Once You Pop These Snacks, You Can't Stop
Popcorn, Doritos, Pringles—there are so many snacks that make portion control impossible. Whether you're watching a movie or snacking after a long day, there's no chance you can only eat a handful of trail mix. Here are 20 snacks that are hard to resist once you start eating them.
1. Potato Chips
Potato chips might be the most addictive snack on grocery store shelves. They're salty, crunchy, and you can gorge on your favorite flavors. The variety also makes them hard to avoid. It doesn't matter if you love sour cream and onion, barbecue, or spicy flavored chips. You can easily polish off a bag in one sitting.
2. Pretzels
There's a reason bars serve a bowl of complimentary pretzels. This beloved snack is crunchy and salty, making it easy to overindulge in. They're also relatively light compared to potato chips.
3. Popcorn
A freshly-popped bag of popcorn is a dangerous thing. It's highly addictive, especially when you add butter and seasoning. Popcorn has a fluffy, airy texture that makes you feel like you're not eating too much. This deception is why they are impossible to stop eating, even when you're halfway down the bag.
4. Chex Mix
The variety in Chex Mix makes it a joy to eat. There's nicely seasoned crispy cereal squares, salty pretzels and crunchy little breadsticks. Your palette won't know what's coming next as Chex Mix was created for endless snacking.
5. Goldfish Crackers
Goldfish crackers are a popular snack for kids, but adults also have a hard time eating only a few. They're cheesy, salty, and crunchy, and are somehow more fun to eat than your average cracker. The mild cheddar flavor combines perfectly with their small size and crispy texture to make something truly delightful.
6. Doritos
You don't have to be a college student living in a dorm room to enjoy a bag of Doritos. They offer bold flavors like Cool Ranch, and each delivers a salty bite. The best part is how the seasoning sticks to your fingers, so you keep licking as you reach for another one.
7. Cheese Puffs
A cheese puff melts in your mouth, convincing you that you didn't eat too much. Their airy texture and intense flavor keep you reaching into the bag for more. It's the lightness and bold taste that make cheese puffs hard to stop eating.
8. Trail Mix
A bag of trail mix contains a mix of sweet, salty, and crunchy snacks. A typical trail mix has dried fruit, nuts, chocolate, pretzels, and sometimes even granola clusters. Every handful is delicious and the variety of flavors keeps it engaging.
9. Cheese and Crackers
The simplicity of cheese and crackers has made it an enduring snack for generations. The stackable design and the flexibility to mix and match different types of cheese and crackers make it tough not to indulge in way too many.

10. Pringles
The Pringles slogan is maybe the most honest one of all time: "Once you pop, you can't stop". Pringles have a uniform shape that's unique and loads of seasoning that make every bite an irresistible treat. Seriously, once you pop, you will not be able to stop.
11. Chocolate-Covered Pretzels
There was never any doubt that the marriage of salty pretzels and sweet chocolate wouldn't be a total hit. They're small enough to eat in handfuls, and the contrasting flavours are addictive.
12. Ritz Crackers
Ritz is one of the best crackers of all time. There's nothing quite like its buttery and flaky texture and salty taste. They are even better when you spread some cream cheese on them and then top with a slice of tomato or jalapeno.
13. Caramel Popcorn
Caramel popcorn does the unthinkable and elevates the deliciousness of regular popcorn. Its sweet saltiness makes it easy to eat bag after bag. The crunch doesn't help either.
14. Mixed Nuts
A bowl of mixed nuts might seem innocent, but it'll be gone before you know it. Each handful offers different flavors and crunch, and tons of salt. You never know if you're going to get a cashew, macadamia nut, or almond, but it doesn't matter. Each one is delicious.
15. Granola Clusters
Granola clusters don't get enough recognition for how good they are. Each cluster is sweet, crunchy, and often contains seeds, nuts, or dried fruit. You can eat them straight from the bag or as a delicious yogurt topping.

16. Honey-Roasted Peanuts
Honey-roasted peanuts achieve the sweet and salty balance that many snacks aim for. The honey provides a caramelized crunch that makes them addictive, especially when compared to plain peanuts. Their bold flavor is the icing on the cake
17. Cheez-Its
Snack lovers who crave cheese love Cheez-Its. They offer a strong, appealing, and tangy flavor and a delightful crispness. They're cheesy and salty and have a toasted finish that elevates each bite. Trust us, if you open a box, you won't be able to only eat one, or two, or ten.
18. Peanut M&M's
Who doesn't love a big bowl of Peanut M&M's? They have a crispy exterior, a peanut crunch, and chocolate sweetness. They're small enough to keep popping into your mouth, and the mix of textures and flavors is satisfying
19. Pita Chips
Pita chips don't get enough love, but they are one of the best snacks on the market. They might be more addictive than potato chips, as they are thicker and crunchier. They're a hearty snack that pairs well with guacamole or hummus.
20. Beef Jerky
Beef Jerky is an acquired taste, but that doesn't mean that you'll only be able to eat a strip or two. It's chewy, salty, and packed with umami. The texture allows you to savor each bite, and the seasoning makes each bite memorable.
