Blog Mods

Hey all,

Just a quick note today to mention that there are a few changes coming for the blog in the days ahead. Nothing to be alarmed about, just needed to shake things up a bit. Reviews will still be coming as usual, but I might be a bit behind on the feature blog posts for the next while. Thanks for the patience. And feel free to drop me a line at walkingthecandyaisle@gmail.com if you have any comments or just want to say hi!

The Big Bar Line Up - Wrapped

In case you missed it over the past month or so I posted an extensive look at some of the 'Big bar' chocolates available while walking the Candy Aisle here in Canada. I know it was more of a survey series but I liked all the pretty pictures and even just taking a closer look at them gave me a better understanding of what the various players are trying to achieve.

Does this mean I'll be eating more big bars down the line? I hope so. There are some really great offerings out there, especially from companies like Lindt and Ritter Sport. And hopefully that will translate here to the blog as well, in added reviews on some of the more interesting stuff.

For those who would like to check out the series of posts here they are in one handy dandy list:

Cadbury Dairy Milk

Hershey

Lindt

Ritter Sport

Dove and Godiva

Remainders

It seems like such a short list of posts but believe me it took a very long time to compile these lists with all the pictures involved.

I hope you do take the opportunity to go back and check out any of the posts you may have missed. They're fun looks at whats on the shelves right now. There's some great, and some definitely no so great looking stuff out there. Thanks for reading all :)

A British Invasion!

Just a quick note today to all of you lovely blog readers. I've got a treat coming here to the Candy Aisle. Starting tomorrow and for the foreseeable future I'm going to be running TWO review videos a week. One on Tuesday and one as always on Friday.

I'm kicking this off with a massive series of videos on British Chocolate and Candy. The Tuesday videos will, at least for the moment, be focused around a theme. I expect this British one to last around 3-4 months. After that we'll see what I can come up with... maybe movie theater candy? Let me know if you've got suggestions :)

The Friday videos will remain the same mix of old standards and new interesting stuff. I am dedicating myself to making it through all of the most popular chocolate bars on the Western market by the end of the year so there's sure to be some good stuff on the way. Once I'm through the more traditional stuff I think I'll be able to focus on bringing some of the more unusual fare to you. For now though I've added the second video every week partly to just mix things up a bit.

If the blog posts are what you're after note that I'm still planning on posting one straight blog a week, for the time being at least. Those will probably hit on Thursdays from this week on.

Anyhow, just stay tuned for more fun and festivities here on the Candy Aisle. If you have any questions comments or suggestions please post in the comments below or email me at walkingthecandyasle@gmail.com.

Candy Aisle Update

Hey all, no review today. Instead I've got a few quick updates on the state of the blog and Walking the Candy Aisle in general.

I;ve been really enjoying writing the blog, and posting the videos. Thank you to everyone who's visited and commented both here and on YouTube, this is a great venture that I'd like to continue into the distant future :) I mean I do love candy and chocolate.


For those of you who have read the blog over the past almost year you'll have seen that its sometimes busy and sometimes not so much. Come January the blog will again be reverting a bit to its slower status. I'm still planning to post weekly, and of course continue the weekly reviews, but might be a bit lighter on the rest of the 'extra' stuff. I know a few of you are starting to read the blog more regularly and thats great, but it takes a lot of work to post so much, especially with so many pictures.

You may have noticed that in an effort to streamline things over the end of our Christmas review I stopped posting the written portion of the candy reviews. Unless there's a good reason for a written review moving forward you can expect this format to continue, with less written and more video reviews up here on the site. In fact I'd like to get more video in general up here. Maybe a few different segments other than reviews, but that's all still in the works as it were.

I thank you all for joining me on this walk down the candy aisle. If you've got any comments or suggestions for the site please drop me a line at walkingthecandyaisle@gmail.com and please head over to the Facebook, and Twitter pages to Like and Follow the Candy Aisle even more.

I hope everyone had a great holidays and I wish everyone the best in the new year. I for one am going to just keep on walking down this candy aisle, I hope you'll join me.

Old Ads Round 2 Wrap

I hope you've enjoyed the look we've been taking back at some of the awesome advertisements of yesteryear here on the blog over the past few weeks. What with the holidays and double review schedule some of these posts definitely might have been lost in the mire, so for those fans who missed it I just wanted to make sure I gave you a link through to all of the pieces from this second round edition of Old Ads.

