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…

Meiji – Poifull Fruit Mix
Jelly beans get a bad rap. Most people I talk to express disgust when offered them, often citing how they get stuck to your teeth or they are too sweet, or the flavour is on…
