    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”
