As a food scientist I have too many opinions about this. I'd love to see more food discussions, and anything culture/pop culture related. I always liked your material about music, looks like you can cover any topic well!
My wife often hears me watching your videos while I’m eating breakfast. When you got to Cheeseballs, she yelled from the kitchen “what!? S tier, no question…stick to music!”
One time my wife took those pretzel rods, coated them with Nutella, refrigerated them, then covered them with chocolate and sprinkles, then continued to refrigerate them until the chocolate becomes like a hard shell, and I never enjoyed pretzel rods or the pretzels that are in chip aisles until she made this. Some of you might want to try it out.
This was the most entertaining tier listen video I've ever watched. Now you gotta do all the other basic streamer tier lists (soda, fruit, pop tarts, that type of thing) and maybe even try each thing while you rank it.
dude, this unironically saved my day.i messed up an art piece today and my day was ruined but this really saved my day!!!! thnx finn, please do soft drink tier list next!!!! (yeah im straightedge couldn't care less for alcoholic beverages)
As a Brit I loved seeing what you guys like! Particularly like how OTT the graphic design is on your packaging compared to British stuff; everything seems designed to immediately smack your eyes in the face. Your commentary as always is the best. Thanks to you I won’t be able to see snickers or mars anymore in quite the same way - hilarious
I love these peeks into other cultures! Like the weird trays biscuits come in that seem to be creeping in over here, and jars of what are basically wotsits 🤣
I swear Finn I was about to suggest a food related tier list, since Fantano did a Let's Argue favourite pizza segment I fantasized about you doing something like that, you now read our minds, like wtf?!
Listen, i've worked for like 2 years on a soft cookies recipe to make sure it was the softest fully baked cookie I could produce. That's how much I love them. And i'm a pastry chef, so I had to.
I always loved this channel. Then Finn stated Tim’s Cascade Potato chips are the best potato chip on the market, and my esteem for him and this channel found new heights.
I love the change up here! I'm not on any sort of diet I admit, so my fave kind of snacks are any kind of spicy ones, the spicy doritos, flamin hot cheetohs, etc. I'm a gamer as well, but no Mountain Dew surprisingly. Get me an unsweetened tea with a lemon and I'll be set for an afternoon (I'm boring I know lol)
This is the content we've been waiting for! This kinda content will get you on Hot Ones or GMM and that's when you've made it on TH-cam. Seriously, I was ridiculously excited when I saw this video on your insta. I fucking love snacks. Fuck the Slipknot MGK beef, this is real shit.
I'm sorry I'm a few days late to this but this is honestly one of the funniest videos on your second channel, I usually love your videos on the new age of pop punk personally, but this is honestly an incredible video and I found myself laughing all the way through, well done Finn!
I love how it cuts to the editor opening a bag of Tim's potato chips while shaking his head in disgust as well. The irony of the situation cracked me up.
Chili cheese Fritos are amazing! For your cookie poll question: Soft batch in a package is nasty af, but love them when home made. From a package, I prefer crunchy. My list looks like the upside down version of yours. I love corn nuts. Lol. Ruffles makes the best sour cream and onion chips. yummmm
a note on uncrustables, Kids remove the extra bread around the outerlayer. I don't know if its out of habit or what but i work in a high school and see it all the time. so i'd say if Smuckers was trying to save on waste they failed
This is S tier content. I’d be stoked to see if you threw more content like this into the mix. My snack of choice is going to wawa and getting the zapp’s voodoo chips and throwing them on my hoagie. If you haven’t guessed I’m from philly. Lol
Im gonna get some hate for this, but if you are watching your diet, carrots are a great snack food. By the time you clean one carrot, and start eating it, you are already so invested in it...
I personally think Lunchables belongs in S tier, because of how much of an impact they had on the school lunch scene. They have a very experimental taste that blends elements of sandwiches, crackers and snack packs. You can tell that they’re heavily influenced by the all-time greats of the genre such as PB&J and turkey slices, yet they create something new and innovative out of these flavors. Placing Lunchables in D tier is ignoring the large role they played in bringing processed cheese and turkey slices into the mainstream, and disrespecting the innovation they brought as one of the “big four” of school lunches, alongside Uncrustables, Cold Pizza and Yogurt Smoothies. Their taste has aged much better over the years than other school lunches, which are often a product of their time. Lunchables are true innovators of school lunch, and they deserve more respect.
That's so cool to hear you lived in Montclair, NJ. I live in Bloomfield which is right down the road. Were you in the downtown area closer to East Orange or closer to Clifton?
@@FinnMckentyPRMBA ok cool. I understand why you only lived there for a year. Montclair is expensive (NJ as a whole is expensive), and NJ is the punchline of many a joke but we have some good food around here. If that's any saving grace.
I don't think corn nuts are that bad tasting, but I remember there was always some asshole that would open a pack of them on an airplane or something, and if you open some corn nuts in a public enclosed space, you're a psychopath.