Here are the posts we covered:

Old Ads Gum
Old Ads Candy
Old Ads Cereal
Old Ads Tie Ins

And if you missed it here is a link through to the Old Ads round 1 wrap up post linking to all of those ads. OR for those of you more adventurous, please go and check out the Facebook page for WTCA, there is a photo album just for this very topic featuring all of the old ads seen on this site and one or two more to bot! I think the Facebook page may in fact be the best way to view these ads sicne the descriptive text is in the convenient sidebar beside the embiggened photo. And hey, while you're there why not Like the Candy Aisle. Every Like counts.

The next round of Old Ads will probably be a few commercials I love, so lets keep our eye open for that. Until then please keep enjoying the blog :)

Halloween 2012 Wrap

Halloween has sadly come and gone. In the States people are getting ready for Thanksgiving before the major Christmas onslaught and here in Canada we've got a little breathing room before things get crazy again. At Walking the Candy Aisle though we've got some big plans for the blog through the end of the year. Expect full tilt coverage on the Christmas candies you love, and a starting look at some of the Canadian chocolates and candies you may or may not be so familiar with.

As for Halloween, it was definitely a success here. And considering the fact that my family and I have only really just moved to a new country I'm amazed so much content went up. In case you missed it, here are the various Halloween themed reviews that posted on WTCA this month. Please click through to any you may have missed.

It's Begining to Look A Lot...

Like Christmas Candy time!!!

I was of course wandering down the aisle this week, and my goodness the Christmas stuff is out already!

There's some good stuff out already, but I expect more to be hitting the shelves around town soon. I picked up a few select goodies for review here, and you can expect some great stuff coming down the pipe for the holidays here at Walking the Candy Aisle. Starting most significantly with double reviews from now until Christmas. One regular and one Holiday themed (at least through November). Then I may switch over full time to Xmas candy.

A few specific Holiday treats jumped out at me that I thought I'd share.

Nice Kinder packaging here.  I'm thinking about kicking off the new year doing some stuff on Kinder here on the blog. Maybe now's the time to dig in.

I've been seeing these 3-Dees all over the place lately, but they just seem so dumb that I've been trying to avoid them. I mean fruit gummies come and go every day... are these so different? Anyhow, these certainly got the licenses.

Now here's a gift box I'd like to receive!

You knew it had to happen right. I mean the Angry Birds are EVERYWHERE!

I get that Mini Eggs are everywhere now, but why exactly are they Christmas themed??? What animal lays its eggs in the middle of winter?! That seems totally reckless for both chickens and rabbits.

Hooray for alcohol chocolates! Both Lindt and Baileys themselves have gotten into the game. Awesome. I can't wait to try (and review) these for the blog!

Something that could surely only be made and sold in Canada, the Reese Half Pound Peanut Butter Cup!!! Holy Moly that's a big peanut butter cup!

Zami launching into competition with Kinder comes out swinging with these holiday themed Winne the Pooh ornaments inside milk chocolate eggs! Is this a good idea or a terrible one?

And holiday themed Kit Kats. These are essentially just Kit Kat minis (the same size as the 2 stick ones) but they've got a picture of jolly old Saint Nick on them. I picked one of these up immediately.

 Very cute. I like the smile, and the mittens.

Weird thing to break a kit kat across the middle... but that's how this was designed. Still tastes just as good though :)

I'm looking forward to a great Christmas here on the Candy Aisle blog. I hope you'll stick with me and enjoy the festive season!

Video fail :(

I've got some rather lame news for you today. I'm having some technical difficulties getting the Candy Aisle videos up onto YouTube. We're not quite in our new house yet and Internet is simply not what it should be. These uploads are just killing me...

So for now you're going to have to go without. I'm still recording video reviews and will post as soon as possible, but for the next little while you may be looking at written reviews for the most part.

Sorry for the inconvienience. I know everyone likes the videos :(

Later.

Today's review will be posted late. Sorry all. Expect it here by tomorrow at the latest. Thanks for the patience. New equipment, new set up, new everything :)

Oh Canada

So here we are... Canada.

It's a bit odd being back here after so much time away but I'm pretty excited too. Hopefully you've all been enjoying the road reviews. It seemed like the easiest way to keep the content coming while traveling.

Since I'm here now though you can expect more regular posts to start back up again shortly. I'll be rolling into some fun Halloween coverage next week and making sure to give you all the info on the new and exciting candy here in the Great White North.

For a preview of whats to come you can check out a post I wrote last time I was up north on Walking the Canadian Candy Aisle... 

