Indian snacks are celebrated for their bold flavours, spices, and textures. From crunchy namkeen and bhujiya to savoury crisps, they offer a diverse range of options catering to various tastes and preferences. These popular snacks now appear to have reached a global audience. In a video currently going viral on Instagram, an American food vlogger is seen trying Indian snacks for the first time and sharing her honest reactions to these flavourful treats.
She begins by opening a packet of Milk Bikis and dipping them in milk. Comparing them to American Nilla Wafers, she remarks: "They taste like Nilla Wafers if Nilla Wafers didn't suck. Simple but good. I'll give it a 7.8 out of 10." Next, she picks up Lay's crisps in the Indian Magic Masala flavour. "Those are so flavourful, so well seasoned, which I don't think I've ever witnessed in a Lay's. Easy 10 out of 10."

The vlogger also tries the 50-50 sweet and salty biscuits, saying: "I love the texture of these. They're light and buttery. I'm also getting a hint of garlic in this. 8.6 out of 10." Lastly, she tastes Londonberry candies. Just one bite is enough for her to call them "nice and sweet". The snack earns a scrumptious and solid 9 out of 10.
