Enjoy the things you can afford
Brand: Frazer Cost: 10.95 KR Found at: Coop These candies are entirely and completely mind-bending. They are a pale, Easter-time pink and vaguely egg-shaped. You might think that they would be bubble-gum, strawberry, or watermelon flavored, but no: these are peppermint flavored. That's ok. After all, pink and peppermint is not the weirdest pairing...

Brand: Estrella Cost: 35KR Found at: ICA Emil and I are snackers. We like to snack. But we are very different in our snack preferences. While I am a sweets girl all the way, munching on chocolates and candies all day long, Emil does not really go in for sweet food between meals. He... Continue Reading →
Brand: Family Mart Cost: Gift Found at: Family Mart Oh no. It’s awful. Like, truly genuinely awful. I don’t know whose idea it was to put ume plum flavor on dried seaweed and market it as a fun snack to suck on but that person was wrong. These are not two flavors that belong... Continue Reading →
Brand: Yooraku Cost: 27 yen Found at: Daiso Why did you buy four Double Soybean Black Thunder bars, you ask? Are they really that good? Are they an equal to their single-soybean counterpart? No. No they are not. But I am a weak. In trying to buy one of these... Continue Reading →
Brand: Sanrotsu Cost: 108 yen Found at: Daiso I will not survive the apocalypse. I’m a city girl with the survival skills of an up-market Havanese dog so I am well aware that as soon as the hot water runs out, I will probably immediately fall down dead from the shock of cold water on...

Brand: Amanoya Cost: 108 yen Found at: Lawson These rice crackers are extremely dangerous for me to have around the house for a couple of reasons: They are delicious (they have a sweet-salty-savory flavor and a satisfying crunch that is impossible for me to resist. It hits all my food favorites in one go.)... Continue Reading →
Brand: 7-11 Cost: 138 yen Found at: Narita Airport 7-11 Last year, I resolved to eat healthier. In fact, I have been making this same resolution for the past several years – writing it down along with three or four other resolutions that I think about for two or three days and then lose in...

Brand: Yamandai Cost: 110 yen Found At: Yamadai I once listened to a great courses lecture on the history of food and learned significantly less than I should have. There were a lot of names and empires and discussions of roux – whatever that is. The only useful bit of information that my memory grabbed... Continue Reading →
Brand: Calbee Cost: 170 yen Found At: 7-11 I feel like I really missed out in my childhood, not having potato sticks. They are exactly the kind of snack that I would have loved as a kid – mild, starchy, and in stick form – but I was born about ten years too early for... Continue Reading →
Brand: Tohato Price: 78 yen Found At: AEON I love the campiness of these chips. The bag features the image of a woodblock-style ninja and the legend: “Floating, weightless and then suddenly vanishing into your mouth.” It’s the kind of hype that I love in a snack – go big, or go home. Despite,... Continue Reading →
