Actual first impression (I recorded myself):
Oh my, the chocolate is weak. The rice crispies aren’t crispy
at all. Its kinda soggy. <takes a
bite of one of the crispies>. Oh
wait, it is kinda crispy. It’s the wafer! Unlike some other wafers like Rebisco’s
wafer and some other brand did the chocolate covered wafer well. This one, the
wafer is soggy. <takes bite>. I
think the idea here is basically you have a lot of chocolate-flavored goodies (*
the wafer and crispies) so that you can have less quality chocolate coating.
Apparently Goya wanted to remove a letter of 'choco' to save on money, and while sounding hipster at the same time.
Initially, Max^3 looked pretty good. The chocolate coating
was nice dark chocolate brown but when I touched it there was something off. It
felt a little greasy which hinted to the taste later. When halved the inside
look good as well. There were several layers of wafer with chocolate filling.
The rice crispies that covered it look good too. They had a hint of brown which
is probably the chocolate flavor.
Taking my first bite, the first thing I noticed was the lack
of chocolate flavor. Sugar is the main ingredient of Max^3 but it wasn’t sweet.
The chocolate barely tasted like chocolate but tasted more like oil, a normal
taste for cheaper chocolates. The wafer wasn’t crispy and wasn’t a sugar wafer
which I was expecting for a snack like this. In fact it was a little soggy, and
ruined the feel of the snack. The crunch came mostly from the rice crispies,
which did taste a little like chocolate.
I didn’t enjoy it. I was expecting a competitor to choco
mucho, which is a classic Filipino snack. I got the big bar, there was a
smaller bar half the weight (20g) and size of this bar.
