You nailed it, Anna. Gawd, I miss that shizz. I used to eat Chex Mix in order of least-loved. The followers, then the princesses and squares, the broken and the partiers, then me and my besties. It's what I call "an activity snack". There is a sense of order and purpose and...the next thing you know, you're at the bottom of the bag. xo

BWAHA!! I see what you did there at the end. I really didn't have a favorite, shockingly, but I do still like to eat these. I prefer these over trail mix.

I like the taste of the partier. I don't eat much chex mix but maybe I should. I like it when people add things... like m&ms. I'm not sure who they are but they're tasty.

Lonely Island sang it best (Dreamgirl)-

"Chex Mix number one food snack in the land

It's the cereal taste that you eat with your hand

Chex Mix at your local grocer buy your box

Your family will all say

CHEX MIX ROCKS!

Chex Mix, your the snack for me, your the only one

I'll ever eat... or buy...

Chex Mix your delicious, you got 60% less fat than potato chips"

Re: starting again with a new mixed bag: I wonder what you would say if you switched to granola -- maybe with cranberries?

Triple the rye crisps, half the pretzels, and zero followers. The Chex themselves are the palate cleansers for more rye crisps. I would also like to know what your feelings are about the BOLD chex mix. Personally, it's a bit of an assault, but I end up eating less, so net net it's better satisfaction. All the flavor with half of the "Oh no, I just ate a massive bag of Chex Mix". Which usually happens when I buy it at a convenience store on a road trip, which is 92% of my Chex Mix experieces.
