Best US snacks?
I’m in the US for a bit and leaving soon, planning on taking some snacks, toppings/seasonings, sauces, etc…
What’re the beeest snacks? I have Giant, Whole Foods and Trader Joes nearby. I mostly want recommendations for savory stuff because I know what sweets I wanna take already. I don’t want stupid bs either like Lays and Doritos. I want more unique snacks, stuff you can’t get in Europe.
One recommendation I got were the chili and lime takis from trader joes, definitely planning on getting those.
I also want like a suuuper sauce. Something that’s actually buss.
Anyways what are yall’s favs

I love all Trader Joe's snacks and Sun Chips- those are pretty much the things I ask my US family members to bring me in Europe

If you like pickles, Trader Joe’s Seasoning in a Pickle seasoning is really good and surprisingly versatile. The Mushroom and Company umami seasoning is also really good.

Not a snack, but if you fell in love with ranch dressing you can buy packets of the dry mix to take home with you. Simply add mayonnaise and either sour cream or buttermilk if you can get it in your home country. I remember reading that bottles of ranch dressing were confiscated from travelers returning home after the World Cup but that was because they exceeded the fluid limits. With the dry packets there should be no problem and you can easily fit a dozen packets (equivalent to 12 bottles) in your suitcase or backpack.
