Everything inside the box!

Unfortunately, the Marshmallow Twist which belongs to the Premium category wasn’t included in the box even though it should be. How can I survive the movie plot twist without the fluffy twisty treat?

Mango Pokemon Soda. Who doesn’t like Pokemon? The kids love it because of the cartoon and the game app. This is a tasty and refreshing mango drink to have while munching on chips. Just as long as I can see Pikachu in the bottle, I’m good.

Kinako Crackers. Well, I find romantic comedy movies crackin’ and this is just the snack to pair it with. These are rice crackers coated with sweet kinako or roasted soybean powder.

Calbee Kishu Plum Chips. These crunchy chips are made with fresh potatoes. To make it more unique, they added the tangy kishu plum as a flavor. The taste of the plum was intense. If you like Japanese plum, you’ll probably like this snack too.

Pretty Cure Popcorn. I have high expectations for this popcorn because we all know it’s a staple and your best friend when there’s no one to keep you company on movie nights. It’s a relief that my expectations were answered with tasty pops of strawberry caramel kernels. To top it all off, we are given a kawaii character sticker too!

Kinako No Yama Chocolate Banana. This is our “what could’ve been snack” last month. They gave us a substitute for it and now we have the chance to try it! This is reminiscent of the chocolate bananas often served in festivals. It’s a delicious sweet cocoa cookie topped with two layers of chocolate.

Hokkaido Matcha Milk Candy. I’m more of a munchies person when it comes to the movie treats but if you want a steady flavor hard candy, this is your snack! It’s flavorful with real milk from Hokkaido mixed with fresh matcha.

Okinawa Pineapple Hi-Chew. Every bar is so chewy and has a tangy sweet Okinawa pineapple flavor to every bite. Yummo!

Spicy Pepper Pea Corn Puff Rings. These will surely spice things up most especially during sizzling scenes. It has a rich spicy pepper pea taste flavor that is addicting.

Brown Sugar Traditional Wheat Puff. If you are into samurai films or historical period films then this snack is a match made in heaven. This is a wheat puff snack coated with sweet brown sugar that is a known traditional treat.

Shrimp Mayonnaise Umaibo. The box suggests watching Forrest Gump because Bubba will approve this snack. This will satisfy our cravings with the savory shrimp taste tamed by the punch of mayonnaise.

Strawberry Soft Serve Ice Cream DIY. This month’s DIY snack is pretty easy to make, just mix the powder with water and voila! The slightly sweet and sour strawberry soft serve is ready to accompany you on a movie night. Love easy DIYs like this one!

Stretchy Grapes Gummies. These strips of grape gummies taste natural and delicious. It’s fun to eat because you can stretch, rip, and tear these and eat them at your own pace. Or separate it strip by strip and stick it in your craw like you’re a walrus.

Anpanman Fluffy Corn Puffs. These yummy corn snacks are light and airy. It’s packed with calcium, so it’s a great snack even for kids.

We always munch on something while watching movies. It is the perfect time to relax and no one will judge you about snacking on nonstop because they are all focused on the movie! There are even suggestions of what genre or specific movie to watch that goes with the taste of every product. The marshmallow twist was not included in the box without any replacement. I could’ve been eating those while solving the unexpected plot twist. Good thing the rest of the box tastes delicious. They gave us the chocolate bananas that they missed last month and I’m glad that I was able to try it. It’s worth the wait. The snacks amplified my movie experience!
