Combining numbing spicy hot flavors with various products

can help brands create unique products in the snack market.

The existing snacks in Old Sichuan are numbing spicy hot peanuts, numbing spicy hot green beans, peanuts, and numbing spicy hot pork strips. Packaging design and consumers’ food needs lead to small packages to retain the flavor.

Even without the pandemic, snacks belong in the long-term development trend of the "staying-at-home economy". Snack products can be eaten alone or made part of a meal. The line between snacks and meals is blurring. For example, numbing spicy hot peanuts are everyday snacks that can go with beverages, or they can be companion dishes to Sichuan-flavored jelly and Chinese dishes.
