Corn Chips 콘칲 (Crown)



Corn Chips 콘칲 from Crown. Considering the sunflower in the package, sunflower oil must have been used to make it...lol. 군옥수수맛 (according to my Oppa walking and talking dictionary) translates to "Barbecue Corn Flavor" but Google translate says that it's "Military Corn"...^o^ I trust the former.

They're thin, crisp, and light chips that isn't heavily seasoned with flavored powder, which is good!

A look inside the bag... which is almost, always... 50 percent air. ^o^

Product Name: Corn Chips 콘칲 .. that's it.. flat out. These are Corn Chips! 

Hole in the Pocket: Got it for free, but it wouldn't be more than Php 40, I guess..^^;;

First Impression: Made me say, "This will probably taste bland, but I don't like strong flavors at the moment...so it might be good."

Taste Buds Say: I was right... it was good! It's nice to munch on and there's no chemical-like after taste that you get after eating BBQ snacks or something like that. The light flavor and thinness of the chips didn't make me feel too guilty but it seemed like I only ate a little. So, if you're hungry, you'll probably need three bags of this chips..^^

Reminds me of: Original / Natural flavored Kornets.

K-rating: 4/5... slightly sweet, not salty, light and crispy.

Jolly Pong 죠리퐁

This is Oppa's 6 pack...LOL... Six packs of snacks for everyone (actually, it's just for me but, the  phrase "스낵 친구들" on the package translates to "snacks for friends")!

I'll kick off the six pack review with the popular Jolly Pong 죠리퐁. 

Given that it's a corn & wheat based cereal, it has 150 kcal. Not bad for those on a diet..and still a lot better than a bag of 350 kcal potato chips. ^^

Here are the corn puffs of Jolly Pong 죠리퐁 out from the bag.

Puffed corn glazed with honey or sugary syrup.

And since it can be considered as a breakfast cereal, I usually eat my Jolly Pong 죠리퐁 snack with milk... milk tea! ♥



Product Name: Jolly Pong 죠리퐁... I guess it's just a catchy name for a snack..a Jolly good snack.

Hole in the Pocket: I'm not sure about it's actual selling price in a grocery. I'm guessing, no more than Php 40 a bag.

First Impression: Because of it's popularity (yes, if you search "Jolly Pong" in Google, you're bound to find a great deal of reviews), I was expecting it to live up to its fame. The packaging is simple and you'll know you're about to it some kind of puffed corn cereal.

Taste Buds Say: Crunchy and sweet! But not too sweet..reminds me of Honey Stars. Though it's texture is kinda rough, probably because of the wheat, it's okay for me. It's distinct cereal/grainy taste makes you feel like you're actually eating a healthy snack. However, because of it's "puffed" nature and a single piece seems to be 60% air, you'll have to scoop out and throw more than 7 pieces of puffed pieces to appreciate it.

K-rating: 4/5.. my snack of choice when I feel too fat for potato chips. ^o^
