Shoutout to my northern neighbors up in Canada - I, too, was matched with a fellow North American, and I was worried about not being "international" enough - well don't you worry, my dear Santas, you made my day! I am ~24 hours away from the due date of my first major dissertation draft, so these snacks came at the PERFECT time :) (I am not procrastinating, I swear!)

I may have mentioned, completely in passing (of course), that I have a sweet tooth and an Asian flavors tooth, and Santa delivered on both! Apparently u/villainish is originally from Hong Kong and tracked down some favorite treats for me - thank you for the handy illustrated guide, too!

I promptly cracked open a roll of haw flakes, a fruity-berry flavor I can't really compare to anything else I have had before, but I really liked it! The consistency made me think of a thinner, softer Necco wafer. I also tried a white rabbit, which was like sweetened condensed milk in chewy form - delicious! The wasabi ginger flavor on the chips was a little strange, so I shared those with my husband who eats a sandwich and chips for lunch almost every day - he loved them!

I haven't eaten anything else yet, but I do love peanut brittle and black sesame things, so I am really excited to eat those, probably somewhere in the middle of the night while I am writing away. I am also really curious if the kit kats are any different - by the way, I am one of those weirdos who eats them in layers!

BUT WAIT, there's more!!! Why yes, your eyes don't deceive you, there are TWO kinder eggs! One was a little bit broken on arrival, so I had to open it up and see what was inside. I am going to save the actual egg for dessert later, and in the meantime, assembled my new pet ostrich.

THANK YOU to u/villainish and u/bunkerrs for the perfect fuel to get me through the night (and beyond)
