Anyone had them? They're quite fantastic, if you ask me. Except...every now and then, I will find one that has some black stuff on it. Anyone know what this is? Makes me a little uncomfortable. I just bought a bag of the Ranch flavored ones. I need to go buy some more!

I used to eat Soy Crisps. I don't remember though--are they better than the Quaker Rice Snacks? They're pretty similar, aren't they?

I thought that was just me being paranoid...I pick the black spot off and continue enjoying my caramel rice cake. Mmmmmmmmm. Never tried the soy crisps, though.

I went to the store and bought 3 different kinds of rice snacks...
1) Quaker's
2) Soy Crisps (which I am eating now--go into that in a sec)
3) Kroger Brand Rice Cakes

The Soy Crisps, at first, were a little bit weird tasting...but now I'm kind of enjoying them. :)

And 7 grams of soy protein! Wooot!

I LOVE Ranch Quakes. Mmmmm.

I often have full-size rice cakes at my desk at work as well. Carmel Corn, Apple Cinnamon, and Chocolate Peanut Butter are all good.

I love the rice cake snacks! My favorite kinds are the cheddar and the chocolate ones.

Parks I too have seen the mysterious black marks on my Rice Snacks. I try not to think about it. I just break the affected part off and tell myself the rice just got scorched in processing. That, or it's a rat turd.

Daaaang! There must be a lot of rats in the Quaker factory!

Oh yes! Quaker Crispy O's were originally called "Quaker Rat's Delight" but it tested poorly. But even since then, the plant has been overrun. They just put out big pans of grain to try to keep them from falling int the machinery.
