We never thought “candy” and “nutritious” went together, but then we received some SNAP Supercandy from AG River International—and we’re still not sure. Promising to help you “run, jump, play, shoot, and shred with an advanced degree of awesome,” these 28g packs of multi-berry flavor gummies and jellybeans, citrus flavor gums, and caramels are also infused with B vitamins, antioxidants and electrolytes under all that tooth-rotting sugar (¥299). Also available from the distributor is Coco Hydro, the first powdered coconut water to be imported to Japan. Made from young organic coconuts and marketed as “a healthy alternative to unnatural, conventional sports drinks,” all you need to supply is water. Available in original, pineapple, and pomegranate & raspberry flavors (450g, ¥2,499; 10 x 30g, ¥1,985)—all that’s missing is the vodka or rum.
