Pascall Clinkers Minis
I can’t get enough of Australian chocolate or something, so here’s some more. Pascall must have seen how much money Mars are making from Revels here and so made their own version of them, and here we have mini Clinkers. Now let’s find our favourite centre!
So I wiki’d Pascall and it reverted to a grape. Oh well, that’s all the research I’m doing. There are three colours on the front – green, pink and yellow, and there’s nowhere saying which colour is which flavour, or if there are any others or anything. Ya know I like mystery and all but come on, couldn’t you give us a hint Pascall?
Supposedly Pascall turns moments into memories. What does that even mean? Why are they telling us this? Who cares? Like, they go to the effort of putting this on every pack of these mini Clinkers and there must be a reason for this. Are they trying to make it seem like they have some sort of amazing reputation? Are they trying to make all the old grannies go “awww” and buy them? Can I rant anymore?
So I poured them all out without eating any of them and there we go. I then bit into one and what the hell? It’s crunchy, brittle, I can’t bite through it! All the chocolate breaks off and I’m left with some hard green stuff which is kinda minty. Eww, it doesn’t taste great and it hurts my teeth like a teeth hurting machine. I bite through another, goddamnit mint again. I bite another, whoa that was soft, and it’s pink! Tastes…kinda like strawberry, only artificial and crap. I bite another and it’s yellow! And it tastes like…eww, pineapple. Gross!
Oh man, these suck. These suck hardcore. The stuff in the middle is bloody awful, it reminds me of honeycomb only much harder, and the taste is just not good for any of them. The chocolate is cheap and tasteless too. Well Pascall gave me memories alright. Freaking crappy memories, and I’m passing them onto all of you. Pascall is a subsidiary of Cadbury too, now are you disappointed?

Pascall make a lot of confectionary in NZ, and a little for AU, these, I have never seen here, so I’m guessing they’re from the Australian side of things. Apparently, they make memories, because they made the most popular Kiwi lollies ever, Jafas, Sparkles, Cool Fruits and Snifters. There’s been a HUGE protest recently about them Axing all of the above apart from Jafas.

I love Clinkers! The whole point of them is 2 play the Clinker game. You take a clinker, say out loud which colour you think you’ll get. You then bite into the clinker and see if ur correct. Once you’ve eaten the clinker all those who guesses the correct colour take another clinker.

What is wrong with you??
Okay, maybe it is an Australian thing, but if so right now I’m glad to be Australian.
Clinkers are great!
I don’t know about this “mini” business, I’ve never seen them before, but my mother fairly often will bring home a packet and anyone in the house gets excited.
As stated above, half the point of Clinkers is to play the Clinker Game of guessing which one you have! For your information, this is what might “turn moments into memories”. Everyone I know had a childhood full of Clinker fun.
Not to mention, I don’t know what was wrong with your packet, but Clinkers aren’t that hard. Do you have weak/sensitive teeth?
You raise only one valid argument: I actually have no freaking clue what the flavours are meant to be. But you know why? They’re colours, not flavours. And no one cares.
Clinkers taste good, and they are fun.
Australia could teach you a thing or two about those two factors (don’t even get me started on Arnott’s…).

I’m an Aussie Clinker hater. There, its out, I’ve said it. They shouldn’t be hard though. I think perhaps your pack got stale somehow. Never tried mini clinkers though. My daughter did love the clinker game despite my best efforts not to buy them.
Pascal’s choc eclairs are my fave of all their lollies, nothing beats that yummy centre oozing out.

Eating clinkers as I type. I love them! Whoever wrote the review, you obviously don’t get it. Eating clinkers is an experience and I have many great memories of letting clinkers answer questions (like a magic 8 ball – green means yes) or playing the guessing game with friends.

the clinkers game is awesome, you ask someone a question and if its red-yes, green-no or yellow-maybe, its awesome
