Meiji – Brown Sugar Chocolate Almonds

Brown sugar is one of the things that Okinawa is famous for, so obviously they had to find a way to incorporate that into a chocolate almond. I sort of wonder what the craziest thing…

Tirol Chocolate – Italian Gelato Mix

Tirol Chocolate – Italian Gelato Mix

It has dawned on me that the summer that passed a few months ago, I consumed a record low amount of ice cream and gelato. I’m not really sure why that is, but it’s something…

NoochPop – Kinda Garlic & Cheesy

NoochPop – Kinda Garlic & Cheesy

NoochPop is what I would consider the healthier side of snacking. It has all these labels and things indicating that it’s healthier or a better way to snack. As I’ve always said, taste is ultimately…

Calbee – Charm Prawn Cracker Truffle Flavour

Calbee – Charm Prawn Cracker Truffle Flavour

Bourbon – Hi-Chocolate Truffe Strawberry

Bourbon – Hi-Chocolate Truffe Strawberry

Toppo – Rich Matcha

Toppo – Rich Matcha

I feel like I’ve slowed down on my Toppo hype train in the past while, and I chalk it up to the brand being less adventurous with new flavours. Even a lot of their seasonal…

Mintia – Pudding

Mintia – Pudding

Mintia is one of those long established brands that is not afraid to go for some weird, unexpected flavours. They also do a pretty solid job of replicated said strange and weird flavours, so it’s…

Angie’s BOOMCHICKAPOP – Sweet Chili Puffs

Angie’s BOOMCHICKAPOP – Sweet Chili Puffs

I’ve had a couple of Angie’s products at this point, and lemme tell you, that nice old lady sure knows how to do popcorn and popcorn adjacent snacks. I mean, technically her company has been…

Doritos Cup Style – Smoked Cheese

Doritos Cup Style – Smoked Cheese

Another entry into the weird Doritos flavour is the cup style. I wonder if this is one of those chicken and egg scenarios where the Japanese team decided, should we use a cup and make…

Ritter Sport – Choco Cubes
