Jayenkai	Tasting 02's Nuts > Reveal 🔎 The Corn is crispy, but kinda hollow, so not tooth shattering! The Cashews are soft. The Almonds are harder. Flavour wise... I'd've preferred plain/salted. The rosemary's not the flavour you want on your nuts. 03's Balls > Reveal 🔎 Very bland. Mostly normal milk chocolate with a few gritty bits (toffee crisp rice, or was it biscuit? Not sure) Couldn't discern a flavour. Honestly, why bother, Cadbury? We all know the Creme Egg is unbeatable, and that's yours, anyway! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	@Brice. Wow! I honestly don't expect any of these sauces to be very spicy I've got some sauces in my cupboard that one drip burns aaaaaaaaaaall the way down! But these, so far? Nothing like them! Fingers crossed though

AndyH	No visual spoilers, I'll just give a Funko rating. Today I opened Centipede. Rating - Not Funko looking at all. 10/10. (yesterdays Ghost rating - Got the Funko shape, but saved by the face and pose - 5/10) -=-=- Andy H 8-bit games at www.hewco.uk Cartoons at awful.ovine.net Ovine at ovine.net

Jayenkai	On day four, I got.. Degustabox > Reveal 🔎 Merry Gravy! I've had the Beef and Onion one of these before, and the onion was far too oniony for me, and it ruined my meal. Hopefully this one's better. Beanies > Reveal 🔎 Mince Pie. Same as the Jar. Hmmm... Oh well.. Funko > Reveal 🔎 So far, this guy has the monopoly on the Hasbro Retro Toys blind boxes. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Sun, 04 Dec 2022, 05:24
rockford	I hate duplicates in blind bags from the same order. Day 04 Squishy > Reveal 🔎 It's a Peep type cheep! Hot Sauce > Reveal 🔎 What can be said? A sack of sauce.
Sun, 04 Dec 2022, 07:32
Jayenkai	Your squishes are all very similar. ... .. But at least there's a teensy bit of variation there. > Reveal 🔎 -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Sun, 04 Dec 2022, 09:01
rockford	Yep, you have the monopoly on duplicates so far. As for mine looking the same, that's what I was expecting tbh. It's the style of the product. Simplified, puffy, squishy things.
Mon, 05 Dec 2022, 04:51
rockford	Day 05 Squishy > Reveal 🔎 Wabbit season. And the whole gang, so far. > Reveal 🔎 Hot Sauce > Reveal 🔎 Another sachet that looks like all the others.
Mon, 05 Dec 2022, 05:12
Jayenkai	I expect an epic diorama by the time you're done! (Though the ground will be mostly made up of mushy slimy brown goo) Mine are.. Debustabox > Reveal 🔎 .. Thafuq is the obsession with Chocolate Balls!?! Seriously!!!? I've had one of these before. They're alright, but a little dry, IIRC. Beanies > Reveal 🔎 Yule Log : Just tastes like their chocolate one, if I'm honest. and Toffee Nut Latte : I'll look forward to that one later. Funko > Reveal 🔎 I'll be honest. I've only ever played about 5 mins of any Megaman game. Even so, I can tell they're Funko'd eyes on this one. Booooooo... -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

AndyH	Today's funko is pacman. Rating 10/10. Very non-funko and this model is what got me to buy the set. Let's hope there are more like this. Rockford- like the bunny squishy. -=-=- Andy H 8-bit games at www.hewco.uk Cartoons at awful.ovine.net Ovine at ovine.net

