OLW - Dill & Gräslök | Sweden | Ruffled potato chips dusted with dill & chives. Pretty good. |
Pringles - Salt & Vinegar | USA, Tennessee | Nice tangy flavor, but the potato powder gives them a mealy texture. |

Banana Chips - Original | St. Mary's | Jamaica | Fried green banana slices. Kind of boring. |
Big Roll - Grilled Seaweed | Tao Kae Noi | Thailand | Flat seaweed, rolled into a cylinder. Good sweet and spicy taste, but it's ruined by the disgusting seaweed flavor. |

Dunk | Sunsnack | Thailand | Sunflower seeds coated in a corn and cheese flavored coating. Decent. |

Fruit Bar | That's It | USA, California | Fruit bars made from only dried fruit. I've only had the apple cherry bar. It was tart and bland. |
Fruit & Nut Snackaballs - Salted Caramel | Tom & Luke | New Zealand | Mealy, bland and quite unappealing. |
Giant Sized Sunflower Seeds | South Forty | USA, Washington | Roasted and salted sunflower seeds. The shells are huge, but the seeds are normal sized. The larger shells actually make them harder to crack without splintering. |
Glazed Maple Toasted Pecans | Meijer | USA | Very sugary, but also quite good. It has a lovely maple caramel flavor. |
Hot Nuts | Barcel | Mexico | Peanuts with a thin candy coating and spiced with lime flavor. Very good. Flavors include fuego (fire) and original. |

Salted Pistachios (No shell) | Meijer | USA | Not as enjoyable as eating them from their shells. |

Salted Sunflower Kernels | Meijer | USA, Michigan | Exactly what it says. Tastes fine. |
Smyrna Figs | Made in Nature | 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 unpleasant. |
Spitz | Frito-Lay | USA, Texas | Sunflower seeds in their shells. Smaller seeds, but fewer rotten ones. Also, less salt than most competitors. This is my favorite brand of sunflower seeds. Sold in resealable bags. Flavors include dill pickle and black pepper. |

Fish Bowl Mix | Horrocks Farm Market | USA, Michigan | Mixture of cheesy whale-shaped crackers, spicy crescent-shaped crackers, little pretzel balls, peanuts, small bran chips, and almonds. Pretty good mixture. |
Oat Bran Sesame Sticks | Meijer | USA | Nice crunch and good flavor. |

