If you go to Target, you HAVE to buy Nutella ice cream! It's super sweet, and cracking the chocolate top is so fun and delicious...

Side by Side Comparison - Twigz from Canada vs Dot's from the US.

I sit here in the courtyard by Marriott maple hill Pennsylvania on a work trip. Bored and wondering what to do my evening. I have to be presentable tomorrow so the hotel bar is off the tables, so what better way to do it then eat garbage. Wawa's provides me with my favorite snack. Pretzels. I realize these are the same as my favorite air canada snack, Twigz I quickly realize i still have the Canadian equivalent in my bag. Its time to compare.

Quick notes, the small bag is an AC exclusive. The TWIGZ you buy in the store, are bigger and more of a direct visual look to the Dot's. I assume this is for space reasons. These things are absolutely deadly, and Air Canada adding them to the line up is one of their best decisions. I fly air Canada a ton and I will eat mutiple bags every trip.

At a glance, size differences aside, visually they are similar. Its tough to say what the main difference but the flavoring on the TWIGZ looks more pronounced. The twisting/rifling of the stick is also pretty even. It would be hard to tell them apart if they were the same length.

Nutritional facts point toward the TWIGZ being a little "better". There is less salt and fats. I wonder if this impacts the flavor.

It does. Immediately I can tell that the Dot's version is saltier. And has a slightly "deeper" taste. That being said, the TWIGZ have a more pronounced garlic. The actual advertised flavor is better on the twigz, but the salt and fat come out more on the Dot's.

Texture wise, the dot's have a much better crunch. The TWIGZ are softer, maybe that was the plane, but its very distinct.

All in all, they are extremely compatible, and accomplish the same job. If you like crunchier and saltier, the dot's win. If you like softer and a better advertised flavor, get the twigz. Or, get the one avaliable if your country because from what I can tell, they dont cross the borders. This may be the world's first consumer based dirct comparison.

Thank you for coming to my pretzel talk.

Any good dupes?

These right here, were my favorite pretzel of all times. I grew up on them. Two months ago I got my braces off after having them for two years and have been HUNTING for these. If you haven’t heard, Frito-Lay discontinued these pretzels 7 months ago. Does anyone know any good dupes? Or similar enough? I loved these because they were cheesy and slightly spicy. I just miss my favorite pretzels :(

Yeah.. I had to go get 2 more bags 😂 And I swear I'm done after these because this cannot be healthy lol!

Bought these at Pit Stop gas station in NC. They have chickens in the parking lot. They also sell bags at the grocery store called IGA. Man these are good! Soft and crispy, with a BBQ salt & pepper taste. It literally tastes like fried chicken. Excellent.. Brilliant!

Pumpkin Roll cookies

Walmart brand pumpkin roll oreos are actually pretty good. Not too overpowering. I dont think I'll sit down and finish the whole pack but they'd be nice at a pot luck or office meeting. They didnt skimp on the filling either.

Got two fruit by the foot rolls in one pouch

How rare is this? Should I report this to the company and hopefully get a free box of foot rolls?

These taste AMAZING!!!

Double chocolate cakesters are the b💣mb. Really yummy. I have eaten the original with the white stuff before, and as a chocolate lover, these ones take the spot of the best cakesters! I’d recommend trying them, that is if you’re into chocolate.

Help me!

I was recently at the hospital and was given a bag of Cape Cod kettle chips to eat as a snack. As someone who normally eat lays potato chips and Doritos, I was extremely pleasantly surprised at how good the kettle chips were due to how dark they were (like well done homemade fries), and how perfectly salted they were. After going to Walmart and getting my own bag of (“classic”) Cape Cod, I was not nearly as thrilled and the chips weren’t nearly as dark or salty as the bag that I got in the hospital and I have been searching for a kettle chip like them ever since. Is anyone aware of any brands that cook very dark, thick sliced and salty potato/kettle chips that are reminiscent of what I described of my experience at the hospital.

PS. Could they have given me the “Dark Russets” and I only noticed the brand and not the flavor? Only apprehension is I remember the bag to have been white, not brown.
