Nintendo Power Mints

This week, I’ll be posting things I’ve found in my bedroom while cleaning up…

Now this 4 year old candy looks a little safer to eat. This package, in the shape of a Nintendo Entertainment System controller, was tightly sealed and the mints were dry …although a few stuck together. They were even similar in shape and size of the B & A buttons.

Turned out to be okay. I put them out for people to eat during our Super Bowl party.  I don’t think anyone got sick. If anything, it cured some hangovers.

Whatever happened to Nester? Remember Nester?

Pizza Candy

This week, I’ll be posting things I’ve found in my bedroom while cleaning up…

I found this old Pizza Candy in my room. Small piece. I only had one of them. How long does candy last? My friends said forever. I don’t know if that’s true.

I tasted it anyway. It didn’t really taste like pizza. Sort of perfume-y and fruity. Kind of like a date. Shit. That almost sounds like a joke, but I meant the fruit.

Hello Kitty Snack Pack

Sam Shady got me this pack of Hello Kitty snacks, exclusively sold in Japan (at least that’s what the package says). I forgot how he got it. I’ve been sitting on it for a long time. I was waiting until I got my 3D lens. I got the 3D lens, but then realized I needed a macro 3D lens. So I finally got that. The expiration date on the snacks has passed by now by several months. I ate it anyway.

The was a big Cheeto Cheese Puff Tube. That was probably the best thing in there. It sorta had a slight shrimp flavor, like fried prawn crackers at Chinese restaurants. Then there was another bag of Cheese Puffs. These didn’t taste like the big tube. They were more bland. Then there was a small bag of tiny crispy noodles. These tasted the most stale by now. And there was a small pink heart hard candy. That tasted the most kawaii.

Okay, I realized that the 3D shots weren’t going to look good for this when I was shooting. I left one 3D shot in there. You need a parallel 3D stereoscopic viewer.

Japanese Baskin Robbins Chocolate Candy

Sam gave me a pack of this Baskin Robbins chocolate he found at an Asian grocery. It’s made by Fujiya LOOK. The flavors are strawberry cheesecake, jamoca coffee, orange sherbet and vanilla. I thought they all tasted like nougat. Sam says the package recommends putting it in the fridge to chill. I put it in the freezer. More is better?

I don’t know what it says, but the Japanese Baskin Robbins site looks fun. They need to bring that green tea waffle cone over here.
