I recall them but never tried them. Not sure if they made it to Canada.
I was keen to try them ’cause I tended to overeat, esp. salty chips and tortilla chips. I’d hopped my eat-damn-near-anything-with-no-stomach-problems superpower (like cherries or grapes. I once ate ~1kg of cherries during a 4-hour morning car trip with no adverse stomach problems) would let me consume same amount of chips with less fat absorption. Ya know, instead of cutting down. Which I eventually did.
I’ve also eaten some of those sugar-free gummies made so famous by the Amazon review. A good handful. No problems.
And street food in Durgapur, India. And falafal from a street vendors in Saudi Arabia.
There was that one falafel in Venezela, though. Didn’t realize one could upchuck their own butthole.
