My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.
Key lime pie is my favorite dessert, so my boss got me a little box of artisinal key lime candies for Christmas, but they don't even taste even remotely like candy. They're acrid and chemically, and they coat your tongue. They're like cough drops without the menthol.
Lemon pledge.
They taste like lemon pledge wood polish; if you've ever sprayed a table and some of the aerosol wafted into your mouth, then you know exactly what these candies taste like. It's less a flavor, per se, and more a very strong scent that you feel way in the back of your throat.
It's like the sour apple spray vets use to keep pets from biting furniture, or the bitterant they coat switch cartridges with so little kids won't put them in their mouths.
If you gave this to me blindfolded, I would not immediately assume this was meant to be eaten; this is not an inviting flavor. Maybe it's just a bad batch, but the box has contact info on it and I feel the need to be that bitch and let somebody know what I think.
