Hobnobs and Fingers

I wandered into the pantry to find something to munch on today. I was hoping a pack of Oreos would appear before my eyes or maybe some Trader Joes Tortilla chips. Nope-no such snack of that kind.

I did however find some Fingers and Hobnobs. Upon giggling at the names I found in the pantry, I decided to fill you in on all the snack names from the store. Once I started listing them I decided you also needed a description, what good is a name without a definition?

Hula Hoops: Potato rings that kids (and some adults)love to eat because it is fun to play with your food. It is like putting potato chip rings on your fingers-similar to putting olives on your finger tips on Thanksgiving.

Quavers:"The light potato snack," a cheese flavored thin curly shaped crisp (chip)

crisps: Potato chips, only they come in all sorts of strange flavors like beef & onion, ketchup, prawn cocktail, lamb & mint (yuck!!) or our favorite-Thai sweet chili.

Wotsits: Basically they are cheetos but also come in BBQ and twisted.

Jaffa Cakes: "Light sponge cakes with dark crackly chocolate and a zingy centre" The center is either blackcurrant or orange (think Trader Joes orange sticks with a cake middle).

Hobnobs: "Nobbly oaty biscuits" also sold with a chocolate layer.

Flapjacks: No, they are not pancakes. Flapjacks are a soft and very sweet cookie/bar made of oats, sugar, butter and honey.

Fingers: Made by Cadbury, crisp biscuits covered in chocolate and shaped like fingers of course!

See why I just want some Oreos?
