Bobby’s Onion Rings

Another day, another variety of Bobby’s Snack.

Let’s be honest, I’m probably starting to sound a bit obsessed with Bobby’s Snacks.  And with good reason.  I am a bit obsessed with Bobby’s Snacks.  They’re absolutely dishlicious.  So much so, that I have come up with the following slogan for them, which Bobby can have for free: ”They’re a taste sensation, sweeping the nation.”  See, that’s pretty good.

Today’s snack is Bobby’s Onion Rings – another of Bobby’s “Big Value” products.  The packet specifically describes these as “Fried Onion Flavour” and fried onion is one of my favourite flavours, so this seemed a no-brainer.   However, the packaging boldly claims: “The Best Taste Around!”  Now, it’s already well established that I’m a massive Bobby-fan, but it seems a crazy move to declare just one of his snacks as having the best flavour.  Can the Onion Rings live up to this billing?

Yes and no.  Sure, the flavour is exquisitely evocative.  The fried onion motif made me feel like I was spending an evening at the fair.  I could almost feel the mud in my shoes, wishing that I was a girl so that the man would spin me faster on the waltzers; being glad that I’m not a girl so that I didn’t get fingered behind the waltzers by the man who spins you faster on the waltzers.  As onion ring-style snacks go, Bobby’s really are the “cream of the cream”.

The downsides?  Well, they are incredibly salty, so I’d recommend having an isotonic drink to hand to avoid desiccation.  Also, could anything compete with Bobby’s own BBQ Sauce Potato Snax?

Bobby has literally been hoisted by his own petard.
