Sunflower Seeds<br />

Locally, we call it 'kuaci'. Gone are the days when you would<br />

see rows and rows of theatre seats and floor littered with kuaci<br />

shells. Today, sunflower seeds are commonly added as an<br />

ingredient to salads, cakes or pies.<br />

Twisties<br />

Life's pretty straight without Twisties. The tagline may not be<br />

known to many but throw us a bag of Twisties in its iconic<br />

yellow packaging, especially here in Malaysia and we'll be<br />

busy munching without even giving you a second glance. The<br />

Australian cheesy snack is almost 70 years old and comes in<br />

various flavours which include the infamous cheese, chicken<br />

as well as BBQ curry, pizza and even slightly unique flavours<br />

such as salmon teriyaki and toffee. Twisties is made primarily<br />

from milled corn, rice, wheat and water.<br />

Moon Pie<br />

They've been around for 100 years! The perfect combination<br />

of graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallow filling kicked<br />

off in 1917 when a coal miner asked a travelling salesman for<br />

a snack "as big as the moon". Chattanooga Bakery in the<br />

United States responded with a tasty treat aptly named Moon<br />

Pie and the rest is history. The pies became a household name<br />

not just in America but countries all over the world. Today,<br />

the company produces over a million Moon Pies each day!<br />

Snickers<br />

Owned by global food company, Mars Incorporated, Snickers<br />

was named after the company founder's pet horse! Layers of<br />

roasted peanuts, caramel and nougat covered in milk chocolate<br />

contribute to the tasty candy bar but peanuts are most<br />

definitely one of the star ingredients in a Snickers bar.<br />

Super Ring<br />

This particular corn-based cheese<br />

snack will have your hands shining<br />

in bright orange even before<br />

you're done finishing the snack.<br />

A Malaysian product by Oriental<br />

Food Industries Sdn Bhd, it brings<br />

back memories to many because<br />

if you’re a child at heart, the<br />

correct way to eat these rings are<br />

by slipping it like rings on each<br />

finger and later stuffing it into<br />

your mouth one by one. Also,<br />

don't be alarmed by its strong<br />

smell because you'll find a sweet<br />

yet salty cracker dissolving in your<br />

mouth by the end of it.<br />

Lay's<br />

Betcha can't eat just one. The potato crisps live<br />

up to their tagline because it is just that addictive.<br />

Here's an interesting fact: Herman Lay, the man<br />

who started it all, initially sold the packaged snacks<br />

across the United States from the trunk of his car!<br />

The crisps may have started out with BBQ, Sour<br />

Cream and Onion and the regular salted flavours<br />

but today, the lineup includes Cheesy Garlic<br />

Bread, Wasabi Ginger and Biscuits & Gravy.<br />
