Snack Mix

Is there a hidden meaning behind how you eat your snack mix and what it says about you as a person?

To use myself as an example, I thoroughly enjoy the bagel chips. Especially the pumpernickle kind. (Nope, I didn't make up that word.) Beyond that, I eat everything equally, first. Then, I eat all the pumpernickle bagel chips. There is no discrimination between pretzel and sesame seed nugget. No distinction between twisted pretzel and pretzel stick. No difference between mini-breadstick, and chex. But oh, the bagel chips. Crunchy. Salty. Bite-size. Crunchy. Delicious. Crunchy.

What about you? Are you a chex lover? Do you salivate thinking about mini-breadsticks? Do you eat your mix in a particular order - first twisted pretzels, then sesame seed pretzels, then (God forbid you don't eat them last) bagel chips, chex, and pretzel sticks?

Also, any preference on the brand? I find particular delight in Gardetto's Original Recipe Snack Mix. The Gardetto's Italian Mix is pretty good too. This one time, at band camp. Scratch that. This one time, my sister-in-law Janessa found an entire container devoted to just the Gardetto's pumpernickle bagel chips. She was my hero that day.

I was getting all excited because I was going to tell you about the special secret bags of pumpernickel only, and then there it was, you already know! So, those are definitely my favourite. After that I like the regular Gardettos. If I'm eating them right out of the bag I go for the pumpernickel first before anyone else can get them (my mom tried to teach me to share, but it just didn't stick). If I'm eating a handful or cupful or whatever, I eat all of one kind at a time with the pumpernickel last. I said pumpernickel a lot.

And also, those special secret bags made it on a top 10 list of all time worst packaged foods in America. That's how you know they're good.
