The Chronic Consumer

Back when I was in high school, I used to eat Gardetto’s Snack Mix all the time. It was called Snack-Ens at the time, but it was exactly the same product as today’s Snack Mix.

Anyway, I recently started eating Gardetto’s Snack Mix again after not touching the stuff for over a decade. Let me tell you, this is definitely a unique taste that’s great to enjoy every once in a while!

The snack mix consists of pretzel twists, pretzel sticks, mini bread sticks, mini sesame sticks, and rye chips, all baked with a terrifically tasty seasoning. The result is a crunchy, delicious, wholly satisfying snack.

The only problem with Gardetto’s Snack Mix is that it’s high in both calories and fat. A single serve bag of just 49g will set you back 240 calories and a whopping 10g of fat. That’s quite a bit for such a small amount of food! After reading the nutrition information, I have to admit that I reach for Gardetto’s less and less often. There are just too many other healthy alternatives out there. But this is definitely great for a once-in-a-while treat. I simply can’t give it up for 15 years again!
