Gentle Yogurt Oreos Review

 

Fro-yo girl here. Replicant Shell had imported yogurt candy and imported OREO yogurt cookies. One box of OREO gentle yogurt cookies is 97 grams and priced at $4.99. The box contains two pouches. Each pouch has five Oreos. The cookies are imported from China.

The yogurt OREO looks like your typical OREO, though some of the OREOs had a different design stamped onto the chocolate cookie. The cookies definitely smell different. They smell like Yakult. The cookie is thin and crispy. It seems crispier, less sweet, and less chocolatey than the American OREOs. The cream part is tangy like Yakult. I didn’t like it because I don’t like Yakult. Also, there’s a powdery quality to the yogurt flavor.

You can purchase Gentle Yogurt OREOs purchased online, at Order Exotic Snacks.

Skittles Lactic Acid (Yogurt) Gummy Review

Fro-yo girl here. I found more imported yogurt candy at Replicant Shell in Pasadena. These Skittles are gummy candies imported from China. The small pouch was $4.49.

Three flavors: Sour Original (yellow), Sour Lemon (green), Sour Mango (orange)

There are soft gummies and there are hard gummies. Skittles gummies are very soft and spongey, with a firmer interior. They smell like Yakult. The sizes and shapes are not uniform.

• Original: sour flavor but tangy like Yakult, with a sweet aftertaste, very soft texture almost like mochi
• Mango: fruity flavor and tangy, does have a mango taste, seemed sweeter
• Lemon: didn’t get any

The gummies are good, though I prefer the firmer texture of the Lactic Acid Yogurt Skittles.

Lactic Acid (Yogurt) Skittles Review

Fro-yo girl here. I recently heard that the Shell station on Arroyo in Pasadena, aka Replicant Shell, had a selection of imported Asian snacks. I found several kinds of Skittles, imported from China. I selected an interesting small peach-colored resealable pouch without knowing what kind of Skittles it contained (the package didn't have English except for the word Skittles). The 100g pouch was $3.99.

I tried to find out more about my purchase using online research, but there was little information. Google translated some of the text on the package as lactic acid flavor and lactobacillus. These are yogurt-flavored Skittles!

The pouch contained five different colors of Skittles: pastel green, pastel pink, pastel yellow, pastel blue, and pastel peach. Based on tasting each, I believe the flavors are:

• Yellow: Pineapple
• Green: Lime
• Pink: Strawberry
• Peach: Peach
• Blue: Yakult/yogurt

The Skittles were the size, shape, and texture of the regular Skittles. They were firm, chewy, and had a thin shell. Each flavor of Yogurt Skittles was a bit tangy and it seems possible that each one had a Yakult flavor blended in.

Yogurt Skittles are really good! They’re not better than original Skittles,, just different.
