Violet reaction

While eating my afternoon snack, the thought suddenly came to mind.

“Is it eat-everything-violet-day” today?

But hey, you can never go wrong with Simply Doritos & Riyal Grape.

Late Night Special

Whenever i’d go to Seoul, one of the first things i’d buy at the grocery or convenience store is my go-to snack, Doritos Late Night - Oven Roasted Chicken.

It’s one of those local Doritos flavors that are exclusively sold in Seoul. And i’d Always buy it because of that unique, Smokey Chicken flavor that you get with each bite. It was a great midnight snack since my flights would usually arrive at night, so the name was really apt.

And as it turns out, it’s available at the Korean grocery store near the house. And they deliver!

Late Nights will definitely be better - and yummier - nowadays.

Food finds!

Finally! After craving for these for quite some time, I finally found a bag of Flaming Hot Munchies and a box of Hostess Ding Dongs!

The great thing about it was the fact that I wasn't really looking for them. They just happened to be there during my quick supermarket run.

It's going to be a snack-happy weekend!

Surviving snacks

Currently on my shelf are two snack items that I brought in from Japan, but haven't gone around to opening and munching on just yet. And considering the fact that most of the chocolates from Tokyo have been eaten, you can say that these two snacks are survivors.

The reason why I haven't eaten these snacks is the fact that they're very rare and I don't come across them very often. Actually, they're not in any supermarket shelf that I've visited. At least not the major supermarket chains.

First, there's Doritos Toasted Corn! (The exclamation point is part of the brand name.) This is the plain variant of Doritos and these haven't been on local shelves since the late 1990s. Back then, this was readily available and this was our default snack when we'd do our Masteral projects over at Ryan's place. 

After a while, though, it started to disappear in favor of more flavorful options like Cooler Ranch and Taco. Then, they were just gone. I came across this bag when Mark and I went out to buy supplies at Hanamasa. Initially, we just bought one bag, and we devoured that one pretty quickly. This other bag was supposed to be for consumption in Tokyo, but it ended up coming home with me to Manila. 

Second is this small pack of Beanaturals from Jelly Belly. All my friends know that I'm a Jelly Belly freak. It's one thing I hoard whenever I'm in the U.S. And there was a birthday when my friends gave me different Jelly Belly variants.

This pack I got at our favorite chocolate store in Ueno. This pack was surprisingly cheap! Plus, it had all the "natural fruit" jelly bean flavors. It's in a convenient pack, so it's easy to bring around. And to seal the deal, it has cherry and watermelon jelly beans. Two of my ultimate faves.

For the week or so, I've been fighting off opening and devouring these snacks in one go. Knowing that they're "rare" has given me that mindset that I should only open these two when I'm really, really, really craving for them. 

Goodness like these snacks must be savored, and I intend to do so.
