Chips

Product Country Notes
Better Made - Barbecue USA, Michigan Good flavor, but too salty.
Better Made - Dill Pickle USA, Michigan Has a powdery coating, but very nice dill flavor.
Better Made - Honey Barbecue USA, Michigan Less spicy than the other BBQ flavors with a mild sweetness. My least favorite.
Better Made - Rainbow Old Fashioned Dark USA, Michigan Cooked longer than usual, less salt, very delicious. My favorite chip.
Better Made - Red Hot Barbecue USA, Michigan Same level of heat as regular BBQ, just with more salt and dye.
Better Made - Salt & Vinegar USA, Michigan Decent vinegar tang, but I would prefer it to be stronger.
Better Made - Sweet BBQ USA, Michigan Nice sweet BBQ flavor, better than the regular BBQ.
Better Made - White Cheddar Popcorn USA, Michigan Good flavor, but not quite as good as Smartfood.
Bugles USA Cone-shaped corn snacks. Bland and oily.
Burts - Mature Cheddar & Green Onion UK Thicker than American chips, but good flavor.
Calbee - Hot & Spicy Potato Chips Hong Kong Spicy with a mild fish flavor. Not horrible.
Doritos - Cool Ranch USA Corn chips with blue and red speckles. Good crunch and flavor, but they switched to "Cooler Ranch" and decreased the flavor.
Doritos - Cooler Ranch USA A less flavorful version of Cool Ranch.
Doritos - Nacho Cheese USA Corn chips with a bright orange cheese powder. Good crunch and flavor, but most of the flavor comes from salt.
Doritos - Spicy Nacho USA Slightly spicier the nacho cheese flavor, and slightly better.
Doritos - Spicy Sweet Chili USA Has a zesty sweet chili flavor. My favorite Doritos.
El Value - Fried Egg Spain Plain potato chips with a strange egg-flavor. They have a sulfury flavor like egg yolks.
Estrella - Grill Sweden Ruffled potato chips. Slightly sweet with a mild onion flavor. Quite good.
Fritos USA Crunchy corn chips cut into thin strips. Very good, but too salty.
Fritos - Chili Cheese USA Fritos with a dusting of a cheese powder and chili powder. Decent.
Fritos - Honey BBQ Flavor Twists USA Fritos twisted into spirals with a honey BBQ flavoring. My favorite Fritos.
Hawaiian Brand - Hulapeño USA, Washington Kettle style jalapeño potato chips. Kind of bland, the jalapeño flavor is barely noticeable.
Jack 'n Jill - Hell's Potato Chips China Standard potato chips with cayenne pepper powder. Actually pretty hot, but the flavor is a little off.
Jack 'n Jill - Roller Coaster Rings - Mini Thailand Potato powder formed into small thin rings (like macaroni), fried and seasoned. Good, but nothing special.
Lays - Baked - Barbecue USA Good flavor, nice crunch, not as oily as regular. More added salt and sugar to make up for the taste, but still fewer calories than regular.
Lays - Shrimp & Seafood Thailand Shrimp and chile pepper flavored chips mixed in the same bag. Decent flavor in each, but I prefer the Chile over the shrimp.
Lays - Sour Cream & Onion USA Kind of bland. I would prefer a stronger onion flavor.
Lays - Sweet Southern Heat Barbecue USA A little bland at first, but has a mild heat to it.
Leaderfood - Conikos - Cheese Morocco Cone-shaped corn snacks with cheese dust. Essentially Bugles, so not very good.
Leaderfood - Leader Chips - Kebab Morocco Savory, but rather bland chips.
Mandora - Fried Pumpkin Chips Thailand The pumpkin flavor is enjoyable and not overpowering. Nice crunch too.
Maui Style - Maui Onion USA, Hawaii Very strong onion flavor, slightly thicker slices for a stronger crunch. Very delicious.
Off the Eaten Path - Veggie Crisps USA, New York Rice flour crisps with peas, corn, and black beans. Decent texture and flavor, but a bit too much rice which makes the texture become slightly mushy and bland as you eat.
Off the Eaten Path - Veggie Crisps - Sea Salt & Black Pepper USA, New York Adds extra salt and pepper. It helps prevent the bland flavor later on, but the pepper flavor is a bit excessive.
OLW - Dill & Gräslök Sweden Ruffled potato chips dusted with dill & chives. Pretty good.
Ruffles - Baked - Cheddar & Sour Cream USA Good crunch, not as greasy, but the flavor is too artificial.
Ruffles - Baked - Flamin' Hot USA Good crunch, not as greasy, nice level of heat, but not much flavor.
Ruffles - Jamón Spain Ham flavored ruffled chips. They do taste a bit like ham, which is a bit odd.
Ruffles - Lime & Jalapeno USA Very nice flavor, tangy and spicy.
Sun Chips - Harvest Cheddar USA Not a very good cheese flavor, and how can cheese have anything to do with the harvest?
Takis - Fuego USA Rolled corn chips with lime and chile pepper. Decent taste and actually hot.
Terra - Real Vegetable Chips - Mediterranean USA Deep fried slices of various tubers like taro, sweet potato, batata, parsnip, and yuca. Adequate flavor and crunch, but more starchy than potatoes.
Tostitos - Salsa Verde USA Corn chips with a salsa powder on them. Nice flavor, but it doesn't taste like salsa.
Walkers - Marmite England Potato chips with a very light coating of Marmite. Although I'm not a fan of Marmite, these were quite good.

