Chex Mix Original & Cheddar flavor

Today I'm writing a small review about 2 flavors of Chex Mix, Original & Cheddar. This is a product from America and their site shows that they have 21(!!!) different flavors including Jalapeño cheddar, Caramel crunch, Cookies & Cream and more. They both sell savory and sweet flavors which is great! A lot of different flavors.


The first flavor that I tried was the traditional one. The bag looks kind of dull, something you really do expect for a traditional flavor I guess?


You have a few different shapes like pillows, triangles, and other shapes. The pretzel ones tasted very bland, it almost tasted as if there was no salt in them at all, I didn't really like them. The rest was okay though! I liked the pillow-shaped crisps the most because they had a lot of flavor to them, and they had a lovely crunch to them aswell. The rest was okay, I think the traditional flavor was mostly salty and with some other type of seasoning in them, but I couldn't really figure out the taste of it.


The second bag was the Chex Mix Cheddar flavor. The bag was very orange-ish colored and had a picture of cheddar cheese on the front.


These crisps had more of an orange-ish color to them. I personally dislike cheese but I somehow always seem to like products with cheese-powder rather than fresh cheese. These crisps were the same as traditional, the pretzel being boring and bland again. But the cheddar flavor on the other shapes was great! There was alot of powder on the pillow shaped crisps which made it very cheesy but great to eat if you're in a savory mood. I prefer these assorted wheat/corn crisps over a bag of potato chips any day. 



Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more awesome food reviews.

Tokyo Treat Premium box, september 2015, Pt. 2

Today i'm tasting the other 7 products of the September Tokyo Treat box.


This item is called Monster stamps, the wrapper looks cute!


The stamps look adorable. They don't taste that great and they were too sweet in my opinion, but if you used them as a stamp they looked fun. I needed to press really hard though for them to be looking good on the paper and on my hand. Cute candy/toy though! 8/10.


This next item is called Baked Cookies & Cream flavored chocolate. The wrapper already tells you that though! I like the color combinations. 


I didn't like these too much though, the texture is very odd and it's kind of crumbly, The flyer says that you can try them frozen too but i didn't. I didn't finish these because I thought they tasted horrible. not that creamy and nothing too special. 2/10.


I was really excited to try this item though! It's called Vegetable Oopsy-Daisy Consommé snack. the packaging is really cute with that whale on the front of it!



There were two bags in the box, both filled with tons of different shaped snacks. There were ducks,carrots,whales,tomatoes and more fun-shaped vegetable flavored snacks! I really liked the taste of them, very savory but in some way a bit vegetable flavored. The snacks are hollow on the inside, and they were quite crunchy! This was far out my favorite product out of this month's box. A solid 10/10! 




I was also excited to try this product because I'm a big fan of savory snacks. These are the Pretz soy flavored pretzel biscuits. Although the packaging somewhat looks as if it could also be chocolate flavored. Kind of confusing!


One pack comes with 2 bags of pretz sticks, but all my pretz were unfortunately broken so i couldn't really take a great picture them. They had a very subtle soy flavor to them though and I absolutely loved these too since I'm a huge fan of soy sauce. But they weren't as good as the Consommé snack crisps though! 9/10.


This month's ''drink'' was a Ribbon's Jelly Grape can drink. The flyer explained; ''You must shake well before drinking to ensure that all of the flavors and contents mix up properly to give the best texture!'' They also showed that if you shake more the jelly bits would become smaller. I didn't shake that much because i love jelly and i was curious to see how it would look. 


Although I really felt that this was more of a jelly snack than a drink. the texture was jelly and you could clearly see the bits in the glass. The grape flavor was quite strong though but i enjoyed this ''drink'' nonetheless. 7/10!


