German Confectionary Review - Lach Gummi

Nigel was up at 7.30 this morning, anxious to make his selection for our first German Confectionary Review.

He deliberated for quite some time, but in the end decided on the Lach Gummi or as kindly translated by Ze Monkeys, Laughter Gums.

Now, we don’t really advocate the playing with food, however we thought that with Lach Gummi it would be acceptable, in fact it was probably expected …… and de rigeuer in Germany.

And as a result afforded much robust laughter at The Towers …..

Lach Gummi 8And our score?  Well, it has to be an unprecedented 1001% on our Richter scale of Teutonic Noms, they delivered vigorously in all categories, TV snack appeal, aroma, nutritional value,  flavour, chewability and living up to their name!  We absolutely loved them, which bodes well for the other Germanic confectionary items our box.

You certainly made me giggle with the "wearing" of the laughter gums!! Glad you enjoyed your first sample.

Oh what fun and how creative these gummi candies are! They do look yummy too; a win win treat. I would be at the treat jar for one of these way too often.....looking forward to the next treat review, Dianne

I might not have been able to partake in the 'Lach Gummi' tasting but giggles galore could be heard mucho around these parts. I didn't have to shut the windows though - no river around here for miles. JantheFan x
