Claims
- 1. A snack having a surface area, comprising:
a first side, a second side opposed to the first side, a first region wherein the first region is concave, a second region opposed to the first region wherein the second region is concave, and a continuous surface area positioned between the first region and the second region.
- 2. The snack of claim 1 wherein the continuous surface area further provides a signal of potential separation of the first region from the second region.
- 3. The snack of claim 1 wherein the continuous surface area further provides a signal of consistent breakage of the first region from the second region.
- 4. The snack of claim 1 wherein the continuous surface area further provides a signal of bite placement.
- 5. The snack of claim 1 wherein the first region and second region provide signals of minimal dip spillage.
- 6. The snack of claim 1 wherein the continuous surface area provides substantially predictable, consistent breakage between the first and the second regions via an application of force upon the continuous surface area.
- 7. The snack of claim 1 wherein the continuous surface area is substantially planar.
- 8. The snack of claim 1 wherein the continuous surface area provides a bending moment about which the first region and the second region arch upwardly away from a plane.
- 9. The snack of claim 1 wherein the continuous surface area is symmetric.
- 10. The snack of claim 1 wherein the first region possesses a concavity, the concavity encompassing a volume.
- 11. The snack of claim 10 wherein the concavity of the first region fully encompasses a volume.
- 12. The snack of claim 10 wherein the second region possesses a concavity, the concavity encompassing a volume.
- 13. The snack of claim 12 wherein the concavity of the second region fully encompasses a volume.
- 14. The snack of claim 1 wherein the first region is substantially a mirror image of the second region.
- 15. The snack of claim 1 wherein the snack comprises corn.
- 16. The snack of claim 1 wherein the snack comprises potato.
- 17. The snack of claim 1 wherein the snack comprises wheat.
- 18. The snack of claim 1 wherein the continuous surface area comprises at least one printed image.
- 19. The snack of claim 1 wherein the continuous surface comprises an embedded indication.
- 20. The snack of claim 1 wherein the characteristic width of the continuous surface area is smaller than the characteristic width of the first and second regions, and wherein the characteristic length of the continuous surface area is smaller than the characteristic length of the first and second regions.
