Tell us what foreign snacks, candy, and drinks you think are the tastiest. Are there any you want to try but haven't yet? Here's a list of my favorites.



Monster Munch
Discovered these chips at the airport in Paris. Love the shape, texture, and different flavors.

Pocky
Tried these on a high school trip to Japan before they became popular in the States. Japan seems to have an endless variety of them.



Japanese Kit Kats
Ordered an excellent variety box from Bokksu.com once.

Ramune bottled soda
Mainly for the novelty of the marble and the loud noise it makes when it's opened.



Prince cookies
Delicious French cookie brand.

Dubai Chocolate
Amazing combo of chocolate, pistachio, and crunchy knafeh. Still haven't tried the original from Dubai.

Coffee flavored caramel candy
A friend brought some back from a mission trip to Mexico once and I couldn't stop eating them.

The Jury's Still Out...

I just tried mango-flavored Pepsi from France. Hated the first sip but it slowly grew on me.

Wishlist

Irn Bru
I hear it's as good as Mountain Dew. Can't confirm yet.



Jollibee
Not a snack, but I still need to try this fast food restuarant from the Philippines. I've read many positive reviews.

5/10/2026 5:38:29 PM

Let me know what you think if you ever work up the nerve to order lol

5/10/2026 5:42:41 PM

I thought it was just a chicken place. I had no idea it was from phillipines

5/10/2026 5:45:39 PM

Yep, and apparently they like spaghetti with chopped up hot dogs as a side.

5/10/2026 5:51:26 PM

I tried a popular Saudi fried chicken fast food joint called Al Baik a couple of times. The fried chicken wasn't bad, but all the sides looked and tasted like public school cafeteria food.

5/10/2026 5:54:46 PM

"The Chickenjoy is widely considered the best thing on the Jollibee menu, having been named the #1 best fast-food fried chicken in the U.S. by USA TODAY’s 10Best for two consecutive years. It is celebrated for its hand-breaded, "crispy-licious" skin and "juicy-licious" interior, always served with a signature savory gravy"

Customers like the Jolly Spaghetti and Peach Mango Pie too.

5/10/2026 7:43:37 PM

Right now the game plan is to have this for lunch tomorrow

5/13/2026 8:15:20 PM

Good luck! Hope it won't disappoint.

5/13/2026 8:17:17 PM

Looking at menu now

I'm thinking spicy chicken, ultimate bacon angus, smallest spaghetti they do, fries, mashed potatoes and gravy, and mango pie? Maybe one more thing but it will he hard to eat all that. Even before I was on the 9mg ozempic pill, that would be like all i eat for the day

So you only liked 3 out of 8? Would you go again just for the burgers, fries, and biscuits? Their fried chicken is supposed to be fire.

Check your inbox, btw.

should you guys just PM each other maybe

MrGreen, you should move to China since you like to censor Christian speech so much. You can help Xi censor the Bible as they are doing now.

5/15/2026 4:07:13 PM

Mashed potatoes were good but hard to f those up and its just the powdered kind you add water to like kfc etc

Maybe I'll try tenders or bone-in chicken next time if there is a next time. If I wanted a burger and fries and I was close, i'd consider going there. Burger had a real good "homemade" taste to it

Def wouldn't get chicken sandwich, rice, pie, or spaghetti again. Chicken sandwich i wrapped up to finish later. Rice, pie, and spaghetti I didn't even finish. I was already kinda full and they were kinda crappy

The adobe rice was the worst of anything I got, it just had a really funky taste.

5/15/2026 4:52:33 PM

I'm gonna try their Chickenjoy if I ever get the chance.

5/15/2026 5:32:32 PM

^^^ you should move to Jhina, then you could suck off Xi Jinping like your dear leader did

5/15/2026 11:08:16 PM

those Japanese peanuts you get from the tienda
Australian black licorice
Ramune

5/16/2026 8:48:30 AM

The mexicans i used to work with loved some watermelon sucker that had like tajin or some weird powder spice coating...i thought they were horrible

5/16/2026 9:04:17 AM

what is this nonsense about China censoring Christian speech?
meanwhile Christian action is being made illegal in the US by the party that clutches the Bible to it's chest

pluck out the beam from your own eye, why doncha?

It's not nonsense. Do you live in a cave?

Quote :

"Yes, the Chinese government heavily restricts Christian free speech as part of a broader crackdown on religious activities that do not align with Communist Party goals. Strict rules regulate or ban online preaching, evangelism, and any religious activity deemed a threat to national security or public order."

Additionally, the government is rewriting the Bible to reflect Communist principles.

Quote :

"The Chinese Communist Party is rewriting the Bible. As part of Xi Jinping’s “Sinicization of Christianity” campaign, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) plans to ensure Christianity in China is instilled with “core socialist values.” Pursuant to that effort, the CCP is currently working on its own translation of what it calls the “Chinese Christian Bible.” While it has yet to complete the project, the CCP has already given Christians a glimpse of what the world’s first communist Bible might look like. In China, the Ten Commandments became nine, then six, then zero. In 2018, mere months after Xi announced his “Five-Year Plan to Sinicize Christianity,” authorities forced a state-approved church in Henan Province to delete the First Commandment, “You shall have no other gods before Me.” The removal of arguably the single most important line of text not just for Christianity, but for all three Abrahamic faiths, is a strike against the very heart of religion. Later that year, the government changed the curriculum of a Sunday school in Hong Kong, removing not just the first four Commandments, but all references to “the Lord.” The entire book of Genesis was also removed. In 2019, the CCP completed this progression and replaced the Ten Commandments wholesale with Xi Jinping quotes. Within the span of a year, “You shall have no god before me” became “Use Chinese Culture to permeate faith” and “follow the party.” The CCP has also targeted John 8:3-11, among the most famous passages in the New Testament. In the original story, when the Pharisees bring Jesus a woman accused of adultery, he replies, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone at her.” He then forgives the woman. A textbook published by China’s University of Electronic Science and Technology Press, a government-run school, changes the ending. After the Pharisees leave, Christ tells the woman “I too am a sinner. But if the law could only be executed by men without blemish, the law would be dead.” Jesus then personally stones her to death."

"those Japanese peanuts you get from the tienda"

I was gonna post these. Always funny to me that we get the Japanese peanuts from a hispanic store. They're good.

5/16/2026 1:32:12 PM

if they get old they can be hard on the teeth but I like the extra crunchy peanuts - especially if they are spicy, salty, and maybe lime flavored

they go great with beer
