy are available. 

As it's Hallowe'en, I thought I'd review a seasonal box of them I bought recently!


There are three different flavours in ghastly looking colours in the packet.


And the flavours are...


Unusually, I'd rank the grape the second best flavour in this packet. (Unusually, because 'Jolly Joes', the grape flavour Mike and Ikes, are one of my favourite flavours.) It's the sour orange scream that's the treat here.

Meanwhile the sour wicked watermelon is definitely a Hallowe'en trick, not a treat. They are VILE! I ate one and binned the rest of them.
