At the beginning of 2020, the brand launched a new mango chili salt flavor, and it has been taking the market by storm until now. Following this launch, the KICO brand also introduced its own mango chili salt candy, Annabella.
So, between these two brands, which candy tastes better and which has a better design? Let’s find out with Bach Hoa XANH in the article below.
1 Packaging and Candy Design
Annabella and Alphalibe Candy
At first glance, there is a slight resemblance between the designs of Annabella and Alpenliebe candies, as both brands opted for a similar color scheme. The predominant colors are light green, reminiscent of unripe mangoes, and red-orange, representing the chili salt.
Once you peel back the wrapper, you might not be able to tell the candies apart, as both have a light green exterior and a chili salt center.
However, upon closer inspection, you’ll notice that Alpenliebe’s packaging exhibits a more refined color scheme. The green is slightly darker, creating a stronger contrast and a closer resemblance to the color of unripe mangoes. This clever use of color stimulates the consumer’s taste buds even before they open the wrapper.
2 Flavor
The first difference between these two candies lies in their chili salt fillings. Biting into an Alpenliebe candy, you’ll find a powdery chili salt layer that delivers a subtle blend of salty and spicy flavors, perfectly balanced to replicate the experience of eating real mangoes with chili salt.
On the other hand, Annabella candy features a thick and sticky sauce that clings to the candy, intensifying the chili salt flavor and making it last longer.
The second distinction is in the mango flavor of the candies. While Alpenliebe offers a tangy, slightly sweet mango taste, Annabella leans more towards the flavor of ripe mangoes. This variation in mango flavors may be a bit unusual for some palates.
Ultimately, the preference between these two candies depends on individual taste preferences. If you favor a milder, slightly sour taste, Alpenliebe might be your candy of choice over Annabella.
We hope that this article has provided valuable insights into these new candies on the market. May your taste buds lead you to the perfect treat!
