Annie's Organic Graham Sandwich S'mores: I hadn't seen these sandwich cookies from Annie's before and decided to give them a try on my last grocery run. They are an instant guilty pleasure, with all the nostalgia of roasted s'mores. It consists of chocolate and honey graham crackers sandwiching a marshmallow-flavored creme. This is definitely one of the sweeter Annie's offerings I've tried, which kind of pushes it over the edge into junk-food territory even though the ingredients are organic. Still, I couldn't help but enjoy th... (read more) 4.0/5.0

Moshi Sparkling Yuzu Drink: This was my first Moshi beverage and I love how bright and floral the yuzu flavor is. They're able to capture the sharp, fresh flavor of yuzu but it's still a sweet, refreshing drink (containing 32g of sugar). An excellent beverage from a super solid brand. 4.0/5.0

Toad Bakery Currant Custard Pastry: I ate this pastry in November 2023 but am only just catching up and definitely wanted to make sure I wrote about this phenomenal bakery in South London. Toad Bakery is just blocks away from the University of Arts London Creative Computing Institute campus and has an assortment of breads, baked goods, and delicious lunch sandwiches. I could only imagine how lucky people are to be able to go to this bakery regularly. This custard pastry was on the sweet side, with caramelized sugar around it... (read more) 4.0/5.0

Moshi Sparkling Lychee Oolong Tea: I've tried many beverages from Moshi, a brand specializing in sparkling beverages with Asian ingredients and flavors, and they've been consistently excellent. This sparkling oolong tea has a floral herbal flavor. It's on the sweeter side of the drinks I've tried from this brand, with 31g of sugar per bottle, but feels true to the fruit and is especially refreshing for hot days. 4.0/5.0

Bibi Bitter Apertivo Soda: This non-alcoholic beverage has a vivid blood orange flavor and wonderfully balanced citrus and herbal notes. The can doesn't contain any identifying information other than "natural herb and fruit extracts," but it reminds me a little bit of the classic, slightly medicinal flavor of sarsaparilla soda mixed with a bright yet bitter orange kick. Made in Toronto, Canada. 4.0/5.0

Lay's Roasted Seaweed Potato Chips: Since when did Lay's make Pringle's canister potato chips? Unlike the classic crispy, transluscently-thin Lay's potato chips, these are very much in the style of Pringles, though slightly smaller. They surprisingly come packed in a pull-out plastic tray (so you don't have to dig for the chips at the bottom, I suppose). I purchased them from Uwajimaya (the Japanese grocery chain in the PNW), though these are Chinese. The roasted seaweed flavor has a really satisfying savory sweet flavor and... (read more) 4.0/5.0
