It was unlike anything I had ever tasted before. It's basically gummy rose flavored candy wrapped in chocolate. It's strange, but not so strange that I hate it- in fact, now I'm hooked. I've been buying these at every other Scottish festival I've attended for that past year. Then, today, I was searching the internet to see if there was anywhere I could buy them online and I inadvertently ran across this bazaar television ad for this delightfully sweet treat.
I did find several places that sell these online but I have decided that maybe I love them so much because I only get them a couple times a year (kind of like Cadbury Eggs) so I will be limiting my Turkish Delight purchases to events that include massive gatherings of people in kilts.
*Special thanks to Amy for convincing me that nothing bad would happen if I took a bite of one of these. I can haz candeez?
That video!!!! LOL!!! How did anyone ever think that would help them sell their product?!?!?! "Full of Eastern Promise" even though the actors are obviously Western??? Amazing! Thanks for sharing another gem from the 80s.

WEIRD video! The packaging is so startling and childish beside all the sexual Turkish tension.
