URC Appreciation Post: Some of My Fave Snacks from the Company
The Philippines has one of the best snacks in the world. I’m not only being biased because, according to my Korean students, Pinoy snacks are much better than theirs, and they always crave them, especially Chippy, Hello, Cloud 9, Mr. Chips, Tostillas, Presto, and Nova. I’ve been snacking on these delights since I was a kid, and they’ve been my family’s favorites, but I didn’t know until the 2010s that they all come from the same company: Universal Robina Corporation (URC). This blog post is a URC appreciation post. I’ve been devouring products from the brand, so it’s time to thank them by featuring some of them on my blog.…
