βReviews & Traveler Voices
What Reviewers Say
Acquired taste β you'll either love it or find it intense. The honey variety is the most approachable for newcomers. Surprisingly addictive once you get used to the sour-salty flavor. Great for travel snacking and settling stomachs. The classic variety is very sour β be warned.
