Hardbite – Spicy Dill Pickle

Hardbite – Spicy Dill Pickle

I’ve started coming around to pickles with my ripe old age. But only certain pickles mind you – I’m down with the dill, and the gherkins mostly because they’re smaller. In general though pickle is…

Ritter Sport – 61% Fine Dark Chocolate

Ritter Sport – 61% Fine Dark Chocolate

There’s been a big push in the last decade or so (or so it feels that way) to go for ethically sourced, and sustainable cocoa. In particular, there has been a lot of focus on…

Hi-Chew Doubles – Furano & Crown Melon

Hi-Chew Doubles – Furano & Crown Melon

In the “definitive” list of the best flavours of Hi-Chew, grape is the reigning king. I don’t think anyone can, or will argue that fact except for people who don’t like grape flavour. Those people…

Tirol Chocolate – Puré Lemon

Tirol Chocolate – Puré Lemon

Curiosity is the only thing that drove me to try this. Citrus and chocolate can sometimes be a good combination, but I have my doubts on this piece. Lemon flavoured chocolates alone are already kind…

Hi-Chew – Umai-Chew Mikan

Hi-Chew – Umai-Chew Mikan

Citrus is far from my go to when it comes to candy flavours, but this is a Hi-Chew release, and let there be no doubt of my dedication to the cause. The trying as many…

Pretz – Crispy Butter Shoyu

Pretz – Crispy Butter Shoyu

The old saying that good things come in small packages is something that always dumbfounded me a bit. It’s just so vague and I don’t know what the take away is supposed to be, exactly.…

Tirol Chocolate – Peach Parfait

Tirol Chocolate – Peach Parfait

Peach parfait, or at least what I recognize as the dessert is a combination of peach slices, yogurt, and crunchy granola/oats or crunchy cookie bits. It’s something I enjoyed as a kid, but at some…

Hi-Chew Premium – Red Grape

Hi-Chew Premium – Red Grape

If you were to ask me where I see myself in ten years when I was a kid, writing up a formal-ish review on a chewy grape flavoured candy from Japan is probably pretty low…

Nobel Sours Gummy Candy – Cola Turtles

Nobel Sours Gummy Candy – Cola Turtles

When I think of turtle shaped candy, I think of something more akin to chocolate and pecans, so it’s always refreshing to see other formats for the animal. Turtles have a sense of serene, peaceful…

Kettle Brand – Ranch Potato Chips

Kettle Brand – Ranch Potato Chips

There’s a bit of a running joke that to the world outside of the US, ranch dressing is about as American as it gets. And honestly, it’s kind of hard to argue against it; ranch…
