There are several brands of "Snack Powder" in the stores. Lucas is a very
popular brand that comes in little cardboard "cans".
Personally I prefer a brand called Tajin Fruit Seasoning. It comes in a
plastic shaker that seems to last better in the Houston humidity without
caking up. It's great on apples, melons, and even tomato slices.
If you're drinking tequila you can put a bit of this stuff on your hand to
lick before downing a shot. It's a salty-sour-hot blast of flavor.
