About This Quiz
From the time that snacks were created, they played a major role in our society. What was once something to keep you satiated between meals has now become a meal itself. Today, some people still use the occasional snack as a pick-me-up, while there are those who struggle with overindulging on these treats. Whether your craving is for salty or sweet, there's something in the snacking world to induce your cravings.
Every country creates their own snacks, and Britain is no exception. British snacks are known for being higher up on the weirdness scale than some American treats, not only because of the names of the products, but also because of the flavor combinations.
With transatlantic travel and the creation of websites like Amazon, it is becoming increasingly easier to get these snacks delivered to different countries around the world. Snacks like flakes, aeroes, Kinder surprise eggs, Walker's crisps, wine gummies and mini cheddars can now be shipped abroad, but they remain British.