I gotta say your list is almost perfectly tuned to my taste, but I do love Uncrustables. The catch is to eat them frozen as the crunchy frozen peanut butter is amazing along with the chilly jelly. I fully understand not eating these processed sandwiches, but I recommend for everyone to try a frozen PB&J to experience the crunch.
As a non american i only know doritos and oreos, but for some reason the american marketing makes me want to try some of these, you should try international snacks as they got some wild flavors
In the UK we have those goldfish things but salt and vinegar flavour and they're called "fish n chips" because they're shaped like fish and fries. But they're fucking amazing, full of flavour.
I agree that cheese balls,corn nuts,chips and jerky can be nasty but...if you order these things from small batch snack companies they can be epic and it helps if they are made by a fellow chilihead to
If any of your tier lists needed a part 2, this is the one. Popcorn, plain ass ritz crackers, apples, bananas, Klondike bars, pepperonis, pickles, carrot sticks, gummy bears, I can go all day
Fritos smell exactly like smaller breed dogs that haven't been bathed in month. I got my first Shih Tzu at 15, and I haven't been able to eat them since.
The content is good whether it is this channel or punk rock mba. Wasn't expecting snack food tier rating, also wasnt expecting fritos to be that low on the list. The chili cheese ones? Drugs in a chip bag.
Uncrustables are fire Finn! They aren't supposed to be frozen though lol just refrigerated. They also have strawberry, and a honey and peanut butter uncrustable, which is my personal favorite lol. Give them a try!
I used to work in a UK crisp (potato chip) factory. We used to make stuff equivalent to pringles as well as actual potato crisps. I remember the machine exuding the instant mash mix for the pringles-type out on to the belt before it was stamped and fried. Reminded me of something from a Cronenberg film. One of the worst places I've ever worked.
RE: giving kids lunchables vs homemade "lunchables" My kids will not touch a plate of cheese and ham unless It's an actual lunchable. So instead of spending like $0.30 to make them lunch, I have to spend $3.00 to give them the same thing. About to get some circle cookie cutters for the ham and save a coupld old lunchable trays.
Your videos always have me cracking up laughing 🤣 I can't even tell if you're intentionally being funny but your passion for the smallest things is hilarious.
I pretty much agree with all of this. Fritos, sunflower seeds, and pretzels are the worst snacks. Only difference I'd have is Dipping Dots higher. The strawberry banana kind is spectacular!
Beef Jerky and Combos have always been my go-to road trip snacks but I maybe eat them once every three years otherwise. Pretzel rods are decent with hummus but definitely d tier on their own. You're either criminally overrating Lay's Sout Cream and Onion or you've never had Herr's Sour Cream and Onion Chips.
Of course it's content and educational for me because the only snacks from this tier list that are available in my country are Lay's, Pringles, Oreo, Snickers and obviously Doritos. Some products from this list are similar to other snacks that I eat every once in a while though. If I have to pick one, it's either Lay's or Doritos, I prefer the spicy ones.
I love uncrustables lol a lot of times I don't have bread in the house to make a PB&j. But uncrustables make it so efficient to have a PB&j if you don't regularly store bread at home.
ROFL, yes. I work in a high school and the irony is all the high schoolers take the "crust" off the uncrustables... i don't get why, maybe its like sticking the middle finger to Smuckers
I really want a “weird food combos” tier list, like the whole fries-w/-Ice Cream or milkshakes thing, the stoner’s type of snacks, or something like that. It’s weird but I do like a good sweet yet salty or savory type of combo…
I can say with confidence, if you eat an Uncrustable while it’s frozen - it’s the greatest treat ever. The peanut butter becomes a nice shell around the jelly. Delicious.
I have more of a sweet tooth, and mainly use the marshmallow and sweet fruit flavour vape liquids (albeit the menthol variety, with nicotine). When I first went to the US as a 10yo I was disappointed with the snack selection; almost all the chocolate had peanuts, which I didn't dislike, but wasn't crazy about; and there were endless brands of chips, 95% seemed to be a cheese flavour - which I really didn't like, especially Cheetos, for some reason. The saving grace was the cereal selection. I could have eaten Fruit Loops with marshmallow for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I'd never had them before as they are not available in Europe as someone deemed them too unhealthy for children! Occasionally Fruit Loops appear for a limited time, but never with marshmallows. Would be fully supportive of a cereal tier list.
As an american the reason a lot of our chocolate has other things in it like peanuts or nougat is because our chocolate is utter shit that barely qualifies as chocolate.
Within Europe, British chocolate is considered bad, especially compared to Belgian or Swiss chocolate; but I appreciated it more after I'd tried a Hershey's bar. Which I was interested in trying, but one bite was enough for me. I realized why Snickers is so popular, which as a kid I didn't eat much. Years later, when I visited Canada, I was expecting it to be the same as the US; but it was more like a combination of American and British snacks.
Your dippin dots story, I felt every word of that. Now you can buy them at gas stations but I remember they were only available at the local water park, movie theatre, and the mall and my folks weren't buying that shit. I finally had it at the mall in high school. Not impressed.
Come hang out on Twitch! www.twitch.tv/finnmckenty
i cant believe the pink and white frosted animal cookies didnt make it on here...S tier for sure.

