I Do Not Like Them, Sam I Am

I do not like them from a box, I do not like them in my socks, I will not let these pass my lips, I do not like green tea and chips!

Hot on the heels of cherry blossom season, cookie manufacturers have apparently decided it’s green tea season. My local grocery store snack shelves are suddenly filled with dubious flavor combos like these green tea and chocolate chip numbers. Mind you, I’ve got nothing against mattcha when it’s whipped into hallucinogenic caffeine perfection in a tea bowl and served overlooking a 17th century garden, but green is just not my chocolate chip cookie color of choice.

...or let's not, and say we did.

I'm betting these would be left sitting in lonely splendor after the crumpets are long gone.

    I found a green tea root beer last week… here in Oklahoma! Maybe this is an international thing.
    (P.S. that root beer is funky, and not in the good way)

    • Green tea root beer? ((((;゚Д゚)))))))
      You ought to start an “Only In America” blog with that one! I’d never see that here, because apparently, root beer is as disgusting to Japanese people as fermented soybeans are to westerners. Go figure.

        That’d be a lot of fun, but I was raised in America so I wouldn’t know what is or isn’t available elsewhere. I actually found a Philly cheesesteak with French fries on it in Marseilles of all places!

        Japanese people don’t like root beer? Madness! It’s the pinnacle of sodas! Nay, ALL beverages!

      • > pinnacle of sodas
        Agreed! That’s why I was shocked, SHOCKED, to discover it wasn’t universally loved!

  2. Apparently, Dr. Pepper was also a huge debacle in Japan :(
