That’s one berry that I would never turn down! A Razzling Idea Only, instead of being named after a real berry, they were named after a fictional “razzleberry.” I don’t know about you, but that berry sounds like it would be the best berry on the block. The name Razzles has quite a ring to it, don’t you think? But do you know where it came from? As it turns out, the name was derived from the world of berries. The fact that they could become a success with just a single flavor is clear proof of just how amazing Razzles really are! How many candies can you think of today that have made it big on a single flavor? Back then, they were made by a company called Fleer and only came in one flavor, raspberry. Little round Razzles are so much fun,” Razzles has been delighting audiences with their two-timing qualities since 1966. Originally marketed with the slogan, “First it’s a candy, then it’s a gum. Do you want candy? Do you want gum? How to choose? Is that a choice you’re prepared to make? And do you really even have to make it? For almost 50 years, when sugar cravings strike, candy connoisseurs have been choosing not to choose with Razzles. You’ve got a sweet tooth, but you aren’t quite sure what for. Here are some frequently asked questions emailed to me you might want to read first.We’ve all been there before.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) UPDATE: for even more confusing “candy/gum” see CandyAddict’s recent review of Japanese Wata Gum Name:Ĭoncord Confections owned by Tootsie Roll Industries I wonder if they’ve ever considered candy coating them like a Spree or Chicklet. The appearance is also kind of off-putting. It’s not smooth and the flavors are uneven. They’re a nice novelty and the gum part isn’t bad, but the candy part is pretty awful. I didn’t get any Cherry ones in this batch for some reason, so I can’t comment on that flavor. Much better than the regular Razzle, if you could just buy these, I think they’d do very well. Lemon: I figured this one was going to be really sour after those lime ones and I wasn’t disappointed. Orange: straight up sour with some nice fruity flavors. Blue Raspberry pretty much like the regular raspberry but intensely sour with a rather salty taste to it as well (I know there’s no sodium in there). The sour stays with the gum well after the rest of the flavor is gone. Lime: puckeringly sour with a good hint of lime essence. This package had more defects in it - three of the candies were noticeably darker than the others and just didn’t seem “right” so I didn’t eat them. These had a pretty powerful smell of chemicals. The color when it becomes gum is far more vibrant - the lemon became a lusturous saffron yellow and the dirty looking grape became, um, inky and the blueberry was positively turquoise. Raspberry: nice and flowery tasting with some good tart bite to it and a little hint of cotton candy but it doesn’t wear well, the flavor is gone before the sugar is. Blueberry: pretty good, kind of grapey and kind of like raspberry. Grape: not as chemical as some others, had an odd sort of ginseng/root flavor to it. Lemon: Solid, good mix of essence and tart. Orange: bland and lacking in any zesty punch. This is not bubble gum either, in case you were going to make some attempts. The gum has a nice lingering essence, but little sugar to jazz it up. They were disappointingly bland, but did turn into gum more faithfully than I remember when I was a kid. I chose three orange ones for my first Razzles in probably 20 years. Chewing them gives a burst of sweetness followed by some tart. Theyr’e rather grainy looking and kind of crumbly. They’re not the sassy looking, colorful pieces on the package. The package, of course, makes the Razzles look better than they actually are. That’s the wonder of candy, even if you’re disappointed, you’re rarely out more than a dollar. The package for these Razzles is particularly attractive, and that’s often enough to get me to buy something. Then It’s Gum!” I have to admit it doesn’t do either particularly well. They seem to be the jack-of-all trades of the candy world.
