Pretz – Crispy Chicken and Herbs

Pretz – Crispy Chicken and Herbs

The packaging on these look fancier than the Pretz I’m used to. I wonder if they’re trying to market these as a premium version or something. It’s definitely giving me upturned pinky vibes. The flavour…

Milka – MMMAX Strawberry Cheesecake

There are moments in a persons life where they ask themselves, is this too much? Is this a bit excessive? Have I gone too far? These are just some of the thoughts that crossed my…

Hi-Chew – Strong Grape

Hi-Chew – Strong Grape

What do you think of when you think of the word strong? Do you think of giant, muscly body builders? Or do you think about a bottle of perfectly aged scotch that burns the nostrils…

Lay’s – Wavy Cheddar and Sour Cream

Lay’s – Wavy Cheddar and Sour Cream

Hi-Chew Premium – Golden Peach

Hi-Chew Premium – Golden Peach

I’ve been consuming enough Hi-Chew in all it’s various formats to know which one is my favourite, at least based on experience thus far. While the premium format is not my top choice, that’s mostly…

Chocoball – Hi-Chew Grape

Chocoball – Hi-Chew Grape

Chocoball is a brand of chocolate coated balls (inspired, I know) that have a variety of fillings. The mascot named Kyoro-Chan is some strange brand like creature. Why this helps sell chocolate balls is beyond…

Klepper & Klepper Sweet Licorice

Klepper & Klepper Sweet Licorice
