Mini Takis Zombie Nitro Flavor: Of all the snacks in my first #munchpak, I was most anxious about trying this one. First, I've rarely seen this brand outside of convenience stores and gas stations. Next, the green color of the \"zombie\" themed flavor screams artificial. But I found myself pleasantly surprised that the snack wasn't actually bad. The chips texturally are like rolled up Fritos, making them pretty dense. What makes the snack stand out is its habanero and cucumber flavor combo, which is reminiscent of green s...

PopCorners Cheesy Jalapeño Chips: I've generally been a fan of Pop Corners, a mainstream popcorn chip brand whose products are flavorful without being over-seasoned. After stumbling across the jalapeñ cheddar flavor for the first time, I decided to give it a try. With the first chip, I thought the heat level was quite weak, but the jalapeñ sneaks up on you after several more. The flavor is kind of junk-food-like but in a satisfyingly healthy way, as you know you're eating popcorn and not some deep fried potato chip. I went t... (read more) 3.5/5.0

Frito Lay Oven Baked Cheetos: Here, Frito-Lay continues its venture into healthier snacking, yet doesn't abandon the iconic Chester seal of approval. The oven-baked cheese crackers have a less tangy "cheddar" flavor than its fried (?) counterpart. Most strikingly, the chips are less airy and don't melt-in-your-mouth like the regular snack does. Overall, it's a decently filling snack that does the job of satiating mid-day hunger. 3.0/5.0

Ocean's Halo Korean BBQ seaweed chips: The first thing I noticed upon opening this package was its scent, which is eerily similar to fish food. Scent aside, the taste is almost exactly as you would expect fish food to taste. Now, that's not necessarily a bad thing; these words are coming from someone who grew up eating various seafood snacks liked dried squid and eel which might make western palates squeamish. But the flavor is not bad-the purple chips are crunchy and thin, and the Korean bbq comes through with a familiar sweet a... (read more) 3.5/5.0

Herr's baked aged cheddar chips: I purchased these from a vending machine in lab since it was the only healthier choice option I saw. This is the first time I had chips that tasted like Kraft Mac and cheese cheese powder. Definitely on the salty side. Very few chips (I believe around 13) per bag. Serving size is probably the main reason this is one of the lower calorie vending machine options. 1.5/5.0

Yes Chips shrimp dressed in garlic: To be honest, the main reason I bought this snack was the ridiculousness of a shrimp wearing a head of garlic. Packaging aside, the chips themselves have a styrofoam-like texture, not unlike airy shrimp chips that were given to non-Asian diners in Chinese restaurants in the 90s. Still, the seafood flavor is actually quite good, and the garlic doesn't leave a strong aftertaste. The chips melt in your mouth (from all of the saturated fat, I'm sure). 3.5/5.0
