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

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…

Black Thunder – Strawberry

Black Thunder – Strawberry

Black Thunder is one of the brands that I think to myself, if I was in Japan, I would be eating way too much of these products. Even when I was in Japan, I stocked…

Kettle Brand – Krinkle Cut Habanero Lime

Kettle Brand – Krinkle Cut Habanero Lime

There have been a few occasions where I have a ghost pepper or habanero flavour and it ends up being less spicy to me than jalapeno. I’m not sure if it’s just how my body…

Reese’s – Take 5

Reese’s – Take 5

I can’t really tell if this is a collaboration flavour or just a rebranding. You see, Reese is known as peanut butter cups, while Take 5 are a somewhat complicated chocolate bar. Take 5 has…

Despair

It’s such a weird feeling isn’t it? Like bring trapped in a hole, while also falling constantly deeper and deeper. Like any other person, I’ve had my fair share of despair and a feeling of…
