100 calorie snack packs?

Not filling at all, at least for me.0

They're nice if you want a low-cal dessert. For meals or snacks? Personally, I would much rather have just about anything else.0

The problem with the packs as I see it is that you're limited on what options from the snack isle have been portioned out for you (a service you pay extra for).
I'd much rather buy the snacks I want in the large or economy size and portion out 100 calories of that snack myself.
You don't have to go by the manufacturers suggested serving size on any package. 140 calorie serving of something can be scaled down to 100 calorie serving of that same thing.0 -

Why not?
The higher the nutrition value the less hunger pains you will experience. You won't feel hungry for a longer period of time between meals. I would definitely chose quality over quantity. A quick fix with 100 calorie snack pack will leave you unsatisfied & wanting something more.0 -

Why does it have to be clean?0 -
I personally like them because I have a bit of a sweet tooth so it's nice to add a little sweet treat with lower calories. As long as you're not using it as your main source of nutrition, who cares? I don't know why some people are so anti-100 cal packs lmao.0

Nothing is bad. Even if they're 100 calories packs, I weigh them. No surprise that often there is more than the grams stated on the package, thus more than 100 calories.0 -

Not everyone experiences this.0 -
I enjoy them, it's fun for my sweet tooth.
Also fantastic to throw into my bags for when I'm out and about. If you can fit it in your "calorie bank" do it.0 -
I used to get them all the time! Now, mostly to save money, I just buy bigger packages of snacks and portion them out. I like the convenience of grab and go .0

I like the popsecret 100 calorie kettle popcorn packs. I like them because they are lightly sweet and a good sized bag. I only do them every now and then because they have some chemicals and fake sweetners. But I like them.0

Define "bad."0

Not sure about 'bad', but surely more expensive than buying bigger packs and DIY. As someone above said, you're paying for someone to portion it out into little packets for you. Surely better to buy some small sandwich bags and weigh out your own. More choice too!
Do you have Graze over there? Some of their punnets are less than 100 cals and are very nice indeed.0 -
For something sweet, I choose a vanilla yogurt. For something crunchy, I choose Cheerios.0
