I think the list is kind of intentionally misleading to provide that assumption.
The non-English ones are all translations of whatever that language uses as its onomatopoeia that represents any quick succession of sounds.
In English, Snap Crackle Pop is most known as the slogan of Rice Krispies cereal. The saying was not common speech in English until 1932, when the then-5-year-old brand used the phrase in radio jingles for the first time.
The universal English equivalent to any of those would probably be something more like “bang bang bang”. Or in British English they say “bish bash bosh” which would be a true direct translation. In American English we dropped that saying, so our closest equivalent would probably be “wham, bam, thank you mam”
Reminds me of the Rice Krispies onomatopoeic noises in different languages:

I had no idea that vowel progression (I A O/U) was so common in European languages. Interesting!
Polish: “Under the dog weather”
That Belgian version doesn’t sound right. Never heard.or seen that one.
Interesting that English is the only language where this isn’t alliterative.

While you are correct, I feel it’s important to point out how lately you’ve been missing your ‘outside enrichments’…
I love how sometimes language unites us and sometimes it makes us humorously question the sanity of anyone too different from us 😄
