Bissli (he|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". Other flavors include onion, pizza, falafel and Mexican.
Described by the manufacturer as a uniquely Israeli product, Bissli is produced in five factories around Israel. It was first sold in 1975.
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.
