4 Secrets that Snack Companies aren't Telling You

Snack companies don’t tell you everything. As a matter of fact, there’s a lot that they’re hiding from you. Before you go nuts for a snack company, take a look at these secrets that they’re keeping out of the light.

Nuts Are Just Better

Listen, when it comes to snacks, nuts are the superior choice. Chips and candies are fine, but nuts are the best. Why? Well, first of all, they have more nutrients than a potato chip or a cracker. Need more B vitamins, iron, magnesium, and other vitamins and minerals in your diet? Then you need nuts. Nuts are also more filling than other snacks. The protein and fiber content can keep you full longer, which means that you won’t have to fill up on empty calories.

You Can Say No to Boring Snacks

Of course, this doesn’t mean that your nuts can’t be tasty. Quite the opposite, actually. Nuts have so much versatility that you could eat them every day and still have new options to try. There’s a nut for everyone, and you’ll be sure to find at least one that makes you smile. Snack companies want to get you hooked on the same boring snacks so that you keep coming back for more. Actually, most snack foods are designed to be addictive. Still, you don’t have to keep coming back to stale snacks when nuts are the versatile choice.

You Can Choose Better Party Snacks

It’s always fun to whip out your nuts at parties when the potato chips are getting a little stale, you know? Who brings chips to parties? Everybody. It’s lazy. Do you know what kind of message you send when you show up at a party with nothing more than a bag of chips? You’re saying “I brought an obligatory snack because I didn’t want to be rude, but I also don’t really care.” Go ahead and put your chips with the other 15 bags. Or do something more exciting and bring out the nuts. The choice is yours.

Feel the Burn

Hey, hot stuff, can you feel the burn? Do you know someone who loves the heat? In any group, there’s always someone with dragon breath. Typically a mild-mannered person, this pepper fanatic morphs into a fire eater who claims, “That’s not hot – I add a ton of hot peppers to my chili!” We all know someone who chomps jalapeno peppers like strawberries and who opens his cupboard – is it true that it’s always a guy? – to show you his spread of hot sauces. Well, here’s the world’s hottest gift for that character: a chance to grow the world’s hottest peppers with Try My Nuts.

When ordering peppers, most packages come marked with Scoville Heat Units (SHUs) that identify the intensity of the heat. Sweet peppers get 0 SHUs...
