I recently picked this box up to sample. I figured since I have an obligation to review fall snacks, why not? Well it turns out there's nothing fall about them.
Take a look at that box for a second. Seems pretty standard, right? A mix of orange, yellow and red. Autumnal colors. Maybe some pumpkin flavor? A little apple, butternut?
Wrong. It's just fucking chocolate and cake. What is fall about that? What is party about that? I could just buy a fucking Ring Ding any time of year. I don't need to wait until October to be suckered into buying a snack food with special colors on it.
You can literally replace the writing on the box and it could be a hundred different things. Take away the orange and it becomes the Belgian flag. Did that just blow your mind? Goddamn right it did. Look at this prototype box I drew up:
A different box and goes from being a 'fall party cake' to Belgium's national snack food. There's nothing fall or party about these cakes! I don't even know what a party cake is! I don't bring cake foods to parties. I'm a selfish blogger, sue me. I'm keeping bad boys like these all for myself.They're pretty good though, don't get me wrong. But false advertising is a bitch. 5/10.
PS- During my research for this blog I found out that Belgium uses a 13:15 ratio for their flag instead of the standard 2:3.
