Hi-Chew – Green Apple Retro Edition
There’s nothing special about these beyond the classic packaging from 1975. I can see the appeal of the clean, classic packaging for sure. But whether it’s worth getting this just for that, probably not. Unless…

DARS Chocolate – Fragrant Kiwi
Yet another release in the DARS line known as fragrant fruits, kiwi is one I don’t see often. So much so that I saw this and my brain sort of assumed it was the muscat…

Hi-Chew – Strawberry Daifuku
It’s not too often that Hi-Chew does non-fruit based flavours, but they do tend to do some fruit adjacent flavoured ones like sodas, and today’s flavour which is technically fruit adjacent. Maybe it’s a cultural…
