Glico Caplico Wafer Cookie

Origin - Japan
Rating - Good
Ms. K and I are familiar with the Glico name from their tasty Japanese curry that comes in bar form. So when we discovered this, we thought "what the fuck? try it!". I was hoping for something pretty weird but this is really just a big wafer cookie. What is weird though is the shape...just like how they form their curry, in "tablet bar form"! How uncreative! This has a layer of chocolate and vanilla stuff inside that's rock hard and doesn't really taste like much of anything. You can't really tell from the photo but I assure you, there is a layer. Not much else to tell, a small disappointment.

Morinaga Nama Ramune Gummies - Cola Flavor

Origin - Japan
Rating - Boston Baked Beans
I'd first like to state these are like a damn candy tattoo, as I'm sure I'll be tasting them forever. When purchasing them I thought "harmless gummies" but this is Munchies de Sade and we don't play that shit 'round here. These are thermo fucking nuclear when it come to taste. Hours after eating just one small cube I was still tasting the slightly sour cola flavor (not too far off from a 7/11 slushy that's been sitting out for a bit). They're not gummies either yet they live in the same neighborhood. They have sugary grit to them (which I'm sure is top secret proprietary fun time formula) but kind of squishy like a gummy. They're moist as well, probably chock full of cola good feelings or something. I was told they change texture depending on the temperature, so I put one in the fridge and one in the freezer. The fridge gummy almost resembled a softer candy corn while the freezer sample DID NOT FREEZE! Obviously some kind of alchemy is responsible. While I kind of enjoyed these, just keep in mind they are more weapon than treat, a true Boston Baked Bean.

Pocari Sweat

 














Origin - Japan
Rating - Boston Baked Beans
Here we have the legendary "Pocari Sweat", the drink with the unfortunate name. After finally trying it, I think the crazy fucks making this really want it to taste like simulated sweat. Why would you drink that? Because it has a nice citrus flavor! Although, it also has this very strong plastic taste or maybe some kind of aerosol deodorant. It's slightly thick and kind of salty (not too far off from Gatorade). But I keep drinking it! I can't decide if I like it or not, maybe if it was blue....

I couldn't think of a cocktail that would even work with Pocari Sweat so I thought of this instead:

Spicy Oyster Omelet Flavor Chips (Brand Unkown)

Origin - Taiwan
Rating - Not So Good
Ignore ol' Yankee Joe Potato, he's not your friend. Neither are these chips. They have a sour fishy taste but are a little zesty as well. I'm not a fan. The idea was good but the taste never comes together to produce anything worthwhile. Not disgusting but not good. They stink as well. Oh I didn't mention the smell? Think fish market on a hot day, that and the smell they stick into hot dogs. Even still, I have a strange desire to eat them with dill pickle dip...how awful! I'm a bad person.

Bohol's Finest Peanut Fingers

Origin - Philippines
Rating - Not So Good
This is the best Filipino cookie I've ever had. That's not doing it any justice, any Filipino cookies I've had have been absolute turds. This, you can at least swallow. It's hard and crunchy and tastes like peanuts. That's about it. They're pretty bland and boring. They look like they've been squeezed through a playdough factory shape, so....not completely like a turd.

Big Katsu

Origin - Japan
Rating - Donkey Shit
I don't know if someone has played a cruel joke on me or not but I'm 60% sure this is a dog treat, just as sure that the Japanese characters above "UP!" stand for "THROW". What's the fucking deal here, really?? It stinks like a barn, it's kinda rubbery and has some nearly indescribable fish taste. I'm not sure if the brown lines printed on are suppose to be "grill marks" or extra "flavor" (a cringe worthy flavor that one can only imagine is the taste of that little girl's hair from "The Ring").

The biggest Katsu allowed by law

What I don't forgive myself for is looking what's actually inside. Is it egg? Is it pure fat? Is it a piece of Sloth's skin from Goonies? Big Katsu is a mystery even Scooby fucking Doo would run from, stay away!

Pepsi - Salty Watermelon Flavor

 













Origin - Japan
Rating - Good

Pepsi comes out with a couple weird new flavors every few months in Japan. You can only get them in Japan because Pepsi loves Japan and hates us, obviously. I managed to get one on eBay, they're expensive but sometimes someone sells them a little cheaper, you just have to watch. Anyways, despite it's weirdness, it's pretty good. The best way for me to describe it is "Faygo Red Pop" with a "Jolly Rancher" watermelon flavor but maybe a little less sweet. For those of you who've never had a Faygo Red Pop, just think strawberry pop that doesn't taste like strawberry.....just kinda red I guess. I couldn't detect any saltiness, that's probably a good thing. Salty watermelon just screams to be mixed with tequila (it just does!), so I whipped up a little cocktail that turned out a little weird (which is ok because I don't think anyone will ever get to try it).

