School is out and we kids have been doing the summer vacation types of things in Sayulita. There has been a lot of swimming, both in the ocean and in people's pools...and eating candy.
Two days ago my friends, Sarah, Amarely and Jeshua and I decided to test a bunch of different candies. We tried a few different types of candies. There is a candy store on nearly every street in Sayulita. We went to the one called Tienda Wendy which is three houses down on my street. We bought some things I don't usually buy to be adventurous.
Pelonetes are chewy, fruity balls a lot like skittles. There is also some chile in the candy and other different flavors. There is orange which is orange, red which is chile, yellow which is lemon and green which is apple. All the Pelonetes have lots of chile in them and they are very sour.
Lucas Gusano is a liquid candy; it tastes like chile and the fruit chamoy. It comes in a little squeeze bottle and you squirt it onto your hand or straight into your mouth. It is very sour, but good!
I really like Nutresa, which is a chocolate wrapped in foil to look like a soccer ball. It is very chocolatey and you can play with it. We rolled it around and played with it before we ate it. It is small but very good; my friends rated it an eight, I rated it a ten!
Action Hero candy was not a candy any of us liked. It was dry and chalky and tasted like vitamins. It looked like vitamins. If it was vitamins, maybe it would have been good. We all only ate one piece.
Pelón Pelo Rico Tamarindo is a sweet jelly that you have to push down to get the jelly to pop out. When you push it down it looks like the candy bottle is growing hair! It tastes like chile and is sour; it is fun to eat.
Sinaloense Peputoria De Cacahuate is crunchy with lots of peanuts and some carmel. It is just like peanut brittle. I think that there should be more caramel. It is shaped like a rectangle and is crisp.
Marzipan is a sugary peanut butter-tasting candy that is soft, shaped like a circl, and is easily to crumple up. I think this is the greatest candy ever. My friends and I gave it a ten, except Jeshua who gave it an 8 - he really likes chocolate more. He said it would be good with chocolate milk!
Lucas Muecas are like strawberry ring pops but have sour powdered chile and chamoy to dip them in. It is quite spicy and you put it with the powder and you make a funny face. Sarah really likes this; she gave it a perfect score.
Carlos V is a chocolate candy bar. My friends all rate the Carlos V a 10 because it has a good kind of texture and the chocolate is very good. It is easy to share because it is indented, which makes it easier to break in individual pieces.
In Sayulita we do the usual kid things everyone does on summer vacation. Hanging out with friends, swimming and eating candy. Our candy is just a little bit spicier than most!
