Mango and chamoy popsicle. Chamoy is a sour, sweet, salty, spicy seasoning from Mexico. Thanks to our Mexican friends, I found out that it is the same thing as li hing mui, a sour, salty, sweet seasoning used in treats in Hawaii. As it turns out, both originate from China, and a similar treat can be found in Japan, called umeboshi. All are typically made from salted and acidified plums or apricots. This popsicle is a typical use for this flavor, while in Hawaii, it is common in shave ice (not \"shaved ice\" FYI) or gummy candies. We think of food being traditional and cultural, but the traditions are made by time.

Chamoy is solely and proudly Mexican. Its flavor, which is a mix of spicy, bitter, sweet, and sour, is unique, and that's why many people in Mexico use it for everything. Some use it sensibly, but others go a bit overboard and take it to unimaginable levels. If you don't believe us, here are 12 examples of moments when chamoy exceeded all expectations.
