Vitamin

The vitamin for dad's eyes is on sale at Walmart. Got the last bottle. Turns out brother managed to get some from Superstore. They have the price match policy so there was no need to go all the way to Walmart. Stupid me.

2 of 5

Second of the 5 batches arrived, from Istanbul Turkey, in registered mail. The date was stamped Oct 14. So it only takes 1 week. The shipping cost was $4 for my purchase. ($3 for the first item, and $0.5 for each subsequent item.)

Come on Canada Post, they can send international registered mail with signature for only $4! Can't you do better? (When I last checked, it took $9 for the same service to send to Asia.)

Have been trying to add bead caps to some teardrop shaped glass beads, but the wire is too thick and hard. Not working too well. Need thinner one. And I haven't seen any bronze colour wire for sale alone. These were actually eye pins used as wire. A big waste.

Kettle chips: salted

After the Dijon and cheddar, this is very plain and blend. Nothing special. Just chips. Even a bit tough and over cooked. Well, after all, this is the default with no bells or whistles. Can't expect too much.

Kettle chips: cheddar

There was only one bag left, so I logically thought this must be the best flavour.

Wrong.
Turns out it's not as good as honey Dijon.
Honey Dijon leans towards the sweet side, while cheddar leans towards the salty. (Duh!) It doesn't have as much depth. I can hardly taste the cheese.

Picture of the day: impossible back alley.

Kettle chips: honey Dijon

On sale at London Drug. $5 for 3. I was hoping to find Lay's, but this will do. Couldn't resist trying the unusual flavours. This honey Dijon is pretty good! So good, it's addictive! I ate the whole bag in 2 days. The only thing I don't like about this chip is its thickness. It's too thick, making it too hard and less crunchy. Oh, and it's a little over cooked too.

1 of 5

First of the 5 batched arrived. That was fast! Only 4 days after the purchase! But it's from Ontario. It should take about 3 days for national mail. So... It's just normal.

The plastic pearls are 3mm instead of 2mm as described in the listing. I wonder if it's a typo, or a shipping mistake.

Napolitanke

(Yup, this is a stocked up review. Handy for down time.)
Thanks Andrew again! This European hazel nut wafer is excellent. Until now, all of this kind of wafer I've ever tried, has been a bit waxy. This doesn't not. Sweetness is just right, and feels very light. (Whether or not it's light in calories is another matter.) However, it doesn't have the addictiveness of "junk food", so I can say with confidence that this is not unhealthy. Well, relatively.
