Snacks! Reviews/'reviews' welcome

They're pretty much impossible to dunk in tea too as the tea will have a tonne of cookie bits in it.



Pros:
Great to dunk
nice thin layer of chocolate in the centre


Cons:
can only be dunked once otherwise you'd end up with a dollop of chocolate in yer tea.
May be too sweet for some.

Cheese is filthy. All of it. Apart from cheese on pizzas, oddly enough; but as a pure foodstuff, it's disgusting.

Really enjoyed reading the recent reviews. How did I not think of reviewing Oreos before too???

Agreed on the Pringles front. While my favourite flavour is Sour Cream and Onion, the problem I have with them is the added Monosodium Glutamate -- it makes me really, really thirsty. That and the whole 'made from dehydrated potatoes' thing, but boy are they delicious.

I love eating cheese as a snack. Recently bought the Cathedral City cheddar snack packs, and they are really tasty.

The best crisps for me are probably Tyrrells. Really good flavours (especially the cheese and onion) and the crisps themselves are nicely cooked. Addictive though...

I enjoy Mccoy's but the problem is that every flavour is the same; Mccoy's flavour.

Did you read Guest's post a while back?

Toilet Water



Pros:

Cool and refreshing
Free of charge
It's just lying there
Easily topped-up
Calorie free

Cons:

Can be hard to reach
What's this blue stuff being mixed with it?
"GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE TOILET, YOU WEIRDO!"
What do you mean toilet water isn't a snack?!
Escorted from the premises

Don't drink Crapston's Toilet Water, take your business elsewhere.

Now that's funny.

Dusty trying too hard again.

In "related" news, nupkin doesn't think she'll be able to eat a Gregg's sausage roll ever again after Guest's verdict.

That's no bad thing. It's if she gets too enthusiastic about eating them you've got a problem.

24 Jaffa Cakes



Pros:
Dispels the "chocolate and fruit don't work together" trend by getting the ratio just right.
Low in fat (I think).
A good source of energy.
There's 24 of the little blighters!

Cons:
Can get a bit dry after about 17.
Easy to share so people aren't afraid to ask for one.

You ate 24 Jaffa Cakes? Bloody hell! I'm not the biggest fan of them truth be told.

Where I come from, a "Jaffa" is a protestant. That's right, my home town is the only town in Scotland which practices sectarian violence.

And yes, it's true, but Guest's obscene review hasn't put me off all the other products my local Greggs has to offer. Apple Danishes and Strawberry Tarts are gobbled up in a matter of seconds!

You can't be Scottish, write 'gobbled' and call Guest obscene! Talk about kicking a man when he's down. Didn't you hear? Guest drank himself to death with grapefruit juice whilst struggling to open a child-proof medicine bottle in Northern Cyprus.

I'm so sorry, I had no idea.

It's hardly even a snack if you're not eating 24.

I highly doubt that (sadly) its just other towns are better at hiding it.

FACT.

Another pro/con however you look at it is they're easy to take down in one bite.

Marks & Spencer Full On Flavour Crisps - Sweet Thai Chilli



Pros:

Look fantastic - none of the overbaked nonsense here
A solid crunch
Smells authentic, I guess

Cons:

Where the hell is the taste?
The stalest crisp I've eating in a long time
Poor value for money
Not even addictive - a huge faux-pas in the world of crisps

43%

Full On Flavour, my ass! There's just none of the underlying sweetness that you'd get from a similar bag, like Walkers Sensations. You can't call your crisps by this name and have them taste like that. You're not fooling me, Marks/Spencer.

Dairy Milk Jelly popping candy shells


Mini Review: The jellies taste like the blue & pink things from bassets liquorice all sorts, goes surprisingly well with the chocolate and the shells add a nice crunch.

DAMMIT! I was just speaking to my mates about them on the way back from the pub - I was meaning to pick up a bar of that! I'll get one tomorrow. Too half-cut to do a review of my scran just now, truth be told.

Cadbury's Creme Eggs



Mini-review: The Cadbury's chocolate is lovely, but that's where the fun stops. The muck in the middle is cloying, and you feel awful after eating it. (Link.) They're a pain to unwrap as well. Heavily overrated.

25%

You're on your own there, Balladeer. The whole point of the Creme Egg is the muck in the middle. I wouldn't spend an afternoon wolfing them, but I'd multiply that score by three at a minimum.

I tried one of those Marvelous Creations bars that Jaster reviewed. Pretty good!

*Wrong
*Also not a snack

Clearly I must reinvent myself as a snack to remedy this.

I'll probably have the same opinion about Creme Eggs though.
