tastes bad, tastes stale, obsolete inventory?
1) these candy bars were apparently made for overseas distribution but never got there. I ordered from a company in Mass. figuring that all the reviews talking about candy with asian/indian language on the wrapper might be avoided but it was not. Seems you will get these "overseas" bars wherever you get them from.2) I wanted the VIOLET CRUMBLE but it is not available in the US anymore. Some reviewed these and said these bars were close to if not better than the VC. I disagree greatly. Although they are both a form of "sponge" candy with a chocolate covering, this bar does not come close to the VIOLET CRUBMLE. The "sponge" center only makes me think the word STALE, and the chocolate has something wrong with it. Not even close to the quality of the chocolate used on the VC. Indeed after just a small sampling from the first bar, I was so disappointed I tossed them all in the garbage.Too bad. Guess I'll keep on looking for the VC. Hail Flavius!
