Smartfood – Movie Night Butter
Smartfood has pretty good brand cache, as the kids call it. At least in the Frigid North, it’s the go to brand when we think of prepackaged popcorn that’s easily accessible and basically everywhere. In…

Ruffles Double Crunch – Ketchup
Ruffles were the first main brand that I grew up with offering a thicker, ridged chip. Given how much I love heartier, crunchier chips, I don’t think it’s a coincidence that they were a big…

I’m not shy about being clear about my disdain for plain old pretzels. I love pretzel buns, big soft pretzels, and flavoured pretzel pieces. But the standard packaged snack of pretzel sticks or knots is…
