The strangest products from Xenos
Say wine, snacks or haute cuisine and the gourmands at online food magazine FavorFlav know where to drink, how to eat it and what to cook. This time our cheffies serve you: The strangest products from Xenos.
Whether you're looking for a new tea mug, champagne glasses, a cushion for that new chair, or a log side table, Xenos is the answer to everything. Yes, even if you want to buy something to eat or drink: the store is full of it. And it must be said: some products are uh... quite remarkable. Here are the 10 strangest products you can buy at Xenos right now.
The food and drink section of Xenos is a colorful collection of Asian products for cooking and baking, quirky Japanese drinks, and extremely sweet baking supplies. We find pearls (like Ramune, the sweet but also refreshing and sparkling Japanese drink with the glass marble, Ligo Cheese Balls Hot, Cookbook The Bible of Indonesian Cuisine by Maureen Tan, and Barkley’s mints in various flavors), but also products that make you think: who buys this?
Bruschetta (that isn't really bruschetta) €1.79
Bruschetta is an Italian delicacy of grilled bread smeared with garlic and drizzled with olive oil. Traditionally, it is topped with sliced tomatoes and basil: then it's really done. And how: delicious! The packaging of this Xenos product says bruschetta, but actually, this is just dry bread wrapped in plastic. What a shame! If you like bruschetta herbs, then look for the bruschetta herb mix from Xenos. Delicious in homemade meatballs or in your pasta sauce or to make tasty sandwiches.
Gigantic sprinkle sticks for cakes and muffins (€1.99)
One bite of your muffin topped with these enormous sticks and your tooth breaks off. Bet?
Penne with broccoli from a bag (€1.99)
Let's please not get lazy for everything in our lives. For a simple fresh pasta dish, we can just make time, right, instead of going for this ready-made junk that we only need to pour boiling water over?
Smucker’s Goober Strawberry & Peanut butter (€2.99)
World-famous they are: peanut butter & jelly sandwiches. In America, that is. If you want to give it a try: here you have it in a jar, with the jam and peanut butter separated in fun stripes. Tasty, huh!
Birthday Cake Cookie Dough Bites (€2.49)
For when you don't want a whole piece of your birthday cake but just a bite. Only to end up stuffing the whole box in your mouth. And then: regret! Because super sweet and nauseating like a bad party.
Sweet paprika drops (€2.59)
Cute and also handy, these sweet paprika drops. You never have to cut those annoying paprika strips again when you want them in your salad.
Cotton candy with fruit juicy red flavor (€4.59)
A cotton candy in a bag with a tropical fruit flavor (Hawaiian punch); that just sounds terrible, right? For the same crazy amount, there is also a red-colored cotton candy with the flavor of Dr. Pepper available.
Peanut & Lime Chocs (€1.29)
This seems really too much of a good thing: chocolate bonbons with peanut butter and lime. That lime really wasn't necessary, if you ask me.
Tea with banana flavor (€1.59)
There is tea in millions of fruit flavors. Somehow, we hardly see tea with banana flavor in stores, except for Xenos (and maybe a tea shop or toko). You would almost think there is a reason for that. Black tea in pyramid bags with such an overwhelming banana flavor, is that something for you?
Muddy Bears gummy bears with chocolate (€2.49)
These are gummy bears with a layer of chocolate around them. Do you need more explanation? I don’t think so.