Looking forward to more candy, more review, and a whole new candy aisle. If you've got any comments or thoughts please feel free to send me an email at walkingthecandyaisle@gmail.com

I'll be talking with you all again very soon :)

The Big Move

So a little bit of housekeeping for you today instead of a review.

Don't worry more are coming and soon. But today I wanted to talk to you on a bit more of a meta level. Its all good though.

Walking the Candy Aisle is more or less run by me, Geoff, and news that affects me affects the blog. Well, my family and I have decided to move from San Francisco back to our hometown of Toronto, Canada.

There are lots of reason why we're going and it definitely wasn't an easy decision, but the most important reason is that we wanted our kids to grow up closer to their extended family.

I love San Francisco and always will, being here has always meant so much to me, but its time to move on.

I'm not intending this to have too big of an impact on the Candy Aisle blog, but I thought I should let everyone know why all of a sudden I'm talking about Aero, Coffee Crisp and Crunchie bars so much.

I'm changing the format for the next few weeks as well. Starting on Tuesday you'll be getting quick video reviews from mme on the road. No written content, but expect 2 videos a week both here, and on the YouTube channel. And if you're not on that, please go subscribe now.

Thanks for the support all, I'll see you on the other side of the Great White North.
Geoff

Kool-Aid Memories

Oh how I love Kool-Aid...

For many years I've been a pop culture fanboy. And one of the things I've always really responded to is advertizing, especially 'pop' advertizing. The kind of advertizing that hits on that sweet spot of playful, fun, and cool geekery. Along with that came an appreciation for good design work. If you've watched my video reviews of candy then you know that I ALWAYS talk about the wrappers. That's because candy wrappers are important. They should convey what the potential buyer is about to get into, and if not maintaining a theme in the design, candy should always at least have a sense of what tone it wants us to take from it. If your wrapper isn't fun, then I don't expect the candy or the experience to be fun.

And that is one of the reasons I love Kool-Aid. The product hits squarely into that sweet spot of pop advertizing, especially considering the nostalgia I associate with the late 80s - early 90s Kool-Aid Man commercials. They we're honestly a great example of creating a tone and feel for a product. It clearly resonated with kids too, Kool-Aid was massively popular back in the 80s.

Its unfortunate to see how far the product has fallen.... but I'd rather not dwell on that.


A few years ago I was reading one of my favorite blogs at the time X-Entertainment, and I came across his review for... I think it must have been Purplesaurus Rex, and I was hooked. Matt at X-E spent a time over a year or so reviewing a ton of Kool-Aid flavors. it was really a treat, and one of the first time I got a bit obsessive with a blog. In fact that is one of the reasons I started this very blog here.

Kool-Aid is awesome. It has real power with kids, and I still love it to this day. One of the many things I love about Kool-Aid is the graphic design work. The packages and variations are very cool. I like the colors, and the evolving elements over time, but I especially love the Kool-Aid man himself. He graces most of the Kool-Aid packages and is possibly the best food mascot design ever.

So with that, lets have a look at my collection of Kool-Aid packets.

While these ones look old they are actally only from around 2009. I picked them up in Canada (hence the french). This shows off the current roster of flavors up in the great white north: Strawberry, Grape, Tropical Punch, Ice Blue, Cherry, Orange, Lemon-Lime, and Strawberry-Kiwi. At least this was the current roster the last time I was up there and checked. At least here in the States the market after 2010 has seen a steep decline in  kool-aid variety. I will say about these packages though that I love the fact that right off the bat you know this is kool-aid. That face is all you need. Pretty impressive considering how the rest of their mascots body draws your attention. Oh Yeah!

Until a little while ago this was the roster of standard flavors available in the US. Grape, Tropical Punch, Black Cherry, Orange, Pink Lemonade, Cherry, Lemon- Lime, Lemonade, and Strawberry. These were, and are the standard packet designs you'll see around stores here. That said since around 2010 most stores seem to have switched and ONLY offer Tropical Punch, Lemonade, and Cherry. Sometimes if you're going for a larger size, say the tub of kool-aid, powder you'll find Grape or Ornage but mostly its just those very depressing three flavors. And I'm not saying Tropical Punch, Cherry, or Lemonade are bad, in fact they're all good. But my real favorites were always Black Cherry or STrawberry. Neither of which are readily available anymore :(

I definitely like elements of the design work on these packages though. Kool-aid man is in his dapper yellow coat, holding out your drink of choice. You get to check out some of the fruit above the logo, and it generally conveys what it should. I like how excited the kool-aid man is; he's actually spilling some of hismself outin his haste to serve you a tasty beverage. My only gripe is that I would love to see the Kool-aid man's body actually be the color of the flavor. Oh I know that was only saved for very special occasions in a few ads but I was always impressed to see them shake things up a bit.

