UPSIDE::

I must commend Anabelle’s for trying the line extension. We at WASAW know what it’s like to take an original, give it a creative spin and then force feed it to America. We all used to do direct mail, and if you can put a spin on… “If you have the winning number, then we’ll say: SIR SNACKALOT YOU HAVE JUST WON THE GRAND PRIZE, A PEANUT!”…then you can appreciate thinking outside the box while being crammed in it!

DOWNSIDE:

This was a first – it was soooo bad, I couldn’t finish it. I was hungry and really tried my best. I took one bite and it was flat horrible. I took a second bite and started to gag. The rest found the receptacle. This candy is some mad-scientist’s experiment gone wrong. They might as well come out with the Nutmeg and Cayenne Pepper Abba-Zaba, it couldn’t be worse. You can now write WASAW a thank you note for not having to try this yourself.

PACKAGING:

Consistent with the original, just a variation in color. The sour apple green is very eye-catching. I wasn’t even looking for this but it popped out in the dairy section, next to the eggs. Odd placement, but if “Where’s Waldo” were to carry these around, you’d always know where he is. Not sure what the deal is with the red apple being associated with “sour apple.”  It’s false advertising. Everyone knows the yellow apple is the sour one!

DO YOU RECOMMEND THIS SNACK? (YES/NO - EXPLAIN):

No. A guy was once asked what’s the best golf movie ever? To which he replied: Caddyshack. The next question the guy was asked is what’s the worse golf movie ever? To which he replied: Caddyshack II. Abba-Zaba Sour Apple = Caddyshack II.


DO YOU KNOW THE WAY TO SAN JOSE?

If they’ve got snacks there, I can find it.
