What's New on The Snackscape, Cretins?

Turkish figs. Love them. I do feel like I'm going to bite into one and get stung by a dead wasp every time I eat one though.

Rap Snacks have made it to Utah! So far so good. At Smiths.

These are new (to me) on the snackscape, and they are deadly.

Please step away from the chip aisle, Sir.

That's quite a picture.

Long story, but I've been risking covid to search various Smith stores for these with no luck. My wife sent this pic yesterday to show me she found them! Yes I have a snack problem. A deliciously salty snack problem.

Do you think these would sell better if they were renamed 'Maggot Snacks' and you, Skifishbum, and Benny had your own flavor?

Just a thought. Order incoming.

(And yes, benny's flavor would be sour cream)

Those Dot's pretzels are an abomination.

The only pretzels you'll ever need: www.martinspretzelspa.com

I have 8 pounds en-route to me now.

Which ones do you get? I'm guessing burnt and extra salty.

But seriously, which ones?

**MakersTeleMark** · 01-29-2021, 08:36 PM

$40 for pretzels? WTF?

Ok, boomer.

That said, I'm open to eating any new salty snack in the pursuit of eating more salty snacks. But i'm not gonna plunk down a minimum of $30 for a an old jesus pretzel I've never tried first.

I thought paying $5.99 for a bag of Dot’s pretzels was crazy. My wife and youngest agreed they were the best pretzels we’ve ever tried.

Glade’s recommendation of the insane priced pretzels only reaffirms my view of the TGR genre in general. My eyes bugged out when I saw someone willing to give up 16k in stock purchases purely for a joke. Most of you folks live on an entirely different realm than I do.

Keep on keeping on.

**ötzi** · 01-29-2021, 09:28 PM

Never had those pretzels and I'm not saying they're cheap but the $30 is for 3 pounds so that's $10/lb and the way he's buying them they're $6.75/lb so that's not too radically different than $5.99 in my book. Plus he keeps saying they're the best pretzels evar. So ya know, I dunno.

It's okay, Bob. We need someone to represent Joe six-pack here.

$54/16 is $3.38 per 8 ounce bag. That seems reasonable for snacks shipped to your door. Most junk food seems to be in the $2-4/bag range. Buy in bulk, they're pretzels, they'll keep for a few months.

Ice, I get primarily the standard Salted ones, but I usually grab a couple bags of Extra Salty and Burnt ones for good measure. The Burnt ones are stellar with an ice cold Pilsner and a hearty mustard. The Extra Salty have to be enjoyed in extreme moderation unless you've just run an ultramarathon in a desert.

For realz. I stocked up while Costco had them on sale and now I'm almost out of my stash.

**basinbeater** · 01-30-2021, 12:06 PM

I love the dots, (original only) and they are super yum. But I don't buy them very often, because they are expensive, and they disappear down my belly right away. However, If I had to be restricted to one pretzel the rest of my life, it would be this...

I rarely buy those, because the box disappears in like a day. They just hit the spot.
