Popin Cookin Hamburger Edition--My Second Week of DIY Candy

So like most people, I assumed that all DIY candy was in fact candy. You know sweet, sugary, and fruity smelling. Well, in my imaginary world, DIY candy might, in fact, be that way, but in the real world, it isn't. This was proven to me today when I tried the Kracie Popin Cooking Hamburger Kit. Like all the Kracie products, this kit was colorful, came with stirrers and pouring cups, and had an aggravating paper wrapper that doubled as a tray. (Seriously, I hate that). However, this kit has a sinister secret, a secret that would destroy my tastebuds and implode my mind.

It was SAVORY!!!!

I know, I know, calm down. It freaked me out too, but after the initial shock, this fear turned into insecurity and this insecurity bloomed into acceptance. The hamburger kit was, in fact, a kit of a tiny hamburger. The powders for the fries did actually taste like fries and the burger was almost like a patty of ground beef if ground beef was made from weird speckled powder and water. It honestly was the weirdest thing I had ever tasted and it also had me wondering...why?

Because besides the very strange and time-consuming
assembly process of these kits, the last thing I want is something to taste like its actual real life counterpart. Last week I made a Bento Box and everything in it was fruity. This week, the only thing fruity was the actual ketchup I made from powder which I did not eat because I hate KETCHUP!

Now it might sound like I hate these boxes, and honestly, I do don't. They are a fun way to experience a culture and a great way to get viewers on YouTube. By the way, they haven't really done anything for my viewership, but why kill the optimism right. If you don't know what I am talking about check out my CHANNEL. It's the best!! You should subscribe to it. All you have to do is hit that button to the right of you that says subscribe.

So against my better judgement, I continue to make these videos on these strange do it yourself candies and now savory miniature foods from Japan. This is only my second box and I honestly don't know what else could be coming. Okay scratch that, I do know what's coming because I have seven boxes of uneaten Popin Cookin in my media room but still, it is the adventure and mystery of what these treats will taste like that will either have me gasping in delight or utter horror. It is all just a waiting game, and I hope you are there when I find out.
