Bissli ( Hebrew: בִּיסְלִי, Bisli) is an Israeli wheat snack produced by Osem. Bissli is Osem's second-best selling snack brand after Bamba. [1]
Bissli is a crunchy snack that is made in the shape of pasta. The name is a combination of the Hebrew word Bis, meaning "bite", and the Hebrew word li, meaning "for me". [2]
The most popular flavors are " BBQ" and "Smokey".[ citation needed] Other flavors include onion, pizza, falafel and Mexican. [2]
Described by the manufacturer as a uniquely Israeli product, Bissli is produced in five factories around Israel. It was first sold in 1975. [2]
In 2014, Osem introduced a special edition of their other popular snack, peanut-flavor Bamba together with Bissli, mixed within the same blue package, named "Bissli-Bamba Mix". Another edition of "Mix" included onion-flavor Bissli, packaged in a green pack.