Cookies / Biscuits

Product Country Notes
Bahlsn - Choco Leibniz Minis Germany Miniature wheat cookies with a milk chocolate backing. Decent flavor, not too sweet.
Beng Beng White Thailand White chocolate creme sandwiched in wafers coated in coconut. Quite good.
Benton's - Chocolatey Coconut Macaroon Belgium Soft macaroons with a chocolate base and chocolate stripes. Good, but not worth the calories.
Blekis - Dwist - Vanilla Morocco Vanilla creme sandwiched between butter cookies. Decent.
Blekis - Tobigo - Hazelnut Morocco Vanilla sandwich wafers with hazelnut filling. Pretty good.
Blekis - Tobigo - Pyramido Morocco Chocolate sandwich wafer coated in chocolate. Has a slight coffee taste which is pretty good.
Cuétara - Bocaditos - Limón Spain Lemon sandwich cookies coated in sugar. Decent, but nothing special.
Daelmans - Stroopwafels, Honey Holland Wonderful crun-chewy texture with a delicious honey waffle flavor.
Diamond Bakery - Kakimochi USA, Hawaii Small crunchy cookies. Made with wheat flour rice crackers. A familiar yummy flavor with a hint of uniqueness.
Dulcesol - Palmera Spain A lightly-sugared puff pastry. Pretty dull.
Excelo - Biggy - Chocolate Morocco Layered wafers sandwiched in and coated with chocolate. Has a slight burnt, almost coffee-like taste which isn't bad.
Fig Newtons USA Favorites are blueberry, fig, strawberry.
Garden - Mini Cream Wafers - Strawberry Hong Kong Sandwich wafers with strawberry cream. It has a nice crunch, but the flavor is very subdued, so it's only a hint of strawberry. Rather disappointing.
Gamesa - Marias Mexico Sweet biscuits. Same texture and appearance as animal crackers (minus the shape), and similar, but markedly different, flavor.
Hawai'i Pretz - Kona Coffee Japan Biscuit sticks with a coffee flavor. I don't like coffee, but these were still enjoyable.
Henry's - Petit Surfin Morocco Simple crunchy wheat tea biscuits. Quite enjoyable.
Island Princess - Choco Mochi USA, Hawaii Slightly dark chocolate covered rice crackers. Harder than I would have expected from a rice cracker, but very crunchy and good flavor.
Jack 'n Jill - Fun-O - Vanilla Thailand Chocolate sandwich cookies with vanilla creme. Inferior Oreos with deceptively less creme than advertised.
Jacob's - Jaffa Cakes Ireland Mini sponge cakes with marmalade and chocolate coating. Pretty good, and not too sweet or bitter.
Juaninas Cookies Mexico Terrible. The jam-filled ones were hard, the butter cookies were powdery, and the box was missing one of the types listed on the assortment.
Jules Destrooper - Butter Crisps Belgium Thin hard waffles. Sweet buttery flavor, good crunch, a little boring.
Keebler - Coconut Dreams USA Ring-shaped cookies coated with caramel and roasted coconut and chocolate. Nearly identical to Girl Scouts Samoas.
Keebler - Grasshopper USA Mint chocolate cookies. Nearly identical to Girl Scouts Thinmints.
Keebler - Sandies Shortbread - Pecan USA A bland shortbread cookie with pecans. Not very good.
Kre Sko - Black Ukraine A crispy dark chocolate tube filled with vanilla creme. The creme is good, but the very dark brown, almost black, color of the tube is a bit off-putting.
Lotte Koala's March Thailand Small four-pointed cookies filled with creme (chocolate or strawberry), with a koala painted on them. The creme filling is nice and the cookie has a good crunch, but it's a bit bitter.
Macarons de Pauline Belgium Rather dry and crumbly, mild flavor. Flavors are chocolate, strawberry, and pistachio.
Melly's - Crepe Dentelle - Original United Arab Emirates Flaky rolled biscuits with a thin vanilla or chocolate filling. Good crunch, but bland.
Moon Pie USA Graham cracker cookie sandwich with marshmallow center, and the whole thing is coated in a glaze. Good flavor, but I'm not a huge fan of marshmallow. My favorites in order are chocolate, vanilla, then banana.
Oreo - Caramel Coconut USA Chocolate cookie sandwich filled with a caramel coconut cream. I can only taste the caramel, but I like it.
Oreo - Carrot Cake USA Filled with a spiced cream. Tastes like store-bought carrot cake, that is, far too sweet.
Oreo - Chocolate Marshmallow USA Filled with a chocolate marshmallow cream and has little marshmallow bits in the cookie. Quite good.
Oreo - Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie USA Graham cookie sandwich with half peanut butter, half chocolate creme. Kind of bland, not very good.
Oreo - Thins USA Less creme and thinner cookie portion. I actually like this better than regular Oreos.
Oreo - Thins, Dark Chocolate USA The filling is a more bitter chocolate cream. Not that great.

