5 Canadian Celebs with Elite Snack Palates
Let’s be honest for a second. You can give a Canadian a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, millions of dollars, and a mansion in Malibu, but the second they get homesick, none of that matters. They don't want caviar. They want a bag of chips that turns their fingers bright neon red.
Here at NordSnacks, we are firm believers that you can judge a person’s entire character based on their corner store choices. So, we did some digging into the deep dark depths of celebrity interview archives to find out exactly what the biggest names from the Great White North eat when the late-night cravings hit.
From normal comfort food to some deeply unhinged snack hacks, here is how 5 of Canada’s most famous exports actually feed their inner trash panda.
------------------------------
## 1. Ryan Reynolds — Hickory Sticks (The Nostalgia Trip)
You’d think the guy who plays Deadpool and owns a soccer team would be eating artisan truffles, but Ryan Reynolds is shockingly down-to-earth when it comes to junk food. He has repeatedly admitted that his first stop whenever he lands back on Canadian soil is a gas station to buy Hickory Sticks. There is something hilarious about a literal Hollywood A-lister sitting in the back of a luxury SUV, meticulously picking tiny, smoky potato twigs out of a bag. We respect it.
## 2. Shania Twain — Dill Pickle Chips
The undisputed Queen of Country Pop has spent decades touring the globe, but her taste buds stayed firmly in Ontario. Shania’s ultimate road-trip essential? Dill Pickle chips. She wants that sharp, vinegary, face-puckering crunch. Honestly, if a bag of dill pickle chips doesn't impress her much, we don't know what will.
## 3. Michael Bublé — Spicy Hickory Sticks (The Unhinged Method)
Burnaby’s favorite crooner, Michael Bublé, takes his snack game to a level that can only be described as chaotic good. He doesn’t just eat Hickory Sticks like a regular human. Oh, no. Bublé’s specific, self-admitted ritual is to pour hot sauce straight into the bag, shake it up, and then eat them with a toothpick so his fingers don't get messy. It’s weird, it’s complicated, and honestly? It’s a work of art.
## 4. Celine Dion — Peanut Butter & Real Chocolate
Quebec's ultimate vocal powerhouse treats her voice like a temple, but she makes a hard exception for chocolate. Celine has a massive sweet tooth and has professed her deep love for the simple elegance of peanut butter and high-quality chocolate. Whether she's eating a fancy ganache or just unwrapping a peanut butter cup in her dressing room, her heart will go on for this exact flavor combo.
## 5. Drake — Ketchup Chips
You can take the boy out of Toronto, but you can’t take the Ketchup chips out of Champagne Papi. Drake has given multiple public shoutouts to Canada's most elite potato chip flavor over the years. When you're running the music industry, sometimes the only thing that can properly humble you is a bag of chips that leaves your fingers looking like a crime scene for a solid three hours.
