Golden Island Korean barbecue pork jerky: Like most Asian jerky (this one originated in Taiwan) the meat is covered in a sticky glaze, unlike American jerky, which tends to be dry seasoned. I expected some strong and spicy gochujang-like flavoring but instead got something more sweet than savory, almost like a meek teriyaki sauce. The pieces are also sprinkled with sesame seeds. Ultimately, not as authentic as I hoped it would be. 2.5/5.0

Ciao Bella key lime graham squares: Thick ice cream sandwiches with a tart and creamy key lime ice cream between soft honey graham crackers. While I thought the crackers were good, the lime flavor was too strong for my taste. 2.5/5.0

Ginza Tokyo Sugar Butter Sand Tree cookies: Japanese sandwich cookies with a dense, crunchy exterior (somewhat flaky when you bite through it) and a cloyingly sweet icing in the middle reminiscent of cereal milk. Nice packaging, but disappointing flavor. 2.5/5.0

Tayto cheddar and onion crisps: Irish potato chips that have a distinct and surprisingly sharp onion flavor. I didn't detect any discernible type of cheese. The chips are thin and feeble but well seasoned and crispy nonetheless. 2.5/5.0

Awake caffeinated caramel chocolate: Milk chocolate bar segmented into four with a caramel filling. An entire bar contains as much caffeine as a cup of Joe. The chocolate itself is a basic milk chocolate, as was the gooey but overly sweet caramel. Whether or not the caffeine content was effective for me (or if the effects were purely psychological) I cannot say. 2.5/5.0

Deep River zesty jalapeño potato chips: Crunchy and thickly cut kettle cooked chips with a serious jalapeñ flavor Likely the spiciest potato chips I've ever had. Can be good for those who love heat, but for people like me with a moderate spice tolerance, it will be hard to get through an entire bag. 2.5/5.0