Moving on, these ones above are some of the older packets I've got. just kool-aid man chilling out beside some gigantic fruits. I don;t understand why they wouldn't have put all that text on the back of the packaging, but they didn't and while what we're left with is a classic, it also features a pretty small version of the kool-aid man.

Now lets give it up for the Island Twists.

Gotta love that ja-fakin accent! Well I don't recall ever having those originals but these are the older Island Twists I've got in my collection.

Seriously these are some of the best creations known to man. I am a big fan of the Island Twists in general and I was happy to see so many different flavors out there for a time. Almost all of them are great, and everyone is totally drinkable. My favorite of the bunch is probably Slammin' Strawberry Kiwi, but Soaring Strawberry Lemonade, and even the innocuous Berry Blue are great.

Interestingly Soaring STrawberry Lemonade and Roarin Rasberry Cranberry we're already Mountain Twists!??! I know they wen't from the Mountains to the Islands, but let me tell you, they are just that good! Actually I find this a bit confusing, but I suppose thats just how it goes in the crazy world of kool-aid.

And talk about your different packaging. This "Solar" Strawberry Starfruit is actually my absolute favorite kool-aid flavor that I own. I mean just look at it! THE KOOL-AID MAN IS IN A FRIGGIN SPACESUIT!!! how awesome is that? its amazing! yeah... just chilling out in space. leaning away against this awesome strawberry and starfruit asteroid. and is he standing on the earth?! wtf is going on here! greatest packaging ever. I will blast-off thank you very much.

btw - how many Americans have every even had a starfruit? especially in 1990???

Ok, so here's a look at some more modern Island Twists.Very busy packaging. I'm not sure why but I always expect the Soarin' Strawberry Lemonade to highlight the Strawberry. With the package being yellow like that I keep thinking its all lemon. The rainbows are a nice touch on all of the packages though. And I especially like the blue raspberries.

Did you know there's magic in the air...These two above are some more Kool-aid packets I picked up in Canada. The basic idea here is you get it and the powder is one color but it turns a different color once the water is added and its mixed. Then on top of that it might taste like a different flavor than its colored. David Blaine eat your heart out...

The Americans got in on the magic action as well with these two. Actually there were three in the line but I only ever found two. Both here and witht he Canadian ones you've also got a secret one. I Don't know about that though... what if your kid ends up hating the flavor?

For the life of me I can't remember what the actual flavor of this Switchin' Secret flavor is but I'm sure its awesome :)

Just wanted to take a break for another awesome ad. Sharkleberry, alongside Purplesarus Rex were possibly the coolest side characters you could ever have. Seeing them pal around with the Kool-Aid man was just awesome. Also one was a shark and the other a dinosaur. thats pretty awesome on its own. Still great company. ok back to the pics...

Kool-aid has taken more than a few twists and turns over the years. These Ice Cool branded ones are a good example of how the people behind kool-aid really did s good job innovating flavors. As far as I recall these were characterized by the addition of peppermint, making them "cool". I believe the lemon ice ones were far better than the arctic green apple but both were pretty fun. And the drinks were both colored clear, always a neat trick.

Here the kool-aid man has ditched the yellow jacket in favor of a lab coat. These are some seriously great graphics. Check out how excited he looks to be concocting these brews. I'm not sure how mad he really seems but I LOVE the lightning bolt through the logo.

Woah, very Jekyll and Hyde there in that ad. Pretty cool stuff :)

Just like the Ice Cool branded kool-aids, these invisibles share the clear liquid quality. Watermelon Kiwi is great and all, but this is really one of the only places I've ever seen to get straight Raspberry flavor kool-aid. Why they felt the need to go invisible on us with it is anyone's guess but I'm glad they did.

Finally I've got two random ones. The tangerine looks like ti could easily fit in wit hthe older style Island Twists, and I really like how they did the bordering on the packet. The Pineapple I believe is imported from Mexico. I'm a collector, but never to the point where I bought anything online, I found this Pineapple in a store myself just like all the rest. I like the Mexican packet design, if only because that is one seriously big glass of kool-aid in the background.

