POCKET PRETZELS Peanut butter filled pocket pretzels

Pretzels are boring on their own, but when they're filled with Peanut butter, now that's a different story!
These POCKET PRETZELS are addictive!
Basically boring Pretzels made delicious.


I loved the salty surface of the Pretzel pockets and inside it was filled was delicious velvety peanut butter.


Anyway, this is a popular American snack which I haven't seen before in the UK.
Thanks to Octopus Inc for sending me a packet or I would not have tried such a delicious snack.
I will definitely get a stash for my friends back in the UK from Hong Kong!!

3 Musketeers coconut bar


Tried the coconut version of the 3 Musketeers, I could not really taste the coconut and found it rather sweet. It tasted similar to a British milky way.
Luckily, in the packet it was two smaller bars so you do not have to finish it in one go.




3 Musketeers is a candy bar made in the United States by Mars, Incorporated. It is a chocolate-covered fluffy whipped chocolate bar.

Originally, it had three pieces in one package, flavored chocolate, strawberry and vanilla, hence the name.

Rising costs and wartime restrictions on sugar saw the phasing out of the vanilla and strawberry pieces to leave only the more popular chocolate.

Midnight milky way ( US version)

As I am British I never knew that the American version of the Milky Way was different until I came across it elsewhere.

The British version has always been a blue wrapper with stars just like a milky way and American version is larger made of chocolate-malt nougat topped with caramel and covered with milk chocolate and is very similar to the Mars bar.
Anyway, I managed to get my hands on the US version so I chose the Midnight because it is covered in dark chocolate.

On biting it, the filling is distinctively clear with two layers, a caramel layer and a white layer.

The taste was really nice and similar to a MARs bar.

Nissin US Salsa Picante Shrimp Flavor cup noodles

Tried this American cup noodle by Nissin called Salsa Picante Shrimp which seems Mexican.


When I pulled the lid back, the contents were quite red and there was lots of chili powder.

After water was poured I could see lots of herbs, however the taste was not as tangy as I hoped because there was a picture of lime on it.



The ingredients label was quite strange because it did not list any herbs or cumin so I could not find out what herbs was in the noodles.

Nissin US Creamy chicken cup noodles

Tried the American version of Nissin's creamy chicken cup noodles.

The packaging is similar but has English on it instead of Asian.

I prefer the US version to the Asian Nissin cup noodles because the noodles had more texture.
Even the noodles itself you can see it has finely grounded wheat/grains in it.
The texture was really nice because the Asian ones just go soft and slimey.

The chicken broth was nice and chickeny not bland like the Asian Nissin version.

The colour of the broth was quite yellowly.
The Asian version has dehydrated lumps of chicken and this one does not.

Organic Valley sharp cheddar cheese























After taking pictures of this product, I realised that I had previously tried their milk.
Anyway I was initially confused how cheese could be organic, but it turns out that there were no antibiotics, hormones or pesticides used according to its label.
The taste of the cheese was really nice, it was sharp and strong as stated.