Oreo - Thins, Pistachio USA Very nice sweet nutty flavor. My favorite Oreo.
Palm Date Valley - Maamoul Date U.A.E. Shortbread biscuit with date filling. Crumbly texture, bland flavor. Not very good.

Pepperidge Farm - Caramel Apple USA Soft chewy texture, good spiced apple flavor, not overpowering.
Pepperidge Farm - Lexington USA Crunchy chocolate chip, toffee, and almond cookie. Decent, but nothing special.
Pepperidge Farm - Santa Cruz USA Chewy oatmeal raisin cookies. Quite enjoyable with a good amount of cinnamon.
Pepperidge Farm - Verona USA Shortbread with strawberry jam. Jam is good, shortbread ruins them.
Piaca - Pineapple Cake Shortcrust USA, Hawaii Shortcrust cake with pineapple jam filling. The jam is good, and the shortcrust isn't as bland as most.
Pocky - Chocolate Almond Crunch Japan Wafer sticks coated in milk chocolate and chopped almonds. Very tasty.
Pocky - Chocolate Banana Thailand Chocolate wafer sticks coated in banana cream. Decent banana flavor, not artificial. Quite nice.
Pocky - Crunchy Strawberry Japan Chocolate wafer sticks coated in strawberry cream and tiny chunks of strawberry. Delicious.
Slasti - Artek Waffles - Chocolate Ukraine Chocolate waffled creme wafers. Nice flavor, good crunch.

Want-Want - Rice Cracker Balls China Crunchy little balls of fried rice with chicken seasoning. Bland oily flavor; not very good.

Jellies

Product Country Notes

Jerky & Sausage

Product Country Notes
Country Archer Provisions - Mango Habanero USA, California Decent sweet flavor, with a medium level of heat which is spicier than most jerky, but the texture isn't very appealing.

