American Snacks Are Loved The World Over

Americans arguably are the snacking experts of the western world. Watch any U.S. show and you’ll see kitchens bursting with all the American brands that have become synonymous with the country. Although this blog is focusing on snacks from the U.S.A. is must be noted that us Aussies adore our snacks too. So, when we can get our hands and teeth onto something new and exciting, it’s a time for celebration!

American snacks, much like Australian lollies and snacks, are all those tasty and generally sweet or savoury foods that most of the time do not constitute a part of a meal. Snacks such as Jolly Rancher Candy and popping candy tend to be very popular in the U.S. Although a lot of these snacks are sweet, it must be said that lots are spicy too such as potato chips and salted peanuts. So, no matter whether your tastes are sweet or savoury, there is plenty for you to try here in our online store.

Let’s take a look at some enduringly popular U.S. snacks so we can find out more about them:

Cinnamon Toast Crunch

Although Cinnamon Toast Crunch is marketed as a kids’ cereal, adults adore it too. Since it was first produced back in 1984, it has been a real favourite of people the world over. Cinnamon Toast Crunch was created to mimic the taste of cinnamon toast. When you pour milk over a bowl of these amazing tasty squares, you can actually hear them ‘snap!’ Why not order some so you can try the cereal for yourself?

Oreos

Everyone knows and loves an Oreo! First produced in 1912, Oreos are the biggest selling cookie in the whole of the U.S.A. Over the years there have been various limited edition runs of the cookies.

How the Demand for Sugar-Free is Destroying Real Chocolate

Being health conscious is something that’s on everyone’s minds nowadays. However, with so much conflicting information about what’s good for us and what’s bad, it’s no wonder that we’re all wondering what foods really are best for us. For example, chocolate is supposed to prevent heart attacks. Well, at least the cacao is…but what about all that sugar in Australian chocolate?

All the research into chocolate is sponsored by huge corporations who only have their own agendas in mind. Even the doctors are on commission. Big pharma is coming up with brand new diseases and issues every day as the media hangs on their every report. And, while all this is happening, consumers are confused as they struggle to be healthy. We’re becoming sicker than ever before as a result!
