Lots of great action for this weeks combini monday. Plenty of new snacks coming into the stores as we push on towards the colder winter months. The stores always seem to hold a greater appeal when you have to rush in out of the rain and warm up inside.

And if you are greeted with this display of Meltykiss then you will be even more happy to get in store.

Looks like a Meltykiss meltdown. I always like the name of this chocolate. Great advertising conceptPhoto dataCameraApple iPhone 3GAperturef/2.8Taken25 Oct 2009, 15:49

and some hand gel to keep the germs away. These products are starting to sell as fast as the face masks. You carry the small bottle with you and can dab on some alcohol gel anytime during the dayPhoto dataCameraApple iPhone 3GAperturef/2.8Taken26 Oct 2009, 15:10

Health bars are getting more and more popular and now there are corners in the conbini's dedicated to them as much as the health drinks.

The Calorie Mate bars have been popular for a long time, and still sell quite well. I like the chocolate flavored one. Recently more health bars have been gaining popularity. Weider, who make a protein and vitamin jelly drink have now started promoting their protein barPhoto dataCameraApple iPhone 3GAperturef/2.8Taken26 Oct 2009, 15:25

The Weider bar contains 10g or 7g of protein depending on the bar size. Compared to brands overseas who sell bars over 20g, that is not a lot, but this is the first protein bar I have seen on sale in the convenience store. Anyone else seen other ones?

Here is one of the tv ads for Weider protein jelly and protein bars.

Do you buy food supplements or health bars? What type do you like?
