Tirol Chocolate – Mochi Ranger Mix
I’ve had a lot of Tirol in my time, and there have been a lot of winners, and a few losers. By far the best “archetype” that Tirol does, at least in my opinion is…
Nongshim – Spicy Shrimp Crackers
Ah yes, shrimp crackers. An ever popular pastime snack for Asian families everywhere, and a big part of my upbringing despite growing up on the frigid North. To say it’s an acquired taste would be…

Haitai – Bbasea Crispy Shrimp Chips
I feel like shrimp based snacks are one of those things that is very much rooted in culture. Growing up with them, it’s just a part of our potential options of snacks. It wasn’t until…
