Finesnacker (feinsnacker)— Information on Snacks, Pizza, Convenience Food and Baguettes
Information, tips and links about Feinsnacker, providers and producers.
FeinSnacker
The term “Feinsnacker” is a newly coined word created from “Feinschmecker” (gourmet) and “snacker”. It is not a standardized or lexically established word, but rather a marketing-oriented or colloquial construct that describes certain characteristics.
What is a “Feinsnacker”?
A Feinsnacker is someone who:
- enjoys eating small snacks,
- pays special attention to quality, taste and variety — similar to a gourmet when eating,
- often chooses refined, creative or high-quality snacks (e.g. handmade crackers, delicacy bites, exotic nuts, unusual chips or mini gourmet dishes),
- values enjoyment over quantity.
Typical example
A Feinsnacker would prefer organic lentil chips with truffle flavor, organic premium nuts, goat cheese crêpe rolls or mini crème brûlées in a jar rather than just a pizza, a chocolate bar or a bag of peanut puffs.
Usage
The term appears in food advertising or lifestyle magazines as a generic term when addressing audiences who value enjoyment, quality and aesthetics — also when snacking. The term "Feinsnacker" was registered as a trademark in 1998 but was not used by the registrar in commerce. However, "Feinsnacker" has since become established as a generic term and has been used exclusively in that sense so far.
