Welcome to Mukbang Minutes 😋
This week, we're snacking our way through Brazil—without leaving campus 🇧🇷🇧🇷
We tried Torcida (cheese & bacon flavor) and Mabel Milk Donut Biscuits 🧀🥓🍩
Want a taste? We got ours from World Fresh Market, but you can also find them on Amazon! 🛒📦
Huge thanks to our guests Arthur and Mateus for sharing their favorite Brazilian treats and stories. From crunchy bites to spooky sights, we also chatted about their favorite Halloween traditions on campus 🎃👻
Don’t forget to share with us your favorite snacks and Halloween traditions!
