Trying Filipino Snacks

Transcript

When I go to the Philippines I am so fortunate and people do give me gifts. And one of the gifts I got were some snacks. And I think these are from like, uh, Asari Sari Store. I swear I've seen like, like, hung up, and they hang them up in the shops. And I've got more. I've been like hoarding them. I thought I would kind of get a few and then I'd test them. This is the first snack I'm gonna try. Jack Fruit and Purple Yam Combo. Okay, so that's what it looks like. It's a little bit paler than the packaging. And it's hard. Oh, it's hard. Oh, it's hard. Oh, my god. I thought it would be. Oh, my god. I've had those for a while. I don't know. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. I'm not doing this series. Expire November 2025.
