Why is UK Snack Food Boring?

I don't think we do. I have been to america and there's is all crap.

Most of asias is rubbish and tastes nasty, despite their food been the best.

Can't imagine Africa been big on it.

The best dessert I have ever had is Turkish, 'Baclava'

It might not be exciting, but it's the widest variety of good tasting snacks

Snack food in the UK is so boring, we get none of the awesome flavour varieties you get in foreign countries.

Take a look at this for example http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/...angest-pringles-flavors-from-around-the-world showing flavours of pringles around the world.

Why do we have the most boring snack food in the world?

You can find a lot of weird and wonderful stuff in corner shops. Big places like Tesco simply won't stock it as the sales are so few it's not worthwhile, they're better off limiting the choice and shifting more that way. Although the bigger the superstore the more choice they will have as they've got more room to fill.
 
The healthiest, longest living nations have the least snack food, it's only in the past few years France has had ready made sandwiches.

Most (all?) of those pringles are Japanese, they are just throwaway flavors that get bought out for fun, doubt many of them are nice :p

A couple of the ones in that list are sold in the UK. Prawn cocktail and paprika.
 
UK has possibly the greatest variation of crisps anywhere in the world.

Places like France & Spain, have plain, pizza flavour or possibly paprika.

Yes but they drink shed loads of wine and smoke bucket loads of cigarettes. Get rid of the fags and replace them with ready-made sandwhiches is hardly a bad thing. I'm not really sure why ready-made sandwiches are being classed as snackfood either, it's more often than not bought as lunch.
 
Chinese/Japanese snacks **** on ours from a very great hight, luckily for me i live in London so i can go to Chinatown a pick up most of the best stuff

That's what I mean. You said longest living and healthiest nations have the least snack food. But Japan is over flowing with it, both native and western. Their native snack foods are just healthier than what we have. Where they'd have noodles and fish, we'd have meat pie and pastry.

Japan is also one of the biggest tobacco consumers in Asia and still has the best life expectancy in the world, which is crazy.

There is a difference between the availability of snack food and the amount it is consumed.

Other countries might have more but they might not have the 'binge eating' / replacing normal meals with snack foods mentality that is often found in the UK.
