Simba - Ghost Pops Original

Well i've been waiting to get my hands on these babies for a long time now. But did they live up to the expectations? Read on fearless fans...

All the way from Cape Town, my good friend Greg has been banging on about Ghost pops for years, but every time he returns home and buys me a pack - they've disappeared from his suitcase as if by magic? Sounds pretty ghostly to me...

These are a Saffa classic that all South Africans will know from their childhood.

They are very monster munch like, so I do feel a little bit of nostalgia attached to them all the same. The texture is very monster munch like, a crisp outer layer with a softer crunch as you go through the crisp, they're thicker than monster munch so takes a little longer for those gnashers to get through. The flavour is the epitome of TANGY. 
They're very tomato-ey in a very similar way to tangy toms, but have a fullsome spice underlay - which is subtle but warming. The tomato has a slightly bbq edge to it, and is a really complete flavour that can only be compared closely to tangy toms, but tangy toms are sweeter. I have to hand it to him, they are a good crisp. The packaging is old skool, the bag is big, the name is great and the flavour moreish.

Either buy a ticket to South Africa, or go to the south african shop in Liverpool Street, your choice.

9/10
