Cornitos Pop n Crunch Party Mix: The Crunchiest Evening Snack

Finger foods and bite-sized snacks are perfect for when you have a glass in your hand. Often when cocktails are the main event, you’re more likely to grab some ‘chakna’ than some pizzas or tacos. To make every peg desirable, curating a bold mix of crunchy, tangy, salty, maybe slightly sweet bar food is an art. 

Hosting a party and being artsy may not go hand in hand, but that’s where packaged snacks come into play. In our Cornitos Pop N Crunch Party mix review, we’ll tell you if this party snack is worth a ‘shot’ or not. 

1. Packaging

This party mix is packed in a resealable pouch. A silicone sachet has been added to the pack to help preserve freshness. 

2. Taste

Unlike freshly roasted nuts from a local vendor or kirana, packaged nuts and seeds have a high chance of turning rancid and tasting bitter. Did our pack of Cornitos nuts ruin our ‘sip n munch’ experience?

3. Flavour

The nutty taste from peanuts, a mild sweetness from corn nuts, the freshness and pungency of wasabi coated green peas- could we taste the characteristic flavors or did the seasoning overpower them?

4. Texture

Fried nuts have a crispy coating, roasted nuts have a prominent bite- what was the texture of this party mix like?

5. Crunchiness

Is this bag of nuts fresh? Do the nuts have a significant crunch? 

6. Aftertaste

Do the nuts start with one taste and end with another? Or is it a collective burst of flavors right from the beginning? Does the spice hit us in the throat? Is there any oily or stale aftertaste? 

7. Nutritional Information

The 200 g pack of Cornitos Party mix holds seven servings.

Each 28 g serving provides 148 kcal divided into 8 g of fat, 13 g of carbohydrates, and 5 g of protein. 

8. Price

Cornitos Pop N Crunch Party Mix price is INR 135. 

From cheap beer to the finest label of scotch, does this party mix complement them all?

Typically, packaged food items are flushed with nitrogen. This helps create suitable conditions for longer storage periods. Oxygen and other contaminants from stored food packaging are displaced by nitrogen. This also helps in retaining the freshness of the nuts.

Though cocktails look fancy, the real heroes are bar snacks. These nuts were super crunchy and fresh-tasting. The resealable pack is another plus. 

Since we aren’t fans of Wasabi, we avoided the nuts that had Wasabi seasoning.
