Now everyone has opened their Christmas stuff I can show you things I picked up - this hoard was from the Korean supermarket Vanguard in Birmingham. It's always been a go to place for the normal things I eat (like the Nongshim sweet potato snacks) but they do nice sweets for presents
They also had a New Mr Kong tea!
This is the Pepsi Max of the range - black and cool but no sugar.
Very little sweetener too, so the grape juice has a lot of heavy lifting to do. Psychologically it's a strange one - is the sugar the main appeal for the tea after all... - but it's nice enough. I just can't see myself buying the 1 litre bottles of this in the summer when out shopping. Probably a lot better for you though.
Speaking of sugar - we have three co-ordinated packs of sweet things for the teenage girls as a bonus present. These were actually more exciting than the real presents we got them - but I guess that's the point.
The youngest child opened her blue popping boba balls on Christmas night and ate the whole thing like caviar. Not quite what I expected, but frankly you have to respect that kind of behaviour. The suggestion was that I could buy more of these so they must be good.
The Pocky variants didn't get opened (probably just as well) but their VD (valentines day) branding is highly cute and slightly amusing.
I got the blueberry + raspberry ones for me. Made in China so a little cheaper than most novel big boxes of Pocky. they went down quite well. I was mildly tempted to 'Share Happiness' but as of yet no one has been tempted. They will see me through the work week.
I'll review the Oreo brand mini pillows soon.
