Tangy Toms



Pros:
Nostalgia - part of the cheap school crisps posse
Actually tangy and slightly reminiscent of tomato

Cons:
The nostalgia is 2nd on the "old shit crisps" list, behind Space Raiders
Tomato is overpowered by ARTIFICAL CRISP FLAVOURING


Overall: 67%

Smith's Bacon Flavour Fries



Pretty impressed with these. When I first saw them on shop shelves, for around twice the price of a bag of delicious Frazzles, I originally assumed it was just a tactical rebranding of those, looking and tasting the same.

A year later and I see a bag reduced to around 50p, and boy was I glad I tried some.

These are AMAZING compared to Frazzles, instead sporting a far crispier, solid texture than Frazzles' more fragile, light and air-y crunch. Not only that, but they have a stronger flavour, too, and overall are a lot more satisfying to eat than a bag of Frazzles despite being a bit similar.

I'm impressed, and I'd recommend them to anyone who likes bacon crisps. Shame about the higher price, though, and Smiths don't seem to sell these in multipack bags like they do Frazzles.

Reggae Reggae groove cut crisps



Mini-review: These are just packed full of flavour & its like you're actually eating a bag full of fresh ingredients.

Oh wow! I need to give those a go, I did see Reggae Reggae sauce pizza, though I decided to pass on that.

Now it's approaching summer weather, maybe it'd be a great idea to share ice cream/sorbet reviews or something?

It's been a while since my last snack review. I attribute this absence to the fact I've not eaten anything lately.

Daelmans Stroopwafels



Pros:

Insanely wolfable - you could demolish a packet of these in minutes.
Chewy and crispy: a rarity in the texture world.
A decent substitute for a real, fresh one

Cons:

Caramel center doesn't melt quite enough over a mug of piping-hot tea for my liking.
'Light snack'? Is it f**k.
Not good for you. Not at all.

There's much to enjoy about these, but your gut and teeth will hate you for them. Marks deducted as it's just not as good with tea as, say, a scone.

Syrup waffles, how I miss thee...

That last point's a good one, luckily I've resisted them every time over the last half a year or so, because I know I'm just going to eat through the whole bag and go on a sugar rush or something.

Now if only I could do the same for Pringles whenever they are on offer, and I'll be fine. Hate waking up with a parched mouth after eating a can of those.

I've yet to find a bad Reggae Reggae food product. The Reggae Reggae Dominos pizza that was out a while back was lush.

Going off this experience:

A Diet



Pros:

• Helps you lose weight, which is good for your health if you're obese.
  

Cons:

• Not as tasty as proper food.
  
• Hard to keep up.
  
• High chance of relapse when you finish.
  
• Dull topic of conversation.  Furthermore...
  
• If female, you will suddenly start talking about it to everyone.  Apparently.
  
• Pudding is great.

Gets a minus mark because it's doing the opposite to a snack.  Even then, it isn't that great.  Just do more exercise instead.

So it's the Secret Flirts of snacking then?

Next year I will make it a mission to call a student a 'stroopwafel', as in "You stroopwafel, two minus signs make a plus sign!"*

* Yes, Maths fans, the two minus signs thing is more subtle than that!

Not a snack review, but snack related: read the comments down the bottom. And ignore the off-topic idiots who persist on talking about some car game and its internet practices.

All in all, I'm quite proud of myself.

*Sheds tear*.

On the topic of Dark Digestives, yum. Feel like buying a pack now, haven't eaten any in ages!

While I can't find an image, I've been a bit addicted to Marks & Spencers' Madeira Cake slab recently.

An actual snack I tried recently: my parents brought this back from Japan:



Basically a giant cheesy Wotsit.  Unfortunately I don't like cheesy Wotsits.

Now for something I do like:



Gorgeous.  A king among wrapped biscuits.

Wait, they still make those? BRB.

Ah wow! I forgot about these! Give it a rating or my snack Metacritic karma will be unbalanced.

Very well: 9/10. Not common enough to merit higher.

Chris has finally lost it...

 So proud of myself.

You shouldn't be, dark chocolate anything is horrible  

Well that is just wrong...

Using gifs just defeats the purpose of arguments, I'm outta here

That article from Chris was great also I don't think you can beat wrestling related gifs.
