Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.

In the hierarchy of foods, snacks are deemed trivial – perhaps even childish – especially in contrast to meals, which are seen as substantial and necessary. The multiple aisles devoted to sweet and savory treats in supermarkets, and the availability of snacks even at places like home improvement and department stores, speak to the popularity of snacking. But the ubiquity of snacks is relatively new and not common to all countries.

Eurie Dahn traces the story of snacking culture through specific snacks, including Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, cheese crackers, and Choco Pies, and in the contexts of ethnicity, popular culture, diet culture, and even parenting. Snack is an idiosyncratic cultural history that offers surprisingly filling food for thought.©2026 Eurie Dahn (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Resumo da Crítica

Snack is an idiosyncratic cultural history that offers surprisingly filling food for thought.
The brilliance of Snack and all the Object Lessons books lies in their ability to encourage us to step away from our devices, see ordinary things in the world through a different lens, and notice more.
This tempting morsel of a book invites you to consider the history, culture, and even theory of those little bites we snatch between meals. Dahn's lively storytelling and digestible research invite us to slow down and take a hard look at that aisle full of temptations at the convenience store. With her help, we now see behind the colorful packages a surprising history of food, leisure, and pleasure.
