International Malt Confectionary Battle

Welcome to our first taste test! Our blind-folded mission to seek out the most delicious in our favorite snacks. Our international panel of bloggers have come to discover that not only are all snack foods made the same, there exists a sometimes subtle, often times significant difference in the consistency and tastes of the same products from different countries! One of our first test features the malted milk ball, more specifically commonwealth confectionary treat: the Malteaser. The US equivalent of the Whopper was also brought in the underdog challenger.



This particular taste test took place on 2 coasts between 4 countries and 7 taste testers. New Zealand vs. Canada vs. UK vs. US. National pride was at stake!

Results as follows:
Josh - Canada
Lucy - Canada
Spoon - USA
Steph - USA
Gabe - Canada
Neal - Canada
Jo-Anne - UK



Apparently the great white north emerged victorious in this test, and all but Steph chose a malt ball origin other than their own. The shortly post-expiration date of the New Zealand Malteaser did not appear to be a factor in it's performance here. Next up: Doritos, Tic Tacs, Digestives and ???
