Chex Mix

Another American snack! :o
This time it's Chex Mix
Why's it say Brand Snack underneath the logo?
Apparently a "bag of interesting" according to the back. Guess what else the back says? Yup, artificial crap again! Oh, how I love chemicals! :3
I got these for 15p and they're about a fortnight out of date, but hey, I'm not fussy. All the chemicals shall stop any degradation! 8D

These look kind of like an elaborate version of Cheese Savouries which we can get in this country pretty cheap.
Oh, go on then, let's open them up....
Ugh, they smell nasty.... Is that a Shreddie in there? Maybe these have been knitted by nanas too. But I guess that's better than the jumper with a reindeer on with the big, sticky out, bobbly, red nose you get every year for Christmas that you'll only wear when you go round and wear those stupid little paper hats which tear at the slightest whisper of air. There's also a ring, a window, a triangle and some wiggly thing. The circle and window shape look like the same type of thing as a pretzel. The triangles are intensely orange compared to the others.
I suppose it's time to try them, eh?
The window.... No cheese flavour at all, just a pretzel thing. And the same for the ring. How about the wiggly thing? Every so slightly cheesy, barely noticeable. Now for the shreddie. Slightly more flavour, but not really cheese flavoured. There's a slightly nutty taste But nicer than the others so far. Now for the triangle. These look like they've beaten all the other shapes into submission so it can steal their flavour. Hmm, they must've got arrested and had the flavour confiscated because there's still not a lot
Oh, hang on, a super flavour saturated shreddie... Ach! That's not a nice taste. A really funny, off-tasting "cheese" flavour.
The pretzel pieces taste kind of like breakfast cereal.
Cheddar cheese is the only cheese-looking ingredient on the list and it's 3rd from last. I don't know about the US, but I think in the UK, the ingredients are listed from most to least. If it's the same other the pond, then I'm not too sure how they can pass these as "cheddar" flavour. It should say "funny chemical, nasty fake cheese flavour" on the pack.
The range of shapes are a really good idea, there's different textures and tastes to the actual pieces, but the cheese flavouring.... No..... It's not too nice, to be honest. If the flavouring was decent, then I'd give these a maximum of 7 or 8 of ten, but other than that, I'll give them a 4

America, you ain't got nowt on our cheese savouries, bitch!
