Actually, it’s not accurate to compare these to Cheetos, because they really have nothing in common other than texture. According to the package they are made 70% out of peas and are even shaped to resemble pea pods just in case you forgot what you were eating. I'm also quite impressed with the wasabi ranch. That's not a common flavor in snack foods, but it should be. The bite of wasabi with the mellowness of ranch. I really can't say if they are a healthy, healthier, or just plain normal snack, but considering that they taste good I would certainly recommend giving them a shot. Just visualize whirled peas. Give peas a chance? No? Bad joke? I'll try to find something that will a-peas you. Peas don't stop reading my blog. Found at 7-11

Currently, in October 2025 more than a decade after I first met these pea-shaped miracles at a 7-Eleven, Calbee’s Snapea Crisps Wasabi Ranch are still alive, crunchy, and kicking harder than a sumo wrestler in a wasabi bath. Once a novelty in 2014, they’ve now earned a permanent place in the “better-for-you” snack aisle proof that peas can, in fact, party. The wasabi bite still tangoes perfectly with the mellow ranch finish, a combination that remains oddly addictive and slightly dangerous for your sinuses. You can find them at most major grocers, Target, Walmart, and even Amazon if you’re too lazy to leave the couch. Ten years later, I’m still impressed turns out “Give peas a chance” aged better than most internet jokes.
