sixlets

my current tweet/facebook status:

"just discovered what was missing in my 24 years of life: sixlets. http://www.oldtimecandy.com/sixlets.htm"

pretty much, this is good stuff. apparently, sixlets are nostalgic for people, but i don't think i've ever had them before today! my one co-worker thinks sixlets are better than M&Ms. i'm going to have to test each one for quality of chocolate flavor and satisfyingness. i think that i will be a more un-biased judge, seeing as i have no nostalgic obligation to the sixlets but i'm also very open to new experiences of chocolate.


so far, the sixlets are crunchier, so the crunch is satisfying, but i'm not so sure about the flavor. i think that the flavor of the sixlets could use a little more chocolate and a little less candy shell flavor. and they definitely taste different depending on the color of shell you choose to eat. the orange ones definitely have an orange flavor. again, i'm not sure it this is a good thing. it does add more variety, if you're into that. me, i'm a purist.

in summary:

sixlets

  • satisfying crunch
  • variety of flavors
  • less chocolatey
M&Ms


  • less crunchy
  • more chocolatey
  • consistent, dependable flavor
  • Abby's choice
