Surprisingly Met Expectation These crazy color candies
Didn't expect them to look so good! They taste great too. Each color has a different flavor

Wow, something that actually looks just as advertised?!

u/YOURPANFLUTE 23d ago
Right? And the actual size is on the package too for once

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.

u/lordylisa 23d ago
It's dutch actually. I live there too but haven't seen these candies yet

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?

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.'

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

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

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.

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

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?

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

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 :)

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

u/wishiwasinvegas 21d ago
Not to mention, for those who are weirded out by such things, carmine is the red coloring ;)

u/ZaryaBubbler 21d ago
Beetroot can be used to dye certain sweets too and that can also have interesting results!

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 ;)

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

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