Of swiss rolls and Snek Ku

I found swiss roll and tiger roll (just the striped kind, but the thing is that it was actually called "tiger roll"!) in France; can you believe it?! You might not think anything of it...and neither would I have, some time ago...but when I saw them I was like "hey, I haven't seen that anywhere before!" Can someone tell me whether they've seen swiss rolls in supermarkets before? (I saw these in Champion, in the "specialities" section where they don't always have the same things)

Yep, there's even a tiger on the package!
And the one behind is blueberry-flavoured. (WW, lau nuah or not? ;) )

And another thing I saw, this time in the Asian supermarket in Guillotière, is Snek Ku!


At the back of the packet there are names of the 9 different snacks in the mix. I just realised that I used to eat some of those crackers without knowing what flavour they were supposed to be or what they were called. (after all, who cares as long as they are delicious? lol) For example, did you know that the small orange cubes (at the bottom of the packet, lower-right of the green pea) are called dragon balls? (I found that really funny...made me think of the Dragon Ball character lol)

When I went to Toulouse the other day As had bought some Snek Ku as well (though I believe they were a single snack and not a mix), and everyone was raving over how we never thought we'd see that in France...and who knew I would find it as well!
