Ocean's Halo Seaweed Chips

I love to try out new snacks, particular salty, crunchy ones, like interesting chips.  So when I saw Ocean's Halo "seaweed chips", I was intrigued.  Unlike just dried seaweed snacks, these are actual chips, made from seaweed and rice flour.  According to their website, "Ocean’s Halo™ Seaweed Chips are the first totally delicious crispy, crunchy chip made from natural, sustainablely harvested and nutrient-rich seaweed. Perfect for anyone who craves a...

More Cupcakes from Cako

Cupcakes are seemingly still a thing.  I kinda thought they'd be over by now.  But I guess I'm part of the problem, as I continue to try cupcakes all over the place, even though I am rarely happy with them.  I've had cupcakes from Cako before, and didn't love them.  But ...

I've basically tried all of Rubio's seafood tacos at...

New Cinnamon Rolls from 7-Eleven

I have very little familiarity with 7-Eleven.  I grew up in a town without one, and as far as I know, there still aren't any within miles of my hometown.  Although I'd heard of them, I didn't have my first Slurpee until last summer. Beyond Slurpees, I knew basically nothing about 7-Eleven.  Just a convenience store right?  When I went on my Slurpee visit I noticed that they had things like hot dogs and nachos, but I couldn't imagine ever getting...