This is cool, we needed a break from pop punk and incel music tier lists

Cheezits, Fritoes in tomato soup if you can't get to the actual grocery store for oyster crackers. Gold fish work too.

This is the highest quality content on TH-cam I live for this shit thank you finn
I've never seen Finn speak so passionately about something. #SoftCookieGang
I don't understand how anyone can dislike your content. You make me laugh a lot. Genuinely funny commentary.
Thank you!
You did cheese balls dirty man, those are absolutely A tier
The Planters White Cheese 🔥
One time my wife took those pretzel rods, coated them with Nutella, refrigerated them, then covered them with chocolate and sprinkles, then continued to refrigerate them until the chocolate becomes like a hard shell, and I never enjoyed pretzel rods or the pretzels that are in chip aisles until she made this.
Some of you might want to try it out.

I will!

dude, this unironically saved my day.i messed up an art piece today and my day was ruined but this really saved my day!!!! thnx finn, please do soft drink tier list next!!!! (yeah im straightedge couldn't care less for alcoholic beverages)
Also, I don't particularly like dried pretzels from a bag. I prefer going out to a vendor and getting a hot pretzel with cheese or something
Just bretzl, some butter and weißwurscht with sweet mustard. Perfect anti- hangover breakfast 👍
As a Brit I loved seeing what you guys like! Particularly like how OTT the graphic design is on your packaging compared to British stuff; everything seems designed to immediately smack your eyes in the face. Your commentary as always is the best. Thanks to you I won’t be able to see snickers or mars anymore in quite the same way - hilarious
I love these peeks into other cultures! Like the weird trays biscuits come in that seem to be creeping in over here, and jars of what are basically wotsits 🤣
Combos are vegetarian, even the pepperoni ones. I love the"it's so processed it's vegetarian/vegan" venn diagram of food
Pepperoni flavored. Lol.
I swear Finn I was about to suggest a food related tier list, since Fantano did a Let's Argue favourite pizza segment I fantasized about you doing something like that, you now read our minds, like wtf?!
funny stuff, I was spitting my coffee out. You're passion for pretzel rods is contagious! RIP die hard Corn Nuts fans
I finally found snacks to watch this with, and I’m fist deep in a Pringles can when you start explaining how they are made.
I had Dippin Dots as a kid all of once while on a family trip to Niagara Falls, and just assumed that's how they ate ice cream in Canada.
Listen, i've worked for like 2 years on a soft cookies recipe to make sure it was the softest fully baked cookie I could produce. That's how much I love them. And i'm a pastry chef, so I had to.
I also am trying to master “subway style” soft cookies. Care to share your secret?

