The Place That Is No More

Black Thunder - A bog-standard "crunch bar", which calls itself a "chocolate-covered cookie bar" on the label. Doesn't taste any differently from any number of other "cookie bars". If I wanted one, I'd buy a Twix and get caramel with it, or a Kit-Kat.

A while back I won a raffle on BVS and received $25 in Japanese snackfoods. I had intended to make a video about it, but I forgot just how weak and feeble my computer is these days - running the camera crashed it. So instead, here's a text report on how they go.

Ginbis Choco Bar Z White: Looks a tad like a cylindrical Rice Krispies bar. I can taste white chocolate on the surface and a little inside, but overall it tastes a lot like a rice cake. Wouldn't buy it again.

Meito Pukupuku Tai Choco: A wafer-style treat, shaped like a fish. The first bite confirms my suspicions as to what it tastes like - a vanilla wafer cookie wrapped around chocolate ones. This one I can see myself buying again. A bit heavy on the chocolate flavor; I suspect this is going to leave an aftertaste.
