What's a good snack?

cstanton

The supermarkets here in the UK are filled with clementines, and for some reason I can't get enough of them, seriously, I have a pile of 5-6 bags of them and... they're gone in a couple of days, something about that sweet tangyness flavour that just hits the spot right now.

 

For some there're different categories of snacks:

 

- Sweet

- Sour

- Savoury

- Umami

- Sugary

- Gooey

- Salty

- Cold

- Hot

 

For a sweet snack, I gravitate towards Terrys Dark Chocolate Orange... (there may be a theme here), sour is usually Haribo Tangfastics! Savoury, something like Doritos, and sugary I haven't really touched on sugary for a long while, but in my advent calendar I'm getting Haribo so that counts, right?

 

Gooey can't beat a good soft cookie though.

 

What do you like?

    A yes, what is it now ?

       'tap it / unwrap it / enjoy it' ?

     

    What preferred tool do you use to 'tap it' with ?

    Perfect tool...maybe someone could build a Chocolate Orange Tapping Machine? Maybe it could use the TinyML or Arduino Nano Sense to undertake some Machine Learning to crack it perfectly, separating every segment each time? It would need a lot of tests so I'd volunteer to help in those stages of developmentimage

    The device shown is used as a sound reference for acoustic measurements in buildings.

    The joke surrounding the Terry's chocolate orange is that it used to be advertised as "just tap it, and unwrap it"

    whereas in reality after storage and transportation or just reduced quality control, it was less break apart segments and more solid chocolate ball by the time you ever received it, and it became something of a challenge to break apart to eat. 

    It therefore later featured in spoof adverts with different techniques, usually Heath Robinson/Rube Goldberg Machine contraptions to break it apart.