I was actually quite afraid to try this item, it's called Genghis Khan Caramel and  supposedly you can taste the garlic lamb flavors in this caramel. The caramels are light-brown colored and I couldn't get used to the taste at all. I didn't taste the lamb, but I did taste the seasoning and garlic in this and I didn't like it at all and obviously I didn't finish this. There were 18 pieces in one pack I believe but I will probably end up throwing these away! 1/10. 


Rilakkuma pretzel sticks was my last product out of this month's box. So adorable! You were able to get different characters on this box and I ended up getting this cute little chick. 



The wrapper around these pretzel sticks is even more cute than the packaging itsself and these pretzels were just delicious. They had a sweet buttery flavor to them and they had a nice crunch aswell! They were so good that I want more of these! 9/10!

So that's it for this month's box. Next month will contain even more weird products *spoiler alert* like a sweet bean jelly, wasabi pretzels, Poifull, and even a canned pudding drink! Stay tuned and thanks for reading! ^-^

Tokyo Treat Premium box, September 2015


Today my Tokyo Treat September box finally arrived! Even with a beautiful bar-code sticker on the front of my box. :P 


Same flyer as the last time but the word August got changed to September.


The back of the flyer shows all products that are in the box like last time, (click on the photo to enlarge it.) I had the premium box again so you get the small, regular and premium rows. 



The first item that I was very eager to try was the Calbee fatty tuna flavored potato chips. However, the fun part about these chips is that there aren't any fish ingredients added to them. They just combined the flavors of avocado, soy sauce and wasabi. 



The chips just look like regular chips, but they aren't as oily as most dutch/american brand chips. I really only tasted the wasabi in these, and I must say that I'm not a fan of wasabi, so I wasn't very fond of these. But when you have more of them you kind of get that tuna taste. 6/10 for them because of the powerful wasabi taste!



 The second item that I tried was the Crackling Panic Cola! popping candy. The packaging looks fun! I really wanted to try these as fast as possible.




The tiny package contained cola-flavored popping candy and little ramune-flavored fizzy tablets. I liked the ramune tablets the most out of both, but the popping candy was also great because the pieces were quite big compared to Pop rocks. They were great together, but I enjoyed eating them seperately more. 7/10!


The third item that I tried were the energy drink flavored Monster Hunter gummies. I've personally never played Monster Hunter but this really looks awesome!



It's a bit hard to see but the gummies were a light orange color. They have some sort of hard shell when you bite into it, and the energy flavor is really pleasant! Just like Red Bull, however i didn't like the texture of the gummy. It was really tough to chew on and it took a while before i finished eating it. The flavor is great though! 8/10!



The fourth item that I tried were the Lotte Koala No March strawberry flavored biscuits. I'm familiar with these biscuits because I absolutely love their creamy milk flavored biscuits, but I've never tried these!



These little biscuits never fail to look absolutely adorable. They have alot of different prints on them! The strawberry filling is smooth and creamy, and they're very yummy! I bet everyone would enjoy these, I've never heard of anyone disliking these biscuits. 9/10!




And so we meet again! I've already done a review of this kit, so I won't be opening this but giving it to a friend instead. 



Same story with this kit! I've already made the Kracie Takoyaki kit before (although I've never written a review about this one) So I'm giving it away to a friend. This kit is fairly easy to make and it's a savory flavored DIY kit instead of a sweet one. I liked the flavors of this kit the last time, and I would recommend it to each and every one of you. If you'd like to see a review about this kit you should go to youtube! There's plenty of explanation videos for this kit. 



The fifth item were the Milky soft candies. I've never been a huge fan of milk and milk products but I did end up giving these a try because I had hoped that they weren't as milky flavored as i thought they would be, but I was very wrong.



The wrapping paper looks nice and colorful. there were quite a few of them in the little package. 



The candy itsself really does look milky and creamy. I really didn't like these candies because they do have that condensed milk flavor. But I bet that every milk lover would go nuts over these little candies. 2/10!

This was the first part of my review about the September 2015 Tokyo Treat box, and stay tuned for part 2! It will probably be up in about 2 days ^^
