Universal Yums Favorites - August '16 (Brazil) through January '17 (Ukraine)

This isn't a review of the Internation Yums boxes.  Those are a dime a dozen on YouTube.  This is just my way of remembering my favorites for future reference.

Brazil 

August 2016

Torcida Pimenta Mexicana

• These are like jalapeno flavored goldfish with a thinner shell and more air in the middle.  Crunchy, savory, and adddicting.

Thailand

September 2016

Fashion Food Tomato Flavored Cracker

• I was surprised that I liked these.  They look like chips but have a styrofoam-like texture similar to some crackers, and they taste like ketchup.  Seriously amazing.

Sanghai Strawberry Cream Wafers

• Just like the strawberry wafer cookies here in the states, but better somehow.

Hanami Shrimp Crackers Hot Chili Flavor

• Less of a cracker, and more like Andy Capp fries.  Spicy and not really all that shrimpy.

Russia

October 2016

Skazochniy Strawberry Mini Sponge Cake

• Cakey outside, slightly tart strawberry filling inside.  More like a muffin than a sponge cake.

Indonesia

November 2016

TicTac Spicy Crackers

• Not at all spicy, and super hard (therefore loud to eat) but tastes almost like an Asian version of BBQ and gets tastier the more you eat.....

Chiki Cheese Balls

• Like cheesy poofs, but with a corn base (or so it tasted) and in weird colors!

Germany

December 2016

Fritt Karamell Toffee

• Such a weird flavor, but strangely delicious.  It's like caramel and toffee flavors at the same time, but then in a taffy consistency.  So weird.

Ukraine

January 2017

Flint Bread Sticks/Bread Snacks
Sour Cream with Herb flavor and Red Caviar flavor

• Kind of like hard Gardetto's breadsticks.  Flavoring isn't consistent on each breadstick (some are stronger than others) so it's best to eat it by the handful.  The left tastes like sour cream & onion and the left only tastes slightly like roe, mostly like salt.

Svitoch Peach Yogurt Milk Chocolate Bar

• Like orange chocolate, but peach.  VERY peach.

Fizzy Boom Hard Candies

• Normal, pleasant hard candy outside, surprisingly sour inside that shoots out like a soda bottle that someone shook up.

Non Universal Yums International Favorites

Nestle Toffe Crisp

• Even though these are Nestle, I only ever found them in the UK.  My favorite international chocolate bar yet.

Island Bakery Lemon Melts

• I had these on a couple of British Airways flights, and I loved them so much that the air hostess gave me 8 or so bags!

Tao Kae Noi Tom Yum Goong Flavor

• Like a potato chip, but made from toasted seaweed.
