Highlights

I'm actually very excited to make this video, my colleagues were very much looking forward to this day

We are going to run these snacks into three different tiers: the first one snack topia are finest, second one edible, and the third ones are snack that I would just eat when there zombie apocalypse

It's bursting with flavor, about a year ago I saw my boyfriend's Uncle ate this and that was the first time I saw peanut snack like this before

I think it's a very German thing okay, cuz I love it, it's one of my favorite snacks that I discover in Germany

I never know that many cheese have eatable mold outside, I never know that

It tastes like you're doing bubble gum, I'm shocked I thought it tastes like nothing, it tast but oh my gosh I love it

Every year we need to stockpile them because they just have them for limited amount of time

My mouth is busting with flavor, why you staring at me like that, you don't like it or what?

You fed me definitely snack topia

No no no I don't love it that much because it's not that salty like the pretzel but it's still in snack topia list for sure

Every single potato chips in Germany taste like this, it's just different shape

Please not for me

I was hyping it up so hot before but now I noce it's so good it's edible

You really don't like all of my childhood thinks I'm sorry

I cannot believe we try all of them, this one is still my favorite so far it's so shocking
