I have been a fan of Asterix for a long time. I had the films on VHS, got most of the books, some of the toys and collectibles, and practised drawing them. To this day if I see something Asterix themed I'm tempted by it. The adorable Dogmatix money box, and a trip to Parc Asterix when I have the funds is currently up the top of that list!
One thing I could afford however was some Asterix Popping powder, which is based on the magic potion that gave them their strength!

I love the design of the packaging, and I was a bit sad about having to cut it open.
I wondered if it might have a taste of the actual magic potion but after looking up what some of its ingredients might be, which includes herbs and lobster, I am slightly doubting this.

The sticker I got was Mrs Geriatrix. I was hoping for an Asterix or Obelix sticker, but I would think those would be the rarer ones and I would have been lucky to get one of those on my first purchase.
The popping candy itself in mainly pink and smells sweet and yummy.
On trying it, it has a lovely creamy strawberry flavour with a slight sourness that gets stronger as you get close to the bottom of the packet.
I want a few more of the stickers and for the price I bought it (under a pound) for the popping candy plus a sticker, it's a great price. The only disappointing thing is that it didn't give me super human strength. Maybe you have to eat more than one packet for it to take effect...
