- And the original flavor wasn’t cheddar, if you can believe that!
Who doesn’t love goldfish crackers? Did you know that there were so many kinds of this snack?
Original
This type of goldfish crackers is also known as Saltine. These slightly salty crackers won people over with their cracker taste and crunch, in a small little fish shape. These crispy and crunchy fish are easy to eat and don’t hurt your mouth, and they’d be perfect sprinkled over a bowl of soup!
Whole Grain Cheddar
These goldfish are made with whole grain cheddar but they taste like the original, which is to say, delicious. Though some people thought that the original (cheddar) were better. Others like the whole grains added in and feel they are a healthier choice for themselves and their children. And for the most part, those who liked the whole grain cheddar goldfish thought they were even better than the original goldfish crackers.
Parmesan
Personally, my mom used to used Parmesan goldfish crackers in homemade Chex Mix and it was delicious. The parmesan flavored fish, if you will, are good in a mix because to some people there is very little parmesan flavor, if any. They have been compared to plain oyster crackers and are great as a side or on soup but “not great as a snack.” Others say they are addicting and so good, along with best ever and one person even said they ate the whole back in two sittings.
Pretzel
The pretzel goldfish take two amazing snacks and instead of a cracker, it’s a pretzel. Reviewers say it’s one of the best tasting pretzel snacks while others thought they were nothing more than fish-shaped pretzels.
Mix
Have you ever had the goldfish mix? It’s got two goldfish flavors in one bag including Xtra Cheddar and Pretzel Goldfish. What a delicious combination and others think the same. It’s a mix of cheddar and salty pretzel. What more could you really want?
Pizza 
When discussing new goldfish flavors, people often compare them to the original, meaning cheddar. Most thought these pizza goldfish crackers were delicious and some said they were their new favorite. One reviewer commented they were good and you should eat them with peanut butter. There is literal to no cheddar flavor in these crackers, as they taste like a flavorful pizza sauce. Are you still thinking about these pizza goldfish with peanut butter? Would you try that combination?
Frank’s Red Hot
Surprisingly, these goldfish are colored red using beet juice concentrate and paprika extracted from sweet red peppers. Way to go, Goldfish! This flavor was released to an “older and more mature” audience. Did you know that they were first marketed as bar snacks before the smile was added in the ’90s? These crackers boast a bright orange color and a dusting of flavor you can see and they are spicier than most expected. You know how most ‘hot’ things in the US aren’t hot, well, these goldfish are. Aside from the heat, you can taste the vinegar a bit and heat fans are obsessed.
Old Bay Seasoned
Would you ever try crackers seasoned with Old Bay? Goldfish once did and they weren’t like the Original or the Cheddar. They are more of a plain cracker color and give you a hit of celery salt that quickly fades. The cracker is a combination of salty spice and herbs creating a savory and buttery yet creamy taste sensation. You’ll taste hints of onion, garlic, paprika and even a bit of a vinegar-y tang.
