Favorite Salty Snax?

[Lise]

I am jonesn' for salt, I think. I completely forgot to pick up salty snax at the grocery store, and I'm stuck with sweet stuff at home. All of which I rejected. I ate some string cheese. Slightly salty. Soooooo...what's your favorite salty treat?

If calories and fat were no concern, I'd eat Bugles and Fritos all the time.

I love Payday bars, great salt/sweet combo.

Pretzels are my general low fat stand-in.

You? L.

Oh yeah...Bugles! And Pringles chips! And popcorn with salted butter and extra salt. And smoked salmon. Oh man....

heh...is a margarita with a salty rim considered a snack?

It should be. Hey, why isn't there an electrolyte drink flavor of salty margarita? You could sweeten it with agave nectar.

I usually stick to low sodium ~ but on a ride I find myself craving Lay's Potato Chips in a bad way.

In general, an evil salty snack would be Gardetto's, particularly the rye crisps... mmmm - msg haven /drool

Do you know you can get a bag of nothing but the rye crisps? Thanks, for setting off a craving.

Ack! Separated at birth! This is EXACTLY how I would have answered!

I have to STAY AWAY from the Lay's or I'll eat every last crumb.

I would definitely try an alcohol-free margarita-flavored Gatorade!

Me too. But I would spike it!

I'll take potato chips anyday, anytime. Lay's, Ruffles, Old Dutch...anything but the baked. Evil thread. Gotta run and wipe up the drool!

I like sunflower seeds. I cheat and get them already shelled. Popcorn is always good. We have a Whirly-pop - makes the best popcorn in the world - then top it with popcorn salt.

I HAVE to have chocolate as a chaser if I eat something salty. Lise - you might like Hershey's Take a5 candy bar. It's pretzel, caramel, peanut buttery stuff all coated in chocolate. They kind of grow on you.

Vegemite and cheese sandwiches are good, especially toasted. I know some of you might not agree with me on this one, but Road Raven will back me up.

I'm quite partial to chips (or even rice crackers) and dip.

My very favourite salty snack is barbeque flavoured Arnott's Shapes.

Ill back you up - I love toasted Vegemite and cheese sandwiches they rock.
I also like Arnott's shapes. Guess I know whose cupboard to raid if I visit the UK and have the munchies.

OK, inspired by you all, I got me some salty snax at the LGS.

Pretzels: the old standby. Always good. I love to dip them in plain yogurt. Salt + sour + protein. Yum.

Eatsmart Zesty Ranch Baked Potato Crisps: Blech. Not zesty at all. Potato? Really? Not salty enough. Worth a try, but I don't recommend them.

Genisoy Soy Crisps: I got three kinds--salt, cheese, BBQ. I've tried the cheese & BBQ. Kind of sweet for my taste, but they'll do. I hope I like the salt ones best.

I should've gotten some low-fat Pringles. Those are good. What I really want, of course, is the high fat corn chips in all of their varieties. But I also don't want anyone to yell "FREE WILLY!" when I come out of the water at my next triathlon...

Sometime I've got to try vegemite. My favorite toasted cheese is sharp cheddar with dijon mustard and tomato slices. YUM!

That's the salty snax update for today. L.

I have plenty of Vegemite, so the toasties we can arrange. The Arnott's Shapes, however, require a special trip to the Kiwi/Aussie/Saffa shop. That reminds me... I forgot to mention Twisties (kinda like cheezits, but better), Rashuns (same sort of thing, but cheese and bacon flavour) and Burger Rings (defy explanation ).
