I never gained a ton of weight! Loved your article about Peter Paul. I grew up in Naugatuck and Peter Paul employed most of my family for many years. As a little girl,I could not wait for my parents to bring home boxes of seconds for their friends.
I would go to the bottom layer and have my fill before they noticed any gone. I rode by that factory many times and saw my dad in the window. Even after his death I could picture him there. The town was heartbroken when Peter Paul was leveled…worse than the day the chemists came in to redo the formula and it was the beginning of the end.
You should try get hold of a Bounty! Some of those variants you just posted look really really great! That Key Lime pie one especially looks indeed very tasty I hope you review it soon!
Micahel - you can get Bounty in the States though usually at import shops or places near the Canadian border. You can certainly have a preference for one over the other. Jim - the Key Lime one was a over two years ago. I kept eating my review samples I think I had three of them and just never put up a post.
Same with the Toasted Coconut I think I found them on vacation. Hi, I am in middle school. Me and a few of my friends started a candy club a while back p. Each week we have to come up with a new candy hat we have never heard of. It is really fun trying and rating candy.
Im hosting next so I am surfing your blog looking for a great candy. I figured that there was an average ratio that they had to follow. I also wish that Almond Joy was covered with bittersweet.
I would probably never buy a Mounds again. Better almond ratio, and the coconut texture is an improvement. Time to remedy that, methinks. I love Almond Joy! I saw the post on Consumerist, but as you said this is nothing new.
There is something noticably different. Whatever happened to Almond Joy Bites?! Any scoop on that? In popular culture Train buffs have noticed a resemblance between the M3 a type of subway car built by the Budd Company for Philadelphia's public transportation system and this candy, due to humps in the roof containing ventilation fans.
They refer to the cars as "Almond Joys". Episode nine of season two uses the candy's theme song. In the movie Kelly's Heroes , a case of Almond Joy bars is seen in the background behind Don Rickles' supply depot desk, as he is speaking with Clint Eastwood.
This is an anachronism since Almond Joy was not introduced until One of the Allman Brothers' early band names was the Allman Joys.
While some people hate it, many people love coconut, and those that normally may avoid it may be tempted by the combination of chocolate and almonds that go with it. The proof is in the pudding, so to speak, the Almond Joy has survived and is still often found on store shelves as of , and the candy has quite a strong following of fans. Almond Joy brings back fond memories of when I was just a kid, eating them watching movies like Lion King and Jurassic Park.
Whenever my parents would rent or take me to the movies I would always bring a pack of Almond Joy to snack on. Thinking back to the past brings back found feelings of me just being a kid and enjoying Almond Joy and my childhood movies. They went well together, and it is one of the hallmarks of my childhood. While made by the same company and often advertised side by side even in , there is nonetheless a comparison that has to be made between these two similar candy products.
While the discussion of what one of the two is better, Almond Joy or Mounds, is a topic of heated discussion in internet forums, in the end that is a matter of opinion. We can however highlight the differences between the two candies and how they compare.
Almond Joy is made of milk chocolate, while Mounds is made using dark chocolate. Milk chocolate is a popular version of chocolate that contains milk and is sweeter than dark chocolate, and is especially liked in America. Dark chocolate is more bitter and has a higher percentage of cocoa, and is often favored in European markets such as the United Kingdom.
Both Almond Joy and its rival sibling Mounds contain forms of shredded coconut, and this is where both products really compare and get their link to one another. The taste of both products has some similarities, but despite both containing coconut and often being related together, they are fairly different in terms of the experience of eating them. Almond Joy contains somewhat hard almonds to bite through, and Mounds is a much more soft candy, so each can cover a different base of mood and tastes of a candy consumer.
Almond Joy has used television commercials as a major marketing form since at least the s. Considered by some to be a smaller brand, the Almond Joy is often marketing alongside its sibling candy bar, Mounds.
Both products tend to be marketed in commercials together, often playing off how one has almonds and the other does not. Almond Joy has nonetheless appeared in a number of TV commercials, and as of , it was reported that the Hershey Company has increased its advertising investment for its smaller candy brands, such as Almond Joy, Heath Bar, and Rolo.
The packaging itself for the candy tends to just be a flimsy wrapper, though the miniatures variation comes in a larger bag with individually wrapped Almond Joys inside. The typical color for the brand is blue, but depending on the flavor, different varieties of Almond Joy will have different color variations in their packaging art style. As an example of a packaging color differentiation, the double chocolate flavor of Almond Joy has a brown packaging style, and the White Chocolate Key Lime flavor Almond Joy has a white and green color packaging style.