"The School Lunch Scene" is my favourite Taking Back Sunday record
Lunchables were the "cool" and envied lunch when I was in elementary school.
Anybody remember when lunchables used to make mini burgers and hotdogs in the 90s early 00s?
This is such genius low hanging fruit.
Well done, sir.
23:48 Thoroughly enjoyed you eviscerating that Union Organizer for eating Uncrustables.
Cheez it's are definitely an s tier especially the extra toasted ones
pretzel rods exist strictly as a dip delivery mechanism
That's so cool to hear you lived in Montclair, NJ. I live in Bloomfield which is right down the road. Were you in the downtown area closer to East Orange or closer to Clifton?
East orange

"I'm a salty guy, not a sweet guy."

It’s 9:04 PM and I feel like admitting I binge watch these videos and I am truly laughing. Glad I found this channel.
I enjoy all of your content quite a bit, but this was easily my favorite video you’ve made 🤘🏼
Regular Gold Fish are just okay, but flavor blasted ones are amazing.
Tim's also makes Costco's Kirkland Signature Himalayan Sea Salt Kettle Chips. And they are from the potatoes of the gods.
That explains a lot!
Fun fact: the only good thing to ever come out of the United Kingdom are their Worcester sauce “walkers” potato chips -aka ello guvna version of lays-
Personally I narrowly prefer salt and vinegar to sour cream and onion, but I love your passion!
Fritos smell exactly like smaller breed dogs that haven't been bathed in month.

@@FinnMckentyPRMBA The only problem is how hungry this made me ha!
Amen on the lunchables! I toss crackers, cheese and lunchmeat in a tupperwear container. I always thought that was me being lazy.
definitely, heck my mom bought the family size chip bags and gave us chips in Ziploc bags. it used to embarrass me but as an adult, i totally get it.
The content is good whether it is this channel or punk rock mba.

Snack tier list Part 2: Gushers, Dot’s Pretzels, froot by the foot, Kraft Mac n cheese, Funyuns, Twinkies/ little Debbie cakes, Takis, skittles, sour patch kids, chips ahoy/ Keebler elf cookies, pepper ridge farm Milano cookies, bomb pops, ice cream sandwiches, Chex mix

Homemade soft batch cookies are so good.i think the trick is to add extra baking soda
homemade cookies are some of the best things in the world. the store stuff can't touch it
If Muddy Buddies aren’t on this list, Finn will be excommunicated from my life for eternity.
I pretty much agree with all of this. Fritos, sunflower seeds, and pretzels are the worst snacks. Only difference I'd have is Dipping Dots higher. The strawberry banana kind is spectacular!
I for one, found this incredibly fascinating and would be much obliged to see related content in the future, Mr McKenty.
Very specific video and I'm here for it
Beef Jerky and Combos have always been my go-to road trip snacks but I maybe eat them once every three years otherwise. Pretzel rods are decent with hummus but definitely d tier on their own. You're either criminally overrating Lay's Sout Cream and Onion or you've never had Herr's Sour Cream and Onion Chips.
Bro fuck yes. Idk what it about road trips but it’s the only time I’ll buy beef jerky. It’s a must

I love uncrustables lol a lot of times I don't have bread in the house to make a PB&j. But uncrustables make it so efficient to have a PB&j if you don't regularly store bread at home.
“Arguing on Reddit about some dumb bullshit” made me LOL and a truer sentence has never been spoken
Forgot to mention that Corn Nuts destroy your teeth. They're basically seasoned jawbreakers.
FYI All the baked version of chips from Frito Lay are made just like Pringles with the crumbs from the chips. They're both fried and baked.
Your commentary on Lunchables and Uncrustables had me dyyying. "Tell it to the judge scumbag"
ROFL, yes. I work in a high school and the irony is all the high schoolers take the "crust" off the uncrustables... i don't get why, maybe its like sticking the middle finger to Smuckers

I can say with confidence, if you eat an Uncrustable while it’s frozen - it’s the greatest treat ever. The peanut butter becomes a nice shell around the jelly. Delicious.
Those cheese balls bucket would be good for sharpies and art stuff.plastic clear pickle jars are amazing for pens!
Love soft cookies! Matt’s Chocolate Chip cookies are amazing!!
Oreos are the best hard/crunchy cookie hands down
Keep making these types of stream videos. It’s gold
Types of TH-camr tier list. Prank, asmr, compilation, reaction, etc
You need to do these kinds of teir list videos on a segment called, Finn's oFINNions.
Finn I actually like corn nuts,pretzels,Fritos and beef jerky. But I have to agree with you on sunflower seeds and lunchables being terrible.
