About World Snacks
World Snacks is a smol snack review site made by Melanie Richards. I made this partially to play around with headless CMSes, and partially so that I could remember what I thought of fun treats from outside the U.S.
Some of the reviews are for snacks I’m trying out in real-time, while others are what I remember from previous travels or purchases closer to home. Some countries (ahem, Japan) tend to be over-represented, often because of what’s most available to me. I am excited to try out snacks from around the world, so if there’s something I’m missing out on, please send me a suggestion!
A few notes on the criteria I’m using before I review a snack:
It must originate from, or be primarily sold, outside the United States.
It must come pre-packaged: no lovingly hand crafted goodies here, though I love them!
The food item must be primarily eaten as or with a snack.
Happy snacking!