Sweet Crunchy Rice Snack | Jayone | South Korea | Essentially a rice cake in tube form with more sugar. Bland and kind of messy to eat. |
Wafle Ryżowe - Z Belgijską Czekoladą Mleczną | Kupiec | Poland | Rice cakes with Belgian milk chocolate on one side. Just as boring as it sounds. |
Popcorn
Product | Country | Notes |
---|---|---|
Cono Popcorn - Burning BBQ | Egypt | Popcorn with a mildly spicy BBQ salt. Pretty good. |
Cretors - Four Cheese Mix | USA | Nice cheesy flavor, but a bit salty. |
Devon's Mackinac Island Popcorn Co. - Fruit Salad Candied Popcorn | USA | Candy-coated popcorn. Flavors include apple, banana, blue raspberry, cherry, grape, orange, and strawberry. Colorful and delicious. |
GFS - Handcrafted Kernels | USA, Michigan | Candy-coated popcorn. Cherry is very good, birthday cake is delicious, piña colada is okay, green apple looks hideous, but is okay, blueberry is kind of dull. |
Smartfood - White Cheddar Cheese Popcorn | USA | My favorite white cheddar popcorn. |
Pretzels
Product | Country | Notes |
---|---|---|
Better Made - Rods | USA, Michigan | Standard pretzel rods. Nice crunch, good amount of salt. |
Beskidzkie Paluszki - Bekonu | Poland | Long thin pretzel sticks with bacon salt. Decent, but the bacon salt tastes artificial. |
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. |
Dot's - Homestyle Pretzels - Southwest Seasoned | USA, North Dakota | Spicy and buttery pretzel rods. Robust flavor, but too salty. |
Dot's - Homestyle Pretzels - Honey Mustard | USA, North Dakota | Has a delicious sweet honey mustard flavor. |
Havlík - Trvanlivé Tyčinky | Czech Republic | Wheat pretzel rods. Their semi-crunchy texture makes them feel stale. I've had medvědí česnek flavor (bear garlic) which is fine. |
Meijer - Pretzel Rods | USA | Bland and with very little salt. |
Pop Daddy Pretzels - Garlic Parmesan | USA, Michigan | Pretzel sticks covered in a garlic Parmesan powder. Not very good. |
Pop Daddy Pretzels - Yellow Mustard | USA, Michigan | Pretzel sticks covered in yellow mustard powder. Tastes very similar to actual yellow mustard. |
Pretz - Corn | Thailand | Pretzel sticks with buttered corn flavor. Decent flavor, but starchy pretzels. |
Pretz - Larb | Thailand | Pretzel sticks with larb spice. The flavor is good, but it's very salty and the pretzel is too starchy. |
Pretzilla Bites | USA, Wisconsin | Soft pretzel bites. Good flavor and texture, but the salt is not on the bites, so you have to apply it yourself from the included packet, which is messy. |
Snyder's of Hanover - Pretzel Pieces - Honey Mustard & Onion | USA | Hard sourdough pretzels cracked into pieces covered with a honey mustard & onion powder. Flavor is decent, but I wish it were a bit stronger. |
Snyder's of Hanover - Pretzel Pieces - Hot Buffalo Wing | USA | Hard sourdough pretzels cracked into pieces covered with buffalo powder. Flavor is good and tastes similar to wings. |
Snyder's of Hanover - Pretzel Rods | USA, North Carolina | Salted hard pretzel rods. The crunch and flavor you would expect from a pretzel rod. |
Puffs
Product | Country | Notes |
---|---|---|
Aspil - Xispazos - Eléctrico | Spain | Little corn puffs with mild chili flavoring. Decent flavor and crunch. |
Bin Bin Rice Crackers - Original Flavor | Thailand | Crunchy and airy rice crackers coated in a fine salty-sweet MSG powder. Very delicious. |
Bissli - BBQ | Israel | Kind of bland, not a very good BBQ. |
Bissli - Pizza | Israel | Kind of bland, not a very good pizza flavor. |
Bohemia - Křupky Arašídové | Czech Republic | Corn puffs coated in peanut dust. Very oily, not that great. |
Салют (Salyut) | 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 Jalapeño Crunch | USA | Adds a hint of jalapeño 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. |
Cheetos - Sticks | Spain | Puffed corn in stick shape with cheese powder (a bit like Andy Capp's Cheddar Fries). A more robust flavor than American cheese puffs, but still dull. |
Don Nopal | Mexico | Skinny corn puffs coated with red chili powder (very close in flavor to Takis). Pretty good. |
Dots Homestyle Snacks - Baked Cheese Curls | USA, North Dakota | Baked cornmeal puffs coated in cheese powder. Too salty, not as good as Cheetos. |
Frigeo - Fruchtiger Knusper Puffreis (Fruity Crispy Puffed Rice) | Germany | Tiny rice and corn puffs with a fruit flavor and a hint of sour. The initial taste is delicious, but the aftertaste is grainy. |
Frito Lay - Mini Cheetos Shots | Turkey | Small football-shaped corn puffs with a semi-sweet cheesy flavor. More like cereal than Cheetos. |
Funyuns | USA | Corn puffs shaped like onion rings with a strong onion flavor. Delicious. |
Haitai - Roasted Green Onion Snack | South Korea | Very similar to Funyuns, but better with a sweeter and stronger onion flavor. |
Harvest Snaps - Kick'n BBQ | USA, Oregon | Lentil and rice based baked ring puffs flavored with spicy BBQ. Good crunch, decent enjoyable BBQ flavor. |
Harvest Snaps - Sour Cream & Onion | USA, Oregon | Lentil and rice based baked ring puffs flavored with sour cream and onion. Kind of boring. |
Harvest Snaps - Tomato Basil | USA, Oregon | Lentil and rice based baked puffed fries flavored with tomato basil powder. Enjoyable flavor, adequate crunch. |
Harvest Snaps - Tangy Sweet Chili | USA, Oregon | Lentil and rice based baked ring puffs flavored with sweet chili powder. Very tasty and a good crunch. |
Holiday - Chick 'n Chips | Trinidad and Tobago | Puffed fries and chicken drumsticks with ketchup powder. Not as bad as it sounds. |
Humpty Dumpty - Cruncheez | Canada, Alberta | Canadian Cheetos. |
Incredi Puffs - Sizzlin' Sriracha | USA, Ohio | Corn puffs with chili pepper dust. Decently spicy, but doesn't taste like sriracha. Not a fan of the texture. |
National - Cheezy Voltz - Spicy Monster Paws | Jamacia | Greasy corn puffs with a spicy cheese coating. Very artificial flavor. |
Nongshim - Onion Snack | South Korea | Onion-flavored wheat puffs shaped like onion petals. Very good. Not as intense an onion flavor as Funyuns, but with a hint of sweetness and a softer crunch. |
Potato Boom | Ukraine | Cornmeal and potato puffed fries with ketchup flavoring. Tangy, but nothing special. |
Quaker - Rice Crisps | USA, Illinois | Mini cakes formed from rice flour and corn grits. Kind of crunchy, but with a soft/hard texture and a starchy consistency that I'm not a fan of. Flavors are sweet barbecue (sweet and savory) and caramel (yummy). |
Sunshine Snacks - Chee Zees - Jalapeño | Trinidad and Tobago | Same shape and texture as Cheetos, but with a hint of jalapeño to the cheese. Nothing special. |
