Advantages: Great taste, lots to make with them, good fun sweets! Disadvantages: Bad for your waistline & your teeth, a little waxy.
I am a big lover of sweets so when I was in Asda today I just couldn't stop myself from picking up these sweeties!
The packaging was calling out to me as it's very pretty and girly and I'm in a 'loving pink' kind of mood at the moment (sitting in pink PJs now!).
The laces are a little waxy and take a fair while to chew but the taste of strawberry is there and it's pretty strong, it does taste very nice but if I could improve the product it would be to make the laces less waxy.
I enjoyed mucking around with these, making bracelets with my niece and other various jewellery and just generally playing with our food before we ate it, it's nice to get to act like a child sometimes!
These sweets (as per most) should definitely be enjoyed in moderation as one 70g bag provided 242 calories & 34.3g sugars which is just not good for your ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Strawberry Laces
Advantages: A likeable main character Disadvantages: In a story that doesn't grip the reader
For years now, it has been fairly common knowledge that Richard Bachman and Stephen King are the same man. Recently, however, it has seemed more and more that the person most reluctant to accept this is King himself. That can be the only reason that ?Blaze? has been published under the Bachman name, but ?with a foreword by Stephen King? all over it. After all, that message isn?t going to attract any new readers; if you?re a King fan, you?ll already know this is his writing; if you?re not, that message is going to make you walk away.
There is a warning in the foreword, in that King readily admits that this is a thirty year old novel and that he thought it wasn?t all that good once upon a time, although the intervening years have changed his mind. Maybe he figures that as some of his recent efforts have been a little lacklustre that no ...
Advantages: Nice Cover Disadvantages: Pricey for a short novel
.
Bachman has reared his head since then with a more recent novel called The Regulators which was co-published to coincide with the publication of the accompanying novel in King's own name called Desperation.
And now Blaze.
The Review:
The cover is quite promising, depicting a silhouette of a large bird soaring through the sky, Stephen King's name in gaudy red letters like blood dripping. And the title, Blaze along the bottom, I was so excited, a new King book, with a good snappy title, and a nice fetching cover.
I hate to give too much of a plot away, and so will just give you the bare bones: Blaze is Clay Blaisdell, he is a big guy who until recently ran a couple of harmless cons with his mate George Rackley, George the brains of the outfit wants to pull 'one big con' so that they're set for life, he comes up with the idea but then ...
