Calbee – Winter Snow Cheese Chips
I feel that as society moves faster and things advance at a quicker clip, as do our attention spans. We often search for the new hotness, or the next best thing and move on from…
Bad Monkey – Dill Pickle Popcorn
After my previous run in with Bad Monkey, I was hopeful to try another flavour. Dill pickle is one of those flavours that pops to the front of the line when I think of tastes…
Lakrids by Bülow – No. 3 Red
Hipster licorice. Two words I’d never thought I’d put together, and even less likely to be something I’d ever try. I really don’t know how else to describe this stuff. It’s about as pricey as…

Red Band – Dropfruit Duos Sour
I like to try things that scare me. These are the type of snack to wait behind a doorway and jump out at you or anything, but they do have good old salty licorice, which…
Duyvis – Bacon Cheddar Tiger Nuts
I’m pretty far out of my element right now. Not only am I dealing with a snack I’ve never tried or even heard of, I’m also dealing with a brand that is quite literally, foreign…
