Disclaimer: We are not professional taste testers. We also might have different palettes from yours. You have been warned. We tried all of these in one go. However, we tried sodas even after that day. Our minds still felt the same after. We hope you understand. The range from $-$
We purchased all the sodas and noodle flavors. Except for technical doubles (We bought more bowls than packages).
Considering it was a small group of us taste tasting everything. We decided it wasn’t necessary to order double of each flavor.
Ordering process:
And they are still a Walmart exclusive here in the states so you cannot officially get these everywhere. We got them on pre-order. They arrived pretty well. One of the cups was kind of beat up. And boxes and noodles don’t work well together in a shipment when the boxes are stacked on the noodles. Shipping has nothing to do with ARIH though, I just wanted to mention this as many of us are ordering.
Inclusions:
Well maybe just the lack of. A fake expectation: I didn’t know what to expect. I was thinking of the aspect of K-pop…I thought there would be some kind of BTS inclusion, but it was humbling to see nothing except a shout out on the actual products. Also, the fact that we get to see so much content of them showing their favorites, I thought we could get something cool. The highlight of these are these are nice subtle food items in comparison to like the OREOs that just got released. Not everything has to scream it in your face. And I enjoy that subtlety in this packaging.
The bowl of noodles vs the packaged ones were slightly different in total calories. I don’t know the reason why, but for example: there was a difference of 10 calories (more in the cup version) of the K-spicy noodles.
The ingredients are very interesting. A lot of fermenting that might be going on. Probiotics and Post biotics are really going to help send you to the restroom most likely. Especially that combines with the spice. And it did some interesting things allegedly for some people.
RATINGS
I must say the ARIH line was absolutely impressive with how many flavor profiles they had to offer. And all the items are worth a try at least once. I think there is truly something for everyone. It was truly delicious.
The tmi I was hesitating:
Let’s talk about the controversy that kind of made me hesitant to try these. The experience of some people saying their stomachs had their own drum solo on 2.0. This did not happen to us. At least how I saw it being described from some consumers. Mind you, we are a bit of everything for a taste test video as well. BTS themselves tore these up and kept consuming it on live. I haven’t seen any of the members hesitate so I think they are fine as well. I will say, honestly, at some point it did seem like my body was expecting to be more regular while drinking the sodas. But it wasn’t all of the time.
I would just say to be cautious. Everyone’s experience is different.
