I have memories of going to Chinatown with my mom on Saturday mornings.  My brothers and I would go down the snack aisle, looking at the brightly coloured packaging.  Naturally, we tried to convince my mom to buy us something.  Hawflakes were relatively cheap, and my mom would often buy those for us.  This series began with the Asian snacks that I remember eating as a child, then I added the favourites of my friends and family.
