The contents of my Fukuda "gift pack", a.k.a. definitive proof that God exists:
I thought it only contained "24 cartons each of Fukuda Potato Stixz (sour cream and onion flavor) and Fukuda Twister Pea Chips (creamy onion and garlic)" (quoted from my last entry)". Boy, I was wrong. But I was never so glad to be so wrong:
...or at the very least, you should at least think that my whole Fukuda experience was pretty darn cool! Here is one happy kid:
And this is me with Mr. Fukuda, Fukuda-san, or whatever the mascot's name is:
And even better: defying all logic, I actually lost 2 pounds this past week (from excitement?), despite my new hoard of snaxz. Fukuda product reviews to come in the next few posts.

- 30 boxes of Fukuda Chipz - 5 flavors: Original, Wasabi Lobster, Sour Cream and Onion, Barbecue, Cheese. 2 sizes: one big, one small. 3 boxes per size per flavor. 5 x 2 x 3 = 30.
- 18 boxes of Fukuda Twister Pea Chips - 3 flavors: Original, Wasabi Lobster, Creamy Onion and Garlic. 2 sizes: one big, one small. 3 boxes per size per flavor. 3 x 2 x 3 = 18.
- 15 boxes of Fukuda Potato Stixz - 5 flavors: Original, Wasabi Lobster, Sour Cream and Onion, Barbecue, Cheese. Only 1 size. 3 boxes per size per flavor. 5 x 1 x 3 = 15.
- Grand total: 63 boxes of Fukuda snacks. There goes my diet!

My Fukuda gift pack has arrived! It took a few weeks, but I was pleasantly surprised when a truck actually arrived to deliver it at our doorstep! I was stunned!
Holy lords of junk food! The "gift pack" turned out to be two whole boxes of snacks. That's 24 cartons each of Fukuda Potato Stixz (sour cream and onion flavor) and Fukuda Twister Pea Chips (creamy onion and garlic). It's not a lifetime supply of Fukuda Chipz as I had secretly hoped, but at the very least I'll have a lot of ammunition for "merienda treat" at the office.
My thoughts of these products will come some time later, when I've actually given them the taste test. The entire review process will be well documented, of course.
Thanks for pulling through, Gilbert!

(The following is not a paid advertisement.)
I passed by SM Makati on my way home yesterday when I decided to stop by the snacks section in the middle of the 2nd floor. I was craving for a potato crisps snack. My first choice was Pringles (I had P&G-related training earlier, and Pringles is a P&G product) but I found the 80-peso price tag to be a bit too much. Similar offerings (Lay's Stax and Jack 'n Jill Spuds) proved to have similarly steep prices.
But I really wanted some crispy potato goodness so I looked around and found boxes on a shelf no one seemed to be touching: Fukuda Potato Crisps. I was initially intrigued by the flavor of the first box I saw: "Wasabi Lobster". I'm a fan of wasabi-flavored products in general, but what convinced me to buy was the incredibly low price of 39.75 pesos. I also thought it was interesting for potato crisps to come in a box instead of a tube.
I don't even know where to begin with my praises for Fukuda Potato Crisps. The wasabi flavor was delightfully tangy (i.e., not too strong) and the saltyness of the lobster flavor complemented the spiciness perfectly. The crisps themselves are of the right thickness and are indeed crispy. Unlike its more expensive counterparts, Fukuda Potato Crisps don't get stuck between your teeth (hindi nakakatinga!). The crisps are packed tightly together which means that there are very few broken-off pieces. And the best part is that with such great value, you don't have to pay as much as the other more "premium" brands!
For its great taste, sizeable volume, and affordable price, Fukuda Potato Crisps is the latest product to earn the Punzki "Sulet!" Seal of Approval. Grab a box today!
Epilogue. Today, I went out with Andreé and bought two new flavors of Fukuda to try out: Seaweed and Sour Cream and Onion. They're both as great as the Wasabi Lobster flavor! Bought Andreé an extra box of seaweed-flavored to take home. Two more flavors to try: Barbecue and Original.
P.S. Can't find any links or pictures about Fukuda online so I'll just upload some photos later. Also, if you see Fukuda for sale at any store, let me know where you found it. I haven't seen Fukuda outside of the SM Makati snacks section.
P.P.S. I know too much junk food is bad for my health, but if I'm going to buy food that'll kill me, it might as well come cheap.
