@awk sure! Go ahead and place your order… I’ll cancel your shipment and send you one bag of a leftover 1.2oz flavor of your choice
(Edit) heyyyyy you said you just wanted one bag. I can’t change the price for you unfortunately I will say once these sell out, we will have a limited amount of 36ct 1.2oz of just coconut and sea salt flavors left for purchase.
@thismyusername I also looked for them… all we could find is calorie, fiber and protein content. They’re chickpeas after all, so I can’t imagine anything but a very limited amount of ingredients
@kidsandliz for the coconut, of course! That’s the dessert variety. The Olive & Oregano and Hot Chili have no sugar… still searching for the barbecue, however.
These actually might be good, except for the coconut.
Also, the “best by” date makes me leery. The corn nuts from a previous meh were stale as f, and there’s no way we’re eating however many lbs of chickpeas by any time near the end of the year…
@robson We got corn nuts from both sales. Imo the second box was undercooked (not as dark or crispy). If that was the only box I bought they would definitely seem to be stale. The nuts from the first box are still nice and crispy.
@Kidsandliz yep. And my father-in-law eats jalapeño at every meal. I have to be constantly vigilant because he doesn’t comprehend how that doesn’t work for everyone.
“Garbanzo Bonanza” is a delightful phrase visually yet a wreck when read aloud. It’s like all the same letters making completely different sounds. Bravo!
I’m halfway curious about these, but between the monster quantity of them that I’d have to acquire, and the annoyance factor of a certain misfeature, I’m not having any trouble saying nah, I’ll pass. Might be a damn shame, but I guess I won’t find out whether I’m right about that.
@werehatrack these are totally something I would buy to try if I found them at a weird store like Ollie’s (and a surprising number of snacks I see here I later see there - they had the stroopwafels for $5 a pack for a while) but mass quantities are not a good way to try things.
@djslack@Steficake@werehatrack I think there is goal conflict here. Your goal is to try it. Meh’s goal is to get this shit out of the warehouse before it is expired so they at least break even.
@djslack@Kidsandliz@Steficake I suspect their goal is more like seeing if enough of these can be pushed out the door at this price ro justify grabbing the other stuff that the same supplier wants to get rid of.
@Felton10@ircon96 Oh, right - thanks. I don’t know if Walter will be allowed to have such things anymore - did you see the poor little guy is in the hospital with heart trouble?! It’s in the blame thread.
@Felton10@Kyeh Yes, i hadn’t been keeping up with the blame thread recently, but i saw that shortly after this post, so i left a message there for them. Poor Walter!
Mine have arrived. I’ve sampled the flavors. Here’s my initial report:
Sea salt: Meh. There is nothing inherently repellent about these, but they’re kind of boring. I’ll eat them, and use them as toss-ins for salads and such, but they aren’t something I’d go into a convenience store to find on purpose.
BBQ: Less boring than the sea salt, but zero zing and not a huge burst of flavor either. These will probably get eaten primarily as road trip snacks and maybe late-night gut spackle before crashing post-meh-face-bash.
Coconut: Oddly, the best of the bunch in my opinion. Very much of a “toasted coconut” flavor note, and they’d pair up well with some dark chocolate morsels. I can has plans for these, and I’m glad I picked the combo that was heavy on this flavor.
Olive and Oregano: Not a fave; not even “meh”. Not nasty; they’re just not well suited to my palate as a grab-and-eat snack. They’re probably going to end up in soup. Maybe my partner will want them as snacks; there are significant areas where our preferences don’t overlap. Happily, this is the flavor that’s present in the lowest quantity.
Overall, this is a much better buy than the edamame were, but I wouldn’t repeat it.
@werehatrack I agree about all the flavors; I’m glad I went heavy on the coconut too; the others are less than meh. I do regret buying them so that fits, I guess. 🫤
@Brandonson112
They have a weird mealy texture. They’d be good bar snacks, probably, because they make me want to drink something right away. So dry and powdery.
@Brandonson112 They get stale fast after opening, but it’s not as obnoxious as stale potato chips that turn into the consistency of fragile glove leather.
I would agree with most that the taste/texture takes some getting used to, the texture kinda reminds me of extra chalky dry roasted peanuts. But my dog LOVES them…i gave her some of the plain ones & she would have eaten the whole packet if I’d let her! I might be in for a rough night in the olfactory department, if reports about the intestinal effects are to be believed. Omg, what did i do!!!

