Novelty Foods: November 2005 Archives

Last night I stumbled upon this amazing product at 7-11 Rap Snacks. After checking out the selection--Sour Cream & Onion, Red Hot Riplets, Sour Cream & Extra Cheddar, Platinum Bar-B-Que, Bar-B-Que with Honey and Southern Crunk Barbeque--I went with the Crunk. Each flavor promotes a certain artist, so with my selection I had YoungBloodz. The back of the bag contains some artist bio information along with the claim "The Official Snack of Hip-Hop!"

(Also, apparently they are associated with Rock Snacks, which are naturally "The Offical Snack of Rock!" The Rock Snacks web site promotes "Stay Away From Guns" "Stay Close To Rock Snacks!", "Say No To Drugs" "Say Yes To Rock Snacks!")

So how did the Southern Crunk BBQ taste? Uhh, pretty good--kind of distinctive, but not really all that great with beer. After all, what good is a snack if it doesn't go with beer?!
