So we were flippin’ through some old SCORCH magazines and we came across the taste test for Chee Zees and Cheeze Stiks. Unable to decide for ourselves which one was better, we decided to resurrect the test to finally put an end to this age-old debate.

So your friends at SCORCH took to the streets (or just across from the office) to test which Cheesy snack is the real deal. So here’s what our lovely blind-tasters Kwesi, Larry, Barry, Sam, JoJo, Yankee and Paul had to say about these similar snacks.
Chee Zees
Yankee thought that Chee Zees tasted saltier, but at the same time had more flavour, and ended it off with a description of tasting more “organic”. Right. On the other hand, the remainder of our tasters thought that Chee Zees was weaker in contrast to
Cheeze Stiks, with Chee Zees even being given a rating of 5/10.
Cheeze Stiks
Having a rating of 8/10, Cheeze Stiks won the battle of the Cheeze, dominating with a crunchier texture, less salty, and bursting with more flavour overall!…..Except for Yankee that is, but wha’ he really know? He from foreign.
