Several dozens of students flock to the vending machines throughout the entirety of the school day. Many students may have a hard time choosing between the prices when their favorites are out. Here are some snacks that I think are the best from variety of choices given.
- Munchies
Unsurprisingly, Munchies takes first place. The plethora of snacks available gives the mix an irresistible allure for many. With so much variety, each consumer is accounted for. Those wanting pretzels or Hot Cheetos will be happy with Munchies. The spicy flavor and the crunchiness adds an addictive aftertaste that leaves consumers wanting more. With so much jam packed in this small bag of bliss, Munchies takes its much deserved first place on this list.
- Hawaiian Sweet Maui Onion Potato Chips
It was hard to rank this over its orange counterpart but ultimately I decided that this was a better snack overall. The sweet onion taste from these chips are truly a delight. Along with the crunchy texture that hooks consumers, there is little that goes wrong in this bag. The only qualm I had with this was that some chips did not have enough flavor and were slightly bland, resulting in its second place spot.
- Hawaiian Crispy & Crunchy Luau BBQ Potato Chips
These chips are a blast of flavor that leaves a great aftertaste, tempting consumers to buy more. The savory taste and the incredible crunch complement each other perfectly in this amazing snack. The slight spicy taste brings more to this already great snack. Unlike its purple counterpart, the problem with this bag is actually the excessive flavoring the overwhelms the consumer. In some cases, the chips in this snack have too much flavoring that ends up bringing down the overall taste, resulting in this snack being third place.
- Rice Krispies Treats
With the many selections available in the vending machines, Rice Krispies unexpectedly takes fourth place in the rankings. The addictive marshmallow flavor accompanied by the crunchy Rice Krispies combine to create an incredible treat. Along with the amazing taste and texture, the treat itself is more filling than others, leaving you fulfilled after eating this tasty snack.
- Black Forest Triple Layer Fruit Snacks
Although fruit snacks may not be the most popular option in the vending machines, I believe that these particular fruit snacks deserve a spot on this list. The Triple Layer Fruit Snacks contain a blast of flavor that has just the right amount of sweetness. No flavor overwhelms the other allowing the different fruit flavors to combine together in harmony. Although there are no disadvantages to choosing the fruit snacks, the advantages are not enough to give it a better place, which leaves this snack in fifth place.
