The Ordinary Review

This review is special because it’s two reviews in one: a review for Nips: Peanut Butter Parfait, and a review for Nips: Chocolate Parfait. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the review.

I have a Nips: Peanut Butter Parfait candy in my mouth right now. I put it in my mouth as soon as I started typing this review, and it’s still there right now. It is tempting to bite it, but I know that I shouldn’t for several reasons:

• The peanut butter center tastes best when it’s the reward at the end of the candy, rather than when I cheat and try to get to it before then.
• These candies are more like hard candies than soft candies, so biting them is difficult.
• These candies in particular stick to your teeth pretty badly when you bite or chew them.

Okay, I have to admit that as I was typing up that list, the peanut butter center started to spill out. So, like any candy-loving American would do, I bit the candy. To my surprise, it was semi-chewy, though not easy to chew.

The chocolate parfait version is better than the peanut butter version, but only by a small margin. Overall, these candies are excellent. Their only drawback is the tough chewiness and stickiness.

I would recommend them to anyone who has ever liked Werthers hard candies or caramel. But watch out for your teeth! Don’t say I didn’t warn you, if your teeth break or your fillings get pulled out by these candies accidentally.

The other variety that I hope to try soon is Nips: Dulce de Leche vanilla parfait:

So good, but so bad for your teeth.

I have to say that generic, store-brand iodized salt is a must-have product for every household. There is no need to buy anything but the generic store brand version, because salt is salt is salt.

Salt is one of the best condiments because of its flavor, versatility, and cheapness. Salty food is almost always preferable to bland food. Sweet food is sometimes preferable, but who cares!

The particular generic brand of iodized salt in my house is called Shaw’s. Shaw’s is one of the grocery stores near my house. Shaw’s brand products are the only generic products that they have in stock. Fortunately, one generic brand is all I could ever want.
