Review nr. 27!!! I'm back with a salty snack, guys! I haven't done one of these in a while so it's about time I take a break from the sweets. The time I have some more chips, but not just any chips: Oishi (which means delishious in japanese, a good signe), kebab flavoured potato chips!
Packaging: the chips come in a blue plastic bag with a picture of them and of some yummy kebabs. The bag seemed pretty full, unfortunatly it was over half empty....
The chips: the chips are your standard crispy, slightly brownish yellow chips. Unfortunatly I wasn't able to find a single one that wasn't broken, they were all pretty crumbled up.
The flavour: these surprised me. They actually taste like kebabs. You can really taste the meat, the peppers and the onions. This time you actually get what it is advertised (except it was suposed to be a full bag and only half is filled .-.). But, contrary to what you may think, I didn't like this too much, maybe I'm just not a meatty chips fan.
Rating: 6,5 out of 10
Overall, not bad except for the amount of chips, flavour is true to what it says. I didn't like them too much but that's just me. If you like kebabs give them a try!

Strawberry Ramune
Review nr. 26!! Guys today I bring you something every Japan lover must know, Ramune!
Ramune, for those of you who don't know it, is japanese soda. The thing that makes this so different is that ramune bottles are sealed with a marble that you have to push down to drink! It's fun and refreshing at the same time!
Instructions: Rip the pink "marbel pusher" (?) off, this may be a little hard, it sure was for me. Turn the piece around and press it firmly agains the marbel at the oppening of the bottle untill the marbel drops. Poor into cup and enjoy! After you're done drinking, put the pink piece back in the bottle opening to seal it so it doesn't lose it's fizziness.

Packaging: this ramune comes in a plastic bottle with drawings of pink sheep (maybe?) on the outside, a pink cap and a pink "marbel pusher" (still don't know what to call it). The marbel is clear.
The drink: the liquid is light pink and really fizzy. Its smells like strawberry.
The flavour: I really liked this one. The drink has a nice artificial strawberry flavour which is sweet but not too much and highly carbonated. Yummy!
Rating: 8 out of 10
Overall, pretty good drink, tasty and refreshing. If you like strawberry stuff and wan't to try something different pick this up!

Pocky: Strawberry Flavour
Review nr. 25!!! Guy, I'm sad to anounce this could possibly be my last Pocky review, since I can't find other pocky flavours here in Portugal (sad Jessica is indeed very sad :c) But today we still have something, we have Strawberry Pocky!!!
Packaging: strawberry pocky comes in a pink cardboard box with a picture of the pocky sticks and some cute strawberries, plus the Glico logo on the side. Inside there is a silver plastic bag with the Glico logo all over.
The Pocky: the sticks are made of the usual light and crispy pocky bisquit. It's coated in light pink cream with little red strawberry specks. It smells like delicious artificial strawberry.
The Taste: like all types of pocky, these are delishious ok? The bisquit is always yummy and the coating in these has rich artificial strawberry flavour that will take all strawberry lovers to heaven. It's impossible to have just one pocky stick guys, impossible!

Rating: 10,5 out of 10
Overall, not as good as the chocolate ones to me (nothing will ever be .-.) but really freaking good! Pick them up (unless you hate strawberry) and you'll love them for sure!

Pretz : Tiramisu
Packaging: Pretz have similar packaging to Pocky, they come in a brown cardboard box with the Pretz (Double) logo and pictures of the sticks and some tiramisu.
The Pretz: The sticks are made out of the same bisquit as pocky, light crispy, slightly brown, covered in brown powder on one side (unlike with cheeto powder, it does not stick to you hands). They smell intensly of coffee.
Rating: 7 out of 10
Overall, I like them, but I was expecting a different flavour. Still, coffee lovers give it a shot!

Tiramisu Cupcakes
Review nr. 23! Today guys, I'm bringing you a sweet from a South Corean company, Orion, but with an Italian taste: Tiramisu Cupcakes!
These are soft little cupcakes with cream filling.
Packaging: These come in a brown cardboard box with pictures of the cupcakes and a tiramisu. Inside, the 5 cupcakes are individually packed in plastic bags with a picture of the cupcakes and the flavour (Pretty handy if you ant to take your snack to go)
The Cupcakes: the cupcakes are about the size of my palm, have a light brownish color and a thick yellow cream on the inside. They smell very intensly of coffee.
The Taste: The cake is pretty fluffy and tasty, it has a pretty intense coffee flavour. The cream though...I personally didn't like it, too thick, too sweet, does not taste at all like tiramisu mascapone cream (that yummy mix of the chesee, the coffee and the licour, sooooo good!). To me it has just a slight citrusy flavour mixed with overly seeet cheese cream.
Rating: 7 out of 10
Overall, I do like the cake of these, maybe I'll just take the cream out of them...if you like coffee you can give it a shot but don't expect that traditional tiramisu taste, or you'll be disapointed.

Price: 2,85 euros

Wasabi Covered Peanuts
Review nr. 22!! Guys, do you like spicy stuff? Like really spicy? If you do, you must like wasabi!
For those of you who dont know, wasabi is a spicy grean condiment made out of the root of the wasabi plant.
Today I'll be reviewing Wasabi Covered Peanuts!
Packaging: the peanuts come in a green plastic bag , with the flavour writen in a red band, the company's logo and pictures of the peanuts.
The Peanuts: The peanuts are the size of peanut M&M's, covered in a crispy green layer.
The Flavour: Ok guys, I was really scared to try these. Wasabi is known for being reeeeealy spicy and I do like spice, but not that much. I tried this for the blog only (commitment guys! you better apreciate it u.u). Fortunatly, the coating on the outside of these is not all wasabi, it has some corn startch mixed into it for crunch. The result is a pretty spicy peanut, that burns the back of your throath but doesn't make you want to cry. The flavour itself is not bad, salty and spicy.
Rating: 6,5 out of 10
Overall, not bad but not impressive. My parents seem to enjoy them with beer though.

Apple Pie Gum
Review nr. 21! So, Extra Dessert Delights is a gum brand that does sugar free gum that tastes like actual desserts! How great is that? (specially for me since I'm kind of a gum addict .-.)
So, at the store they had about 3 flavours, but they do a lot more from what I've seen online. I decided to pick up the Apple Pie kind.
The Packaging: The gum comes in a brown cardboard box wrapped in plastic. The box has a picture of an apple pie and the Extra logo.

The Gum: The gum comes individually wrapped in silver foil. It's long and thin and has a light green color. It smells a lot like apple and cinnamon.
The Flavour: This is probably my new favourite gum flavour. I love apples and I love cinnamon and the combination of the two in this gum is just excellent, no one flavour overpowers the other. It really tastes like apple pie, I'm sold!
Rating: 9 out of 10
Overall, really nice gum. If you like apple pie or just want to try something different, pick it up.

Price: 1,80 euros
