Up for review today are Mini Choco Curls by Meiji. These are an off-shoot of the famous Japanese cheese curl snacks of the same company. The regular cheese curl snacks are much larger than these chocolate ones; I’d equate them to Cheetos Puffs in the US. They have the same texture and taste, and before you know it the bag you’re eating is empty; they’re light little snacks that are darn good. This new little red package of chocolate puffs feels somewhat like a pre-packaged container of cereal….and on the package, of course, is a picture of Uncle Karl, the bearded mascot of the cheese curls who looks like Bluto from Popeye with a little green frog on his shoulder on the front. Karl is saying how small these little snacks are, since they’re miniature versions of the regular puffs. Here’s a couple pictures of the regular puffs, for comparison’s sake:
Mmm, I love the Choco Curls. I just can’t find them anywhere! I guess they are not in high demand, huh. 🙂
The last anime convention we went to, we got a whole flat of them for $5 because no one was buying them. I just finished my last package! Sigh….. 🙂
