snacks and stuff
So. I was wandering around in Miracle supermarket in World Square and couldn’t make it out of the candy and chips section without buying some stuff… Take this grape Fanta for instance. It was just sitting there looking at me. A split second later and the 4 pack of sugary sweet fizzy happiness sat in my grocery basket. I <3 all things grape and can remember the day I found out my beloved grape Skittles had changed to blackcurrant. I was absolutely shattered but hey that's a story for another day! The grape Fanta is all kinds of awesome if you like sweet artifical grape flavoured stuff.. which I do.. and not surprisingly it has more sugar than a normal can of coke. I had issues drinking it with foods tho cos it made everything taste like grape which was disconcerting because at the time I was eating a burger.
I got suckered into buying this shiny pretty packet of what looked to be donut biscuits after Carly told me about them (also, sidenote- i went to that supermarket with the intention of buying the mochiyaki but they wouldn’t make me a fresh batch boo! but on the plus side i found Sook lurking in the aisle haha)
Sadness is finding non colourful donut shaped chips inside. They had the crunch and consistency of a Cheezel but none of the flavour. Instead there was an odd savoury peanut butter taste but with a weirdly sweet aftertaste. They were ok but I’m not sure I could eat the whole packet in one go.
I picked up this packet of “Corn flavor soft candy” KNOWING it would be gross. It’s best not to have high expectations when eating corn ‘flavoured’ stuff…
Cute right? Unfortunately that’s all its good points. The corn was squishy but borderline rubbery and while it smelt corn-y the taste was bland almost as if you had boiled some corn for a week and you’re left with a flavour that tastes kinda familiar but not really resembling corn. It’s making my mouth taste funny hmm bet it’s gonna be as undigestable as real corn…
I chose the ‘Kinako Milk Candy’ after loving the kinako powder sprinkled on mochi at last year’s sugar hit at Azuma. The candy was a hard round ball that tasted a bit like a milky White Rabbit candy but is thickly coated with kinako powder and also in the center. It has a nutty flavour and is tasty although it makes me crave for a whole mug of kinako and milk. Yeah nfi on the prices of everything cos I lost the receipt haha my bad
Ok this wasn’t from the supermarket but Helen had brought me a packet of ‘Butter & Salt Candy’ from Japan and I figure now is a good time as any to write about em. The slogan really made me chortle: “I am sorry that I cannot tell this deliciousness in a single word.” BAHAHAHAHA wouldn’t deliciousness BE the single word? Oh Japan how you crack me up. When I asked Helen if she had tried it she replies with “it tasted like butter. And sugar” lol it does indeed. It’s a hard round candy that tastes like super concentrated butter but oddly not salty. Or maybe my tastebuds have been so overloaded with sugar from trying the other stuff that I can’t taste anything. I think i was expecting it to taste more like Werther’s caramels? Anywho’s that’s enough junk food for the week!