rockford	What have they done to MegaMan's eyes? Why the highlight? It would look more like MM without it.
Mon, 05 Dec 2022, 13:11
Jayenkai	It's the exact same eyes as the red Dig-Dug thing had the other day. I think that's a Funko thing, but.. At least it's not the traditional Funko Deadeye! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Mon, 05 Dec 2022, 13:31
rockford	The deadeye would look better for this one, I think.
Tue, 06 Dec 2022, 03:08
Jayenkai	Day Six Degustabox > Reveal 🔎 I've had these before, but they were a much blander Garlic and Herb. Tomato and herb should be better, right?! At least it isn't balls, today. Beanies > Reveal 🔎 White Chocolate and Raspberry, and Irish Cream. Neither of these are new Festive flavours. They're both nice, though. Funko > Reveal 🔎 Mr Monopoly finally has a friend! Note : Mr Potato Head's features are none-removable. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Tue, 06 Dec 2022, 12:16
rockford	All good today then Day 06 Squishy > Reveal 🔎 I think this is a dumbo octopus. My wife thought it was a cat. My son thought it was rubbish. I believe my son is right. It definitely has eight "legs"... Hot Sauce > Reveal 🔎 Nothing to see here. Scorpion chili. I had this on Day 01 IIRC. Repeats already? There are supposedly 12 different chilis. Grrrrrr...
Tue, 06 Dec 2022, 13:56
Jayenkai	Um... Cool!
Wed, 07 Dec 2022, 02:49
Jayenkai	Day Seven Degustabox > Reveal 🔎 Well, you can fuck right off!! Beanies > Reveal 🔎 Yule Log again, and Coconoms!! Nom nom nom!!! Coconut is definitely my favourite of the Beanies Funko > Reveal 🔎 OooOOooooOOOoOOOooOoo -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	What's wrong with the tea? Have you had it before (I can't remember), and why 17 tea bags? Strange number. The ghost doesn't have eye highlights...
Wed, 07 Dec 2022, 12:23
rockford	Dady 07 Squishy > Reveal 🔎 > Reveal 🔎 Yeah, I don't know either! Hot Sauce > Reveal 🔎 Habanero. Well, that's what it says on the packet. > Reveal 🔎 I had the Caribbean one earlier. I am now totally convince that each sachet is just a bag of dirty water. There is no discernible taste or heat to any of them so far. Seriously. I want something from these, but I'm just getting a shit load of "Nope. Dirty water FTW!"
Wed, 07 Dec 2022, 16:44
Jayenkai	Looks a bit snout-like.. Is it a big with flying wing-based ears!?! shrugs Tasting : Today's tea tastes like every single bloody other one of those Advent Calendar teas from a few years ago. I don't mind these sorts of teas, but there's NO variety to them. Maybe you have to be a professional tea-taster to recognise any difference between them, but I sure as hell can't. Ginger, Cinnamon, Lemon, Shrubs, Brickdust and Star Anise. No matter the blend, they're all the same to me. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Wed, 07 Dec 2022, 17:41
rockford	Same here with those teas. They all smell nice when you make them, but just taste like dry leaves to me. And when I say dry, I mean it - they don't leave my mouth feeling wet, like a good cuppa, if you know what I mean. They like suck all the moisture out of you.
Wed, 07 Dec 2022, 17:45
Jayenkai	Give me a fruit/mint tea any day. Those teas go down much better for me. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Wed, 07 Dec 2022, 18:54
rockford	Heathen. Bleurgh!
Thu, 08 Dec 2022, 03:24
Jayenkai	Day Eight Degustabox > Reveal 🔎 More balls!!?! I like these balls, though, so that's ok. Beanies > Reveal 🔎 Xmas Pud, with Double Chocolate. Nom nom nom! Funko > Reveal 🔎 Mr Potato Head showed up again, today... -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Thu, 08 Dec 2022, 10:03
rockford	Some good, some not so much (when duplicated ) Day 08 Squishy > Reveal 🔎 A bunny. Squished. Today. Hot Sauce > Reveal 🔎 I have hopes for this one (not high ones, but hopes), as I irregularly buy a Hot Naga chicken naan wrap from Sainsburys, which is absolutely gorgeous and really nice and spicy. My bet is that there's no similarity between these though. \|edit\| I had the Habanero one today. There was a slight tingle on the tongue for a moment, and then it was gone. That was the best so far. Just for those interested, I don't just dip my finger in and lick off the sauce. I use the whole sachet and finish it off completely, by dipping in foodstuffs or pouring it over things. It's never just a sample, but thw whole hog. None is ever wasted. So I've had four or five now. And not one I would have called hot or spicy.
Fri, 09 Dec 2022, 03:06
Jayenkai	Yeah, I think I had the same overall experience with mine, IIRC. Mine went into Pot Noodles, and they really shouldn't have bothered. .. Maybe we're too old for these baby spices! Day Nine Degustabox > Reveal 🔎 Salt. Fun fact : Last year's calendar had a box of Maldon salt. Fun fact 2 : I'd previously bought a box of Maldon salt a couple of years before that. Fun fact 3 : I haven't finished that first box of Maldon salt yet. Fun fact 4 : Last year's calendar salt is still sat in the cupboard, unopened. Beanies > Reveal 🔎 Yule Log and Coconut. Have I mentioned that Coconut's my favourite of these? 'cos it is! Funko > Reveal 🔎 RAWR!! Oh no, that song's in my head again!!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
