PARENTAL ADVISORY EXPLICIT TASTE

My favorite store here in Zaqatala is the Karvan Market in the center of town. They have a wide selection of goods as well as a separate section of the store for non-food items such as laundry detergent and TP. They are always getting new shipments, which means that unlike some other stores, you are guaranteed to buy something made relatively recently and not from the 90s.

Every few days or so I make sure to walk down the aisles of the market to see if there are any new items stocked on the shelves. April has been a great month for this! The title of this post refers to a bag of chips called "Tornado" that I found and bought for 70qepik (about 87.5 cents).
I bought the Paprika flavor, and was pleasantly surprised to find that Tornado's were pretty much exactly like Bugles. The best part of these chips were its ridiculous packaging, as shown in these pictures. For real? Parental discretion is advised? Do the chips spit out F-bombs before you bite them?

Other than the wonderful bag, considering that most of the time the chip/snack selection consists of Lays' original or 'baharat' (pepper) flavor or these nasty crouton things, I'd say this is definitely a delicious development in the Zaqatala snack department.

Other fabulous additions to my snack repertoire include Pocky-like chocolate covered sticks, which now come with hazlenuts or coconut sprinkled on as well. I have spent so much money at this market... could it be that because I keep buying these new things that they keep stocking new things? Is that how the law of supply and demand works? My knowledge of economics never surpassed the introductory 101 level so I clearly don't know what I'm talking about. On that note, I'm going to end this post and go eat my newest purchase: peanut-flavored Cheetos.
