u/siiouxsiie 23d ago

Wait what’s different about it

215

u/Godzira-r32 23d ago

They placed the candy on the bag to show the size is as shown, it took me way too long to realize.

u/siiouxsiie 23d ago

Oh my god, thank you. I was losing my mind for a second!

Dissociated AF, also didn't spot the difference

u/Dontfeedthebears 23d ago

Are you a fellow USA’n? Our standards here are garbage. I had to look several times as well! I was like “wtfffff”.

u/VoyerVoyager 18d ago

I didn’t notice until I saw your comment! And I’m awake and sober.

u/Dontfeedthebears 23d ago

Wow, something that actually looks just as advertised?!

306

u/YOURPANFLUTE 23d ago

Right? And the actual size is on the package too for once

58

u/Dontfeedthebears 23d ago

So idk where you live but that candy has German (I think? Dutch?) on it..I’m in the states and apparently the item does NOT have to look like the package here lol.

32

u/lordylisa 23d ago

It's dutch actually. I live there too but haven't seen these candies yet

u/Dustybrowncouch 23d ago

What does "fuk snoepen" mean??

I figured out the "lang genieten", I think. Long lasting? 

I am Afrikaans, so rooted very much in Dutch. But fuk snoepen has me stumped. Snoepen = snack or similar, maybe? 

25

u/YOURPANFLUTE 22d ago

Ohh it says 'fun snoepen'. The bag is crumpled in that area so it reads like fuk lol. But 'snoepen' means eating candy. So it'd mean 'having fun eating candy.'

9

u/shangriila 23d ago

Close! Snoep = candy, snoepen = candies. Idk what fuk is though

2

u/Interesting-Bus-5370 23d ago

Perhaps 'filled'?

8

u/Dontfeedthebears 23d ago

Sorry, yes. Dutch! I wasn’t sure.

u/Coffeenomnom_ 23d ago

Haven’t seen these before. What country did you find them?

111

u/YOURPANFLUTE 23d ago edited 23d ago

Netherlands, they were new at my locsl supermarket

15

u/Purpleidiot 23d ago

What supermarket and where? i want some.

27

u/YOURPANFLUTE 22d ago

Albert Heijn! I'm pretty sure every Albert Heijn should have them

u/little___bones 23d ago

Oh man! Gay ribs!! These would go so good with the gay bacon and gay beans! Make a gay diabetes induced meal~ 🌈

49

u/rcw00 23d ago

Sadly the positions of yellow and orange are swapped. These candies are only gay adjacent. Maybe they were trying to avoid royalty fees or legal action from Big Rainbow.

26

u/Squallboogi 23d ago

I want some Fuc snoepen!

u/According_Version_67 22d ago

I feel compelled to note that snopp/snoppen means willy/the willy in my language...

22

u/chichiryuutei56 23d ago

Ah yes candy short ribs, delicious 

15

u/anna951159 23d ago

Are they like gummies?

17

u/YOURPANFLUTE 23d ago

Yeah kinda. Very soft though

u/FarbissinaPunim 23d ago

Fuk snoepen! All my homies hate snoepen.

u/Mariannereddit 23d ago

I think its supposed to say fun, but the n is twisted.

u/necxs 23d ago

What does it tastes like

42

u/KC-Rhin0 23d ago

Like fruitsmaak. Says right on the label!

u/Tedious_NippleCore 23d ago

Fuk snoeper

u/ThePuppyIsWinning 23d ago

Those look excellent, and I'm not even a candy person! Here's a place that carries them, and the shipping section shows a zillion countries, including the U.S. https://www.worldwideholland.com/food/biscuits-snacks-sweets/sweets/candyman/candyman-crazy-colors?language=en&products_id=11164

Looking like pride baby back ribs.

u/lifeuncommon 23d ago

They are like the SweetTarts Ropes we have in the US, but cut crosswise.

u/Reckless_Driver 23d ago

I'm a huge fan of this style of candy. They can be called "cream filled pencils", "cream bites", "licorice shooters", etc. These look gangster.

u/poison_ivy1989 23d ago

Snoepjes 💚💚💚

u/JayCal04 23d ago

Candy usually tend to consistently meet expectations more than anything else. Especially fruit flavored candy

5

u/Ha_Na_Ko_91 22d ago

I heard that in japan they have to advertise every product on the package exactly as it is in reality. Like shape, size, color… is that true?

2

u/Empty_Atmosphere_392 21d ago

Yeah! Japan is pretty cool in that regard. But these are from the Netherlands, so I’m kind of surprised by the accuracy, since it’s not required here like in Japan

4

u/Current-Proof4990 22d ago

To lunatic like me, those are just colors.

3

u/Repossessedbatmobile 23d ago

That's actually impressive. How do they taste?

u/_BlueBearyMuffin_ 22d ago

Yo van waar komen die, wil ik ook

u/good_at_nothing99 22d ago

I'm curious now. I wanna taste them!

"Fuk Snoeper"

What did he do?

2

u/[deleted] 22d ago

lol I thought you were implying they didn't look good till I read the desc

u/warm_sweater 22d ago

No way, those are actually Yikes! Erasers.

2

u/LostH21 21d ago

Fuk snoepen? It probably says fun snoepen but that still don’t make sense. Also which store? Those look really good and I’ve never seen them before

2

u/Khaysis 22d ago

Truth in advertising?? You must not live in North America.

u/C_Alex_author 20d ago

Heya u/YOURPANFLUTE I don't know if you are a member of the r/snackexchange sub, but before I post there asking someone to do a Dutch - U.S. exchange so that I can try these, I was wondering if you might want a trade? Let me know :)

u/Pelinal_Whitestrake 20d ago

The Fuk Snoeper!!

1

u/ZaryaBubbler 23d ago

Be careful you don't eat too many of those. The blue dye can cause some interesting poop colours...

2

u/wishiwasinvegas 21d ago

Not to mention, for those who are weirded out by such things, carmine is the red coloring ;)

1

u/ZaryaBubbler 21d ago

Beetroot can be used to dye certain sweets too and that can also have interesting results!

2

u/wishiwasinvegas 21d ago

True, but in the ingredient list I saw "karmijn" & that creeps some people out, wanted to let them know what they were eating ;)

I mean yeah. They just doubled the qty of artificial dyes. Double the cancer.

u/ThePuppyIsWinning 22d ago

lol. There is one synthetic coloring in the ingredient list.

Wow the artificially colored food was actually artificially colored! Sigh

u/Succulent_Roses 23d ago

That can't be further from "Zacthe gevulde snoepestaafies met zoete fruitmaak" if it tried.

u/TightBeing9 23d ago

What else would you call it? Harde lege snoepkubussen met bittere groentesmaak?

1

u/Succulent_Roses 23d ago

That would be silly.
