The Annie’s seaweed package uses fancy words like savory, bursting with flavor and chock full of vitamins to make you forget that you’re actually about to eat seaweed. I was almost sold on the propaganda. Then I opened the package and got a huge, involuntary whiff of the stench. The sea odor assaults the nose holes, causing your nostril hairs to shrivel while immediately vaporizing any boogies from the “stale seawater” scent. It’s very strong and can be quite an embarrassing odor if someone doesn’t realize you have seaweed in the room.
But I have to go through with this, right?
Seaweed Snacks tastes just like seawater, plus some extra salt thrown in for good measure. I couldn’t get the stuff down my trachea. This is the first Taste Test in Yum Yucky history that literally made me almost vomit every single time I tried to eat it ((serious face on)). I Googled “seaweed benefits” and a whole bunch of glitter & unicorn-ish health benefit info popped up.
But noooo. This is more like Lochness Monstress vs. Mermaid Zombie. Those are some scary b!tches.
