Two weeks ago, we brought Snack Data, the Definitive Resource for Snack Enthusiasts Throughout the World, to your attention. Back in those days, each Snack Data entry only had four pieces of Snack Data: a simple illustration, a definition, and some tasting notes.

But last Friday, Snack Data creator Beau Johnson and new snack collaborator David Grant overhauled the Snack Database. Now, the snacks are categorized, searchable, and cross-referenced. The Nachos entry, for instance, now falls under the "Savory" flavor category, is included in the "Mexican" cuisine category, and is a part of the "Fun" series, along with other fun foods like pretzels, meatballs, and cereal.

Most significantly, though, Johnson now includes "composition" data for each snack that's composed of other snacks, giving a kind of lo-fi recipe for your own snack creation. To return to "Nachos," you can see that its composition includes "Cheese," "Guacamole," "Jalapeno," "Tortilla Chips," and "Refried Beans" (the last of which does not yet have an entry in the Snack Database).

For the adventurous snack browser, there's also a "Random Snack" button on the site. Check out our earlier post to learn more about Snack Data and its creation, and let us know if you find a favorite snack.
