Instant Japanese Pudding Candy Video

10 / 7 / 17

Hello from Florida! If you’re following me on Twitter or Instagram, you’ve probably noticed that I’ve been traveling in the US the past week. I’m on a short trip to visit some family, which means not as much time for blogging… But I was extra prepared and filmed two whole Apricotsushi Samples videos in advance! This is the first, where I try out an instant Japanese pudding candy called Purin Gokko.

I actually almost didn’t upload this video because right at the very beginning there is a period where my face is out of focus. I didn’t even realize until after I left the country… The problem with these candy videos is it’s hard to redo them if something gets messed up, because you can only make something once. This kit was specifically requested by a reader for me to do, so despite the fact that I feel a little unhappy with the quality, I’m publishing it anyway! Don’t worry, though, most of the video is in focus and maybe you aren’t even as picky as me and won’t notice the blurriness at the beginning (but you will most definitely notice now that I’ve told you!). Hopefully Pai Pai’s special appearance makes up for it!

If you do end up enjoying the video regardless of the technical issues, please consider sharing it with a friend! It helps me out a lot!

New Video: Tasting Banana Minion Cheetos

8 / 13 / 16

I’ve finally managed to record and edit a new episode of Apricotsushi Samples! These are my favorite videos to do, but they’re also the most time-consuming, and they’re super extra time-consuming now that I have a puppy in the mix. But if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em, so I decided to embrace my nosey puppy and include her in the video! Unfortunately the quality is a bit wonkier than normal, but Pai Pai was just too adorable for me to scrap this one.

As for the Minion banana Cheetos themselves, they were surprisingly tasty! It makes a lot more sense for them to have gone the sweet route, but that doesn’t really make them seem much like Cheetos… Well, at least they were better than the Mountain Dew Cheetos!

Let me know if you enjoyed seeing Pai Pai in this video! I can definitely include her in the future… In fact, she might not give me a choice!

Visiting the Kit Kat Chocolatory in Tokyo

3 / 11 / 163 / 11 / 16

Kit Kat Chocolatory Tokyo

On my last trip to Japan, I pledged that I wouldn’t leave the country before visiting the Kit Kat Chocolatory, a one-of-a-kind store in Tokyo that sells Kit Kat flavors you can’t find anywhere else. Well, a whole year and a half later, I’m happy to say I did visit it, and I even tried some of their special edition flavors!

YouTube Roundup: Sailor Moon Gummies and… Vegemite Chocolate?

7 / 22 / 15

Cadbury Vegemite chocolate

Most of you probably know I have a YouTube channel by now, but if you don’t, I’m here to politely to remind you that it’s a thing you can check out! Just like Chic Pixel Plus, I’m determined to get on a regular updating schedule. Over the past week, I’ve managed to upload two whole episodes! Yay me.

The videos are pretty self explanatory, but let me quickly reiterate: the Sailor Moon Crystal mango yogurt gummies I tried in the video above were amazing. I wish they were still available online!

The second video is a bit different than my usual fare… This Vegemite Cadbury bar is what I guess you could call an Australian limited edition delicacy. Vegemite, chocolate, and caramel, though? Sounds fishy to me…

Believe it or not, I’ve been making videos for just over a year now, but it’s hard work! If you like them, it would mean the world to me if you’d leave a comment, subscribe, or share my videos to your friends! As always, if you want to go the extra mile to support Chic Pixel, you can head to my support page, which is full of information on how to donate to the site or buy an item on my Amazon Japan wishlist.
