The Ultimate Snack

When there are snacks, people shall come. It's one of those cardinal rules of hospitality. Snacks have the power to bring people together and make everyone temporarily satisfied. They just do.

Snacking is great because it's like the noncommittal way of eating without having to create a full meal. Amidst the chips and salsa, peanut butter filled pretzels, goldfish, cheez-its, and such, there is one snack that will always be a win.

That snack is animal crackers.

So maybe it's not the most obvious choice, but animal crackers have a lot going for them. For one, as soon as people see animal crackers, they get nostalgic about childhood and are instantly reminded of good and happy times. Animal crackers are also fun to eat. There's always the debate of whether it's humane to eat the head first and then all the extremities. There's also the joy of trying to figure out what animal you actually got because the mountain goat oftentimes looks like a llama. And on top of all of that, they're straight up delicious.

Now there's good old-fashioned plain animal cookies which are delectable by their lonesome. But when their frosted and sprinkled counterparts come out, it really becomes a party.

For future reference too, you can buy a large bag of animal cookies from any Duane Reade for $2, and the frosted kind for under $5. Happy snacking!