And here's the whole shebang, I stopped collecting sometime in 2010 after they officially discontinued the points program. Tha's a whole other topic that maybe I'll get into in another post though. Suffice it to say I was extremely bummed out that they stopped that, and now that kool-aid is down to only a few flavors tucked away shamefully underneath the Crystal Light its almost an embarrassment.

Think about how awesome kool-aid really was back in the day, a huge jug of kool-aid smashed through the wall shouting Oh Yeah! I mean that's pretty flippin amazing. And look at all these graphics! they are awesome. Oh I get it, I understand that people can't possibly intake that much sugar and feel ok with themselves anymore, it's a different world now. It just makes me sad... no more Sharkleberry Fin, no more Grape Houdini, no more Purplesarus Rex, no more Kool-Aid man. At least not for me.

In the end of course I still love Kool-Aid. I always will, but its a pale shadow of what it once was and that's sad. So instead of that, why not focus on the good. The joy that it brought to us all. Kool-Aid was a great brand. and even when I wasn't drinking it, it made me happy. That's a powerful brand, a powerful mascot. And for that I will always love and respect it.

Snackable M&Ms

 Every week or two I see something new in the candy aisle and I'd like to start bringing more smaller posts to you showcasing some of these products. I might not have much to say, but I think its neat to see them at least. I'm still aiming for one feature story and one review a week, although this week may be shy a feature. BUT that said, I've got one or two quick hits that I can definitely send out to the Candy Aisle reader-verse.

Like these for example, M&Ms snack mix bags. in Milk and Dark Chocolate varieties. This is a great idea for M&Ms. We all already know they go greatin snack mix, so capitolizing on it in a pre-packaged bag just makes good sense. Why they went for the pretzel style party mix as opposed to straight up Trail Mix with M&Ms I'm not sure, but I'd bet trail mix is on the way soon, especially if this snack-style party mix works.

"Salty &Sweet". Seems like you just can't go wrong there :)

UPDATE - Just saw that these also come in a Peanut variety!

Old Ads wrap and more

I thought I'd take a quick opportunity to do a quick little meta-blog today.

I've really enjoyed posting about some of the old ads for candy, chocolate, and snacks. I'm sure you guys can tell how much I love packaging, graphics,and advertising. Honestly you probably knew that beforehand, but now you've seen me revel in it a bit. For now I'm done looking at old ads, but I think I'll run another series on advertising later this year. Maybe look at some of my favorite tv commercials. Let me know what you think and if you have any ideas or suggestions for ads you think are worth a look.

For those of you that may have missed it here are links to the various Old Ads posts:

Old Ads intro
Old Ads bubble gum pt 1
Old Ads snacks

Old Ads kool-aid
Old Ads M&Ms

As we wrap up Spring around here and move into summer I wanted to also give you a bit of a tease for whats to come. Summertime is a great time to get out and about, its also a great time for big summer movies, and a bit later this summer I'll be having a look at some of the best films about and featuring candy and chocolate I can find. Actually there aren't that many of them so I may just look at everything.

More details on that coming in a few weeks, but its time to start watching :)

A Bitter Truth

Well, I know I said that Walking the Candy Aisle wouldn't take itself too seriously, but there is a time and a place for everything and even here there is certainly room for a little gravity when the situation calls for it. Today is Earth Day, and I wanted to take a minute to recommend a documentary I recently watched called Chocolate: The Bitter Truth.

The film was made in 2010 by the BBC under its 'Panorama Investigations' series and has also aired on CBCs Passionate Eye series. The film takes a look at child labor used in cocoa production, specifically in Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. It's pretty eye opening to see these kids harvesting cocoa, real honest to goodness slaves. And while the film does talk about the well intentioned work of the Fairtrade Foundation, and the International Cocoa Initiative it also specifically went out to put these standards to the test in the fields traveling to cocoa plantations and investigating for themselves.

I've spent some time in West Africa and I know how poor it is. I also have seen first hand how messy trying to clean things up can be. Having worked in development, I've seen how foreign NGOs often end up throwing money at problems in ways that just don't work, there's rampant corruption, little to no financial or practical oversight of development projects, and not a lot of follow through. The problems for these countries, some of the poorest in the world, are often systemic, and despite the best efforts and intentions of a lot of good local and foreign people they are not easily solved. I hate that I'm so jaded to these issues, because I do have hope, but problems like child labor are really complex. I think I'll start by trying to  keep an eye out for the Fairtrade logo on my chocolate from here on out. At least it's something to start with.

The documentary is available on YouTube, here is Part 1, followed by links to parts 2 - 5. I'd encourage you to check it out.
