Jacob's - Jaffa Cakes | Ireland | Mini sponge cakes with marmalade and chocolate coating. Pretty good, and not too sweet or bitter. |
Juaninas Cookies | Mexico | Terrible. The jam-filled ones were hard, the butter cookies were powdery, and the box was missing one of the types listed on the assortment. |
Jules Destrooper - Butter Crisps | Belgium | Thin hard waffles. Sweet buttery flavor, good crunch, a little boring. |
Keebler - Coconut Dreams | USA | Ring-shaped cookies coated with caramel and roasted coconut and chocolate. Nearly identical to Girl Scouts Samoas. |
Keebler - Grasshopper | USA | Mint chocolate cookies. Nearly identical to Girl Scouts Thinmints. |
Keebler - Sandies Shortbread - Pecan | USA | A bland shortbread cookie with pecans. Not very good. |
Lotte Koala's March | Thailand | Small four-pointed cookies filled with creme (chocolate or strawberry), with a koala painted on them. The creme filling is nice and the cookie has a good crunch, but it's a bit bitter. |

Fig Newtons | USA | Favorites are blueberry, fig, strawberry. |

Oreo - Thins | USA | Less creme and thinner cookie portion. I actually like this better than regular Oreos. |
Oreo - Thins, Dark Chocolate | USA | The filling is a more bitter chocolate cream. Not that great. |
Oreo - Thins, Mint | USA | Adds a light minty flavor. I like this more than regular Oreos. |
Oreo - Thins, Pistachio | USA | Very nice sweet nutty flavor. My favorite Oreo. |
Pejoy | Thailand | Biscuit cylinders filled with cream. Flavors include cookies & creme and matcha. Good texture and more subdued flavors. The tea flavor is too mild. |

Pepperidge Farm - Caramel Apple | USA | Soft chewy texture, good spiced apple flavor, not overpowering. |
Pepperidge Farm - Lexington | USA | Crunchy chocolate chip, toffee, and almond cookie. Decent, but nothing special. |
Pepperidge Farm - Santa Cruz | USA | Chewy oatmeal raisin cookies. Quite enjoyable with a good amount of cinnamon. |