Nuts, Seeds, and Produce

Product Country Notes
Big Bob - Wasabi Ukraine Roasted peanuts with a candy wasabi coating. Pretty good, but not strong enough of wasabi.
Bog Roll - Grilled Seaweed Thailand Flat seaweed, rolled into a cylinder. Good sweet and spicy taste, but it's ruined by the disgusting seaweed flavor.
Bigs - Original USA, Illinois Sunflower seeds roasted and salted in their shell. Nice flavor, not too salty, but a lot of empty shells. Comes in a resealable bag.
Bhuja - Nut Mix Australia Mix of peanuts, cashews, peas, chickpeas, almonds, and fried noodles spiced with in Indian spice mix. Decent flavor, but the chickpeas and peas give it a dusty texture.
Corn Nuts USA Corn kernels deep fried in corn oil and salted. A hard crunch that I love. My favorite is the original flavor. The ranch flavor adds some zest, but isn't as good.
Ferris Nut Co. - Crystalized Ginger USA Dried ginger root coated in granular sugar. Very potent.

Ferris Nut Co. - Sweetened Banana Chips USA Dried banana slices with added coconut oil, sugar, and banana flavor. Quite good.

Koh-Kae - Coconut Cream Thailand Peanuts covered with a coconut cream coating. Flavor is too mild.
Lays - Sunflower Seeds - Original USA Pretty awful flavor.
Lush Gourmet - Coconut Orange Peel Almonds USA, Michigan Almonds with a crunchy coconut and orange coating. Quite good.
Made in Nature - 'Nana Pops USA Bananas, raisins, dates, figs, and various nuts and seeds ground together and packed into balls. Probably healthy, but not very good.
Made in Nature - Smyrna Figs Turkey Dried figs without sulfur. A little smaller than regular figs, and the lack of sulfur gives them a hint of fermentation flavor which isn't unpleasent.
Meijer - Freeze Dried Strawberries USA Interesting crunch, and quite tart without the water.
Meijer - Glazed Maple Toasted Pecans USA Very sugary, but also quite good. It has a lovely maple caramel flavor.

Excelo - Genova - Double Crème Morocco A chocolate cake covered in chocolate. Decent, but very crumbly.
Excelo - Sandwichy - Chocolate Morocco Two layers of thin white cake topped with chocolate and with a thin chocolate layer in between. Decent flavor, but very messy.

Pretzels

Product Country Notes
Combos - Buffalo Blue Cheese USA It certainly has the flavor of a buffalo wing with bleu cheese dressing, but it's still pretty bland with a salty starchy taste.
Combos - Jalapeno Cheddar USA The jalapeno is immediately tasted, but, after that, it's mostly the bland taste of fake cheese, salt, and starch.
Dot's - Homestyle Pretzels USA, North Dakota Spicy and buttery pretzel rods. Very good.

Salyut (Салют) Ukraine Corn puff with sour cream, onion, and dill flavoring. Decent, but nothing special.
Calbee - Shrimp Chips - Yuzu and Black Peppet Thailand Fried wheat puffs with a very subtle shrimp, and yuzu flavor, with a black pepper after taste. A bit underwhelming.
Charras - DoniLokas - Chile Limón Mexico Nice tangy lime and spicy flavor, and the puffed wheat rings are light and airy with a great crunch. Strange after taste, and I don't care for the Jesus fish on the package.
Cheetos USA A fried crunchy corn puff with cheese powder. Far better than cheese puffs or cheese balls, but very artificial cheese flavor. As a child, I loved them, but now I find them too bland and prefer Flaming Hot Cheetos.
Cheetos - Cheddar Jalapeno Crunch USA Adds a hint of jalapeno to Cheetos. Not as hot as Flaming Hot Cheetos, and not as good of a flavor either.
Cheetos - Flaming Hot USA Same crunch as regular Cheetos, but the cheese is replaced with a sweet red chili powder. It causes a nice burn that slowly increases the more you eat. My favorite Cheetos flavor.
