Nacho Chips (Doritos): In all their infinite varieties, my school's machine still only carries the Nacho Cheesier and Cooler Ranch varieties. They taste good enough, but it's the flavor names that get me. I'm old enough to remember Nacho Cheese and Cool Ranch Doritos, but what about the younger generations? They'll be left wondering "Nacho Cheesier than what?" - B-Potato Chips: - Lore touched on these before, and I have nothing to add, except that Cheddar and Sour Cream chips are close to heaven. - A for Cheddar and Sour Cream, D- for BBQ, C for the rest. Pretzels: The wimpiest snack, in the machine, except for maybe the Cheez-Its. If you buy the Preztels, it's like saying "Yes, I would rather eat dry, salty, starchy mockeries of the real pretzel than feast on something more fulfilling to my inner grease-a-holic." Wuss. - C- Candies: Twix, Skittles, Caramel Creams, and other sugary goodies are now availble for ready consumption, just when you need it. I will say that there's enough to support everyone's taste here. Snice comments are useless. All I can say is A+ Pop-Tarts: Pop-Tarts are the quintesential anti-breakfast breakfast, but sticking them in a Snack Machine makes little sense to me. First off, I prefer my Pop-Tarts toasted. Warm gooey strawberry filling is good any time of day. The second problem is that the machines I frequent almost always sell the icky Cinnimon flavored Pop-Tarts. Pass. - C Gum: Excuse me? These are your stereotypical 5 stick packs that you can get for a quarter at any reputable convenience store (and many disreputable ones). Why the hell should I cough up 65 cents for 5 sticks of gum that's sat there for two years or more. Logic, people, logic! - D ------------------

If I for some reason want to eat a pop-tart, which I think has only happened 3 times in my entire life, it has to be of the un-frosted brown sugar and cinnamon variety.IP: Logged |

You are the anti-me. Those are the very least appealing of all the poptart species. They combine the mouth-drying quality of lack of frosting with the bland disappointment of brown sugar (and, they claim, cinnamon. Though I've never seen evidence of it being in there). I do like poptarts, but they must be frosted. My favorite is blueberry. But I was also fond of the short-lived pokemon flavor (which is surprisingly like strawberry, only with yellow frosting).

Discoveries made during Poptart purchasing craving frenzy last week: The local Very Large Intimidating "Grocery" Store, The Kind Where "Groceries" Include Rocking Chairs And Car Parts, carries only generic "Toaster Pastries". And them? Only in Crazed Ass Berry Flavour With Blue Icing And Packets Of More Sugary Edible Oil Products To Go On Top.Ewwwwwwwww. D+ because in the end they had to be bought anyway, and well, at 6:45 in the morning blue icing is just blurry sugary goodness anyway. IP: Logged |

The oddest time I ever got Pop-Tarts was as a giveaway at the PA-FBLA State Conference. Someone was running for State Office and had some christmas theme for their campaign. She gave out Pop-Tarts among other goodies.The next day, I opened them and discovered to my horror that they were Christmas Pop-Tarts... 4 month old Christmas Pop-Tarts. I threw them away, and voted for her opponent. IP: Logged |

Andy Capp's French Fries: French fry equivalent of Tato Skins. Probably not even real potatos. D for Salsa, A for rest."Lard Pies": Little "turnover" dealies with some kind of fruit stuff on the inside. Icing on the outside. Contains lard, therefore A+++++. Willy Wonka Xploder: Chocolate with poprocks in it. That's all that needs to be said. A+++++. Willy Wonka Oompahs: Like Skittles but bigger and softer. B+ for name, F because they're like skittles.

Kit-Kat Big Kat: Imagine a gigantic stick of a Kit-Kat bar, and you get the Big Kat. Nothing more, nothing less. Really kinda dissapointing. C until the novelty wears off, then D+.Chewy Gobstoppers: I love chewy. I love jawbreakers. Put them together, and you get one good candy. They taste almost the same as the regular gobstoppers, and they don't have that sweetart texture in the center (not a sweetart fan). B+ IP: Logged |

Those sour sugared worm things: These are good. They're chewy, they're sugary, they're sour, and they come in different colours. Where's the bad? Even if you have to buy three bags for the machine to work, these deserve a B+
(Oh, and those pop rock/chocolate bars are delicious.)IP: Logged |
