Nong Shim Banana Kick Snack: Who would have thought that banana flavored puffs, airy and porous with a slight glaze and crispy texture, would be such a delicious snack? I'll admit that I purchased this bag from the narrow, never-ending aisles of Manhattan's HMart solely based on its cute packaging. Yet there was also a driving curiosity for what a sweet fruity version of a cheese puff might be. Texturally, they are far more interesting than Cheetos largely due to its crispy yet light consistency. Its flavor taste of ... (read more) 4.0/5.0

Pocky Chocolate Banana: Chocolate Pocky biscuits dipped in a "banana" coating. Ingredients say contains less than one percent of artificial flavors and banana powder...flavor matches description. Tastes like banana flavored Runts, which is very different than actual bananas. Too sweet and very artificial. 2.0/5.0

Smooch mango, pineapple, and banana fruit snack: I purchased this from a Leanbox thinking it was a drink. Instead, I found a sort of adult apple sauce with a chunky texture. You suck the snack out of a little spout. Crunchy with the inclusion of chia seeds. Very sweet. Interesting but would probably never purchase again. 3.05/5.0

Sprouted Go Raw Banana Bread Sprouted Bar: Recently, my office has started getting free snacks / advertising from various organic energy bar companies. This one from Sprouted contains four ingredients: flaxseed, banana, coconut, and dates. It appears sizable but is in fact very thin, perhaps giving off an illusion of substance or value. Consistency-wise, it's slightly chewy and sticky. By color, you may not guess it's banana bread flavored, but you can definitely taste it, though the addition of dates gives it a unique sweet flav...

Suja organic Mango Magic drink: I would describe this beverage as a slightly spiced version of Odwalla's Mango Tango. They contain almost the exact same ingredients (apple juice, mango purພ, orange juice, and banana purພ), but Suja's has the addition of ginger juice, which gives it a subtle hint of spice at the finish. There are no added sweeteners, as the ingredients are naturally sweet, making the drink overall very sugary (44g per bottle). I liked it but think I might have been better off eating some fresh fruit instead. 3.0/5.0

Tokyo Banana Pokmeon Edition Tokyo Banana: Tokyo Banana is a brand of cake only available in Japan that's marketed as the #1 souvenir. I bought a few boxes to mail as gifts when returning to the states, along with this single serving pouch of their special Pokemon edition. As far as I know, it's the exact same flavor as the original Tokyo Banana but features Pikachu printed on the sponge cake. The cake itself is very fluffy and soft but has very little flavor to it on its own; inside is a banana cream with a slightly brownish-yell... (read more) 2.5/5.0
