What is it about foreign packaging that makes things so much better than if I had bought them in my own country? When abroad, I love going into the supermarkets to look at the unfamiliar packaging of everyday items. So the other day, I popped into a local Chinese supermarket and picked up these rather photogenic snacks.

Foreign packaging looks so much more fun and appealing as apposed to the boring packaging here in the UK! xx
eep, i know! especially asian countries such as china and japan-they have the cutest packaging!
I agree--foreign packaging is just too cute! When I lived in Scotland, I used to go to the Asian supermarket in Dundee with one of my friends from China all of the time--was super helpful in explaining what different things were and such a great way to try new foods and flavors! xoxox
That iced Green Tea looks interesting. I admit, I do love to go and wander around supermarkets when I'm on holiday :) xx
The pretty packets, and your eye for beauty and the unknown.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
oh, I agree! I'm a fan of japanese snacks, somehow their packaging is just the cutest:)
xx
Hee, hee! These are so cute!! Did they taste as good?! XX
Everytime i go to hong kong, i spend so much money on snacks - i dont even know what they are but if the packaging is this good, it can't be bad! x
I totally agree! I love the foreign packaging! Very kitsch and lovely! x
I totally feel the same. Bringing home items from the supermarket used to be one of the best things when travelling. Sadly now that we've got to pay for every bit of luggage I'm hardly doing this anymore.
Wonderful pictures, Paula! xoxo
So funny, I've done that! I had a Japanese "custard cream in chocolate" bar and the packaging looked so pretty. The bar was alright ;-) Love from London xo
I love how you see prettiness in things I wouldn't even notice. Very cute packages though.
Oh I see I'm not the only one. When I go to Wal Mart I love to search foreign products, there's also a big department store with foreign food I really love to look at (and buy). Japanese, German, Italian snacks and more. I also found a Korean place where they sell products of their country. There's something about those packages because we are not used to cute products. Asia loves to give you appealing products and I love their marketing methods.
There's something amusing about products that even when I go to someone else's house , I always , ALWAYS ask for permission to give a look at their fridge -weird-.
Aww these look delish, and I do love the packaging! One of my favourite things when on holiday is to tour the snack isles of the supermarkets, but you've reminded me to try it out at home as well!
They like to put Anime figures on the packages and cute big eyed monsters. Especially the Japanese.
so cute :) and colourful, great photos

Completely agree with you, they are always much more exciting than our packaging! The iced green tea sounds really good xx
The pink packaging is so pretty! xx
We Shop Therefore We Are
I have never seen chinese packaging! Or was it chinese? anyway, it look awesome- and strawberry puffs? Why don't we have strawberry puffs in uK? I think we should get them to start selling strawberry puffs :) and i like saying strawberry puffs! (say it five times real fast ha!)
japanese snacks are some of my favorites! i love the cutesy packaging and complete ignorance (aka bliss) in knowing what exactly it is i'm eating.... is that wrong?
love the way these photos are laid out.

They look so cute, though not all too foreign to me, since I grew up in Hong Kong. I do love browsing supermarkets in every country I go to. The worst is if you find something you love that you just can't get back home!
I love cancho it's Korean snack :)

i really love foreign supermarkets, too. it's so exciting to buy things and you don't really know what it is. it's so mysterious and always a surprise.
