When it comes to savoury snack, Monster Munch is the best money can buy: a chunky baked corn snack in the shape of an animal paw. Originally launched in the UK in 1977, Monster Munch has had a changing roster of flavors and manufacturers over the years, but the ultra-popular pickled onion flavor has always remained.
These snacks aren’t for the faint of heart. When we tell you the flavor is pickled onion, we’re not kidding! If the only puffed corn snacks you’re used to taste of cheese, your tastebuds are in for a heck of a wakeup call.
Flamin’ Hot flavor run a close second.

Pickled Onion Flavour Monster Munch – there is no bigger snack. I remember my first bag of crisps (though technically not a crisp) as a kid, Beef flavour MM. Magic. And they had cool, long bags and really trippy adverts.
Is there some hidden tech information in this article that I’m missing or did I stumble on the FoodNetwork by mistake? Come on Cult of Mac, this may be interesting content but more appropriate on a different blog.
I find myself asking this question more and more often…why is this on Cult of Mac?
I can’t even find descriptions of what’s being shown – this is bad linkbait.
You forgot “Walnut whips”, Jelly Babies and any flavour of Crisps. :)
