Will the New Transformation Make the Whale Dance?
The proof that warm spring has arrived is the pink-packaged products. Beverages, snacks, and bread blend with seasonal fruits to tantalize our taste buds. Among them, the fruit that welcomes spring is the strawberry, and we encountered Whale Bap dressed in pink. Whale Bap, a snack shaped like small marine creatures coated with salty seasoning and boasting a crispy texture, has escaped! Sweet Whale Bap coated with strawberry flavor?unbelievable. But it doesn't end there. The Whale Bap Choco Bomb, which has piqued the editor's curiosity for some time, was too daunting to try despite years of loving Whale Bap. However, alongside the pink whale, we also dared to try the chocolate whale. Shall we embark on the brave challenge of these colorful whales together?
▶ Whale Bap Stir-fried Seasoning Flavor
Whale Bap is best enjoyed poured into a paper box. It's a snack I've eaten since childhood, and it remains unchanged. The taste of wondering which marine creature shape to pick is just the same. Moreover, with new shapes added, eating it feels even more fun. The unique crispiness is also intact! Come to think of it, Whale Bap hadn't released new flavors for several years, but recently announced a new flavor. Everyone would agree that the classic is the best without needing emphasis. It brings back memories of sucking on fingers covered in seasoning during childhood.
▶ Whale Bap Choco Bomb
Whale Bap Choco Bomb boasts a rich chocolate color as if whales (and other marine creatures) have been rolled in chocolate. The taste reminds one of Kkobuk Chip Choco Churros, coated glossy with cocoa powder. Even for the editor, a choco lover, it was more successful than expected. Though not intensely chocolatey, the thin and crispy texture of Whale Bap combined with sweet chocolate offered a different texture from typical chocolate snacks. It evokes the taste of Orion's Oh! Granola Choco Whale Bap and is great to eat soaked in milk as a cereal substitute.
▶ Strawberry Whale Bap
As soon as you open it, the characteristic aroma of strawberry snacks wafts out. It made me think, "Strawberry-flavored snacks are just like this!" If you're unsure what that means, just think of strawberry milk. Coated with strawberry flavor and color, mixed with powdered coating, it looks like spring has arrived just by looking at it. It had a tangy yet fresh dried strawberry chip taste. A flavor everyone can predict! Just when you think, "This is really familiar," it reminds you of Crown Sando Strawberry flavor and Orion's Fresh Berry Cream. Exactly that taste!
Like the saying "Praise makes the whale dance," both chocolate and strawberry made the whale dance. Quite a success♥
