Unusual sweet flavours for Halloween - Onion Sweets by Lidl and FlyingTiger

For Halloween, I was impressed that Lidl and FlyingTiger both did these unusual sweet flavours.
Lidl did gummies for 79p while FlyingTiger did beans for 2 quid.

I didn't hesitate to get the Lidl ones because of the price but for Flyingtiger I got them after Halloween when they were half priced.
To summarize, Flying Tiger were executed better as you get 10 flavours in total and each flavour was distinct.
For Lidl, some of the flavours were fused with other flavours which meant you couldn't try the individual flavours properly.
Most comments were on how awful the onion flavour was which both brands had.

Lidl Halloween Scary Mix: orange chilli (two colours), apple chilli (green), vanilla (pale yellow), onion (black), cooling raspberry (red), and ginger (light orange).
There were five flavours that you could try on their own but the orange chilli was stuck to pink base so I had to bite the top part off or you can use a knife to separate it.
Overall, I didn't like the orange chilli because it was the usual orange sweet flavour with a chilli kick, the apple chilli was much the same.
The vanilla was tasty just like ice cream chews and the ginger was in a similar fashion but it lacked a fiery kick.
Last but not least was the onion which was my favourite, it tasted like caramelized onions that you get on hotdogs.
Overall, not bad but I just didn't like the ones with two flavours stuck together and the colours didn't make sense especially for the vanilla which was not white.


Flying Tiger Tricky Beans: 
In the pack, two colours were represented differently where the blue is green and the white is yellow.
The rest corresponded to the flavours.
For the same colour, there are two flavours where I discovered that visually there is a slight difference in size, the smaller ones were the weird flavours.
All four were easily distinguishable except for the yellow which were all the same size.
Oddly, I really enjoyed the bacon and onion.
The chilli was basically chilli and the pepper tasted like Jalapeno.
A bit pricey for 2 quid if you are not a sweet person hence the late review because I waited until today when it was half priced.