Crackers
Product | Country | Notes |
---|---|---|
Finn Crisps | Finland | Thin and crispy sourdough rye crackers. Decent flavor, not too salty. |
Honey Maid Graham Crackers - Cinnamon | USA | Nice graham flavor, and the cinnamon and sugar makes it effectively a cookie. |
Jerky
Product | Country | Notes |
---|---|---|
Old Trapper - Hot & Spicy | USA | Really tough jerky. It's hot, but not much flavor. |
Nuts and Produce
Product | Country | Notes |
---|---|---|
Bhuja - Nut Mix | Australia | Mix of peanuts, cashews, peas, chickpeas, almonds, and fried noodles spiced with in Indian spice mix. Decent flavor, but the chickpeas and peas give it a dusty texture. |
Ferris Nut Co. - Crystalized Ginger | USA | Dried ginger root coated in granular sugar. Very potent. |
Ferris Nut Co. - Salted Plantain Chips | USA | Dried plantain slices with added palm oil, and salt. Similar in flavor to potato chips, but with a more mealy texture. |
Ferris Nut Co. - Sweetened Banana Chips | USA | Dried banana slices with added coconut oil, sugar, and banana flavor. Quite good. |
Made in Nature - 'Nana Pops | USA | Bananas, raisins, dates, figs, and various nuts and seeds ground together and packed into balls. Probably healthy, but not very good. |
Meijer - Salted Pistachios (No shell) | USA | Not as enjoyable as eating them from their shells. |
Pure Organic - Layered Fruit Bar | USA | Firm gelatin fruit bar. Flavor was pineapple passionfruit. Nice flavor and texture. |
Sunsweet - Amaz!n Prunes - Orange Essence | USA | I don't care for the added orange essence. It tastes too artificial. |
Other
Product | Country | Notes |
---|---|---|
Alessi - Grissini al Sesamo | Italy | Long crispy bread sticks covered in sesame seeds. Good crunch, very light, nice sesame flavor. |
Cakebites - Classic Italian Rainbow | USA | Three-layer colorful almond cakes with separated by raspberry jam and dipped in dark chocolate. Decent flavor and texture, strong almond flavor, pretty good. |
Club Minis Mix | USA | A mix if club crackers, pretzels, and cheese puffs. Bland, salty, and powdery texture. Threw it out before I even got halfway through. |
Corn Nuts | USA | Corn kernels deep fried in corn oil and salted. A hard crunch that I love. My favorite is the original flavor. The ranch flavor adds some zest, but isn't as good. |
Corn Nuts Crunch Mix | USA | Corn Nuts mixed with mini corn chips, corn puffs, and corn sticks. I don't like the corn puffs and the chips are very generic. I would prefer just Corn Nuts. I've only tried Fiery Hot, which is indeed hot. |
Jayone - Sweet Crunchy Rice Snack | South Korea | Essentially a rice cake in tube form with more sugar. Bland and kind of messy to eat. |
Meijer - Oat Bran Sesame Sticks | USA | Nice crunch and good flavor. |
Popcorn
Product | Country | Notes |
---|---|---|
Cretors - Four Cheese Mix | USA | Nice cheesy flavor, but a bit salty. |
Devon's Mackinac Island Popcorn Co. - Fruit Salad Candied Popcorn | USA | Candy-coated popcorn. Flavors include apple, banana, blue raspberry, cherry, grape, orange, and strawberry. Colorful and delicious. |
Smartfood - White Cheddar Cheese Popcorn | USA | My favorite white cheddar popcorn. |
Pretzels
Product | Country | Notes |
---|---|---|
Combos - Buffalo Blue Cheese | USA | It certainly has the flavor of a buffalo wing with bleu cheese dressing, but it's still pretty bland with a salty starchy taste. |
Combos - Jalapeno Cheddar | USA | The jalapeno is immediately tasted, but, after that, it's mostly the bland taste of fake cheese, salt, and starch. |
Dot's - Homestyle Pretzels | USA, North Dakota | Spicy and buttery pretzel rods. Very good. |
Dot's - Homestyle Pretzels - Southwest Seasoned | USA, North Dakota | Spicy and buttery pretzel rods. Robust flavor, but too salty. |

Puffs
Product | Country | Notes |
---|---|---|
Bin Bin Rice Crackers - Original Flavor | Thailand | Crunchy and airy rice crackers coated in a fine salty-sweet MSG powder. Very delicious. |

Bissli - Pizza | Israel | Kind of bland, not a very good pizza flavor. |
Calbee - Shrimp Chips - Yuzu and Black Peppet | Thailand | Fried wheat puffs with a very subtle shrimp, and yuzu flavor, with a black pepper after taste. A bit underwhelming. |
Charras - DoniLokas - Chile Limón | Mexico | Nice tangy lime and spicy flavor, and the puffed wheat rings are light and airy with a great crunch. Strange after taste, and I don't care for the Jesus fish on the package. |
Cheetos | USA | A fried crunchy corn puff with cheese powder. Far better than cheese puffs or cheese balls, but very artificial cheese flavor. As a child, I loved them, but now I find them too bland and prefer Flaming Hot Cheetos. |
Cheetos - Cheddar Jalapeno Crunch | USA | Adds a hint of jalapeno to Cheetos. Not as hot as Flaming Hot Cheetos, and not as good of a flavor either. |
Cheetos - Flaming Hot | USA | Same crunch as regular Cheetos, but the cheese is replaced with a sweet red chili powder. It causes a nice burn that slowly increases the more you eat. My favorite Cheetos flavor. |
Harvest Snaps - Tomato Basil | USA | Lentil and rice based baked puffed fries flavored with tomato basil powder. Enjoyable flavor, adequate crunch. |
Harvest Snaps - Tangy Sweet Chili | USA | Lentil and rice based baked ring puffs flavored with sweet chili powder. Very tasty and a good crunch. |
