Hardbite – Avocado & Lime

Hardbite – Avocado & Lime

Ah yes, Hardbite. No doubt by now it is abundantly clear that the brand is synonymous with quality and crunch in my books. They have quite quickly, yet consistently, managed to edge their way to…

Haribo – Orangina Pik

Haribo – Orangina Pik

Do you ever see a product but not feel much incentive to try it, only to try a different product that was based on the original product that you felt no motivation to try? I…

Toppo – Corn Chocolate

Toppo – Corn Chocolate

Every so often it seems corn hits the spotlight in the confectionery and chocolate world. Not that it was every fully out of it, but every once in a while it blows up in a…

Tirol Chocolate – Zunda Shake

Tirol Chocolate – Zunda Shake

Certain colours draw me in when it comes to snacks. Blue for example, is a very cool colour for kids and the younger folk, but the older I get it seems less and less natural…

Duyvis – Provencal Tiger Nuts

Duyvis – Provencal Tiger Nuts

I consider myself a tough wall to scale – I am open to trying new things, but that doesn’t mean I have low standards. If I get burned by something, it’s unlikely I will give…

Calbee Crunch Sour Cream and Onion

Calbee Crunch Sour Cream and Onion

When I think of Calbee potato chips, I think of very light, thin chips. While I love me some thick, crunchy potato chips, there’s still a time and place for the thin ones and I…

Go Bio! – Organic Wine Gums

Go Bio! – Organic Wine Gums

Black Thunder – Custard Apple Pie

Black Thunder – Custard Apple Pie

Tirol Chocolate – Mochi Ranger Mix

Tirol Chocolate – Mochi Ranger Mix

I’ve had a lot of Tirol in my time, and there have been a lot of winners, and a few losers. By far the best “archetype” that Tirol does, at least in my opinion is…

Nongshim – Spicy Shrimp Crackers

Nongshim – Spicy Shrimp Crackers

Ah yes, shrimp crackers. An ever popular pastime snack for Asian families everywhere, and a big part of my upbringing despite growing up on the frigid North. To say it’s an acquired taste would be…
