Tao Kae Noi kimchi flavored Super Crisp: This is the last of the Tao Kae Noi line of grilled seaweed snacks I had yet to try from my local Hmart. The umami-rich flavor has a great balance of savory and sweet. The spicy kimchi taste builds and lingers. A uniquely crispy and substantial seaweed snack. 3.5/5.0

Goldfish flavor blasted xtra cheddar and pretzel: Airline food tends to be highly seasoned to make up for our decreased sensitivity to salt in pressurized and low humidity environments. On my last 6 hour flight, I found myself getting alarmingly hungry in the last hour. Giving in, I purchased the least expensive snack, a $2 bag of goldfish. I've sensed that goldfish had become saltier over the years and have avoided purchasing it for this reason. At this altitude, though, I found the snack to be not too bad, with a balanced mix of both flav... (read more) 3.0/5.0

Trader Joe's honey Greek yogurt: Like other TJ's non-fat Greek yogurts I've had, this one is on the thin side. But unlike other honey-flavored yogurt I've had more generally, TJ's does a good job balancing sweet and tart. A pretty good value and decent snack. 3.0/5.0

Paldo Soo Jeong Gwa: A canned version of a traditional Korean punch called sujeonggwa, typically made with dried persimmons, spiced with cinnamon and ginger, and garnished with pine nuts. The can is smaller than normal at 8 oz, which is good since it's sweet enough that you wouldn't necessarily want to drink more. Pretty refreshing, but in small quantities. Strong cinnamon flavor. 3.0/5.0

Trader Joe's peanut butter & jelly nonfat Greek yogurt: A unique yogurt flavor I haven't seen from another brand. The yogurt captures the essence of peanut butter and jelly in a surprisingly faithful way. So much so that I wanted a glass of milk afterward. The yogurt itself is thin and watery for Greek yogurt; not the best texture. Nonetheless, TJ's scores some points for originality here. 3.5/5.0

Organic Farm roasted chestnuts: I purchased two packs of roasted chestnuts from Hmart during a 2 for $3 sale. The last bag [https://instagram.com/p/7DXauqFIe7/] was unfavorably reviewed, mostly due to its slimy texture. This snacks veers in the opposite direction, with chestnuts that are on the dry side. Eaten with water, though, the chestnuts have superior flavor than the Haioreum bag, with a deeper, earthier flavor. Both bags list a single serving, but I found the bags really served at least 2. 2.5/5.0
