Over 4,000 tons of Bissli are produced each year in an array of shapes and flavors. Bissli is a crunchy snack that is made with fried 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 "Grill" and "Barbecue".[1] Other flavors include onion, smoky, pizza, falafel, Mexican, and hamburger.[2] Each flavor is shaped differently: the pizza flavored snacks are shaped like squares, the onion flavor like small hoops, and the smoky flavor like small hollow tubes.

Described by the manufacturer as a uniquely Israeli product, Bissli is produced in five factories around Israel. It was first sold in 1970.[2]

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.
