Friday Bites • Your Friday Snack Attack - International Snack Day With Special Guest Star: Steven Marx

by MBIP


Today is a special day, it’s International Snack Day! You probably didn’t know that, because I just made it up!

But luckily, since this is International Snack Day, we have international snacks to sample here at the MBIP World Headquarters today. Plus, we have the first ever Friday Bites special guest star appearing on the blog today!

Keep on scrolling and find out about today’s special international snacking session!

Here is the aforementioned guest star for today’s snacking episode, Steven Marx!

Steven and his wife recently had a vacation in Panama and he graciously volunteered to pick up some international snacks at the Panama airport!

They’re housed in this bag and we’ll reveal them right now!

The Trio Of International Snacks!

Here’s the trio of international snacks we’ll be sampling this afternoon!

——

International Snack Number One: Pro Platanitos Plantain Chips

The first international snack of the day: Plantain Chips from Costa Rica!

These were pretty similar to potato chips but Steven and I agreed they could’ve used a tad more salt. But a tasty and satisfying snack, none the less!

——

International Snack Number Two: Pro Tropical Mix

Our second international snack is a bag of Pro Tropical Mix This snack mix is also from Costa Rica.

I liked the nuts in the mix but didn’t care for the texture of the fruits, so I picked around those. Steven enjoyed the entire mix! Proving that I’m a pickier snacker than Steven is!

——

International Snack Number THree: Bocas Del Toro Chocolate

This is a bag of chocolate snacks from Panama!

These chocolate snacks are separately wrapped and are infused with fruit flavors.

The chocolates appear to have some sort of dancing animal embossed on them. The chocolate was rich and tasty, but both Steven and I failed to taste any fruit in them. But they were a sweet treat to end this week’s international snacking session!

Thanks to Steven for bringing the international snacks over and for being the first ever Friday Bites guest star! (Applause!)
