Ferrari "Cola"

Toms

Have you ever had a gummy that was so challenging to chew that you didn’t even get a sense of the flavour until about your 10th chew. I’m not sure why, but I expected these Ferrari gummies to be very soft and maybe a little sticky, but I couldn’t be more wrong. As of writing this, I have attempted to eat this bag of gummies 3 times, and the most I’ve been able to eat in one sitting is 3. This entire bag of gummies would give my jaw a workout and likely make it difficult to eat anything else for the rest of the day.

While the chew is intense, the design is a little weird. I’m no sure why so many gummy treats from the Nordic countries are shaped like cars. It’s an odd trend, and these are a perfect example of this weirdness. I guess one could play with the cars, and as they crash during the big race, rather than repair or scrap them, you could just eat them. At least the design is nicely detailed with the wheel and even parts of the engine visible.

As for the flavour, it’s cola. While it takes a few chews to get the flavour out, when it does appear it’s satisfying enough. It’s on the sweeter side, but there is a slight hint of acidity that gives cola flavoured candies a nice balance. While I don’t think I would ever seek out these gummies, they’re worth trying if you find them. Just be warned that a small bag of these will last a while, unless you like a sore jaw.
