HELLO ! Wafer Snacks

URC’s Jack n Jill describes their HELLO! snacks as choco-coated vanilla-filled wafer sandwiches. (They also have a choco-coated chocolate-filled variant.)

What makes their snacks memorable to Filipinos is the “hugot lines” on the individual wrappers. The Tagalog slang word hugot refers to emotions being drawn from deep within one’s heart. It usually refers to quotes or statements that are very emo or corny.

Examples of hugot lines found on Hello Wafer wrappers:

 
Do you have a name or can I call you mine?

You’re my dream. Please come true.

Your smile is literally the cutest thing I have ever seen in my life.

Kung ita-TAG kita sa puso ko, ila-LIKE mo kaya?
If I tag you to my heart, would you Like it?

Para kang charger… kasi you fill up my emptiness.
You’re like a charger… because you fill up my emptiness.

Parang wala ako sa sarili ko. Siguro nasa iyo ako.
It’s like I’ve lost myself. I’m probably with you.

Need mo pa ba ang NOTIFICATION para ma-gets mo na LIKE kita?
Do you still need a NOTIFICATION to get that I LIKE you?

The retail price for a ten-piece pack is a little over 47 pesos.

Each individually wrapped wafer sandwich weighs about 15 grams, so a ten-piece pack weighs around 150 grams or 5.29 ounces in the American measurement system.

INGREDIENTS: CHOCOLATE COATING (sugar, hydrogenated vegetable fat, milk solids, cocoa powder, lecithin, artificial flavor); CREAM FILLING (sugar, hydrogenated vegetable fat, skimmed milk powder, dextrose powder, cornstarch, artificial flavors, lecithin, iodized salt, antioxidant); WAFER (flour, sugar, skimmed milk powder, cornstarch, lecithin, sodium bicarbonate, coconut oil)

The hydrogenated vegetable fat could be coconut, palm, palm kernel, or combinations.
