Snacktime! is a children's-themed studio album by Canadian band Barenaked Ladies released on May 6, 2008 by Desperation Records. A companion book was written with artwork by multi-instrumentalist Kevin Hearn, who also contributed artwork for the album. It is the final Barenaked Ladies album to include Steven Page, who departed the band on February 25, 2009. He was subsequently quoted, saying of the album, "[i]t was a lot of fun to do, but it wasn't my idea. I was along for the ride."
Snacktime! reached #10 on the Canadian charts and peaked at #61 on the Billboard 200. It also won a 2009 Juno Award for the Children's Album of the Year.
The first song in the Canadian Snacktime Trilogy, entitled "Snacktime", features numerous guest callers stating their favourite snack. Some of these callers are celebrities while others are children of the band. Some of the celebrities and children with their respective snacks of choice are listed below, in order of appearance.
The track itself (along with the two following) is named for Lightfoot's Canadian Railroad Trilogy.
