Chris- Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 The number of ingredients provides a pleasing amount of taste and texture variety, and their flexibility allows for both savory and sweet variations. I know everyone was pimping Combos in another thread, but I really think it is hard to consider Combos the best when Chex Mix Bold exists, let alone some of the absolutely awesome homemade Chex mixes that people can whip up (or the other brands' take; Trader Joe's version is dangerously addictive). I haven't tried some of the more exotic Chex Mixe varieties (like Hot & Spicy), but now that I'm a hot sauce guy it is absolutely on my to do list. In short, you are all wrong: Chex mix is the best snack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try the Trader Joe's version, each item is better in their take on it. You could also make you own that has whatever you want, even if it is just the Chex (that still constitutes a Chex mix IMO).

gamer.tv Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I’m not sure how it still has the name, but Bombay Mix is my jam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 When I get Chex Mix I pour them into a big bowl and pick out the pretzels and breadsticks and throw them in the trash. If the pretzels were salted they would be fine but they are bland as fuck and and weaken the overall flavor. I also prefer the cheddar version. I do like the rye chips in the regular version as well. I wish they could be less hard but I like them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 It's true. At the hotel we had Gardetto's and Chex Mix side by side. Gardetto's is the fancy Chex Mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I'm gunna have to agree with Chris here. Also, I like the "bland" pretzels too. Check mix has always been my favorite snack food really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM has more protein and less sodium. Trail mix is my main stash snack at work. I find trail mixes to be more filling without the need to eat a lot it. Doesn’t leave crumbs on my desk. Hands stay relatively clean. Doesn’t give me gas. 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal-El814 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Back in high school on a class trip to Boston I got food poisoning after eating some janky turkey. The last thing I’d eaten before the vomit storm was Chex mix. For years even seeing bagged Chex mix in the grocery store would cause my stomach to turn and if I smelled it I’d come close to vomiting. That was 25 years ago or so, and while I don’t have reactions anywhere near that dramatic anymore, I still can’t bring myself to eat it, even though I love it so.

Fizzzzle Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I ate an entire party size (or whatever the big one is called) bag of Munchies in one day when I was in high school, I've never been able to enjoy them much since. Also I kind of just don't like Doritos. Gardetto's are better than Chex Mix imo, but I do wish that Gardetto's had Chex pieces in them. That would be an S-tier snack. Like Combos, which are an S-tier snack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case.... 0/10, I hate eating on planes. Movies become better on planes, snacks become worse. The other day I had to sit next to a guy who was eating a fucking cheeseburger on the plane. Dick move. Don't be cheeseburger-on-the-plane guy. And what was worse is that it wasn't like a "oh shit I'm hungry, lemme grab something from McDonald's real quick on my way to the gate," this was takeout from a restaurant. Meaning he sat in the restaurant and specifically got the burger to take with him on the plane and ate it as soon as we took off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time on a plane there was a woman across the aisle who had a cheeseburger and fries with ketchup packets. And this woman had her food and was waiting for like a half hour at the gate. She had plenty of time to eat it but waited for the second we got into the air to crack it open. I would have been so irritated if I was next to her. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizzzzle Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Just now, Rachel said: Burgers smell good though? If it were like tuna or something I could see that but if it’s regular food that smells normal, whatever. People gotta eat. A cold cut sandwich is no big deal. Burgers are greasy and smelly, and not necessarily something you want to be smelling when you're trapped next to someone in a metal tube for hours.

stepee Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Yeah, you might like the smell, and maybe a lot of people do normally when they are eating one, but a burger PUTS OUT a lot of smell. You don’t really smell a cold sandwich unless you specifically have some smelly shit on it. Generally you have to be careful with anything cooked really.
