79. Reiscracker-Medley

Here are all the popular snacks at Trader Joe's, from worst to best (2)

Hannah Loewentheil/BuzzFeed

These taste a bit stale and could use a lot more flavor in my opinion, which could easily be achieved by adding something like wasabi peas into the mix.

78. Chocolate chip cocoa and vanilla meringues

Here are all the popular snacks at Trader Joe's, from worst to best (3)

Hannah Loewentheil/BuzzFeed

Sorry meringues, you'll just always fall short compared to most other desserts.

77. vegetable chips

Here are all the popular snacks at Trader Joe's, from worst to best (4)

Ditto, although these are a good option if you're following a gluten-free diet.

71. vegetable chips

Here are all the popular snacks at Trader Joe's, from worst to best (10)

Hannah Loewentheil/BuzzFeed

These have a satisfying crunch, to be sure, but again, they don't finish with the A-Team in the chip aisle.

70. Soft Baked Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Here are all the popular snacks at Trader Joe's, from worst to best (11)

Hannah Loewentheil/BuzzFeed

For something advertised as a soft cookie, I always expect these to be softer and chewy.

69. Watermelon jerky

Here are all the popular snacks at Trader Joe's, from worst to best (12)

Hannah Loewentheil/BuzzFeed

Let's stick to a cold, juicy watermelon on a warm summer's day and forget all about this “backpack”.

67. Coconut Crispy Rolls Waffle Cookies

66. Cheddar Rocket Crackers

Here are all the popular snacks at Trader Joe's, from worst to best (15)

Hannah Loewentheil/BuzzFeed

They're just not the same as OG Goldfish.

65. Pink & White

64. 3 seed sweet potato crackers

63. Honey Wheat Pretzel Sticks

Hannah Loewentheil/BuzzFeed

uhhh This is one of those snacks that you could like but not love and still eat the whole bag in one sitting.

62. Baked Cheese Crunchies

The inspiration for these potato chips is pretty clear, but unfortunately they fall far short of Pringles.

60. Crispy Crunchy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Here are all the popular snacks at Trader Joe's, from worst to best (21)

Hannah Loewentheil/BuzzFeed

Here are all the popular snacks at Trader Joe's, from worst to best (28)
