Australians are a particularly snacky bunch. From meat pies and Vegemite scrolls to lamingtons and finger buns, we love anything that can be held in one hand and devoured on the go. With so many top-tier snacks Down Under, choosing what to have for your post-breakfast bite, lunchtime treat or midnight snack is no easy decision. Instead of giving the side-eye to see what others are reaching for at the supermarket, a new study has revealed the ten most popular snacks in Australia right now.
Despite racking up 49,700 monthly searches globally, the iconic Tim Tam has been trumped as Australia’s favourite snack. New research from Aussie courier service Pack and Send reveals that the humble Chiko Roll is the real winner for Australians, with a staggering 9,900 average monthly searches nationwide.

And really, is there any problem a bit of deep-fried goodness can’t solve?
