Ooh, I do love a good Childhood memory.
So I haven't had a Refresher bar in absolutely ages! Last night my younger sister decided to take an impromptu trip to the local shop and being the wonderful sister I am I decided to accompany her sans money... No, I wasn't expecting anything, I swear ;)
However, I did get a little treat. Yep, you guessed it a Refreshers bar. For only 12p from my local shop it feels like somewhat of a steal.
I chose the strawberry flavour, it's always been a firm favourite of mine, since my days as a child & into sixth is was an affordable sugar fix that tastes just so darn scrummy. The taste is, as you'd expect from a 12p sweet, very synthetic. There is no way you could confuse what you were eating for a real strawberry, but it is enjoyable and the added 'fizz' from the popping candy pieces in it makes for a fun treat experience. My only grumble is the initial break-your-teeth consistency of it, although its easily resolved with a bit of moisture and heat - ya mouth! I'm always pleasantly surprised when I eat a refreshers bar too, I mean the fact that I spend minimal time trying to get it out of my teeth is - PUN COMPLETELY INTENDED - refreshing! Normally with a chewy sweet you are constantly fixing your teeth or unsticking the roof of your mouth, such a pain and no way to enjoy a guilty little pleasure!
I'm a bit of a sensory girl, smells and tastes often remind me of people and past events, refreshers are no exception, I always get a real feeling of summer as a kid when I eat these, I can only assume they are a staple sweet treat in the summer holidays for me!
Who else has childhood memories with confectionary? Original or Strawberry flavour? Lemme know.
