Lay’s – Wavy Hickory BBQ

Lay’s – Wavy Hickory BBQ

I’m not a big Lay’s fan, mostly because their classic style of chip is iconic, but not my preference. Like my women, I like my chips hard and crunchy, and I want them to be…

Hi-Chew Premium – Mikan Mandarin Orange

Hi-Chew Premium – Mikan Mandarin Orange

And here we are again, with another stint of me putting chewy balls in my mouth and letting you know how it tastes. Some things never change eh? Ever the sucker for anything Hi-Chew, I…

Snack Factory – Garlic Parmesan Pretzel Crisps

Snack Factory – Garlic Parmesan Pretzel Crisps

Memories escape you as you get older. Sometimes you get memories mixed up and you’re not quite sure if you are remembering something correctly. I feel like this whole concept has been done before and…

Wawel – Brownie and Cherry Chocolate

Wawel – Brownie and Cherry Chocolate

I found this at a local European grocery store and it instantly caught my eye. Mostly because the bar has huge, but also because brownie and cherry sounds like a wildly decadent flavour and I’m…

Milka – Raspberry Creme

Milka – Raspberry Creme

I haven’t had Milka before, but based on the packaging and the fact that it’s owned by the same company that runs Cadbury, I’d assumed it’s not that different from the other purple packaged chocolate.…

Pretz – Roasted Salted Butter

Pretz – Roasted Salted Butter

I remember as a kid when Pretz only had a few flavours under it’s belt, I decided to deviate from my usual green box that housed the infamous salad flavour. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, as…

Fritos – Chili Cheese

Fritos – Chili Cheese

I sort of outgrew Fritos for the most part after childhood. One of the draws was the fact that because they were small chips, and the weight was roughly the same as other chips, it…

Barbara’s – Baked Cheez Puffs

Barbara’s – Baked Cheez Puffs

I often contemplate a lot of different things when I’m snacking. Like who the makers are, what they are up to and what the process behind product development was. Did they start with the idea…

Venco – Dropmix Fruitig

Venco – Dropmix Fruitig

Venco is an established, tenured brand that does mass market licorice. I’m always on the look out for licorice mixes since I’m not quite at the point of loving licorice on it’s own in most…

Oh Henry! – Level Up

Oh Henry! – Level Up

Oh Henry is on a very small list of snacks that the Frigid North gets that our salty northern friends in the US don’t. I can’t tell you why that is, thought I can only…
