"Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith pick the best American snacks" -- but those aren't the best

[Anonymous]

Some of the choices, such as Oreos, need to be there, but others . . .

Cool Ranch Doritos are not the best Doritos (that would be the Sweet Chili ones) nor the classic choice (that would be Nacho Cheese)

Orange Cheezits are the classic, but the white cheddar ones are better

Cheeseballs from the giant tub are not the definitive cheeseball

What else did they get wrong?

Hilarious. I thought they did well. So funny on the Reese's. I just had Cool ranch doritos at lunch, they are delicious.

Now I really want a british snickers.

That was fun.
Can we talk about the Great American Baking Show? I just finished watching. It was disappointing. Seemed flat and awkward. I thought the hosts were abysmal (and so loud! Why did they insist on shouting the entire time?) while I thought the finalists were decent, overall the bakers were not terribly impressive. And there were so few episodes, it made it hard to really get a sense of them.
Anyway, I expected a lot more. Anyone else have an opinion?

I don't like any Doritos and recently had an Oreo for the first time in over a decade (possibly two?) and didn't think it was that good at all. I wouldn't have one again if they were at a party, and definitely wouldn't pay money for them. Cheese-Its? Eh, they're okay. Anything with Hershey or Mars chocolate is crap.

I'd say one of the best snacks is Trader Joe's or Costco's Kirkland peanut butter pretzels.

My favorite mass-produced american snack is Triscuits.

Although Nacho Cheese Doritos are pretty good too.

OK, but you need to think in terms of stuff everyone has access to. What did you love as a kid? What do you buy on road trips? (I have a feeling you're going to be a killjoy, but I'm giving you a chance)

Cape Cod potato chips and not the low fat ones, those are a travesty.

I want to answer as the killjoy, "celery sticks with fresh ground sun butter. Local organic small batch chocolate bars. If forced to stop at a convenience store, unsweetened tea and tic tacs."
