Also... Rice cakes.
Rice cakes, rice snacks, or whatever you want to call them, baffle me.
I came home to a bag of them on my counter. As anyone in my position, in discovery of a new snack I pilfered some. Strange but tasty. As rice cakes tend to be.
I actually enjoy a cracker or potato chip mostly for it's crunch, I believe. Taste is secondary but still highly important. For snacking purposes these classify that which is my preferred junk food.
I was introduced to rice cake like snacks long ago, when my mother decided she'd diet and needed a low calorie snack. But I would not be blown away by the tasty treat until much later.
Now rice cakes are not exactly what I would call a delicious food. Tasty though they are, the hold what must be a dark secret.
They are never amazing by themselves, but without aid are tasty enough to bring a consumer back, if at least only to the original back or box. They contain as much or more crunch than most other snack treats, in spite of their weight. And often they have half or less the nutritional value, despite their dimensions. Less than half of the bad and the good.
This particular bag had less calories and sodium and no fat for comparable amount of a chip bag I found near by. However it had 2% the daily required amount of calcium. (This is a curious fact because Vitamin D, which is a fat soluble vitamin, is required to maximize your absorption of Calcium. Neither of which were present. DUN DUN DUN)
If the inside didn't resemble the texture of styrafoam I'd say it must be a healthy alternative to normal snackage factor. However, the mysteries still plague me and prevent my acceptance of these deceptively tasty packing peanut-esk objects from being snack preferred numero uno.
