Andy Capp's Cheddar Fries: Somehow, I remember enjoying these as a kid, but they have very little appeal now. Grease melts in your mouth, snack leaves a very artificial and strong aftertaste. 1.0/5.0

Burger King Cheetos Chicken Fries: I very rarely get fast food, and it's often in times of dire need and a lack of alternatives. I had just a few minutes before my flight from Las Vegas, and the closest fast food "restaurant" was a Burger King. The Cheetos Chicken Fries were crazy enough to give them a shot, and I figured it would take no time at all to stuff them in a box. The Burger King Cheetos Chicken Fries are in actuality chicken "sticks," thinner and longer than your typical mozzarella sticks with a breaded fried coa... (read more) 1.0/5.0

Dydo Grandtime Vanilla Drink: I found this in a Dydo-branded vending machine at the Tameiko-Sanno Subway Station in Tokyo and decided to give it a try.

Keki Modern Cakes Milk soft serve: When I went to Keki to try their cheesecake, they had a promotion where they were giving away free soft serve. Their only available flavor was milk, and while the texture of the softserve was good, it tasted very simply of rich whole milk. It’s not a flavor that develops in any way, and it was too rich for me, so I did something I’ve only done once before in the history of Tasty Snacking and threw it out. 1.0/5.0
