race-to-win day 7 of the advent calendar edition

Good Day Wonderful People, 
 
Day 7, here we come. Where does the time go? 2020 went by so quickly, it flew right in front of my eyes. Could something along the lines of a pandemic have anything to do with it? Hmmmmm, you bet it does. At least there is always chocolate to uplift everyone’s spirits. It certainly always makes me smile. Nevertheless, enjoy today’s post, comment, and perhaps, go out and buy yourself a chocolate, any kind you fancy. Please leave the guilt behind. You deserve it. Be kind and gentle with yourself.

Let the Race-To-Win Begin



NO WHEY FOODS ADVENT CALENDAR - Day 7
 
Day 7 of No Whey Food’s Advent Calendar is of course, no other than filth, and I am being literal about using that word. Yes, you heard right. I cannot stress enough as to how repulsing these chocolates are. Please refrain from purchasing this Advent Calendar, even if it’s façade looks cute. I do not want you to come back to me and say “I told you so.”

Fun and Appropriate Theme of Box: Bolstering

Is the Advent Calendar Holding Up in its Form and Shape: Day 7 is falling apart

Ease of Opening Each Daily Box: Quite Easy although the boxes are getting more difficult
Chocolate: 
            Exterior Appearance: Suffocating
            Smooth: Yes, but there is an olden appearance to the bon bon
            Textured: No
            Salty: No
            Overly Sweetened: Yes, diabetic sweetener, heart disease, cancer…. 
            Grainy: Yes
            Different: Yes, and yuckiness to its core
            Stale: Out-of-date

The nightmare  continues

WINDEL ADVENT CALENDAR “Your World of Sweet Gifts”- Day 7
 
The Windel Advent Calendar is one of the worst Advent Calendars I have ever come across, okay, fine, it is probably the worse. What else can I say today that might be of some positive value. Oh, I know, the Santa on the box is cute however, the box itself is of the flimsiest nature. I cannot even deal with Windel today. This Advent Calendar is slowing giving me PTSD. I will be marked for life! Therapy anyone?

            Smooth: Yes
            Textured: No
            Salty: No
            Overly Sweetened: Yesssssssssss, cardiovascular disease sweet
            Grainy: Yesssssssss
            Different: Oh yes, in a stifling way
            Stale: Tastes Stale, and more stale, okay, did I mention stale
            Boring: Stale, again, stale again

LAURA SECORD ADENT CALENDAR – Day 7
 
Day 7 of the Laura Secord Advent Calendar offers a caramel bon bon that has been sweetened like there is no tomorrow. The chocolate makers at Laura Secord just decided to dump pounds and pounds of sugar in their mixture on evening just for the fun of it. Oh, and to make matters worse, they also threw in some strange mixture thinking it would yield fantastic chocolate. Quite the contrary my friends. The taste of the bon bons in this Advent Calendar could not have been made any worse, well, actually Windel’s Advent Calendar kind of took that place so perhaps there is hope, really?

NESTLE NORTH POLE ADVENT CALENDAR – Day 7
 
KitKat with very little wafer is what Nestle’s North Pole Advent Calendar has surprised us with today. I will admit, the size of the mini is quite large. This was pleasant to see.

    Affordable but still Savory

    This blog page is dedicated to inexpensive chocolates that are continuously, to this day, enjoyed daily by many chocolate lovers out there. I still happily delve my taste buds into a good old-fashioned, so tasty, and yet simple Mr. Goodbar. To top it off, the cost allows for a much "Sweeter" satisfaction on your fuller wallet!
