Abba-Zaba 'Sour Apple'

Annabelle's

I just don't get it. Why would you want sour apple and peanut butter together? When I first tried an Abba-Zaba, I was pleasantly surprised at how well a taffy and peanut butter mix could be. They got great marks for originality, and even cooler, it didn't taste too bad. But this I don't get. I say this after having tried it, too.

I know that some people do enjoy a little peanut butter on apples. If you haven't heard of this before, well, that's not really surprising. Apples are a pretty versatile fruit. Apples and cheese are another popular team. To be honest, though, neither apples-and-peanut-butter nor apples-and-cheese really do it for me. This treat not only doesn't do it for me because I'm not a big fan of the mix, but also because the fake sour apple flavour is just gross.

Even on it's own, I don't know if I would want to munch it down. Mixed with peanut butter isn't helping either. I've said it in past reviews - fake apple is just gross. I have yet to taste a fake apple flavour that I really like. Some I can tolerate more than others, but for the most part it just generally doesn't work.
