Seeing that Cinnamon Toast Crunch is something that I, an “adult” man, still eat, I’m all the way in on this. I have no idea what I’d do with it. Maybe make some actual cinnamon toast out of it? Dump it in my coffee? Eat it by the spoonful? Only one way to find out.

You love a Zapp’s chip. I love a Zapp’s chip. We all love Zapp’s chips. There’s a far higher ceiling in town thanks to this seasoning, and I can’t wait to fry up some catfish with this stuff.

But, seriously. What are you doing with this? I want to throw a dinner party with a very lavish, beautiful Italian meal. I carefully put handmade pastas and gorgeous cheeses on the table and, as I invite everybody to sit down, plant a big Snickers Shaker right in the middle of the table and say, “feel free to add some more seasoning if it’s a little bland.”

Frank’s Red Hot

As a lover of Frank’s and a dry-rub barbecue wing, a whole lot of utility comes to mind right away. This seasoning seems made for use in a smoker.

Long for the days of going to get an overpriced burger in the mall when you were 14? Relieve those wild times at home with Red Robin seasoning.

Much like the Snickers Shakers, I can’t imagine what I’d put this on. Maybe it could top a waffle or sundae or get tossed into a milkshake, but this feels like something that would sit in your pantry for the next 45 years.
