2024 Summer Road Trip - Maryland - 2024/08/13

Continuing with our Summer 2024 Road Trip, it's time to travel into Maryland! 

Tangy Ketchup Doritos and Hot Mustard Doritos Taste Test Comparison

I love finding different Doritos flavors! My family even did a taste test with 23 different flavors! 

So, I was thrilled to find another version of that tasty corn tortilla chip. We've got some interesting flavors to try here today. 

Doritos Tangy Ketchup and Doritos Hot Mustard! 

And along with the Doritos chips, we're going to compare it to the real thing by dipping plain tortilla chips in ketchup and mustard. Will they get the flavor right? 

Both chips are in appropriately colored bags. 

Thank you Patrick for finding these and picking them up. 

Japanese Hi-Chew Taste Test

One of our favorite candies in the United States are Starbursts. Originally made in the UK in 1959, they're a delicious chewy taffy with a great flavor. 

In 1975, Hi-Chew fruit candies were made in Japan, as an edible kind of chewing gum, since spitting out gum is bad manners. Since then, over 170 different flavors have been created. During a visit to Japan, we picked up 5 different flavors we found and brought them home to try! 

There's Green Apple, Asian Pean, Grape, Strawberry, and Lemon. 

Japanese Curry Pringles - taste test comparison

One of the best parts about traveling is all the unique snacks that you can find! While we were in Japan in Fall 2023, we found a special treat by Pringles! Japanese Curry! 

These Pringles came in a pack with three snack size containers of Pringles in a fancy embossed black box. Of course when we tried them, we had to make our own curry to see how it all compared! 

Grape Milkis Taste Test - A New Flavor!

On a recent trip, after finding a Korean restaurant for dinner, we were shocked and delighted to see a brand new Milkis flavor that we've never tried before! Grape! 

We tried all of the 6 previously released flavors, including comparing the bottled Milkis to the canned Milkis, and we've even tried a Milkis knock-off called Milky Pop! How will this new one compare?

The can has a purple color to it, indicating grape I suppose. Previous cans we've seen have a woman in a dress with an umbrella being lifted away. This can design has two people on it. A man holding onto a heart balloon with a wand, and a woman in a skirt being blown away with an umbrella. 

2024 Summer Road Trip - Delaware - 2024/08/12

It's another travel day as we continue our trip across the US and try to close out our RV map. We're almost done! 

Delicious Sticks from Japan taste test

While visiting Japan, I loved looking through the shops and grocery stores for all the different treats! 

I'm relying on Google Translate to help me with the name on the package. Near as I an tell, it's something like Delicious Stick. 

These snacks are like giant puffy Cheetos! Except there's only one giant one in the package. The other thing I thought that was wild was the price! It was something like 18 Japanese Yen for one package, which is equivalent to about $0.12 each. There were four different flavors I found while I was looking. Corn Potage, Cheese, Mentai, and Vegetable Salad.
