It is fun watching you open this box! It makes me think of years ago when my son and I would go to H mart (an Asian grocery store where most of the labels are in another language). We would each find one or two food things we wanted to try and buy them. Then when we got in the car we would open them and give it a try. Sometimes it got spit out and went into the trash and other things became favorites we would get regularly! Ezra really made me laugh with the corn thing!
