Today's Candy



Name: Plopp
Quantity: 1 bar divided into 6 portions
Description: Mjölkchoklad med ringlande toffeefyllning OR milk chocolate with soft toffee filling

Evaluation: I really wish I knew why this was called plopp. But even after eating it I have no ideas. This candy IS made by a Swedish company, Cloetta, and fortunately they have a website. So this is what else they have to say about Plopp on the website http://www.plopp.se/sv/Hem.aspx
"Plopp is joy and nostalgia. Plopp is successful party with fish pond, rustling bags lie and expectant eyes. Here is a småbusig, Swedish favorite classics with a twinkle in his eye, which faithfully followed us since we were small. The taste and texture of the toffeefyllda milk chocolate is unlike anything else. Was little spontaneous it is time for Plopp. For it is your host."

Okay, that wasn't so helpful.

Grade: 6 out of ten, because the toffee/caramel filling was interesting- it was not solid or chewy like a Risen, but it wasn't runny either like the caramel filling in say, an easter egg. It was good, but again, it didn't knock my socks off.

Lat night I ran from my friend Sara's host family's house to the subway stop by my house which was about 4 stops away so that Anna could try to catch it to HER house... anyway long boring story point is, my hair was really crazy and sweaty last night and I put it up in some kind of twist before bed, and when I woke up, it was really really curly! I love it! So I took a picture.

Here is a picture of my host family's living room. This is mostly for you, mom, because you said you wanted some regular pictures of what things look like, instead of close ups of bugs... :)

  1. I love it!! Thanks, Brita- (I love the bug close-ups too, along with the candy bars, crayfish, and crazy hair.

  2. "Plopp" has to be the worst name for a candy bar ever. The first thing it made me think of was that scene from the movie "Caddyshack" when someone's "Plopp" bar got away from them in the pool...well, you get the idea..LOL

  4. I have always maintained that "Plopp" was a "successful party with fish pond", and it's nice to have my opinion backed by authority in the field.
