Congratulations number 27, Sarah Lynn! You’ll be receiving an email from me soon.

Thanks for entering and sharing your favorites with me, everyone. I also want to say yes, yes, and yes to your favorites. Like a lot of you, I’m an equal-opportunity eater and there is honestly not a single thing someone mentioned that I don’t like, love, or want to try.

Hi-Chew Fruit Chews.

Chocolate Pocky, Strawberry Pocky.

Pork Jerky.

Dried Mangoes.

Ramune Drink.

Ginger Candy.

Marukawa Bubble Gum.

Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce.

To enter the giveaway, please answer this question: What is your favorite food?

The giveway will run until 10 PM PST this Thursday. A winner will be randomly selected and announced sometime the next day, this Friday.
