Now and Later Cherry

I wont run them consecutively, I'm sure that'd be quite boring, but I hit the gold mine when it come to 'Now and Later's. A near by store has the largest collection of flavors I've ever seen, and over a period of time I'll review every last one of them. Just let me know if I'm going over board!

Older readers will remember these from their youth, the rest of us have only seen them sparingly. They seem to fade in and out of popularity. Any young people out their that might want something to compare them to, just think Starbursts. Now and Later's are just a bit more firm, and I think more flavorful.

Don't think I'm kidding when I say 'firm' either; if you don't suck on them 'Now' before you bite into them 'Later' (get it), these can very well rip a filling right out. That would not be cool at all.

To start with, I'll hit a basic flavor; 'Cherry.' Tastes great, but absolutely nothing like any cherry I've ever bitten into. That's a trait with a lot of these budget candies; they'll taste good, but the names can be interchangeable. This could have easily been a 'Berry.' Regardless, they're good, and I think you'll enjoy them.

Take this nutritional info with a grain of salt; there wasn't any official info so I grabbed some numbers off of a diet information site. 9 of the individually wrapped pieces net you 120 calories. I don't think that's too bad; you're unlikely to sit down and eat 9 of them at a time anyway. Where these really shine is price; if you're paying more than a quarter for the 1.26oz 'bar,' you're paying too much. Excellent value, great flavor, and that combination equals a solid recommendation.
