Welcome to The Snack Shack, the unofficial heart of your Saiga Safari adventure! Nestled conveniently next to the Saiga’s enclosure (and the bulk candy aisle), The Snack Shack offers a unique blend of snack-time classics with a Costco twist. Whether you're here for a quick refuel after watching the Saiga pace nervously between pallets of pretzels or just need a break from the excitement, The Snack Shack has something for everyone.

Menu Highlights:

1. Saiga Specialties

• Saiga-Size Pretzel Sticks – $2.99
  Huge. Soft. Salty. These giant pretzel sticks are the perfect snack for anyone who wants to feel like they’re grazing with the Saiga (minus the whole “wild animal” part). Served with a side of mustard for those who enjoy a bit of tang.

• Antelope Tenders – $5.99
  Just kidding, no Saigas were harmed in the making of these tenders. Crispy chicken tenders served with dipping sauces of your choice. (We recommend a gentle “Saiga's Escape Sauce,” a secret blend of barbecue and ranch.)

2. Bulk Snack Bonanza

• Costco-Size Bags of Chips – $3.99
  Choose from classic varieties like Classic Lay’s, Doritos, or Ruffles. Perfect for that moment when you want to buy more than you can possibly eat, just like the good ol' Costco spirit!

• Mega Gummy Bears (5 lbs.) – $9.99
  Yes, you read that right. We serve up the world’s largest gummy bear for your chewing pleasure. (Warning: May cause jaw fatigue, but totally worth it.)

3. Sweet Saiga Snacks

• Saiga's Favorite Granola Bar – $1.49
  Saigas are known for being picky about their snacks, but we've worked hard to craft a bar that balances flavor and nutrition. Not that the Saiga eats granola bars—he prefers wild grasses—but we think it's a solid option.

• Bulk Candy Bucket – $4.99 (per bucket)
  An all-you-can-eat extravaganza of Costco-sized candy! Fill your bucket with your favorites: M&Ms, Skittles, gummy worms, and even those little chocolate-covered almonds that somehow always end up at the bottom of the cart.

4. Drink Options

• Saiga's Lemonade – $2.49
  Refreshingly tart and sweet, made with real lemons (not the kind the Saiga uses for its "self-care rituals," we promise). Comes in a jumbo cup—perfect for sipping while you ponder the mysteries of the Saiga’s existence.

• Costco-Size Slushie – $3.99
  A giant cup of icy, sugary goodness, in your choice of flavor: Cherry, Blue Raspberry, or Mystery Flavor (which may or may not change depending on the mood of the staff and how much leftover syrup is in the back).

5. The Wild Side: Saiga’s “Exotic” Treats

• Rotisserie Chicken Nuggets – $4.99
  Inspired by our world-famous rotisserie chicken (just don’t feed it to the Saiga!), these juicy, tender nuggets will have you second-guessing your whole “I’m a vegetarian” situation.

• Antelope-Approved Veggie Platter – $3.49
  The Saiga loves to nibble on herbs and grasses, so we thought we'd bring that vibe to the Snack Shack with a delightfully fresh veggie platter. Includes carrots, celery, cherry tomatoes, and a side of ranch or hummus. It’s the healthiest option, even though the Saiga would never touch it.

The Saiga's Sip & See: A Special Drink for the Brave

• “Saiga’s Escape Smoothie” – $6.99
  A bold combination of kale, pineapple, and mystery fruit (the Saiga won’t tell us exactly what it eats, so we had to guess). It's an intense, energizing drink that will leave you feeling like you could out-run the Saiga if it decides to make another break for it.

Snack Shack Policies:

• No Sharing with the Saiga:
  While you might be tempted to feed the Saiga some of your snacks, we ask that you don’t. The Saiga is strictly on a diet (and let’s be real, it’s probably judging your snack choices).

• Open-Air Seating:
  Feel free to enjoy your snacks at the outdoor seating area, where you can watch the Saiga pace nervously while you sip your slushie. Pro tip: The more you ignore it, the more likely it is to approach. Maybe.

• Bulk Snacks to Go:
  Want to bring a little piece of Saiga’s Costco Safari home with you? We offer discounted bulk snack bags for your convenience, including “Saiga-Size” popcorn and Costco’s world-famous muffins. Stock up, because once you leave, the Saiga's presence may be hard to replicate.

The Saiga's Snack Shack Secret Menu (For the Bold):

• The "Saiga Safari" Sundae – $8.99
  A towering sundae featuring a scoop of vanilla ice cream, topped with Costco-sized hot fudge, caramel, and the wildest assortment of candy and sprinkles you can imagine. Perfect for those who feel the need to really indulge.

• “Escape Tunnel” Fries – $4.99
  Fries served in a deep, dark paper bag that looks suspiciously like an "escape tunnel." These crispy fries come with a side of ketchup, but we won't judge you if you dip them in chocolate sauce.

Closing Notes from the Snack Shack:

While the Saiga might not appreciate the snacks, you will. Whether you’re here for a full meal or just a quick bite after witnessing a daring Saiga escape, The Snack Shack promises a unique mix of savory, sweet, and just plain fun options to fuel your adventure.

Remember, the Saiga doesn’t always cooperate, but we always do. Come hungry, stay curious, and don’t forget to grab a souvenir snack bag on your way out!
