The Snackpot: Why We Do It.
The Snackpot is taking a time-out to refill our treat coffers and take care of some website housekeeping. But while we’re away from daily posts, we wanted to bring you some thoughts from our editorial crew on the nature of snacking itself.
Friday Night Snackdown: Hapi Wasabi Peas vs. Hapi Sriracha Peas

Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes
Hey! This Zebra Cake is shaped like a TREE!
7-Eleven “Select” Big Bite Hot Dog Potato Chips
7-Eleven patches the flavor profile of a hot dog into that of a potato chip. Are you repulsed or intrigued? We were both.
Starburst (Original)
Starbursts (original flavor), the only snack that tastes its own future from 10 billion light years away. Your snack future is the same as its past.
Pringles’ Holiday Flavors And The Struggle For Seasonal Validity
Do we really need reindeer-flavored chips or holiday ham-flavored cupcakes? Let’s reel it back a notch, folks. There’s a reason these snacks are seasonal.

Counterpoint: Who’s Treating Who? A Hostess Legacy, Considered
Nostalgia tastes better than any flavor in the world, and let’s be honest: Hostess peddles nostalgia and whimsy more than it does delicious food. And that isn’t the same thing as taste.

Arguments regarding whether Strawberry was the only truly palatable Pop Tart lead us to dig a little deeper into the Pop Tart canon.
Meiji Chocorooms
Meiji makes fanciful chocolate-based treats that may be a physical manifestation of a grandmother’s love, but why the bland biscuits?
Baked! Lays Southwestern Ranch Potato Crisps
Ranch will never leave us. In Big Snack’s world, it is the earth, the moon, the stars, the sky. If they could serve you a drink of ranch, they would. Thankfully, they’re currently only focusing on snack chips. Here’s the latest.