@Trinityscrew No shit?
I would so buy these if they cost one cent more.

@defective @phendrick Baaa, Baaad!
@phendrick Look at the cute little kitty cat.
@defective @phendrick
I’ve never paid money to have garbanzo beans on my face.
I have to pass, I have a strict monthly chickpea budget of $33.
@awk sure! Go ahead and place your order… I’ll cancel your shipment and send you one bag of a leftover 1.2oz flavor of your choice
(Edit) heyyyyy you said you just wanted one bag. I can’t change the price for you unfortunately
I will say once these sell out, we will have a limited amount of 36ct 1.2oz of just coconut and sea salt flavors left for purchase.
@troy Can I do that 65 times?
(my original comment asked about getting one bag but I edited it after I decided I wanted zero bags)
@awk “can I do that 65 times?”
Sure… your total will be $2209.35 for 65 1.2oz bags of your choice
@troy make it $2208.99 and you have a deal
/giphy I’d buy that for a dollar
less a penny.
If you cover your car with these…does that make it a “chickpea magnet”?
@eeterrific But you’d probably attract a lot of passerines &bird poop.
@eeterrific I like your thinking! You should buy em and find out
Hey, why is there no nutritional information here or anywhere else including their website?
@thismyusername must have nothing to say
@thismyusername wondering the same thing. Suspect.
@thismyusername I also looked for them… all we could find is calorie, fiber and protein content. They’re chickpeas after all, so I can’t imagine anything but a very limited amount of ingredients
@thismyusername Best site I could find is this:
https://www.mynetdiary.com/food/calories-in-dry-roasted-coconut-chickpea-snacks-by-talia-cup-29992037-0.html
Aren’t Chickpeas for Hummus?
@hchavers I mean, whatever your into but seems unsanitary.
@hchavers Hummus? They hardly know us!
Another $5 coupon finds validation…
/giphy misty-animated-nightmare
In for the sea salt. We be plant-based and need to be wheat gluten free.
Where is the ingredient and nutrients label?
@Cerridwyn
Found this after some more sleuthing. Any sugar added is cane sugar
@Cerridwyn Sea Salt and Chili
@Cerridwyn @troy Cool. Sugar is the second ingredient. They must be sweet (all pun intended).
@kidsandliz for the coconut, of course! That’s the dessert variety. The Olive & Oregano and Hot Chili have no sugar… still searching for the barbecue, however.
Beans, beans, the musical fruit.
@Zott the more you eat, the more you toot
So drink your pea after every meal.
@mcanavino @Zott I thought they were good for your heart.
These actually might be good, except for the coconut.
Also, the “best by” date makes me leery. The corn nuts from a previous meh were stale as f, and there’s no way we’re eating however many lbs of chickpeas by any time near the end of the year…
@robson We got corn nuts from both sales. Imo the second box was undercooked (not as dark or crispy). If that was the only box I bought they would definitely seem to be stale. The nuts from the first box are still nice and crispy.
@robson Chana dal in a coconut curry can be pretty good…
@robson And here I was thinking… “These actually might be good, especially the coconut!” I’m truly a nut for coconut, however.
@j2 That’s good to know, not sure if that makes me feel better…
Glad you got a good batch though, wish mine had been. My spouse threw them all out after declaring them inedible and a tooth hazard
@robson the strange thing is my spouse prefers the undercooked ones
@robson Plot twist: The coconut is actually the BEST flavor. I know, I’m as surprised as you are.
I’m tired of pooping. What the hell!
Am I missing it or is there no detailed nutritional info? Says keto friendly but curious how many carbs exactly is in each package.
@bluecolor see the pic that someone posted above.
@TimW this is only one of the flavors, right? I am assuming the others don’t have sugar as a primary ingredient.
@TimW oh i see the others were added, thx!
Talia Snacks getting their freak on…from the write up: “Toss your salad with dry roasted chickpea snacks…”
/giphy toss your salad
@TimW “Sweet chicks…” FIFY.
Biena brand chickpea snacks are really good, so I hope these are as good!
/giphy murky-cowardly-griffon
I’ll wait for the wasabi peas.
