Arlequin Original

Arlequin Original is one of those sweet snacks built for people who like assorted candy with a bit of colour and variety rather than one single flavour. By our assessment, the appeal is that mix-and-pick feeling: you get a bright bag of sugar sweets that can keep a bowl lively and never ask for much ceremony. The downside is also the point of the format, because this kind of snack can be more about the idea of variety than about a deep taste. In use, it is a casual handful product, the sort of thing that works at a desk, in a jar, or passed around without explanation. Against chocolates or hard candies, Arlequin Original sits in the looser snacks-sucrés category, and that makes it more playful than precise.
