What's your snack?

Mini pretzels or pretzel sticks. Anything salty in general.
What are your feelings on "rod" pretzels? They're my surrogate cigars!
I love goldfish crackers. I can go through one of the gigantic boxes in about three days.
The rainbow ones are my favorite. I put the green and red ones together and the mustard with the purple ones and then feast.

Twizzlers. Put them in the fridge so they're cold and hard and then keep your hands and feet away from my mouth.

Thread Ressurection
I spoke about lobsters in another thread recently bought at Costco, but they also seem to have food items not likely found at the local grocery store. Last time in there I noticed bags of mangos and plastic boxes (approx 7x7x6") of kiwis which holds quite a few (maybe 20) and was only $7. I've eaten kiwis as part of salads before and like them. In another move to appease my sweet tooth, and cut back on sweets, I decided to take a chance on them being a good snack food and hmm, there are. I was surprised to see these kiwis are a domestic product grown in California.

My ultimate weakness.
But I also enjoy some good potato chips, and I'm a sucker for miniature brownies.
Though mostly, it's bananas and apples. Trying to stay from that other stuff.
EDIT: Also almost forgot: Otis Spunkmeyer Chocolate Chocolate Chip muffins. I go through five or six of these a day.
^ I would go through a few of those a day myself.
Work days:
If I do snack, either those veggie chips (I think the name is brand name terra-cotta), nuts or chocolate something.
At home:
Whatever is around, but usually almond butter and an apple. I am glad we do not keep those blue corn sesame chips around much because I polish off a whole bag in one sitting.
I might try to make some date pinwheels this week. During the Christmas season, I also love Welch cookies, large white cookies with currents in them. That's why I need grapes and kiwis to offset the naughtiness.
The pizza ones are by far the best.Original Goldfish--any time of day. Yesterday I was eating them at 1 A.M.
It depends on the context of where I am, and what I am drinking.
In general, I prefer savoury snacks to sweet ones, and have been known to demolish a dish of anchovy olives in one, swift sitting.
Olives, - all olives, but anchovy olives have me swooning in savage delight - little squares of hard, or soft, or blue, or any, cheese, (cocktail sticks are wonderful), are all exceedingly welcome on any plate destined for me.
Likewise, peanuts, cashew nuts, pistachio nuts, what we call crisps (what Our Transatlantic Cousins refer to as 'chips'), all go well with both wine and beer, and I am most partial to them.
With tea, or coffee, dried fruit, of biscuits that hit that sweet and salty 'sweet spot' (such as shortbread). Again, on the matter of sweets, (that which Our Transatlantic Cousins refer to as 'candies) my tastes are not so much sweet as that 'sweet spot' of sweets and salty; thus, I love butterscotch, and salted caramel. And dark chocolate.
And dried fruit, especially anything with apricot, or mangoes, though dates, figs, and prunes, are all more than welcome too.

Also like their other flavors.
Unfortunately, I lack the impulse control to eat them responsibly, so I rarely buy it.
And by "rarely," I mean I've been clean for a week'ish...

Please define what you mean by the intriguing term - "eat responsibly" in a thread dedicated to 'snacks'.
The introduction of this concept to this thread strikes me as something of a paradox. But a fascinating one I am eager to see explored further.
Hefeweizen
Ah, yes, but what do you like to have as an accompaniment with that "Hefeweizen"?
As a student, I recall having been incredibly impressed when I first laid eyes on a weizenbier - that tall, elegant glass, invariably served with a slice of lemon.
I think it's heavy enough to have as a snack, I mean it almost need chewed.
Well, I'm sure some nuts might go well, or a platter of olives, cheeses and charcuterie, such as salami, and such.
Nevertheless, agree that it is an excellent beer, especially in summer. I always rather liked the Hefeweizen version myself.
