Lots of one snack, mix two snacks or sample a full bowl of snacks?

Would you prefer to eat a lot of one snack at one, seeing how two snacks mix together or sampling the full bowl of snacks?

I'm a big fan of pair-wise testing... sorry I mean pairing snacks together, to see how they work. For example, the humble sweet and salty popcorn is already a mix, of sweet and salty. But it can be paired with Smarties, to take it to a another level!

Generally, more different variety of snacks beats out more quantity of a single snack, I love chose and trying new snacks and new snack combos.
