Smartfood – Movie Night Butter

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…
