Crazy Schnuller

When I spotted these on the shelf, I knew that I had to try/review them immediately.


What captivates me about this strain of Haribo is that it's a variation on the widely known Schnuller. Your plain old run-of-the-mill Schnuller come in a mix of pineapple, cherry, green, and orange, with a dense/stretchy consistency. If they had to be a meat, they would be jerky, with all of the gnawing and tearing involved.

So what makes these CRAZY Schnuller so CRAZY, you might ask? Well, well, well! It turns out that each piece has some ingenious flavor-duo action going on -the Schnuller itself is divided, with either the handle or the nipple (Ahem, they are shaped like baby pacifiers, if you hadn't noticed) comprised of licorice-flavored jelly and the other half of a brighter flavored jelly. The yellow Schnuller are pineapple flavored, and the pink Schnuller sort of fruit-punchy flavored. I've forgotten what the orange taste like, so they must not have been that remarkable to begin with, right?

Don't get me wrong, I had my doubts too. When I contemplated the thought of these things actually going into my mouth, you know.. where my taste buds live and stuff, I wasn't too excited. I never expected myself to eat more than necessary to give an honest review.. but it turns out that these CRAZY Schnuller are actually well thought out.

If you choose to shove the whole shebang in your mouth at once - hey, that's totally okay. For some unexplicable reason, the licorice and fruit just taste good together, period.
If you eat your CRAZY Schnuller in sections, it also works out pretty great - you can get an unbiased taste of the fruity goodness.

The only downside to these is that they stick to your teeth like leeches to a white man's calves - so keep a toothbrush handy, will ya?
BUUTTTT for practicality's sake - you can wear them as rings. How cool is that?
