They're also incredibly bad for you. They're like drinking oil with a little bit of crushed flour and salt mixed in.
Which is also what makes them super delicious. Fat, crunch, Umami, salt. Most snacks also have sugar added even if they're not "sweet".
I truly find them disgusting. This is really starting to seem like astroturfing. I'm borderline about pulling it.
Dude, what? I am not a shill for Big Junk Food. I'm pointing out how companies make the stuff hyperpalatable to get people to eat more of it. It's unfortunately contributing to the obesity epidemic and not good for people.
To be clear, I don't think OP is astroturfing. Wasn't sure about you and you're obviously not. I like having this stay up to explain it all though and I have to test it.
I was wrong and it doesn't seem to be astroturfing. Cool.
