VARIOUS JAPANESE SNACKS: VIDEO REVIEW

OK, look, y'all.  I know that this particular set of reviews will not be useful to you unless you are thinking about buying some random Japanese snack foods.  In fact, I have no idea if all of them are Japanese or if some of them are from other places, mainly because I couldn't read the writing on the all of packages, just the English labels that said what each item was.  However, on the off chance that you need to know about this stuff, I reviewed it.  I also reviewed it on a video, which is new for me.  Sorry if I'm not the exotic Nordic goddess you'd envisioned in you mind while reading my other reviews, 'cause I know that's what you were doing.  Also, just a warning, the lighting in my kitchen is terrible, so I look a bit like a sea hag.  You've been warned, so don't be scared.

So, here is the story that prompted this particular thing:  Some of my very favorite cousins know that I like to try new, and often unusual, types of pre-packaged food. (FYI, I specify the "pre-packaged" part, because I'm not the kind of person who walks into a restaurant and orders the weirdest thing on the menu and hopes there isn't some form of testicle in it. I refuse to fall victim to some joker chef's shenanigans.)  Anyway, they sent me a care package crammed full of Asian snacks from a place called H Mart, or at least I think that's what it's called.   I loved-loved-loved the gift, and I thought to myself "Hey, since I can't share the snacks with them (which I probably would have done if they'd been here when I opened the box. Well, unless it was something really good and I wanted to hoard it.) I think I'll let them know what I thought about each package by video, so they can see my reaction to each different thing." So, in all honesty, this video was made specifically for the McGee family, but if you close your eyes and pretend, you can be a McGee for a moment and feel I'm talking to you!  I mean, if you want. 

Eh, it seemed like a good idea at the time.  So here is the video.  I know I usually go into a lot more detail with the items I review, but I made the video in July and just realized that it would be fun to post it here, so you'll just have to pause and write down the names of stuff if you want to buy it yourself because I don't have all of the packaging anymore!  Seriously, just pause the video and write the name of the stuff down.  Geez, I can't do everything for you, you know!
