Spice or heat is not something we are typically used to seeing here in the Frigid North, so I can’t really speak to if this is a relatively new phenomenon, but it’s certainly caught my…

Red Band – Dropfruit Duos Sour
I like to try things that scare me. These are the type of snack to wait behind a doorway and jump out at you or anything, but they do have good old salty licorice, which…
