I remember having this discussion during the fan 960 snack bracket a few years ago. I said the same thing, those things are just insanely salty now, did not enjoy them the last few times I tried them

This is madness. Cheezies still rule. Pop a couple Cheezies and while chewing take a bite of Teriyaki beef jerky. Best snack ever.

I hate to admit this, but I had literally this exact combination as a snack last night. Didn't find the Hawkins overly salty.

I bought a small bag of Hawkins Cheezies last week and was wondering if my taste buds have changed over the years, definitely seemed more salty.

Hawkins Cheezies haven’t changed.

The last time we had this conversation (and I agree they've gotten a lot saltier, used to be my go-to snack) someone said that they were the last hold out to trans fats but eventually had to change the recipe which is why they taste different.

Must have been what happened to Stoned Wheat Thins about seven or so years ago. Used to be the best cracker ever and now they're pretty meh.

How many of you who think Cheezies aren’t salt bombs are smokers? Maybe your tastebuds are shot.

I actually do roll everywhere with a prop cigarette in my mouth these days, though. But surely that wouldn't affect my taste buds.

These are the ones I use. Have one in my house, one at my desk at work, one in my car and one in my wife's car. Been doing it for about seven or eight months. It's like an adult soother in a way. Feels kind of cool to have it hanging off my lip, looks super bad ass, and I guess I like having something to fiddle with. Didn't go over well at first to people around me, but now I'm pretty sure no one really notices.

Hold on, you walk around with a “prop” cigarette?

Like a fake one? Just for the look?

It’s the Oppenheimer look. Super popular right now.

When I did a stint as an extra on Fargo they asked if I’d willing to smoke for a scene and they gave me these fake cigarettes that actually light up and give off a good amount of smoke, but don’t taste or smell like anything. That might be a better effect for the vibe Sliver is trying to give off.

An extra on Fargo? Riding motorcycles? I feel like I don't even know you anymore.

Wait wait wait…is this smoking prop being a cool look thing a joke, or are people seriously finding the look a cigarette cool?
