Meiji – Poifull Drink Mix

Meiji – Poifull Drink Mix

This is an interesting mix, to put it mildly. Perhaps it’s because I’m old now, but this mix isn’t particularly my jam. Soda flavoured snacks seem a bit excessive to me, given that most sodas…

Hi-Chew – Peach to Pineapple Transformation

Hi-Chew – Peach to Pineapple Transformation

The transformation gimmick is one that always looks really cool on paper but is very difficult to actually execute. The only reason I can confidently say this is different from the doubles or duo line…

Hi-Chew – Strong Strawberry

Hi-Chew – Strong Strawberry

Some products try to do a glow up and use it as marketing to try and sell you a more expensive product. In this particular case they are trying to make the case that this…

Haribo – Weinland

Haribo – Weinland

I like to walk through and talk about why I make certain purchase decisions. Whether it’s a way for me to learn more about myself, or just rationalize a potentially poor purchase decision, it helps…

Ritter Sport – Vegan Roasted Peanut

Ritter Sport – Vegan Roasted Peanut

Back at it again with vegan chocolate – Ritter Sport edition. I have a lot of faith in the brand, but it’s not entirely unfounded. They have proven that if nothing else, they can make…

Beanitos – Hint of Lime White Bean Chips

Beanitos – Hint of Lime White Bean Chips

Beans are pretty awesome, and while I don’t have them that often, I always think on them fondly. Except re-fried beans – something about that texture just doesn’t do it for me. Pretty much everything…

Tirol Chocolate – Mixed Fruit Jelly

Tirol Chocolate – Mixed Fruit Jelly

I am the occasional enjoyer of fruit in chocolate. I can’t say I’m as thrilled at the concept of fruit flavoured chocolate, but it does intrigue me. Sometimes that’s all it takes to compel me…

Cheeza Crackers – Peppered Double Cheese

Cheeza Crackers – Peppered Double Cheese

Ritter Sport – Vegan Salted Caramel

Ritter Sport – Vegan Salted Caramel

As part of Ritter Sport’s new line of vegan flavours, this one intrigued me quite a bit. Not because I like salted caramel, but I was curious what the brand’s take on a vegan caramel…

Tirol Chocolate – Melon Pan

Tirol Chocolate – Melon Pan

For those who are unfamiliar with what melon pan is, it’s a very popular classic baked good in Japan. It’s called melon pan because the outside of the bun ends up looking somewhat like a…
