crunchies
Noisy textured foods
Crunchies is informal for crunchy foods or snacks: I'm craving something salty—got any crunchies?
In military slang, crunchies are infantry soldiers, viewed from the perspective of those in armored vehicles—a dark joke about what happens when tanks meet foot soldiers.
The word also appears as a dismissive term for people perceived as excessively health-conscious or granola-eating.
