KIMBORA KRUNCH
Warning: This flavor does not whisper. It shouts in Korean funk and full-throttle fire.
Meet your new obsession: a bold, spicy, tangy flavor bomb that rolls in with fermented kimchi seasoning, loads up on garlic attitude, and finishes with a smooth sesame strut. A PUNCH OF GOCHUJANG HEAT!
It’s not here to play nice. It’s here to wake your tongue up like a marching band in a spice parade.
First comes the fermented tang—funky, deep, and oh-so-satisfying. And right when you think it’s safe? BOOM. That gochujang fire hits the gas and does not let up.
It’s smoky. It’s savory. It’s slightly unhinged. And it knows exactly what it’s doing.
Don’t expect subtle. Expect socks knocked off and a flavor punch to the tastebuds with a spicy side wink.
LIHARA TWIST
Hold onto your tastebuds—this one’s got a passport and no brakes.
It’s a tropical flavor explosion where sweet, sun-ripened pineapple dives headfirst into a wild swirl of plum powder. That’s right—juicy meets zesty, sweet meets salty, and paradise meets attitude.
First, you get that golden pineapple rush—drippy, juicy, like summer doing a cannonball. Then comes the Li Hing kick—a tangy-salty pow! that hits like a flavor firecracker and leaves you grinning like a kid on a sugar high. It’s Hawaiian snack stand meets Saturday morning cartoon. It’s got beach vibes, boom box energy, and a big ol’ slap of nostalgic weirdness that just works.
Tiki torch party where the fruit bites back.
Surfer juice bar run by a mad scientist.
The best thing you’ve never tasted… until now.
Sweet. Sour. Salty. Funky. It’s not just a snack—it’s a vacation for your mouth
Arthur Simon & The Legend of the Kernel Kid
The origins of Arthur Simon are a tale unlike any other—a story of adventure, mystery, and the pursuit of something truly extraordinary.
Arthur was never an ordinary boy. From the time he could chew, he had a taste for the unique. Not just in the way most kids crave sweets or dream of the perfect scoop of ice cream—no, Arthur was searching for something more. A flavor beyond all flavors. A taste so perfect, so indescribably satisfying, that no matter who experienced it, it would fulfill their deepest cravings.
As he grew older, his curiosity turned to obsession. There had to be an ultimate flavor, a single taste that could transcend all others. And so, Arthur set out on a journey—one that would take him across the world, through ancient villages and hidden markets, deep into lands where few had ventured.
It was in one such land, veiled in mist and mystery, that Arthur met an old stranger who listened intently to his quest. The stranger nodded solemnly and spoke of a legend—of a place where such a flavor truly existed.
