Tirol Chocolate – Seven Cafe Ice Cafe Latte
It’s been well established by now that convenience stores like 7-11, Family Mart and Lawson’s run most of Japan at this point. They are so prevalent and convenient that you could probably just live off…

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?

FRANK – Sweet Gummies Mix
It’s a good thing that I am in the habit of sharing. I’m not sure what else I would do with this giant bag of gummies that’s over a pound heavy. This thing has heft,…
Tirol Chocolate – School Lunch Dessert Mix
School lunches were pretty basic when I was a kid. And by basic I mean depressing. To be fair, our school was so small we couldn’t afford a cafeteria, so the “eat in” option was…
