(More customer reviews)The title above refers not only to a semi-obscure Damon Runyan-based movie with Bob Hope (we ALL knew that), but to these classic lemon drops with a truly international pedigree:
Made in Spain; owned by the French(Cadbury France, located at 143 Boulevard Romain Rolland, Paris; imported by New Jersey's own "Euro-American Brands," Paramus, NJ07652.
All the way from Paris to your local candy seller or movie theater (which is where I experieced my first taste of La Vie en Lemon).They were everything a lemon drop should be: A sugary entrance, developing into a deeply satisfying, soul-stirring essence of pure lemon. The mouth-watering joy of the lemon drop is seductive and addictive, and I am nearly certain that sucking on these golden gems made Kurosawa's "Savage Dogs" even more enjoyable.
They're hard candies. but not so hard that you couldn't cheat and bite into one, breaking it up into ten or so smaller candies, zig-zagging around your mouth like offshoots from a single magnificent fireworks explosion.
One 2-ounce tin lasted longer than the 2 hours or so of Kurosawa's brilliant detective drama, one of his first with Toshiro Mifune, who once again delivers a compelling performance.Although the packaging is a bit precious, there's nothing pretentious about the taste of Les Citrons, and as for value, these drops are the working man or woman's workhorse.They're far less expensive than other candy (to say nothing of popcorn), and their staying power is extraordinary.
Still, this vendor charges more than some others, and with the added shipping fee one may wish to purchase theseat a local outlet (or occupying it until your lemon drop demands are met). If you're serious about your lemon drops, tt's Paris 1968 all over again.
Nutritional Information per Package (30 pieces; you could try to eat the suggested serving size of 3 drops, but I find this highly unlikely). 240 calories, no fat or sodium, 60 grams carbohydrates, 60 grams of sugar, no protein, and no trace of food allerges. Sugar, corn syrup, citric acid, natural flavor, and tumoric for color. THh lemon-decorated little tin adds a touch of Europe to any room, and is ideal for holding cuff links, tickets, keys, small, delicate make-up products, or quarters for the laundry.To paraphrase the great Margaret Dumont:
"Les Citrons, Toujours...Les Citrons!"
