It’s the thought that counts.
I noticed a little surprise at my corner store a week or two ago. A novelty snack made just for me…
The sighting coincided with a pre-planned giveaway… and now I could send along a little Jilly bar as well. How perfect! Probably should have tasted it before I got so excited and bought 5 bars.
Description: “Creamy wafers covered in cocoa.”
Tastes Like: Blech. Fake chocolate thinly covering the stalest wafers I’ve ever tasted.
Verdict: Thumbs down!
But no worries! Plenty of other novelty snack goodness abounds inside this Sri Lankan tote bag featuring the Tamil alphabet.
And it all could be yours for the tasting.

PS. I also have a new “Novelty Snack” button up on the right. Now it’s just an easy click to the tasty treats.
PPS. Giveaway is now closed! Thanks!
Hey, today I’m actually using the [tote] we picked up in Dubai! The Jilly looks like a Kit Kat, is it a Kit Kat fake out?
yours is [tote]s one of my favorite blog to read. I am so jealous of all your travels and live vicariously through you jill. if I didn’t love my students here in ks so much (and could bring myself to leave them) I would be out the door tomorrow to do what you do. jealous.
That [tote] is pretty cute! I assume Sri Lankans write in Tamil? I’m sorry the tasty snack baring your name is not tasty…bummer!
I love the [tote]! I hope I get to try one of those disgusting candies!
Also, is the product called Hacks a cough drop? The man on the packaging looks like he’s in pain…
you’re such a [tote]ally rad babe. meow.
Shauna, it’s not a Kit Kat fake out, it’s worse! I thought my personal novelty snack would be so much tastier…
Kimbrly, you might just find new students you could equally love! Thanks for reading my blog!
Nikki, Sri Lankans write in Tamil and in Sinhalese. Both scripts look awesome.
Taune, I don’t think Hacks are for coughs. They were in the candy aisle. That being said, my taxi driver last week offered me Halls like candy… so maybe it’s all relative!
Jana, runs in the family.
hey I recently discovered your blog, its awesome. Im from Turkey and I think that chocolate bar is Turkish. it looks like a knock-off of a really good one ‘ulker cikolatali gofret’ you should try it if you see it around! im kinda curious about the other snacks in the [tote]
I see the Tamil alphabet everywhere in Singapore; it would be so rad to own a [tote] with it so I could learn it!

I’d love to rock that [tote] all over town! And figure out what a pop it is… it looks like a giant crayon.
Oo! I almost missed the giveaway! I would have been [tote]ally bummed, if I had. (Yeah, I shouldn’t quit my day job.)
i [tote]tally loved the wedding on your personal blog and showed all my friends! very cute, thanks for sharing.
kucukpembefil: I think you’re right that Jilly is from Turkey. We have a lot of Turkish snacks over here but I wonder if we are only getting the knock offs! Tutku is one of my favorites!
Flora: I think the Tamil alphabet looks like little happy doodles!
Jenny: Haha, Pop It is a pencil! I have no clue why!
Chelsea: Glad you made it!
Linzee: If only you could have seen the wedding in person! Fantastic! Thanks for reading!
I would love to [tote] that tote full of snacks along to school! What a cute giveaway!
