wasabi peas - best snack food in the history of snack foods?

I go back and forth b/w wasabi peas & popcorn on this issue.

popcorn

i get sick of wasabi peas REALLY fast

plus they're more fattening!

yeah, but u have to eat them slower (& so you presumably eat fewer?) or u get OVERWHELMING WASABI SINUS FREAKOUT

love wasabi peas.

wasabi peanuts are kind of even better

wasabi instead of bbq sauce or bbq sauce instead of wasabi? ~hmm~

I like wasabi peas as much as the next guy, but my vote for the perfect snack food is seasoned roasted nori. This is a lot like the roasted nori sheets used to in sushi, but with soy sauce, sugar, & chili, cut to approx 1.5 x 3.5 inch size, and packaged 5 per in cellophane packets, with 100 or so of these packets being the sales unit.

The nice thing about these is the packaging inhibits overindulgence for the salt, and calories are negligible compared to just about any other salty snack.

those also go stale within approximately .5 seconds of opening the bag, and they leave nori dust everywhere ;_;

Not so much stale, as they absorb ambient moisture almost instantaneously, which is why each "portion" is so small. I consider 4-5 packets/20-25 of the little sheets to be the normal serving size. The nori dust isn't much of a problem with the brand I normally get, but some of the Korean variants I've tried are oily, and if I could read the package, I'd probably conclude they were never intended as hand snacks but instead as steamed rice wrappers.

Wasabi peas with: avocado, leafy greens, edamame, jalapeno dressing.

they get stale inside the packaging too ime xp

Was so disappointed when I found out the majority of "wasabi" is just dyed horseradish :( Still love it tho.

Authentic wasabi isn't that hard to find via mail order, but I found I actually liked the cheap thrill of the fake stuff (horseradish + mustard) a bit more.

wasabi peanuts killing it atm

wasabi broad beans > wasabi peas > wasabi pringles

but tbh it's all awesome

i don't know why i missed this thread the first time around, but yes, they ARE the best snack of all time!

so addicted for life, never want to change

I love/hate them, but they're still (at best) about 34% fat, and who can eat just one 1/3 cup serving (80 cals). I'll stick with Edamane for my salty afternoon indulgence (about the same fat composition). Nuking them, salting them, rearranging them on the plate, slowly eating from the pods, and then piling the husks into curious temporary architecture is such a beautiful, simple pleasure.

secret here is to not know some bullshit about fat content and serving sizes

A top GIS for "empty edamane pod". He looked so cute surrounded by green beans:

^admittedly, I could be amused by pocket lint.

i'm just saying...

still side with the broad beans but good wasabi peas are like secret bonus level of snackery

<3 them

wasabi almonds are amazing too.

!!!

must find and consume

wasabi and soy almonds are amazing

Almonds are my favorite nut so I really don't see how this could be anything other than amazing.

well if they were poisoned

had to stop buying these at my previous job because the little plastic containers were piling up on my desk to the point where i could construct walls and bridges and whatnot out of them

yeah almonds have some link to prussic acid iirc?

i am eating these!
for once i just went ahead and bought a big thing of them instead of fishing them out of the rice snack mix
wasabi peas!!!!