Looking for: (help a fucker out!)

Occasionally, I come across an item too stupid for me not to have. However, I usually can't justify spending an arm and a leg just to disgust myself for your entertainment. There are a few items I would like to get my hands on that I would gladly pay for (if the price is right: don't be a fucker! I find it odd that it's 1/3 of the price to ship to Canada from Japan/China than it is from the States....seriously!) or even trade for (I've got every kind of international grocery store here in Winnipeg). You could also just send me something to up your "dude" creds. You can contact me at thrashdisaster(@)hotmail.com (only serious inquiries, I don't care about your grandpa's gout!)

EXTREME RAMUNE!!!:

 Curry Ramune (We've done this before but this is the "Hata" brand, we liked the other one....it just doesn't seem fair)

Kimchi Ramune (that's right!)

Teriyaki Ramune (even worse!)

Chili Oil Ramune (Just...wow)

Takoyaki Ramune (WORD!)
















I even hear tales of an onion flavor, but that's another adventure......

Binggrae Melona Ice Waffle - Vanilla Ice with Red Bean

Origin - Korea
Rating - Good
I kept thinking to myself, please don't taste like fish! You wouldn't do that to me, would you Korea? I'm happy to report no, Korea didn't "do me like that". What you have here is a fish shaped crust (kinda like a cheap-o ice cream cone) with vanilla ice cream and a small layer of red bean paste. Red paste you say? Correct. However, I really couldn't taste it that much, it's a little sweet like jam and not too funky (maybe a little gritty like refried beans?). The ice cream is really good but the fish gets kind of soggy fast and it's pretty big.

 It's almost the size of a real bass but improved genetically with red bean paste!

There was something about all this that I just didn't care for though. It's just an odd product.

Tomi Ice Bar - Green Bean

Origin - USA
Rating - Not So Good
There's nothing better on a hot August day than a cool popsickle. Here at Munchies de Sade Labs we have a freezer full of surprises (horrors.), you know....for science? Today's experiment is, well, just a bad idea all around! Tomi's Green Bean ice pop fails to deliver on taste but definitely wins at stupid. It basically tastes like nothing aside from the slightest coconut flavor.....and it's filled with disgusting mushy peas (which i hate. I fucking hate peas.). I can't imagine the joy I'd feel from handing this over to a toddler as a treat, the look of disappointment would be legendary! At least the corn ice bar we had a while back tasted pretty good, this is for pea loving hippies.

Lotte Milkis

 














Origin - Korea
Rating - Awesome
Hey, it's the New Feeling of Soda Beverage!! Let's first ignore that fact it looks like spank-water, shall we? Can we? What we'll discover here is an outstanding product. One that I would even distribute to children (not really, I fucking hate kids.). An outstanding product none the less. Let's just imagine (and we're playing Mad Scientist here...), that we mixed Pineapple Crush with Lime Crush and added a dab of yogurt and ELECTRIFIED IT WITH THE LIGHTNING BOLTS OF ZEUS!!! Minus the Zeus shit and you have Milkis. It's quite tasty. I had a crazy idea, (noooo not make cigars out of it, that's too crazy!) I thought this would be good if you mixed half Milkis & half beer??!! But my beer fridge was empty, so it was a no go. It might be good with Tequila as well, that's a future mix....

Lay's Lemon Tea Flavour Chips

 














Origin-China
Rating-Good
When my buddy presented me with these chips, I thought, "Oh these are going to be fucking gross." But I was wrong. They do taste like sweet iced tea flavour chips, but I like iced tea so it's hard not to like them. The sweetness was a little odd on a potato chip, but not offensive. I ate a bunch of them actually. I did get bored of them after a while. The novelty wears off despite their goodness, and your like, "Why the fuck am I eating chips that taste like iced tea?"

Rating-Awesome
Have you ever had a chip that tasted like cinnamon mixed with chili pepper? That's what these tasted like and I gotta tell you, it's a combination that works. I never thought I would enjoy a chip that tasted like cinnamon but they were pretty awesome. I have no idea what the fuck a hot pot is or what the fuck is in it, but I would definitely give it a shot. They were a little spicy but nothing overpowering.

