Rogue Voodoo Doughnuts pretzel, raspberry, and chocolate ale: I generally don't drink beer, but I sampled this one in the name of snacks. This ale was inspired by a flavored doughnut from the Voodoo Doughnuts shops in Portland. The chocolate and raspberry flavor came through in the finish, and perhaps the pretzel flavor was captured in the earlier savory notes. Not something I can imagine drinking a full cup, but interesting.

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

Horizon cheddar sandwich crackers: Made with better ingredients than Ritz for sure, but honestly not that different in taste. On the salty side. Pricy for what it is. Not a filling snack like its peanut butter sandwich counterpart, which I previously reviewed. 2.5/5.0

Droste mint pastilles: Dutch half-dome-shaped chocolates with crystals of mint-flavored sugar sprinkled throughout. Chocolate has a good snap. Flavor is not bad but not especially special. 3.0/5.0

Annie's Cheddar Snack Mix: Contains pretzels, cheddar bunny crackers, and buttery crackers. Mixed together, the buttery crackers don't taste much different than the cheddar crackers, which means there are essentially only two types in this mix: pretzels and cheese crackers. Technically, I suppose that's the least number you can have that still constitutes a \"mix,\" but I would argue this box lacks variety. Moreover, it gets pretty salty after a few handfuls. Not one of the better Annie's snacks. 2.5/5.0

Horizon Peanut Butter Sandwich crackers: Really nice quality peanut butter. The problem is that there is only a sliver of it about a millimeter thick in each sandwich. The filling to cracker ratio is off. Additionally, the crackers are seasoned so that the dominant taste after a few pieces is salt. Which is probably good for portion control, since only 12 of these crackers make up a serving. At least for me, this is not nearly enough to feel any level of satiation. Definitely made for kids with smaller appetites. 2.5/5.0
