Crunky: The anti-Ikea Food

Crunky. What? How great is this chocolate bar wrapper? So great.

There is a Korean grocer near our new house, and we have discovered a few pretty great items, our favourite being Crunky. For $0.89 you can pick yourself up a Crunky. Okay, that was a stupid line but it's pretty fun to say/write the name Crunky.

Crunky is similar to a Nestle Crunch bar: thin, with rice crisps. The quality of chocolate is pretty poor, but so is most commercial chocolate. It's merely edible. But what a name.

Ikea Food

The other night on the way back from work (in Coquitlam. woot.) we stopped in at Ikea so a friend could grab some shelves. Needing to warm up, we got in line for a coffee. What the hell kind of cafe are they running at Ikea? 50¢ hotdogs, $1 pop, $1 cinnamon buns, $1 coffee (no variation). Super crappy cafeteria styles.

However, in the line up I spotted this little number: Choklad Ljus. $1 for 100g of milk chocolate in the most perfectly simple, clean and attractive packaging. Who was I to resist?

You may wonder what sort of quality one may expect from such cheap chocolate, and given the such inferior quality of everything else there*, I was wondering too. However, I was quite pleasantly surprised to tast a very rich, creamy milk chocolate. I usually choose the dark chocolate, but this wonderful bar reminded me why milk chocolate can be so good.

Thank you, Ikea Food. You make wonderful Choklad Ljus.

* The coffee was quite hot, which was nice. The cinnamon bun was dreadful, not at all worth it. I resisted the hotdogs.