These were my buddy's favourite chips while he was in China, so he insisted I try them. I thought, "Oh great, chips that taste like fucking rotting fish." But I was wrong. They have a subtle flavour that is not offensive at all. No overpowering fish taste. I wouldn't go out of my way to get them, but they really weren't that bad.

Wrigley's Doublemint Cucumber Gum

Rating-Awesome
My buddy brought this back from China for me. I was hesitant at first, I don't even like cucumber. But I was pleasantly surprised. Sort of a minty cucumber flavour. When you pop one in your mouth, you sort of are perplexed for a minute, like this doesn't seem right. But then they kind of grow on you. Nothing offensive at all. Kind of a good time really.

Green Plus Fruit Snack - Tomato & Tamarind Flavor

Origin - Thailand
Rating - Not so Good
If you are a Canadian or American reader, you may remember *Fizz* candies? The hard candy with the fizzy sherbert powder center? These are somewhat like those but soft and not really fizzy and taste like tamarind. Stupid, I know, but that's what they remind me of! I'm not sure where the tomato flavor comes into play, I couldn't taste any. These are just boring and blah.

Century Tuna - Tuna Loaf

Origin - Philippines
Rating - Donkey Shit
I held off on this one frankly because I was scared. It looks somewhat alright on the can but as we all know, the guts are the glory. It smells like cat food, however, Devo (our cat) would shy away every time I brought this close to her nose.....not a good sign! Take this as a warning in the future, like when miners used birds as a sign of danger. Luckily Devo is not dead. I, on the other hand, feel as though I may perish at any time and I can't wash the smell off my hands.....it's become part of me....

Upon emptying the can, I was disappointed to see that you couldn't get it out like the picture suggests, in *loaf* form. It looks like silly putty and feels clammy and dense. Our tuna loaf dish tastes artificial, like what tuna might taste like if it were manufactured. Totally awful, not even the MSG is lending a helping hand. Thanks again Philippines!

The texture was retched. It was dry and crumbly kind of like flour & water that had been sitting out. I think that's the worst part of this product, the texture. Devo also hates me a bit more....

*UPDATE* ~ CAN BE USED THE SAME AS SILLY PUTTY! YAY FOR POPEYE!

Kurkure Green Chutney Rajasthani Style

Origin - India
Rating - Not So Good
These could easily be mistaken for crunchy Cheeto's texture wise but they are bland and a smell like dog food with lime. Definitely not the worst chips I've had but just not that great, they're the slightest bit spicy and have a slight lime taste. What offends me is the back of the bag, look, if you know your product sucks don't try to influence me into dressing it up with bad recipes. I'm not going to shove these into a waffle cone with potatoes, that's just madness. I know, let's pour strawberry ramune in our eyes while we're at it. Someone needs to hold these guys down with a slap and finger point.

Lay's Brand - India's Magic Masala

Origin - India
Rating - Boston Baked Beans
I'm not so sure about these. Don't get me wrong, I love Indian food but these are kinda funky. I could just be biased from my last masala experience (WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!). I like the fact that these are spicy and a little savory but there's this underlying funk that I don't care for. It's like a sour shoe taste, I don't know. Magic Masala is definitely not as "Dhak Dhak" as the bag claims and more "Burn it with fire" if it gets out of control.

They smell like ginger and chili's as they should. It was a promising start.  The taste while you're chewing is frankly strange. There's a funk that I just can't put my finger on. But then the after taste is really nice and spicy. Yummy really. So I put another in my mouth and was reminded of how it was kinda gross...but then it was tasty again. And with each subsequent chip I felt stupider and stupider.

Oishi Brand - Marty's Baconette Strips

Origin - Philippines
Rating - Good
If it weren't for the immediate stench of Paul Bunyan's taint upon opening the bag, I think I would have enjoyed them a little more. What's all this shit about "No Meat Goodness"? There's no bacon in the baconette strips. They taste close to pork rinds though, a little smokey and salty. They have a crunch close to flatted Funyuns but not soggy. They're not bad, a little beer always helps.

Even though they were kind enough to include TBHQ (whatever the hell that is) to retard rancidity the pkg. still warns you to consume immediately after opening. So, let's move fast we don't want them to turn to dust Weenie Tots style. I was expecting these to have a horrendous gag inducing dog treat smell and was pleasantly surprised when it had an only mildly disgusting dog treat smell. But you know what? They're not bad. It's like Marty took a cheeto, put smoky bacon chip flavoring on it then ran it over with a steamroller.
