    Fujiya Peco Gummy Grape — An Update

    Still absolutely disgusting. I don't think I went far enough in the first review, which is saying something given that I compared it to bin juice and BO. Reading it back now, it feels generous.

    Pretty nice and refreshing. Really fun clear plastic "can". You can see the drink through it! I know you can see through a bottle as well, but this is shaped like a can, and apparently that's enough to get me interested.

    Pretty nice! Good bite, good chew, nice flavour. Little paw prints. Quite a lot going for them!

    Nicely shaped lollipop. That's the first thing to say for it, and probably the strongest thing to say for it. A pleasing little object. Someone has thought about the shape and it's worked.

    Quite nice. Not as deep purple as other grape drinks I've had, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Maybe they're going for accuracy. Actual grapes do exist, even if this publication doesn't spend much time with them.

    Looks good, smells good, tastes good. Classic. We are well and truly abstracted away from any real grape at this point, this is its own thing now, a flavour that exists in its own right, and it's a good one.

    Peelerz Gummy Grape

    Interesting idea. Can be eaten multiple ways. Has a tougher "peelable" outside layer and a softer inside, so the concept is that you peel the layers apart before eating.

    Yes, I've seen the ads. For years now I've seen those ads, they're great ads! The ads are better than the gummy!

    Really great. Got that artificial flavour I love but it's not overwhelming. Comes out more while chewing, which makes it more rewarding than a lolly that hits you with everything upfront and then has nowhere to go. Very satisfying. Want to go back for more and more and more.

    The packaging said this was still in date, but it tasted rancid. Really like eating bin juice that's been set in gelatine. Like eating BO, really bizarre to be honest.

    Yum. Classic yummy grape flavour. Strong, immediate, no ambiguity. You know what you're eating and it's good.
