Advantages: Very Tasty, Mine was only 29p
Disadvantages: Doesn't Last Long Enough
Whilst looking round my local corner shop, I started to look at the chocolate. Not really eating a great deal of chocolate, I normally tend to look and think do I want something or shall I do without, which is what I was going to do today until a huge red logo on a particular chocolate bar said 29p. I looked to investigate what it was and it was a Cadbury Boost. Being one of my favourites when I do indulge I could miss that 29p opportunity and picked one up, looking forward to getting it home, undressing it and having a couple of damn fine moments with it.
Cadbury's Boost have been around for years, I think they used to do them in other flavours too and they used to be referred to as Biscuit Boost. The packaging hasn't changed really over the year, its just turned into foil like most things are these days. It comes in dark blue foil wrapper with the Boost Logo on the front, and now the words Charged With Glucose as they currently are. On my particular purchase it has a huge 29 in red letters on a yellow background which is the normal colours that people use to get a strong message across. On the reverse, it contains the nutritional information, best before date, ingredients, weight and details if you aren't satisfied with the product. I don't know whether you have noticed but most manufactuers ar displaying their nutritional information in two formats on their products, the in depth lengthy way that we are all used to seeing on everything and now a brief indication of the main facts. These are:
Calories: 315
Sugars: 29.6g
Fat: 17.8g
Saturates: 13.7g
Salt 0.2g
On this particular packaging it also states what percentage of your daily intake this product contains.
The product itself, I wads impressed for a measily 29p. Its quite a good sized bar covered in Cadbury chocolate. When you bit into it, it has an outer layer of caramel, chocolate centre, with tiny little pieces of biscuit in it. The taste I think is sensation, not really another bar like it on the market to my knowledge. Its in a league of its own. A little bit tough on the old teeth when biting into it as the caramel makes it a little chewy but as soon as you have bit a piece off then there is no stopping. The biscuit / chocolate centre actually melts in your mouth however occasionally you do come across a larger piece of biscuit that you have to chew a little bit more.
Downfall, it doesn't last long enough, its one of the tastiest bars about and one that I will continue to buy when I am having one of my rare cravings for chocolate.
Available in multi packs from super markets and singles from most shops, supermarkets and garages. I think Cadbury ought to introduce Boost in a bitesize version and include within miniture heroes, its certainly worthy of it.
