As many of you know I am a Bzz Agent. What that means is I get selected to try things out and then shout it from the rooftops what I think of it. Well, recently I have been selected for some candy campaigns. More specifically gum and what’s called Unreal candy which is candy that doesn’t have all of the fat and sugar, but has all the taste and even some added things like fiber and protein. So today I would like to tell you about these products which I received to sample with my family free of charge.
Dentyne Split To Fit Packs
Who likes gum? I sure do and my middle daughter is a huge fan of it. I got to sample Dentyne’s Split To Fit packs. It’s gum in a nice little container which you can split to fit in a small pocket. So you can take it to go without a problem. It’s not the big bulky packs of gum from our youth. Heck, they aren’t sticks anymore. It’s in a pill pack like container and it’s a small square piece of gum like a Chicklet.
It comes in five flavors. There’s Peppermint, Spearmint, Arctic Chill, Mint Frost, and Spicy Cinnamon. I only got to try out the Peppermint, Spearmint, and Arctic Chill. So what did I and my family think of these 3 flavors?
Peppermint: I found the Peppermint to be okay. I’m not a huge fan of peppermint. My children found it to be a little too spicy, or hot as my son says. It burnt his tongue. But for the most part I would say this flavor wasn’t half bad.
DENTYNE ICE PEPPERMINT ARTIFICIALLY FLAVORED
INGREDIENTS: SORBITOL, GUM BASE, MALTITOL, MANNITOL, ARTIFICIAL AND NATURAL FLAVORING, GLYCERIN; LESS THAN 2% OF: ACACIA, ACESULFAME POTASSIUM, ASPARTAME, BHT (TO MAINTAIN FRESHNESS), CANDELILLA WAX, SOY LECITHIN, SUCRALOSE AND TITANIUM DIOXIDE (COLOR).
PHENYLKETONURICS: CONTAINS PHENYLALANINE
Spearmint: This was my favorite flavor. Actually it was a hit with everyone. I’m not too surprised I like it best. It’s what I would have bought myself anyways. Just the right of mint and cool.
DENTYNE ICE SPEARMINT ARTIFICIALLY FLAVORED
INGREDIENTS: SORBITOL, GUM BASE, MALTITOL, MANNITOL, ARTIFICIAL AND NATURAL FLAVORING, GLYCERIN; LESS THAN 2% OF: ACACIA, ACESULFAME POTASSIUM, ASPARTAME, BHT (TO MAINTAIN FRESHNESS), CANDELILLA WAX, SOY LECITHIN, SUCRALOSE AND TITANIUM DIOXIDE (COLOR).
PHENYLKETONURICS: CONTAINS PHENYLALANINE
Arctic Chill: This one my whole family could agree was just awful. I would not recommend this flavor at all. I personally thought it had sort of a cough medicine after taste to it. My husband says it was just too strong. I don’t know all I kept thinking was it tastes like cough syrup.
DENTYNE ICE ARCTIC CHILL
INGREDIENTS: SORBITOL, GUM BASE, MALTITOL, ARTIFICIAL AND NATURAL FLAVORING, MANNITOL, GLYCERIN; LESS THAN 2% OF: ACACIA, ACESULFAME POTASSIUM, ASPARTAME, BHT (TO MAINTAIN FRESHNESS), CANDELILLA WAX, SOY LECITHIN, SUCRALOSE AND TITANIUM DIOXIDE (COLOR).
PHENYLKETONURICS: CONTAINS PHENYLALANINE
They all were a long lasting chew. Well, honestly, I only kept the Arctic Chill in my mouth for a minute. So I don’t really know how long that one lasts, but judging by the other two flavors I would assume it would be a flavor that kept on giving for at least two hours like the other two. It might be small, but they definitely packed a punch in flavor.
All in all I would recommend Dentyne Ice Split To Fit packs to you. I would just stay away from the Arctic Chill. I would like to try the Mint Frost sometime. I think I would like that too. Spearmint is definitely where it’s at though!
Unreal Candy
The next candy I got to try out was called Unreal Candy. Unreal Candy is your favorite candy bars without all of the junk. Nothing artificial about it. What? Healthy candy? That’s got to be so gross. But I’m willing to try it. Any candy I can get for my children to eat that is relatively good for them is good in my book.
There are 5 different flavors. Unreal 54 is comparable to peanut M&M’s, Unreal 41 is comparable to M&M’s, Unreal 8 is comparable to Snickers, Unreal 5 is comparable to a Milky Way, and Unreal 77 is comparable to Peanut Butter Cups.
It isn’t sold in a lot of places though. You can’t get it at Walmart and my local grocery stores did not carry it. I had to go to CVS to get it. I did see it at BJ’s after I found it at CVS too. I chose the Unreal 77 which was similar to a peanut butter cup and then I shared it with my neighbor and my kids. Five of us eating two little peanut butter cups. But we got the verdict.
The adults loved it. The oldest child said it had a strange after taste. Now unless it’s account of this cold I am having a tough time shaking I think she’s crazy. I had no after taste. I honestly think if it came in a Peanut Butter wrapper I probably wouldn’t have noticed a difference. It does not taste exactly the same, but I would say you could fool someone with it. Since my son wanted more I’d say it was a hit with him, which is great because he is the child of mine who I have to watch with the candy.
Nutrition Info
Here is the Nutritional information on each Unreal candy you can get.
As you can see they all use natural ingredients. Go ahead and look at the nutritional information of any one of these candies of the original. You will find it has nearly half the sugar of a regular candy bar and it’s actually pretty comparable to eating a piece of fruit, at least as far as the sugar intake goes.
I am looking forward to try all of these flavors, except for the Unreal 8. I just do not like Snickers bars. All of the other candy is some of my favorite though.
Are you ready to give Dentyne Split to Fit and Unreal Candy a try?
Disclaimer: I received the gum and candy free of charge through Bzz Agent to try out and review. All thoughts and opinions expressed her are my own.
I recently had UNREAL for the first time and loved it! I thought I wouldn’t like the peanut butter cups b/c I’m such a fan of a popular competitive brand, but I was surprised!
I love the Dentyne Split to Fit Packs!! As a mom they come in real handy with kids. Buy one pack, split it and boom they have their own. Love it!! As for the Unreal Candy I have been hearing a lot about them lately but still have not tried them or even seen them in stores. They definitely have some unique eye catching wrappers..
