.FOOrD BLOrG. crunchy snackies

Somewhere between Mexico and Japan lies the aim of this salty snack from Japan. It is called CRATZ (which sounds like a sound alike swear a kid would say at school) and the flavor is Mexican chicken flavor and it is supposed to have almonds somewhere in the mix.

1- It smells like upscale dry pet food.

2- I expected this to go many different ways in the arena of taste but I didn't guess correctly.

3-Salty Salty Salty

4-This snack is so sodium laden that I bet it would give a bullion cube a run for its money.

5- Intense is an understatement. After one tiny chunk I was finished with this experiment. Yet for the sake of science I had another just to make sure. No other taste really comes to the for front and now that I had seconds I think it made my breath smell a little like pee.

Yep, this is not for me. According to the packaging I am guessing you should eat this with a cold beer but why you would want to ruin a perfectly good beer experience with this is beyond me. Even the poor quality beer I drink doesn't deserve that sort of treatment. Maybe the makers of this snack had actual snacks from Mexico and thought they should lower the bar. I don't know for sure but that seems the most logical to me. Please excuse me I need to brush my teeth again.

.FOOrD BLOrG. Gum 2

I needed to take a break from Mexico and decided Japan needed some attention. Here we have Ginger Ale Gum! For those times when drinking ginger ale and chewing gum seems insane.

1- No scent upon unwrapping.

2- The shape was that of a bloated chiklet.

3- It tastes like freaking Ginger Ale and not the sugary americanized junk.

4- The taste is so earthy and Gingery that as it disappears you wonder why am I chewing gum?

This gum is serious stuff. It slightly burned my nostrils and caused my eyes to tear a bit. Sadly the flavor doesn't last long but then with intensity like that maybe you wouldn't want it too. If you want to try it I have a whole pack left....
