Despite their hatred towards the West, Islamic State fighters reportedly enjoy binging on Western snacks like Pringles and Red Bull.

According to New York Daily News and as reported by the Financial Times, foreign fighters who have flocked to Syria and Iraq are still desperate to get hold of the Western snacks in spite of their war against everything the West stands for.

Local shopkeepers reportedly revealed that Western jihadists who had left their countries to join the Islamic State were mainly the ones demanding the snacks.

A shopkeeper named Nassim said that earlier these snacks were either unknown or luxuries that couldn't be afforded.

He added that IS fighters bought Pringles and Red Bull by the box to share at the front.
