Snaxshot’s Post

Snaxshot on The Atlantic 🚨‼️ Was interviewed for this THOROUGH dive into how snacks took over American culture. For the past 4 years I’ve been diving into the cultural convergences that have led to Millennials as the snacking generation and the death of the “3 meals a day sitting at a table” —snacking’s redemption arc that is being inherited by GenZ and Alpha. From deregulation of children’s advertising in the 80s that saw the golden era of snacks from Lunchables to Dunkaroos, and globalization allowing for American snacks to permeate 90s kids life’s from all over, there’s a reason Millennials generation ultimately transformed century-old cereal behemoths like Kelloggs into snacking companies in the span of … 3 decades The snackification of everything from pasta dishes, to salads and ramen, etc—as our generation refuses to unlearn convenience and has morphed food to meet us where we are at—mostly never sitting down at a table. I could talk more extensively on this but for now TLDR —snacks won! Dropping link in replies—would love to hear thoughts!
