Explanation:
Your life is full, it’s modern, it’s fun, it’s cool…your snack should go with your life, too!

It's not a word-for-word translation, but the point was to come up with a line that sounds better for marketing purposes. It rhymes, it's catchy, it reflects the meaning of the original phrase, and it has a double meaning: you should carry a snack with you for when you get hungry.

OR
why settle for anything less in your snack?

Example sentence(s):
  • Don't Settle for Less in Your Life. Nicotine addiction taught me a lot of things...none of them good. ...
  • Fulfillment of your authentic purpose is worth every effort. Never settle for less from yourself than the absolute best you can be. ...
