I know it sounds lame, but I just love unsalted crackers. They're great for study munchies.
Of all the supermaket brands, Nabisco's Saltines are simply the best. They've got a nice light soda flavor and are quite crisp when fresh. i prefer them lightly salted though.
8bit's Kettle Chips are also great, i just wish their salted and salt and pepper flavors had less, um...
salt on them. Awesome chips though, and dipping them in yogurt or sour cream is a great way to hide the salt.
i just got back from the supermarket and picked up a bag of Cape Cod's Jalapeno and Aged Cheddar chips. First time i've seen them here. They've got a nice crunch to them, as do all of their handcooked chips. The jalapeno bite is there, and it really overpowers the flavor of the aged cheddar, but i'm overanalyzing. i know these chips won't sell well in this area (Lays is king here >_<), so i'll have to stock up a bit.
Probably my favorite filling snack would be boiled eggs. Add a handful of salt to a pot filled with enough hot water to completely cover the eggs. When the water boils, gently add the eggs to it. Let them boil for eight minutes (ten or more if you like a hardboiled egg), turn off the heat and replace the hot water with cold.
Boiled eggs go with just about anything, especially cheese and beer. And it only takes a few to feel full, unlike with chips where you can eat half a bag without trying if you're hungry.
