 Snaps are a boring product.

Too much packaging

I agree that they're boring, after eyeing them up many
times, I succumbed and bought a pack. They're too
thin, even with 3 at a time they're not satisfying. I'll
stick to Pringles in that shape.

They taste quite nice but the concept is boring.

Hershey's has done a similar thing by making Swoops except it's packaged differently. Instead of a huge tube, they put a portion of 6 swoops into a proportionate container and each package has three of these little containers.

They come in these flavours:

And the single packs look like this:

I agree, snaps are boring, but the coconut flavour is at least tolerable - avoid the mint and honeycomb ones.

Loulou - talking of eating habits, have you tried
eating Maltesers, Minstrels and Mini Eggs in either
5's (2 either side of your mouth, 1 in the middle) or
3's (1 either side of your mouth, 1 in the middle). My
friends think I'm weird for doing this but don't knock it
until you've experienced the taste of the last melted
one in your mouth......

You missed the other night when i was telling robbie I had 37 maltesers in my mouth at once and he wanted me to take a pic. Well I couldn't cos I looked like a hamster. I think I'll have to have a back tooth removed before I hit my target of 40.

Now there's a challenge. I'm gonna buy a box
tomorrow and see how many I can fit in my mouth.
Do they all have to be undissolved or is it just a
matter of not swallowing even dissolved ones?
Death by Maltesers!

They have to stay whole. Try picking all the little ones out the box.

I have just tried my first packet of Snaps and they are really nice.
Very moreish. I only had the options of milk chocolate or orange. I
chose milk chocolate, I thought I could work my way up through the
flavours. Very nice, my boss had a good handful of them when I came
back to the office.



I do not like the packageing though. I opened them and the packet was the wrong way round so half of them ended up on my best

*desk not best!!

But when you open them they are sealed in foil. Once opened I leave
part of the tray out of the box so I know which side is up. Mind you I
have only ever had Snaps about 3 times, not a big fan.

Well I opened the cupboard tube, lifted the foil package out of the
tube slighty, opened that and then pulled the tray out.....next thing I
knew they were all over my desk! I am not a Snaps pro yet!

Chocchick just open them over your mouth so if they fall out they fall into the right place
