Fujiya – Dole Gummy Candy Double Grape
Fujiya is a brand I associate mostly with chocolate – from their Milky products with the ever creepy Peko Chan mascot, or the Country Ma’am cookie line, they seem to do well with the dairy…

Tirol Chocolate – Petite Mix
Part of why I enjoy following Tirol releases is because of the consistency in their sizing. It’s that same consistency that makes something like today’s product fascinating. I don’t particularly find Tirol enjoyable because of…
