Lost In Xanadu Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) I was going to make this a pretzels thread, but I opened it up to other things. I have tried dozens of brands of pretzels... I have found the last one I will ever buy.... Tom Sturgis Stix. These are BY FAR the best pretzels I have ever had. They are cooked just long enough to have a slight smoky flavor from the oven, and are not overly salty either. http://www.tomsturgispretzels.com/ Other than having some of those with lunch, or occasionally dinner... I don't snack much on anything else other than some popcorn. :) Edited February 1, 2013 by Lost In Xanadu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILSnwdog Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Lately, I've been hooked on microwave kettle corn popcorn I got from the Boy Scouts. Also love Cool Ranch Doritos. Oh, and Tostitos with a hint of lime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Bay Rush Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 How about pistachios? You can't eat just one. Or one hundred. You have to eat a thousand of the goddam things... I think I'm up to 875 or so this evening. Expensive little buggers though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFireYYZ Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Lately, I've been addicted to Monster Trail Mix from Target - raisins, M&Ms, chocolate chips, peanuts, and peanut butter cups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Crackers w/pb and pickles are yummy. What's funny is that when I was knocked up, I didn't have any pickle cravings. With either baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janie Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Krispy Kreme doughnutsLast Sunday, I picked up some doughnuts for the family. I went right when they had a fresh batch of original glazed. Those doughnuts melt in your mouth. They are so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Krispy Kreme doughnutsLast Sunday, I picked up some doughnuts for the family. I went right when they had a fresh batch of original glazed. Those doughnuts melt in your mouth. They are so good. Our CFO got us hooked on doughnuts from a local bakery that makes Krispy Kreme and Dunkin' its bitch. They are HUGE - the size of a baby's head, and unbelievably fresh. No one bothers to bring in doughnuts from the chain bakeries anymore. Every once in a while, someone says, "doughnuts in the break room." Inevitably someone else replies, "Best Dang Bakery?" "No, Dunkin D's." The disappointment when this happens is palpable. I mean, at most offices people would be running each other over to get to the Dunkin' Doughnuts that someone else paid for. Not us. We are spoiled.

JohnnyBlaze Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 all kinds of stuff:- Krispy Kreme- nachos- pretzels (can never go wrong there)- cashews- bowl of popcorn with peanut M&M's hiding in there- cheetos...like someone else said, the regular kind or the cheesy poof ones non-mainstream stuff:- empanada [stuffed bread...various fillings ranging from pork & beef to beans & raisins]. I think it's originally a Spanish or Portuguese dish but I've only tried the Filipino style. Damn good stuff!- chicharon [again, the Filipino style]...these aren't the same pork rinds that you'd have out of a bag from the nearby 7-11. Dip them in vinegar & a dash of soy sauce. Make it go down with beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make it go down with beer. "We" make emanadas at least once a month. My wife takes masa, water and salt, flattens them into tortillas and fills with shredded beef or pork, cheese, veggies like peas/corn/carrot. Seals it up and fries in a shallow pan until golden brown. Serve with homemade salsa, sour cream and guac... you cannot go wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like it'd take a little something away from the filling. I'm not too big on condiments but that still sounds tasty and worth a go.

CygnusGal Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Canadian salt & vinegar potato chips (preferably Humpty Dumpty). I'll eat them until I hurt and the skin starts peeling from the inside of my mouth. At one point, I had a lot of people in my office hooked on them. I once made a "potato chip run" to Canada (oh, and to visit family too) and brought home 55 bags. Customs thought it was pretty funny. :D I do not like the U.S. salt & vinegar chips - wrong vinegar. But I can buy Humpty Dumpty's in Maine. :yay: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjbear05 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) Various snacks-pretzels with beer, Pringles with lunch, Cheetos with everything. A lot of popcorn with butter and salt-the Whirly-Pop gets used 2-3 times a week. Go through a lot of Misson corn chips, usually in nachos and botanas (layered chips, taco meat, refires, cheese). Not a big potoato chip fan anymore-I miss my Better Made chips from the D. Edited February 21, 2013 by pjbear05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
