It is interesting what kind of candy can be in a sweet New Year's gift, which costs only 109 rubles.
It is even more than a month before the New Year, and sets of sweet New Year's gifts for children have already begun to appear in stores. Was recently in a wholesale store and came across a gift at a price of only 109 rubles per box.
The package weighs 200 grams, which means that a kilogram of this assortment costs 545 rubles. I always translate the cost of food in kilograms, so it's easier to compare. I suggest you see what the gift looks like.
The packaging of such a cheap gift is nothing special. Made of ordinary cardboard and folded in the shape of a Christmas tree. In addition to the inscription "Happy New Year" and the composition, there is nothing interesting about the packaging, therefore I propose to study the composition.
I did not expect anything special from the composition - all the chocolates are made with cocoa butter substitute. The main substitute is palm oil and its fractions. I believe palm oil is more harmful to the body than beneficial. Especially for a child, and the gift is designed specifically for children.
In our country, the Ministry of Health considersthat palm oil is not harmful if you don't eat too much of it. But the wishes of WHO are closer to me, they recommend minimize palm oil in your diet. Is it harmful or useful, everyone decides for himself, and I I suggest looking at what's inside the box.
The candies are packed inside a transparent plastic bag. Haven't met this for a long time, but oh well. There are a total of 16 candies inside, of which 6 are candy caramel. I did not expect that such a gift would contain more chocolates than caramel. Although there is no cocoa butter in them, so these are no longer chocolates.
There are only two candy manufacturers: KDV and Nevsky Confectioner. I had never heard of Nevsky Confectioner before, but KDV is a group of companies with a large number of brands. The most famous are Yashkino, Kirieshki and O'zera. It's time to try the candies and find out how they taste.
All candies are sugary sweet to hide the use of cheap raw materials. After the sample of "chocolates", an oily residue remains in the mouth, which does not disappear immediately. Most of all, to my surprise, I liked the caramel. It's simple, there is no “palm”. It's time to take stock.
I didn't like the gift. Most of all I was surprised that such gifts even exist. But since it exists, then someone buys them, and this is sad. I would not like to end on a sad note, but I have nothing more to add. But no, there is: I would never want to receive such a sweet set as a gift. And you?
