Expert's verdict...3/10 ? This product has not got a prayer in the UK market. I can't see it making it for a number of reasons. For a start, what are they for? There's no information on the packets to say when they should be eaten, or how many. This could be a worry given they may appeal to children. What would happen if a six-year-old were to eat a packet? They could be a good idea for longer hikes, I suppose, but why not just take some Kendal Mint Cake? These sweets are just packed with sugar and are very sharp. I just don't see them being a success here. Nigel Ashton, category controller, Nisa-Today's Consumer's verdict...5/10 ?The packa ging is appealing and seems to combine a feeling of taste and science in one. But there was n't nearly enough information about the beans. I wouldn't have had a clue who or what they were for had it not been for the extra information I received. They were a welcome energy boost after an early morning run, but were too acidic. There are plenty of healthier, cheaper and tastier options on offer. For people going trekking or cross-country skiing, their portability means they'd probably be a good bet. But not for those of us just running along Plymouth Hoe.
