Worst Snack Foods You’ve Seen/Tried (ingredients, burger, frozen)

Either things that were just gross, had a lot of calories, or however else you want to define it.

They buy snack variety packs at my work. Mostly the tiny bags have stuff like cookies in them. One however is a bag of Scooby Snacks. They’re made up to look just like little dog bones. So if you just put them in a bowl or something it looks like you’re eating dog treats. I’ve tried some and while the taste isn’t too bad they’re hard little things that can do a number on your teeth.

Also, I don’t know if they still sell it, but Jimmy Dean used to sell frozen hot dogs on a stick wrapped in a chocolate chip pancake. I actually never tried that one, but did look at the calorie count and remembered it wasn’t as bad as you’d expect. No idea what the sodium level was on them, but I’d expect not great lol.

My brother and I would have probably loved those if we were kids today. We used to sit out in the yard with our dog and a box of dog biscuits and all three of us would munch together.

Cheetos. Yech. They do nothing for me. Just junk crunch that isn't anything exciting.

Chirp Chips — way ahead of their time.

I tried the Hillary's brand meatless veggie burger pattie & they're just downright NASTY. I wish they tasted better. I haven't tried anything else of theirs.

Seaweed snacks. Low calorie, but taste like dirty sea water. Ughh.

Those are extremely popular in school lunches here, but then we have a lot of Asians.


I'll mention "Chicken in a Biscuit." They are a delicious cracker, BUT: Avoid if you have any kind of heart or blood pressure issues. A serving size of 12 crackers contains 230 mg. salt, that's 80 mg. more than saltines.

Hershey’s Mr. Goodbar, the 2020 version.

This used to be a decent chocolate bar, but when I tried one last week it was not the same as I remembered. The ingredients list shows why — chocolate is one of the last items. It’s now mostly oils and lecithin with just enough real chocolate to color it brown.

Virtually all American mainstream brands make horrible candies and chocolates. M&Ms, crack open and you can see very little cocoa content. It's more sugar and binders than pure chocolate. Snickers omg, the peanuts the use is so little and so much caramel. The worst part is the chocolate or lack of it. I know people think Hersheys is the go to brand. Their chocolate bars is so off the mark today how can they sell a bar that doesn't taste much real chocolate flavor vs say IKEA chocolate bar that cost less and taste a lot better. Another bad offender is kitkats, the reason so many millennials these days buy the Japanese version because it not tastes better, more variety, but the chocolate content is higher. Until Americans start buying other brands or demanding high quality these snacks are gonna start tasting all sugar and very little flavor.

Millennials could change this as they are buying less and less traditional mainstream brands and more specialty snacks and brands.

Turkey Jerky and Turkey Bacon. I like Turkey Sausage, but leave the turkey out of bacon and jerky.

I hate those little donuts. The chocolate ones leave a fatty coating on the roof of your mouth, and the powdered sugar ones make me choke on the powdered sugar.
