Super-sweet chocolate + crunchy cookies = Black Thunder

It had been a really, really long time since I'd had Black Thunder. It was hugely popular for a while, and I was obsessed with it in elementary school. I heard you couldn't even buy it in Japan back then!

I think one of my classmates brought back a bag to hand out to everyone, and everyone looked at them like they were a celebrity. It was hilarious 😆

I was no exception, because I also wanted to taste what everyone was scrambling to get〜

Sure enough, it tasted extra special. I also had a huge sweet tooth back then. Wow, it was so good〜 I really wanted another one.

Back then, anyone who had Black Thunder was a celebrity. Elementary school was so simple and uneventful, haha.

But now,

when I see it at a convenience store, I don't even feel like buying it. So funny.

I've noticed that chocolate products often cause buying frenzies in Taiwan. Does everyone remember the dirty chocolate bun?

After the disappointment of not getting to try the freshly fried fries, I started buying up a ton of stuff. I was just looking through my photos and found this. Everyone, please, this is so good. I originally thought it looked pretty unremarkable, but it turned out to be super delicious. I devoured a whole box by myself...

But then again, I'm already a potato lover. This is Tokyo-exclusive, right?!

(I once saw a book at Eslite called

“Crazy for Potatoes,” and I honestly think the author and I could become sworn sisters. Not sure if she'd want to though, haha.)

Ugh, I wish I'd bought a few more boxes.

It's seriously delicious〜the kind that leaves you licking your fingers and savoring the flavor,

because there's so much seasoning powder.

With Koikeya, I've always thought the classics were seaweed salt and spicy ridged chips. I've realized I prefer ridged chips, but somehow I barely remember these lightly salted ones?

Maybe because I usually eat other flavors more. Oh, right, there's also a plum flavor.

My dad loves the plum flavor too. You can get it at Daiso in Taiwan〜

I love them so much that someone bought me two cases.

So funny

These potato chips are insanely expensive, with a reputation for being thick and super delicious, and they're only available at Hankyu in Osaka.

As someone who loves potatoes, how could I pass them up? Even if my super stingy aunt nagged me, I was still going to buy them. She looked shocked when she saw the price, but I happily bought them anyway. Sorry, I still don't understand the hardships of life⋯

But that aunt actually bought some too after seeing me buy them! Even her son was shocked, so funny.

Unfortunately, I have an unsophisticated palate. All I could tell was that they were thick. As for everything else, I was just like, um⋯ yeah⋯ sorry.

But I gave some to someone, and my friend said, “Yeah, they're thick,” and that was it. So funny.

Looks like my friends and I all have unsophisticated palates〜

They do have quite a few flavors, though, and the portions are pretty small.

I think they're worth trying for the novelty!

Found the photo in my pile of souvenirs, hehe.
