Citrus flavoured goodness. Verdict: 4.5/5 omnomnoms

Apr
Asian Snack Time: 롯데 빼빼로 땅콩 (Lotte Pepero Peanut Flavour).
Tastes like a normal Pepero, but with the peanuttiness. Also, the packaging has an address to part, so you can send it to your love interest. (I’m gonna assume male? For White Day perhaps? Or even just for Pepero Day)

Asian Snack Time: The 맥콜 (Mccol) Soda Taste Test.
You’d think that after watching EatYourkImchi do this for their Valentine’s Day WANK (Wonderful Adventure Now Korea) (here, and here) last year, that I wouldn’t try it, you’re wrong. When I found this “gem” of a drink in the store fridge I went ahead and got it. From tge moment you crack it open, the aroma of barley and soda mixed together hits you. (For those of you Singaporeans/or those familiar with BRAND’s Chicken Essence, that’s right people, chicken essence, it’s of a similar smell) For the first few sips, you don’t taste it so much, but once you get to about halfway it may get a bit overwhelming. Verdict: 2.5/5 omnomnoms. Try if you’re game.
