Retrieved from another snack aisle in another Chinese supermarket, these were identified in English merely as Every Day Host Gluten Strips and something very <\/em>approximately like Hand Ripped Lunch Strip Taste in Chinese, taken character by character. (Feel free to tag in, \u670b\u53cb\u4eec.) About five inches long, the easily unzipped twin strips are a tad oily; they\u2019re salty, sweet, and spicy \u2013 which comes as no surprise since the ingredients listed are wheat flour, soybean oil, salt, white sugar, chili and spices. As a matter of fact, the only surprise came from their unusual texture: chewy, puffy, airy, and a bit like biting into a sponge. They\u2019re not bad exactly, just a little unusual.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the packaging (after I had removed most of the contents) in case you want to either try them or avoid them:

Sometimes, when I come across a product that is sort of okay but not so bad as to be trashworthy, I\u2019ll try to invent a better use for it beyond its preordained destiny. For example, I had acquired some off-brand meat-stick Slim Jim clones. Again, not awful, but nothing to write home to Mom about. Turns out they made great stirring sticks for Bloody Marys \u2013 a triumph of snackish fulfillment.<\/p>\n

No enlightened second life inspiration for these yet, but I’m open to suggestions!
