Meiji – Brandy & Orange Peel Chocolate

Meiji – Brandy & Orange Peel Chocolate

Hi-Chew – Crispy Watermelon

Hi-Chew – Crispy Watermelon

I think it’s safe to say that I’m now at a point where I am grasping at straws as far as trying new Hi-Chew flavours is. Apart from really gimmicky and seasonal flavours, there’s not…

Bourbon – Konayuki Chocolate

Bourbon – Konayuki Chocolate

Sun Chips – French Onion

Sun Chips – French Onion

Zelico – The Caramel Hokkaido Fresh Cream

Zelico – The Caramel Hokkaido Fresh Cream

Hi-Chew Premium – White Peach
