Tirol Chocolate – Sakuranbo Cherry Dagashi

Tirol Chocolate – Sakuranbo Cherry Dagashi

As is customary with Tirol, they do some seasonal crossover/collaboration flavours each year, and this is part of the most recent rotation. Dagashi is a general term for cheap or inexpensive snacks. These are snacks…

Andes – Peppermint Crunch

Andes – Peppermint Crunch

If you have checked my recent posts, you may have noticed I did another review of a similarly mint chocolate flavour by Andes. You may be thinking, isn’t this basically the same thing? To which…

Tirol Chocolate – Green Tea

Tirol Chocolate – Green Tea

There are some flavours that I wonder if I’ve come to appreciate more as I get older, or if it just so happens to become more popular and mainstream and companies just learn how to…

Doritos Dinamita – Chile-lime Burn

Doritos Dinamita – Chile-lime Burn

Something about rolled tortilla chips speaks to me. Between these and Takis, I’m learning that I am drawn to rolled chips. And now I’m super curious on what a rolled potato chip would taste like,…

Hi-Chew – Soda Mix with Melon

Hi-Chew – Soda Mix with Melon

Hi-Chew typically does what it does best, fruity flavours. They do have a little bit of fun with non-fruit flavours on occasion, but those are more of a novelty and aren’t what keep me coming…

Andes – Mint Cookie Crunch

Andes – Mint Cookie Crunch

My memory of Andes is generally positive. As a kid I would get Andes mint flavoured chocolates as a nice cheap, chocolate snack. While it’s relatively easy to find in the Frigid North, most of…

Cretors – Cheddar Cheese Popcorn

Cretors – Cheddar Cheese Popcorn

I remember the first time I was introduced to what is known as Chicago mix popcorn. It’s basically the combination of caramel and cheddar popcorn in the same bag. Much like the concept of sweet…

Kettle Brand – Parmesan Garlic Potato Chips

Kettle Brand – Parmesan Garlic Potato Chips

Parmesan, at least in it’s very common and fake form has a very pungent smell to it that is off putting for me. The type of smell that sticks to your lips and doesn’t let…

Ritter Sport – Waffel

Ritter Sport – Waffel

Regional varieties are one way that companies can make us feel special for living or hailing from a specific area or region. Ritter Sport does this to a certain extent, though much less than some…

Tirol Chocolate – Azuki Mochi Matcha

Tirol Chocolate – Azuki Mochi Matcha

When you’ve had as many flavours or varieties from a brand as I have with Tirol, it’s hard to keep track of what’s new and what’s a rehash or reissue. I’m actually surprised I haven’t…
