That being said, you&#8217;ll probably also need to be a big fan of hard, horrific smelling cheeses to really enjoy these. More on that later.<\/p>\n<p>I usually prefer pretzel Combos to the baked cracker cylinders, but the crackers did a great job as a bread proxy. They&#8217;re basically as salty as the pretzels too, which I appreciated.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/garparmbos3.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Garlic Parmesan Combos Innards\" title=\"garparmbos3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The filling is exactly as advertised. It&#8217;s a cheesy, garlicky clump of dry mud. If spread on a loaf of bread, it&#8217;d be gross but would probably taste how you&#8217;d want snackified garlic bread to taste, with perhaps more cheese flavor than you&#8217;re accustomed to. It was definitely a bit too much for me.<\/p>\n<p>The garlic didn&#8217;t bother me, but that cheese\u2026<\/p>\n<h3>Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/garparmbos5.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Garlic Parmesan Combos Bowl\" title=\"garparmbos5.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I mean, look, I knew what I was getting into, but the filling smells awful. Garlic and parmesan aren&#8217;t exactly scents you&#8217;d want to burn a candle of, but it&#8217;s so much worse than I expected.<\/p>\n<p>I basically held my breath before popping each one in my mouth. I called them &#8220;&#8216;bos&#8221; as a joke, but I think I now know what the &#8220;BO&#8221; stands for.<\/p>\n<p>It stinks (literally) because they do actually taste good. The smell was just so hard to overcome. If I walked into an Italian joint and caught a waft of garlic and parmesan, I&#8217;d probably find it appetizing. Something about that smell coming off that weird Combo paste nearly made me sick.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/garparmbos4.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Garlic Parmesan Combos Ooze\" title=\"garparmbos4.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It probably didn&#8217;t help that my bag had a loose asteroid of filling just floating amongst the crackers like a bag of inverse silica gel, but I really couldn&#8217;t get over that rancid smell. It knocked the score of these otherwise tasty snacks down 4 whole points.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe I&#8217;m just too sensitive? If you&#8217;re one of these maniacs who pop provolone cubes like Tic Tacs, these may not bother you. You&#8217;ll most likely enjoy the taste, but just know that if you eat a bag, you might want to steer clear of society for a day or two because you&#8217;ll probably reek.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $2.39<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 6.3 oz.<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> Wawa<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 4 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (1 oz) 140 calories, 7 grams of fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 3 grams of saturated fat, 0 mg of cholesterol, 300 milligrams of sodium, 18 grams of total carbohydrates, 3 grams of total sugars, 0 grams of fiber, 2 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are Garlic Parmesan Combos?
