Chiki Snack cheese balls: This is the first in a series of #munchpak snack reviews. Chiki balls are puffed corn and rice cheese balls from Indonesia. While the packaging is foreign, the flavor is all too familiar, with a styrofoam texture and ingredients like \"flavor enhancers\" and MSG. In some ways, I take comfort that perhaps anywhere you go in the world, you'll come across this junk food standard. But if you really think about it, it's a little depressing. 2.0/5.0

Kind Banana Nut Clusters: Found this granola on sale at my local grocery store and picked it up after having generally good experiences with their bars. This bag is a low fat and sugar product, and you definitely taste it. I'm one for lighter snacks, but this granola verges on flavorless.

Meiji Pucca: Fish-shaped biscuits filled with milk chocolate. The most obvious comparison would be to Lotte's koala cookies, which I find to be better overall; the Pucca cookies don't have much flavor, and they lack the charm of the uniquely printed koala snacks. 2.0/5.0

Vidal creepy gummi: In my latest munchpak, I received this Halloween-themed candy, and I'm happy to report it is the only piece of candy I had on the holiday. The gummy had a bit of a cherry jello flavor and was more gelatinous (and less set) than most gummy candies. Not a candy I would ever purchase on my own. 2.0/5.0
