Sun Chips – French Onion

Sun Chips – French Onion

I still remember the first time I had French Onion Sun Chips as a kid – it was like a flavour and textural explosion that I had never had up until that point. The fact…

Zelico – The Caramel Hokkaido Fresh Cream

Zelico – The Caramel Hokkaido Fresh Cream

Hokkaido has made a name for itself by being the self-proclaimed king of fresh cream and melons when it comes to Japanese products. While I have indeed had some products from Hokkaido that are indeed…

Hi-Chew Premium – White Peach

Hi-Chew Premium – White Peach

I always feel sort of ripped off when I get a pouch of these. I see the price between these and the standard, classic stick format which comes with more and in a texture that…

Meiji – Brown Sugar Chocolate Almonds

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

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…
