Rusti Chips Sirtaki Tzatziki Flavour [Limited Edition]



March is two weeks in, and still no post from this blog?
That is bad, very bad.
So why not write about potato chips with tzatziki flavouring?

What is that you say?
That sounds like a good idea?
Well All-righty-then.

These are made by Rusti Chips, based in Germany.
I like greek food.
And I especially like a good Tzatziki to go with my greek food.



The round Pringles, sorry... Rusti Chips container is very neat.
The chips are being thrown at you by the greek flag.
There is also some ancient greek ruins pictured on the packaging.
Will these chips be the ruin of me?

For those of you that are interested, Sirtaki is a popular dance from greece.
So, if you are in the mood for dancing potato chips, these are for you.

Upon opening the container, you are greated with the strong smell of tzatziki.
And that is great, that is just what we want them to smell like.
The taste, is unfortunately a bit more tame.
It tastes more like garlic than tzatziki.
But they are still nice and would probably do nice as an add-on snack for your greek dinner.

7-Up Cherry



I am a huge fan of 7-Up.
It has a nice refreshing lemon/lime taste to it that makes it just perfect.
I prefer it to Sprite or other cheap versions.
I also am a huge fan of cherries.
Cherries are great, they have a round sweet taste that goes together with most things.
So naturally, I should like 7-Up Cherry?

First of all, I think they nailed it with the can.
I think it is perfect, nice cherry graphics and colours.
Therefore I was a bit disappointed that the beverage itself was not "cherry coloured".
I would really have liked it to to be that instead of just regular see-through coloured.



I was more thrilled to find out that it smells like cherries... A lot like cherries.
I love the smell of cherries.
It tastes lovely too.
A sweet taste of cherries mixed with the regular taste of lemon/lime.
Although this was a great beverage, I must say I prefer the original version.

Plopp Kärlek



Today is Valentine's day.
A time for love and togetherness or compulsive eating/gaming.

Plopp has been around since 1949 and the original flavour is chocolate filled with toffee.
It is a very nice and sweet piece of chocolate.
Now, there is a version that is suited for Valentine's.
Kärlek means love in Swedish.
It is toffee flavoured with raspberry jelly white truffles with bits of raspberry.



I am a bit disappointed with the smell.
It is a very chemical smell.

But the taste, the taste is very nice.
It is a mix of sweet raspberries and the thick flavour of truffles.
I do not know if the flavour is the flavour of love, but it is still nice.

I want to wish my sweet girlfriend a lovely Valentine's! Love you!

Oreo Mini Chocolate Bars - Strawberry



If you work a lot (and do not have time to update your blogg), you need energy.
And what better way to get energy than with Oreos?
But not the cookie version.
No, this is a chocolate bar version from Japan.

This chocolate bar is stuffed with bits of strawberry, Oreo icing and crushed cookies.
The packaging is very Oreo-ish but with a nice red tone.
It is clean, I like it.
There is a distinct smell of strawberrys.
The smell is very sweet and lovely.



The chocolate itself is a bit more bitter than regular milk chocolate.
I do not know if i like this or not.
But the filling, the filling is nice.
It is very crunchy and sweet.

Snickers Almond



Last week, there was no blog post.
I am in the middle of renovations, and I just did not have the time.
Anyway, I hope I can make you forget it with this snickers chocolate bar:

Snickers has been around since the 1930s.
Until 1990 it was namned Marathon in the UK.
But here, it has always been called Snickers
The original snickers has always consisted of nougat, peanuts and caramel with a chocolate coating.
But in this version, they have decided to replace the peanuts with almonds.
Was this a smart move?
Let us find out.



The wrapping is quite nice.
I like the light colour, although it could make you believe it was a Snickers with white chocolate.
It has a faint smell of almonds.
It is definently, not as sweet as the original.
And the almonds ate a bit more bitter than peanuts.

But this is good!
I always found the original Snickers to be to much, to sweet.
The almonds give it a more mature taste.

Look o Look Candy Money



Have you ever dreamed of being so rich that you can eat money?
Well, actually I have not. Why eat money?
I am sure there are some people out there with such a dream.
And now that dream can come true.

Look o Look is a dutch company that makes that kind of crappy candy you find everywhere but really never buy.
Well, this time I could not help myself from buying something.
I payed real money for the privilege of eating candy money!



They come in the form of Swedish money.
Fifty and five hundred SEK to be precise.
Taking them out of the packaging gave me a feeling.
A feeling that I was rich, filthy rich.
But alas, I was fooled yet again.



The "money" is really thin but not that fragile.
It has a faint, faint, faint smell of sugar.
I guess they are made of rice papper, but I do not really know.
They have almost no taste at all.
But they melt kind of weird in your mouth.

Milka Popcorn



It is a new year. A new unhealthy year.
At first i planned on making the first post for the year something extravagant.
But then I thought, why not start slow and progress from here.
This is not extravagant, this is a chocolate bar with popcorn.
A chocolate bar from Milka non the less.
Milka has been around for over a hundred years.
And was first created in Austria by a Swiss.



At first glance, it looks like rice chocolate.
You know, the kind with puffed rice in chocolate.
But it is so much better.
It it popcorn instead of rice.

The popcorn is of course farmed in the swiss alps.
Which are famous for there vast fields of popcorn.
Or something like that.



It has a regular smell of milk chocolate but there is also a smell of dry popcorn.
You know, like one-day-old popcorn.
I made that sound unpleasant, but it is not... Not at all.

The chocolate is very tasty and the popcorn make more chewy and crunchy.
You see, there are also parts of kernel in the mix.
And that is alright, it actually makes it better.
The popcorn is unfortunately not salted which makes them taste like, well, nothing.



This was an ok mix, but I would like for the popcorn to be salty.
That would have made this chocolate bar all that better.
