Galaxy Ripple Chocolate

5/21/2013

Comments

 
World of Snacks is off to a new destination, the island of Ireland in the United Kingdom.  Well, at least we think that is where we are going.  We are reviewing the Galaxy Ripple, a candy bar that is discreetly owned by one of the world's leading food manufactures, Mars.
Galaxy Ripple
Mars Incorporated is the 3rd largest privately held company in the United States, and is entirely owned buy the Mars Family.  Galaxy, the company listed on the packaging is one of several products to hint to the Mars parent company by using an astronomical name.  So why do we think this US based company is producing an Irish Snack?  Well, the Galaxy Ripple is manufactured in Ireland.  To add to the confusion, the Ripple was initially debuted in England in the 1960s.  Mars later purchased the Ripple in 1986 and moved it's manufacturing facilities to Ireland.   Now that you are genuinely confused, let's get to the facts that everyone can understand.

From the packaging of the ripple it was clear to see that this was something that will be flakey, and hopefully delicious.  The Galaxy Ripple comes in a long slender wrapper that is elegant and pictures the interior snack through the word "ripple" spelled out along the length of the package.   Although not a stunning presentation, you know even before opening the Ripple that you are in for something special.  So let's see how it tastes!

With my background growing up in England one of my all time favorite snacks is the Cadbury Flake, and the Galaxy Ripple appears to be along the same lines, just covered in an additional layer of smooth milk chocolate.  This candy bar has a flakey center, or as I imagine Mars prefers, a rippled center!  It's folded chocolate, encased in an outer layer of milk chocolate.  Being I am a big fan of Flake, I assumed I'd truly enjoy the Ripple.  The Galaxy Ripple hints to Cadbury's Flake, but is it's own unique experience.  While eating the snack I really enjoyed it, then an over-powering sweetness weighed in as a part of the after taste.  Overall I really liked this snack from Ireland, but being spoiled by the Flake I felt it was just too sweet.  Our other tasters did disagree though, they thought the sweetness was just right and raved about the candy bar.

Will World of Snacks include the Galaxy Ripple in the launch of our international snacks store that is slated later this year?  We hope that it will make the cut, but currently we are unsure if Ireland and Irish snacks will be included in the launch.  We may try and sneak the Ripple in as an English Snack, but the final decision is yet to be determined.  If you'd like to be notified of our official launch and receive a special discount be sure to submit your details to the right.
