Whoppers (Malt candy)

OFFICIAL SNACK REPORT
Sanctioned By WASAW Snack Committee

Reviewed By: Sir Snackalot

Location: CVS

OFFICIAL NAME OF SNACK:
Whoppers


PRICE: ??

WEIGHT: 1.75 oz.

DESCRIPTION OF SNACK:
Chocolate Covered Malted Milk Balls

SNACK LOOKS LIKE: Pokie's testicles

SSI RATING (SNACK SATISFACTION INDEX - 1-10): 7

 

UPSIDE:

Really good at first. Just keep popping them into your mouth as soon as the last one melts away.

DOWNSIDE:

After eating about 15 of these Sir Snackalot's stomach went sour and Sir Snackalot was in desperate need of water.

1ST 4 INGREDIENTS:

Sugar
Partially hydrogenated palm kernel oil
Corn syrup
Malted milk

LAST 4 INGREDIENTS:

Tapioca dextrin
Salt
Maltodextrin
Xanthan gum

PACKAGING:

Like Joyva Joys (see Sir Snackalot's review) these bad boys have been around forever. Unlike Joys, they've been able to adapt to a more contemporary packaging and I give them kudos for this!

DO I RECOMMEND YOU TRY THIS YOURSELF? (YES/NO - EXPLAIN):

Yes, it's a classic.

HOW CAN THIS PRODUCT BE IMPROVED?

When compared to the no name Malted Balls you can get at your finer candy store, Whoppers really needs to improve on the chocolate coating. You know how Oreo has "double stuff", Whoppers should have "double dunk" -- two thick coats of chocolate. The chocolate is actually so thin you can see striations of the malted balls underneath (see above for testicle reference).

IN THREE WORDS OR LESS, SUMMARIZE YOUR EXPERIENCE:

As you'd expect.
