Update! I started writing this last week but as I have been exhausted from work, fell asleep half way through writing it. Can properly finish it now I'm on Easter break. Good thing I took pics quickly. I have no willpower when it comes to snacks.

Snacks is one of the most enjoyable exchanges and it's interesting seeing what people around the world eat. I am known for my constant grazing though I'm still relatively thin so this exchange was rather perfect. I've been very lucky with this lot of exchanges, friendly SS messages and great gifts. My Snacks SS is from Virginia and we exchanged PMs about disliking Dr Pepper and American chocolate. I have promised to send her some Flakes as she is fantastic. She went all out and sent me sooo much. I'm very grateful.

One specific thing I asked for was Twinkies. I first heard about them from the Babysitters Club books I used to read as a kid. And it's got such a cute name. Well I must admit it was rather anticlimactic and they are really, really not my cup of tea. Sickly sweet.

I'm a How I Met Your Mother fan so I asked specifically for Funyuns. I inhaled them in seconds. I had tried Asian style onion rings but these are on another level. So flavourful.

In all my Googling of American snacks I hadn't come across Takis Fuegos. My goodness are these things spicy. They are really good and my tastebuds were having a party. Only for real spice lovers as not many would be able to handle them.

The pretzel bites I could live on. Very scrumptious. I immediately googled them to see where I could get some more.

The Rice Krispies bar was a nice treat. We have a similar version here but I prefer this one. And the bar is huge! Light and sweet without being sickly so.

Utz crab chips and barbecue chips were a very different. I thought I had tried just about every potato chip flavour but these surprised me. They are very strong. Good but odd tasting. I hadn't tried crab potato chips before.

My 2013 holiday card match had sent me flavoured gum. I love this stuff. Went through the apple gum and currently on the watermelon gum. Our Aus flavours are mainly limited to mint flavours. American gum has cool flavours, is a different shape but doesn't last as long.

Teddy Grahams are a bit like our Tiny Teddies but softer. I love cinnamon flavours which unfortunately aren't popular here. Very moreish cinnamon biscuits.

Moon Pies are this marshmallow and jam cake. I thought it would be like our Wagon Wheel biscuits but these are a soft cake. Quite good and different.

I haven't tried the lollies and the rest of the gum but I'm sure I will like them. She also included Godiva chocolates! They are so expensive here though much more reasonable in the US. Wow, lovely bit of luxury. I honestly didn't expect her to send them due to the price.

Thank you so, SO much to my Snacks SS. She did a fantastic job and I've been googling everything to see if I can order more.
