Yeah, obviously choosing to set down my heavy tote bag—not sure why I so eagerly took a bottle of Oxigen water, which weighs as much as regular water—next to one of many, many garbage clusters was dumb. But I was three hours deep into this thing and my body ached, my senses were overwhelmed, and I thought it would be funny to see what people were throwing away. They throw away everything. Little plastic sample cups of lukewarm noodles in one of a hundred jarred sauces. Paper spoons of watery tomatillo salsa. Sticky handfuls of flavorless granola. Everything starts to blur into one fair-trade, allergen-friendly, no added-sugar, dramatic backstory, earth-saving package of just fine. It’s hard to discern the good from the meh from the tasty, but your snack-familiar reporter has an eye for these things. “Do you know what shrub is?” They ask. Hell yeah I do.

These are dried fruit peels, so before I over-promise you anything, know that they are dried fruit peels. The tangy kiwi flavor, however, was very interesting in my mouth. That’s what I wrote in my notes: “Interesting in my mouth.” The tiny kiwi seeds pop like chia seed explosions, and they’re tart and sour. Definitely for people who go for Sour Patch over Sno-Caps at the movies.

I wonder how many years behind these Chilean salmon skin chips will be from the abundance of salmon jerky on the market now. (They’re not available in the U.S. yet, but a sampler before me kept going back for more, so maybe...soon?) The dehydrated skin is sharper than your average Dorito, and a hell of a lot fishier, with a touch of sweetness. Pass on the pesto flavor, and embrace cat treat breath.

An impressively tanned dude poured me some bubbly yuzu soda: “Do you know what yuzu is?” he asked me, apparently a wide-eyed idiot. I did, and he was disappointed. What else was there to say? He watched me swallow the sweet citrus soda. “What does Kimino mean?” I asked. He did not know. (It means “made for you.”)
