We all know what it's like to sit down, probably with a mate or two, stick on Netflix and get into some serious snack binging and series binging. It's something that has only really come about in the modern world, a modern invention for a time when things have to be fast and easy. We wanted to create a quiz that celebrated this brilliant way of relaxing at the end of a week.
What we've done is get together some of the best snacks out there, the sort of thing that everyone wants around while they're relaxing in the house. We want people to pick or pass on these items, decide which snacks they just don't understand and which they couldn't possibly live without. Once that's done, we'll take those answers and be able to tell people which Netflix series they should be binging next time they get a free day or two! That way, they'll know exactly what to watch and exactly which snacks they need to be buying as well.
So, we want to get started and see which snacks people want and which they never want to see again. Think it's about time to get started on a new Netflix binge as well? Well then, let's get started!
Cheetos
This cheesy snack has been a staple of many snack marathons in the US. They've also branched out into various other flavors so people can be sure that they will never get bored of this brilliant snack.
Cheez-Its
These little square crackers are bursting at the seams with cheese and seem genuinely addictive. Once people have a handful, they'll find it difficult not to keep eating them. Make sure there's a drink nearby though!
Chex Mix
This brilliant mix of savoury snacks will fill anyone up and are a great staple for snack binge. They can make the mouth a bit dry but with this selection of snacks it's impossible to complain really!
Chips Ahoy!
Ever since 1963, this company have been throwing cookies into open mouths. Obviously, the recipe has changed many times since then and has also branched out creating various types of cookie, rather than just the standard biscuit.
Combos
These are savoury snacks that come wrapped up like sweet snacks really. They're tortilla, pretzel or cracker tubes that are filled with various savoury fillings of the buyers choosing. Buy a few packs and they can be mixed and matched.
Zebra Cakes
This cake is one of the many products released by the Little Debbie company. The drizzled chocolate on top gives a nice counterpoint to the rest of the delicious filling and sponge inside! It's like having a little handheld cake.
Wheat Thins
This snack has been on the market for decades at this point and comes in a variety of different flavors. We think this brand is for the people who want to snack on something that doesn't have such an overpowering flavor.
Doritos
Quite possibly the most famous snack of all time, Doritos are available across various countries and we reckon it will be around forever at this point. We don't think there's anything they could do to ruin the legacy they've created!
Flipz Pretzels
There is nobody in this world that doesn't love chocolate covered pretzels. This sort of mixture of salt and sweet gets everyone's mouths slathering, which is why they make a great addition to any snack binge that's happening!
Twix
It may not be the fanciest chocolate bar out there, but there's definitely a reason to grab one of these when in need of a snack. For one thing, it comes with two fingers of chocolate wrapped cookie, which is a great reason!
Twinkies
This snack cake have become somewhat of a US staple, a pop culture item that manages to sell incredibly well and we imagine it always will as we continue to binge on snacks! Fluffy and tasty, people could do a lot worse than Twinkies.
Fritos
These strips of fried cornmeal are often used as dipping utensils, sort of like edible spoons really. Not only can they come in a variety of flavors, they also act brilliantly with various dips that are also sold by the company.
Fruit Roll Ups
When getting involved in a snack binge, it can be easy to get worried about the amount of bad food we put into our bodies. That's why it's always good to have these sorts of snacks to act as a bit of a placebo effect!
Funyuns
Who needs onion rings when we can have these snacks instead? This is the sort of snack that it is literally impossible to stop eating. Seriously, we're not sure that any snack has ever grabbed us like this one has if we're honest!
Haribo Gummies
This German company have been throwing their gummies out into the world for years at this point, having a presence in the US for decades. They're nice to chew on with an explosion of flavor!
Hershey's Kisses
The problem with having this amount of addictive snack food during a binge is that people can end up eating too much and feeling bad. That's why little snacks like this are always great to have because people can stop and start when they like!
Jelly Belly
One of the bad things about sweets is that they don't come in enough flavors. Jelly Belly changed all of that by releasing packets of jelly beans that come in an insane amount of flavors that everyone can enjoy when on a binge.
Kit Kats
There's no way that this product could fail with the slogan "Take a break, have a Kit Kat." This is a serious contender for the greatest marketing slogan of all time to be honest. It immediately makes people think of hot drinks and happy times.
Starburst
There's nothing better than a bit of soft taffy. Taffy can end up being a bit too much for some people and come in some unpleasant flavors, which is why Starburst came along to show everyone how it's done.
Goldfish Crackers
These are primarily known as cheese flavored crackers, but obviously the company have used their popularity over the years to move into new directions. Not only do they come in a variety of flavors, they also come in a variety of shapes and sizes.
Krispy Kreme Donuts
There's a reason that Krispy Kreme have become known for their donuts, and it's because the high flavor content really pushes their quality above other brands. Sure, they're not great for people, but the taste more than makes up for that!
M&Ms
Coming in around five main varieties, M&Ms have proven to be a popular snack of choice for most people in the US. No matter what it is someone enjoys, they can be sure that M&Ms have got them covered!
Sour Patch Kids
When someone is looking for something that is flavorsome but will also have them wincing at how sour it is, they turn to Sour Patch Kids. They're a more modern sweet, a candy for a younger generation who don't have any time for mild candy!
Ho Hos
Like a small Swiss Roll, ho hos offer a creamy experience topped off with a heavy amount of chocolate flavor bursting onto the tastebuds. Throw in the softer than soft sponge and we're looking at a great snack here.
Hostess Cupcakes
The most common form of this cupcake comprises of a chocolate cupcake with chocolate icing and a vanilla creme filling. This humble and simple snack cake has now become a staple of the US snack diet and is known around the world.
Kettle Chips
When looking for a crispier chip, people could do much worse than turning to Kettle Chips. Available in all of the best chip flavors, these are what people want when they want a fancier chip experience, something with a bit of bite to it.
Lays
We've all had them and we all know we'll be having a lot of them throughout our lifetime as well. There's nothing wrong with being the standard, nothing wrong with being a staple of the snack table. We salute you, Lays.
Ruffles
What is it about a potato chip that makes it taste better when ruffled? We're not totally sure why, but this sort of chip just tastes better to us. Maybe it's because the increased surface area allows more flavouring to get on it?! Will we ever know?
Sun Chips
Never a company to shy away from offering varieties of flavor, this sort of chip is something different. We're all used to the standard potato chip but we go for the Sun Chips when we want something a bit different.
Snyder's Pretzel Pieces
We didn't know that we needed rock hard pretzel pieces that blew our mouths off with Jalapeno flavoring until somebody brought these beauties into our lives. Seriously, this is a great snack and people eat much worse!
Oatmeal Cream Pies
Another Little Debbie treat that gives people the chance to snack on something that feels a little bit more homemade without having to actually go to the bother of buying the ingredients and making the snack themselves.
Oreos
Quite possibly the most famous cookie of all time. While it is sold across the world, it is only in the US that people can get it in such an insane variety of flavors, even being made into an ice cream sandwich for those days we want to snack in the heat.
Pita Chips
As we've already established, chips come in all shapes and sizes, but the best thing about Pita Chips is that they make the perfect dipping snack. Get whatever dip is desired and a bag of these. That is a day full of snacking.
Pringles
Once someone has had one of these, it's impossible to put the tube down and move onto a different snack. Ask anybody out there and they will say that this is a snack that truly stops other snacks from reigning supreme just because they're so addictive!
Snickers
Packing in nougat, peanuts, caramel, and chocolate, this snack really gives people value for money. It's a taste explosion of a candy bar and a perfect snack dessert. Just one is enough after people have enjoyed their savoury snack of the day.
