Anybody ever have these?
These shits are bomb. They're like....the Asian version of Starburst. But with a more gummy texture.

THOSE ARE SO GOOD. I LOVE THOSE D:
I never knew they were called "HI CHEW" though. The ones I buy are packaged in whatever language it is. |

I luuuuurve Hi-Chew. I also love Sugus, which is in reality more like Starburst than Hi-Chew, but tastier. :)

I totally thought of Carrie when I saw the title of this topic LOL!
Anyway, back on topic... I'm not a huge fan of candy, but I do occasionally crave these!! Despite how they totally stick to my teeth and I feel self-conscious afterwards... |

There are brands I think but this is the main one I see. I bought Hi-Chew and some other brand today but I forget the name and I left the wrapper in my car since I killed it on the way home ;D |

QUOTE(ArjunaCapulong @ Aug 26 2008, 08:09 PM) Dang is that supposed to taste like grapes? They come pretty close. I agree with Moni; you must try some one day! Apple, grape (red grape), kiwi, lychee, melon, muscat (green grape), pineapple, peach, strawberry, orange, prune, blueberry -- take your pick. There's even a multi-flavor pack. Dang, I sound so excited. I love Kasugai gummies. QUOTE(nikx618 @ Aug 26 2008, 08:17 PM) those things are so good too. i really like the strawberry kind, again. I like all the flavors they have to offer, but have yet to try prune or blueberry. They're chewy and delicious, and don't stick to your teeth, either. As for Hi-Chew, my favorite flavors are grape and apple, but I don't recall trying any others. |

The pack of Hi-Chews seems to disappear by the time we get home from the supermarket. Either that, or there are only one or two left.

Strawberry ones are good. But the mango ones are disgusting.
I have a pack right now and can't finish it 'cause it tastes so bad. |

My friend went to Japan and bought those jumbo packs, and earlier this summer, we just sat on her couch eating them one right after another.

The Japanese packs are bigger than the Chinese packs- there’s about 8 pieces in the Chinese packs and about 12 pieces in the Japanese packs. I pay 100 yen (about $1.00US) a pack at the Tokyo Narita airport, and 10 NTD (about $0.30US) for the smaller Chinese version pack. You can also buy a three pack for around one US dollar in Taiwan. Now you see why I don’t buy Hi-Chew in the States often.
I always keep a lookout for new and unique flavors whenever I’m in Taiwan (which used to be yearly for family visits and later for an internship but promises to be far less now that I’m graduated and bound to be starting work once I find a job) and in the Japan Tokyo Narita airport for the now required layover since I can usually only find the basic flavors here. This time around I tried Lychee, Cantaloupe, and...Golden Kiwi. The Lychee was tasty- a good fresh lychee flavor. Lychee is a good candy flavor to pull off because of its strong distinct flavor. I like asian Cantaloupe flavored candy because it’s such a fragrant flavor- Hi-Chew was no exception. Nice and fragrant and just like the real thing- you could even taste the part near the rind. Note: try Wrigley’s Extra Cantaloupe flavored gum next time you find it in an Asian store or are in Taiwan/China (not sure if Japan has it). Delicious. I found golden kiwi in the Tokyo Narita Airport. I also saw the Tropical Fruit flavor but didn’t get because the Kiwi flavor was more unique. I hear some chatter here about a Kiwi flavor with black dots in it to simulate seeds- this is not it. I suspect that’s the original green flavor. The most notable difference between green and yellow (golden) kiwis other than color is that green kiwis are usually tart while yellow kiwis are sweet and mild. This version is solid yellow on the inside and get this- the wrapper is a nice shiny gold as advertised on the wrapper, though in Japanese. Very tasty flavor, good kiwi notes. Other flavors I've tried are Strawberry, Grape, Green Grape (aka Muscat- betcha didn't know there were 2 grape flavors!), Orange, Apple, Lemon, Peach Yogurt, Blueberry Yogurt, Strawberry Yogurt, Mango. Flavors I've seen or heard about but not tried: Tropical Fruit, Grapefruit, Valencia Orange, Yuzu (a citrus fruit), Aloe Yogurt (which sounds really weird), Pineapple, Banana, Banana amd Chocolate, various soda flavors including cola which I think may only be available in Japan. |
