#1Yokiero Cheese PuffsThese should not be confused with Cheetos Cheese Puffs, or any knock off puffs brand, because they are not the same! They are cheese flavored, but the flavoring is very faint. They mostly taste like puffy air. They are not good enough to have a substantial market at USU. Although there was a temporary tattoo in the bag which made them fun to open and eat... ;)
#2 Trakinas Chocolate Strawberry CookiesThese were super good! There were about ten cookies packaged in a roll. There was a large assortment and variety of flavor combinations. There were chocolate and vanilla cookies with caramel, strawberry and chocolate fillings. I randomly selected chocolate cookies with strawberry filling. They were flavorful and satisfying! :)
It's hard to say if they could compete with some of the bigger established cookies, but if they were marketed well, I think they would sell at USU. It might be fun to play around with them and have blue filling and a USU or aggie print on the face of the cookie specifically for Utah State.
I thought it was pretty funny to see that Halls were marketed as candy all over South America!
It's true!
It was also interesting to see the difference in Mentos! In Rio, we foud a store that sold about ten different flavors of Mentos candy. In the states, I've only seen two or three flavor options for the candy. It was interesting to see the bigger selection/offering, and I wondered how successfully they sold in Brasil, and why. I also wondered if they had ever thought about introducing more flavors into the common US market. They had a good chewy consistency and were just taste-y and fun to eat! :)
It was interesting to see all the types of snack foods around Chile, Peru and Brasil. I found a lot of snacks that were similar to things we have in the U.S., and some that were totally different.
Note: Just for kicks, I should mention that I tried meat flavored potato chips.
They were super gross. ha seriously, yuck! They would not sell at USU!
