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…
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…

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…
Binggrae – Smoky Bacon Chips
I will confess that I am not a member of the cult of bacon. Do I enjoy bacon occasionally? Sure. Do I want to try bacon flavoured mints or bacon ice cream? No. I like…
