Many many moons in the past Jonny and I have been requested by Large Sweet (we don’t know which explicit purveyor) to spend an hour with considered one of their advertising businesses and speak about the way forward for sweet.
Good of them to hunt out a prime (ahem) sweet opinions website to get sizzling takes on sweets.
(Though I usually puzzled in the event that they knew we have been outdated dudes. Perhaps not apparent till you dig deeper into our website. I’ve to suppose they talked to folks 50 years youthful than us, too. Proper? The children. The individuals who normally purchase sweet. Theymusta.)
Anyway, one factor I very a lot bear in mind in regards to the dialog, is my insistence that spicy sweet was coming in huge, and that sweet makers didn’t wish to miss out on the wave.
Lotta silence on the opposite finish of that cellphone line.
“Huh,” they mentioned. Which sounded identical to, “This man’s a moron.”
Maybe true.
However now?
Nicely let’s simply name it a bit vindication.
Have you ever all seen – or extra importantly – EATen any of the products from Jovy? As a result of if you happen to haven’t, it’s best to.


Jovy is out of Mexico however they promote within the U.S. They’ve a great deal of spicy sweet and un-spicy sweet. A few of which you’ll examine in different Sweet Gurus opinions or on their web site. So I gained’t go into their story right here. Let’s bounce into the products.
Watermelon Rings with a Kick
You’ve had watermelon rings 1,000,000 instances. OK, perhaps 15 instances. However you’ve had peach rings 1,000,000 instances (Jovy makes these additionally on this Chamoy selection) and these, are these. Solely… watch for it…. WAIT….they’re spicy.
The Jovy Chamoy Rings Picante! gots reals warmth. They’re not novelty spice. There’s precise chili throughout these gummies. Chili = pepper. And there’s salt. Just like the spice-rimmed margarita you’re getting in Puerto Vallarta.
And like a deep licorice sweet, you’ll be able to’t simply throw gobs of those in your mouth at one time, chewing like a cow, trying so as to add layers of again fats in a single handful as you I usually do. No. With Jovy’s Chamoy Rings, we eat separately. A number of in a row. And after about 5, we take a break. The identical break we’d take after consuming a slew of tortilla chips and sizzling salsa.
The Chamoy spice warms you up. Which is good. It additionally didn’t get drained. I ate fewer gummies in a single sitting, actually, however I went again for extra. And I count on all of you sweet lovers who enjoyment of flavors which can be rather less than run-o-the-mill may have the same expertise.
The gummy sweet is stable, chewy and semi-tough, whereas the watermelon-meets-chili makes it uniquely scrumptious.
My suggestion: Go to Jovy and purchase these Chamoy Rings Picante! Watermelon taste. Or received to Jovy and purchase the peach ones – they have been simply pretty much as good. And have your self an expertise. Not only a sugar-habit-induced-eating melee like all the opposite nights.
And if you happen to see these advertising individuals who thought I used to be loopy for suggesting spicy sweet was the following huge factor, inform em Matty says “I informed you so.”
