Hello, friends! Today we will tast the cotton wool “chick” sweet sugar. In childhood, this was one of the favorite treats, but only now you understand how useless it is, or even harmful. After all, in fact, except sugar and dyes in this product, there is nothing!
1. Product: cotton wool sweet with the taste of the banana “Chick”
2. Manufacturer: PE “Solodny Potik”, Donetsk region., G. Makeevka, st. Transport, 1b. Production capacity: Donetsk region., G. Makeevka, st. Chernihiv, 25. Produced to order: LLC Dominanta Food, g. Kyiv, Bouleving. M. Primichenka, 3

4. Buying date: 12.06.2013
5. Product price: 2.62 UAH.
6. Ingredients: Sugar is white crystalline, an amplifier of the taste and aroma of “banana”, contains E-102.
Here you have confirmation of the “usefulness” of the product! If everything is clear with sugar, since this is the main ingredient for the production of sweet cotton wool, then the flamber of the taste and aroma of the “banana”, which is apparently obviously unnatural origin, should not please us!
E-102 (tartrazin) is generally considered dangerous for health! This is a yellow dye, which by its nature is nothing more than a coal gum. The consequences of its use can be very different: from headaches and allergic reaction to the formation of cancerous tumors! Note, the product is positioned as sweet, first of all, for children! Tell me, what a sane parent will buy this product to his child?!

9. Marking. In the above photo, you can make sure that all the information about the product is applied to the label: composition, value, mass, TU, storage conditions, manufacturer data. There is a small complaint to applying the date of wool production. It is squeezed out on a pounder of packaging, which can impede the identification of numbers, although it is worth noting that in our case all the numbers are clearly visible, so we will not reduce the assessment yet.
By the way, and the product is expired! Vata shelf life 4 months. We bought it on the 12th. Two days ago she was supposed to withdraw from sale! But this is already a shortcoming of a trading network!
10. Net mass (on packaging): 15g (-9%)
eleven. Gross mass in fact: 18g
12. Packaging mass: 5g
Total, clean weight of cotton wool was 13 grams. Even given the deviations in the mass of 9%, the cotton wool in fact turned out to be less than stated, so not a big underweight is present.
13. Type and aroma. In the package was such a yellow sweet wool roller. Color, we know, gave the dye, but light banana notes, which are quite difficult to catch, gave an amplifier of taste! So we are deceived, comrades… The only natural in all this splendor is a pronounced sugar aroma.
But there are no complaints about the product texture. Light, resembling cotton, sugar wool, which begins to stick together when squeezing.
14. Taste. Very sweet, even cloying, viscous and seriously chewing consistency! Why did we love her so in childhood? Mystery. We could not catch the banana in taste. Perhaps a little amplifier was added! Although, this is for the better!
