Cracklings as packed

Content of one pack of Cracklings

Cracklings piso-pack is the smallest pack of Cracklings, so there are bigger packs available if you want more in one pack or if you want it to share with others. Cracklings captures the classic kropek taste dipped in spicy vinegar. So it's perfect while watching TV if there's no popcorn around. It's also a good pulutan, especially with cold beer.

Cracklings is one of the products of Oishi, so it's quite a sosyal piso food. Some children who are not used to spicy food may not find this very inviting, thus, Cracklings appeals more to older consumers such as students and tropas. A pack of Cracklings piso-pack is also quite a mouthful.

Just, one thing, though. You cannot keep Cracklings for days because it easily losses its crispiness even if the pack is still sealed. This is true for piso-pack and I don't know for larger packs since they use another type of plastic for them, I guess. If you want to enjoy Cracklings that really crack on every bite, make sure the sari-sari store has a newly opened batch and only buy enough for the day. I think they have to get the packaging better to make Cracklings piso-pack's shelf-life longer.

Peas-O as packed

Content of one pack of Peas-O

When Peas-O first came out it became an instant favorite among kids, at least here in our place. The sari-sari store store near our house always run out of supply of this piso food that time. That is because it tastes really good and contains more green peas than other piso food.

But lately, there was a noticeable change in the flavor and the amount of peas each pack contains, though the printed weight on the pack remained the same. But it is still okay, it still tastes real green peas.

Peas-O's packaging is excellent. They used good quality plastic that seals tightly to preserve crunchiness. Eack pack measures about 3'x5' in. The packs are joined together forming a chain that makes it easy for stores to display.

It's quite salty so after consuming 3-5 packs, you'll be craving for a drink. It's also quite oily, and leaves a strong odor on your hands and mouth long after eating.

My overall rating : 7/10 (Ayos)
