Numb and spicy

Things in China are sometimes so familiar seeming. You can walk into a shop and think, “ahh yes, Activia yogurt” or “mmm Oreo cookies” or “yum, that candy looks just like Swedish berries.” But oh, how the disappointment sucks! Instead of Activia yogurt, what you are really looking at is Activiian fermented milk product, instead of classic oreos you accidently pick up the green tea flavoured ones, instead of Swedish berries you get beef flavoured gelatine candy.

So many things look familiar, but really aren’t. Take potato chips. Hard to mess those up right? Well, have a look at some of the flavours below... some are delicious, and better than the ones we get at home. Others... not so much.

Personal favourite... they really do make your mouth numb.
