Tirol Chocolate – Mochi Ranger Mix
I’ve had a lot of Tirol in my time, and there have been a lot of winners, and a few losers. By far the best “archetype” that Tirol does, at least in my opinion is…
Author: zbearviking
From the frigid, majestic North (Canada), hails a creature like no other. Is it a bear that took up viking-ing? Or a viking that turned into a bear? Perhaps it is beyond human comprehension what the creature truly is, much like Bigfoot or Nessie. What we do know, is that much like everything else in the universe, it is made of star stuff.
Nongshim – Spicy Shrimp Crackers
Ah yes, shrimp crackers. An ever popular pastime snack for Asian families everywhere, and a big part of my upbringing despite growing up on the frigid North. To say it’s an acquired taste would be…

Lakrids by Bülow – No. 3 Red
Hipster licorice. Two words I’d never thought I’d put together, and even less likely to be something I’d ever try. I really don’t know how else to describe this stuff. It’s about as pricey as…
Haitai – Bbasea Crispy Shrimp Chips
I feel like shrimp based snacks are one of those things that is very much rooted in culture. Growing up with them, it’s just a part of our potential options of snacks. It wasn’t until…
Meiji – Poifull Fruit Mix
Jelly beans get a bad rap. Most people I talk to express disgust when offered them, often citing how they get stuck to your teeth or they are too sweet, or the flavour is on…
