English Invasion Part 2: Rowntree's Fruit Pastilles

     I'm starting to suspect all candy from England is better.  I'm not a big fan of fruit snacks and I still inhaled these.  These things are a fruity jelly covered in sugar and they're a big hit with my taste buds.
     Once again let's check out the wrapper to see how other countries do it.
Except for the shape of the nutritional info, does every country just copy each other?
I guess someone working on these labels is a Mitch Hedberg fan?
     There are five flavors: Lemon (yellow), blackcurrant (purple), strawberry (red), lime (green), and orange (orange).  First off what the fuck is a blackcurrant?  I don't think those grow over here.  Also there were only two in the pack so I'm not really sure what they're supposed to taste like.  The other flavors were all great.  Like Jujubes or Starburst but less artificial and covered with sugar.  
     Another thing I liked was that you don't have to unwrap each one like a Starburst.  I find that annoying, inconvenient, and unfavo(u)rable to our environment.  You can just pop these things like Skittles without having to chew as hard.  Bravo England.  8/10.
