Pretz – Crispy Pizza

Pretz – Crispy Pizza

Pretz is a well-established brand and I’ve long since been indoctrinated into the Glico family of products like Pocky since early childhood. It’s too late for me. I can’t escape. Lest they do something real…

Corn Nuts – Jalapeno Cheddar

Corn Nuts – Jalapeno Cheddar

As I work my way through the corn nuts catalogue, I come to a flavour that I slightly dread. I know a lot of people who enjoy a lot of heat say things like Hot…

Miss Vickie’s – Sour Cream & Caramelized Onion

Miss Vickie’s – Sour Cream & Caramelized Onion

I’ve been on a bit of a kettle chip kick, and I’ve been getting reacquainted with the old flame that is Miss Vickie’s. Admittedly I have a thing for older women, and they don’t get…

Brookside Dark Chocolate – Merlot Grape & Blackcurrant

Brookside Dark Chocolate – Merlot Grape & Blackcurrant

Brookside is the brand I credit with making chocolate covered fruit jellies popular and vogue. They weren’t the first to do it, but they put the snack and themselves on the map, and today’s creative…

Green & Black’s – Organic Dark Chocolate with Hazelnuts and Currants

Green & Black’s – Organic Dark Chocolate with Hazelnuts and Currants

Green & Black’s has earned my trust after delivering tasty offerings in the past. In fact, they were the brand that made me appreciate white chocolate and not instantly write off all types of it…

Panda Licorice – Soft Licorice

Panda Licorice – Soft Licorice

I’ve talked a bit before about how Panda is the brand that I feel can get people into actual decent licorice, and not the plastic Twizzlers nonsense that you see everywhere. Sure it’s more expensive…

Bad Monkey – Nacho Cheese Popcorn

Bad Monkey – Nacho Cheese Popcorn

Every once in a while I get hit with a really bad hankering for popcorn. It’s one of those snacks that some people can convince themselves is not as damaging, and with even more mental…

Cratz – Grilled Corn

Cratz – Grilled Corn

Cratz, unlike the other Glico brands like Pocky and Pretz are perfectly fine with resting on their laurels, only releasing a few flavours and sticking to the tried and true. That’s not a bad thing,…

Smartfood – Gouda & Chive Popcorn

Smartfood – Gouda & Chive Popcorn

There are certain individuals who do not see the point of prepackaged popcorn like Smartfood. There are those that would say, “why not just get the much cheaper option of microwave popcorn and make it…

Fujiya – Dole Gummy Candy Double Grape

Fujiya – Dole Gummy Candy Double Grape

Fujiya is a brand I associate mostly with chocolate – from their Milky products with the ever creepy Peko Chan mascot, or the Country Ma’am cookie line, they seem to do well with the dairy…
