The 4th of July is a magical holiday; the warm sun and festive celebrations make some, like our intern Madi, believe it to be the best holiday of the year!

And while sparklers and roman candles are always fun, there is one part of the day we believe you can't live without: the food. (Literally, you can't live without it. Pun very much intended.) Check out our list of the top 4 snacks for your 4th of July party below! 

Hello! I’m Taylor Olson, and this summer I am 5j Design's Inbound Content Intern! In the fall I will be a senior at Augustana University, where I major in journalism and English. So, basically, I write a lot and I read a lot. I’m originally from New London, Minnesota. And while I love Sioux Falls, I’m a Minnesota girl at heart; during the summer you can find me on one of the 11,842 beautiful lakes. During the rest of the year you can find me being continually let down by the Vikings. In my free time, I like to watch Netflix for 8 hours straight without moving and read any book—or any blog, magazine, or story, really—that has words. Some of my favorite things include, but are not limited to: snuggles from my yellow lab, Sugar, going to concerts, and hiking!
