We have been asked by one of our many salubrious PR friends, knowing our influence, if we would like to review the two new varieties of BEAR Yo Yos – namely Apple and Pineapple for her ………
…….. which is not only very, very exciting but also a great honour, because the packs she sent us are pre-production, which means we could be among the first people in the world to nom try them!
We have digested the blurb robustly and though hard to believe, a single Apple or Pineapple BEAR Yo Yo counts as one of your five-a-day, a regime, which as you know, we pride ourselves on following rigorously.
They are made with 100% pure fruit and absolutely nothing else, which means that they are fat free and packed with fibre thus preventing a grumbly gut half way through an intensive rush photocopying and laminating team meeting!
On first impression, if we are honest, they do look like something Ant and Dec would give you in a bush tucker trial …. ……. but they really are nomtastic; the flavours are so “full on” and you can really tell that nothing extra has been added.
My favourite flavour of choice was the apple, which I liked to unwind slowly, tearing off little pieces to nibble at my leisure in a gentile manner
….. however both Darrell and Nigel liked to unwind their Yo Yos fully and then suck them up like a piece of spaghetti, rather uncouth, but then, what are they both like?!!!! Nigel very much appreciated the exotic-ness of the pineapple flavour, while Darrell waxed lyrical about the strawberry flavour bringing to mind hot summers days (without the cream naturally)
In each pack there is also a free nature fact card which we gave Nigel to collect and help with his education …..
….. he now knows that to escape the grip of a crocodiles jaws he needs to push his thumbs into its eyeballs, thus releasing himself instantly, not an every day occurrence in Wolverhampton admittedly, but forewarned is forearmed! (unless the said crocodile has bitten off your arms already!!)
Nigel has also shown an unhealthy obsessional interest in the Yo Yos packaging which appears to show a bear attired only in what seems to be a fig leaf …..
Oh Olivia …… what have you started? Nigel now wants to forgo wearing his pants …… and assume an on trend, carefully positioned piece of foliage to accommodate and cover his accouterments ……….he says that it will make his “bits” feel “100% natural” ….. good grief, saints alive and heaven help us!!!

i like the packaging and they sound fab i bet kids will love these in their lunch box's and great they have cards to collect i will be out and about looking for these to jump in my bag you have to watch out for caterpillars while wearing leafs lol take care big 5 aday love Marc
These healthy snacks seems to have a high nom score and that's a win win situation all round. Perhaps Nigel's leaf fascination would disappear if he saw the downside to the au naturale leaf wearing. On rainy days he could literally be soaked to the skin. On breezy days when the cold wind doth blow, it could be quite uncomfortable, even frosty. Also, on hot full sun days, a sunburn could be painful on one's delicate areas. Food for thought. Best healthy noming wishes....Dianne
I hope you digested the Yo Yos as easily as you digested the blurb. I trust the digestion of the blurb didn't entail Nigel eating the paper.
P.S. Coincidentally, I spoke to someone yesterday who told me of someone who got bit on the arm the day before by a Nile Crocodile. Lots of blood flowed.
The idiot did poke the beast with a stick and was keeping it behind a low metal fence in Egypt. Rather like the bullfighters who come off second best, he got his come-uppance.
They are nice n tasty and i love them. However on dietry websites such as my.fitnesspal etc the vitc content is Na. Am i just eating sugar? Rsvp
