The seasoned pretzel sticks are also really good.
Then, salt & vinegar Crunchers by Lay's & Wasabi flavored almonds by Blue Diamond.

The Sweet Thai Chili, Sriracha, & salt & vinegar are very good.
Speaking of spicy, they make a few "extreme" varieties based on ghost, reaper, & cayenne. The first 2 are needlessly hot. The 3rd is quite hot but not ridiculous.
I like heat, but I don't want it overwhelming. I tried all 3 at a sample table at Sam's. I'd never buy them. It wasn't even enjoyable.

From the central PA “snack belt” where Snyder’s pretzels and Utz chips come from. A lot of people like the barbecue flavor but I prefer plain. These don’t need a dip to be yummy.

I usually only allow myself to buy them if I’m going to make chili, because that’s a fantastic combination. Sometimes I’ll get a craving to have them with bean dip, but mostly I eat them plain.

And if we're talking favorites then we've got to be specific and picky, right?

For sweet: dried slab Blenheim apricots (yes, the apricot variety matters)

For salty: Planters Salted Dry Roasted Peanuts (just that brand, just the full salt version -- although it's not the salt but the other ingredient changes which make the low salt or other brands frankly bad by comparison, imo)