/giphy dreadful-snaking-woodsman
@jerminate ouch! But what did he think was going to happen when you grab a snake and put your face right there?
If these are anything like the others listed before, you’ll need a gallon of water to choke them down with.
@airjer Are you thinkin’ about the corn nuts? This is our first time ever selling chickpeas
@troy I bet @airjer is taking about the edamame snacks.
@airjer @djslack @troy Those were good I thought, had a nice kick to them
And here I first misread the title to be: “It’s a garbage bonanza”
@Kidsandliz LOL!
You hit the nail on the head, That’s Meh for ya!
It’s tempting just so I get to say garbanzo, but I’m still working on the corn nuts, which is amusing to hear but not nearly as fun to say.
If I could opt out of BBQ and chili I’d be in. I’m a wimp for spicy. Yes this counts as spicy for me.
/giphy spicy beans
@katbyter I’ll trade you 2 coconut for your BBQ and chili
@katbyter I hate spicy too. And in my opinion regular table pepper is too hot. We both must be super tasters.
@Kidsandliz yep. And my father-in-law eats jalapeño at every meal. I have to be constantly vigilant because he doesn’t comprehend how that doesn’t work for everyone.
@robson sorry I didn’t see this in time. Would’ve gone for that trade!
“Garbanzo Bonanza” is a delightful phrase visually yet a wreck when read aloud. It’s like all the same letters making completely different sounds. Bravo!
I’m halfway curious about these, but between the monster quantity of them that I’d have to acquire, and the annoyance factor of a certain misfeature, I’m not having any trouble saying nah, I’ll pass. Might be a damn shame, but I guess I won’t find out whether I’m right about that.
@werehatrack these are totally something I would buy to try if I found them at a weird store like Ollie’s (and a surprising number of snacks I see here I later see there - they had the stroopwafels for $5 a pack for a while) but mass quantities are not a good way to try things.
@djslack Eh, if the only Ollie’s I’ve found down here has them at some point, I might grab a pack.
@djslack @werehatrack Finally the voice of reason… “but mass quantities are not a good way to try things.” MEH.
@djslack @Steficake @werehatrack I think there is goal conflict here. Your goal is to try it. Meh’s goal is to get this shit out of the warehouse before it is expired so they at least break even.
@djslack @Kidsandliz @Steficake I suspect their goal is more like seeing if enough of these can be pushed out the door at this price ro justify grabbing the other stuff that the same supplier wants to get rid of.
2 flavors were sold-out so I was deciding between Chili and BBQ. Then while I pondered, the Chili sold out. So only BBQ and Coconut left.
/giphy shaky-autumnal-barmbrack
I hope I don’t regret this:
/giphy macabre-escaping-cape
Okay, I have to keep that gif, but I liked this one too:
I do regret them. They’re less than meh. The only ones I’d buy again are the coconut.
@Felton This review might interest you:
@Kyeh Just adding his full handle @Felton10 so he doesn’t miss this.
@Felton10 @ircon96 Oh, right - thanks. I don’t know if Walter will be allowed to have such things anymore - did you see the poor little guy is in the hospital with heart trouble?! It’s in the blame thread.
@Felton10 @Kyeh Yes, i hadn’t been keeping up with the blame thread recently, but i saw that shortly after this post, so i left a message there for them. Poor Walter!

Overall, this is a much better buy than the edamame were, but I wouldn’t repeat it.
Followup: Olive & oregano is a non-hit. Def going to be an ingredient in something else. I’m just glad these are useful as more than snacks.
Added followup: Methane production cranked to 11!
@werehatrack I agree about all the flavors; I’m glad I went heavy on the coconut too; the others are less than meh. I do regret buying them so that fits, I guess. 🫤
I’d rank them like this:
Are these supposed to be crunchy? Because mine were delivered and I opened a bag to find them … kinda soft.
@Brandonson112
They have a weird mealy texture. They’d be good bar snacks, probably, because they make me want to drink something right away. So dry and powdery.
@Brandonson112 They get stale fast after opening, but it’s not as obnoxious as stale potato chips that turn into the consistency of fragile glove leather.

I might be in for a rough night in the olfactory department, if reports about the intestinal effects are to be believed.
Omg, what did i do!!! 
These are fart pills. Take a few and…wait.
None of the flavors are very good. I have BBQ and Coconut. They’re actually kinda bad.
