Favorite Snacks

Although I shouldn't love junk food the way I do and I will end up paying for it in the future, I still forge ahead. My favorites are BBQ Pringles, Twizzlers, Slim Jims w. fine cheeses, Lays Sour Cream & Onion, Sour Patch Kids Watermelon, Mentos (so chewy and refreshing), Swedish Fish, Pistachios (salted), Doritos (blue ranch-nacho), Greek Yogurt (w. walnuts dipped in honey), Butter Pecan ice cream, Frozen Bananas, Pork Skins, Beef Jerky (hickory flavored). I'm probably missing something but that's all I've got for now.  

What brings you nostalgia?

Pizzelles, pan di stelle, balconi wafers, and homemade biscotti were common snacks in my home growing up and have remained my favorites ever since. Also doritos are pretty bomb and always hit the spot.

Dayman?
 

Yes these are good

Andy Capp Hot Fries, Snicker Ice cream bars, starbursts, skittles, sour patch kids originals, random junk food I find in ethnic supermarkets - the quality must be really sub par but it tastes good and is different.

 

Crunchy Chips with fresh lemon or lime juice, Lime Lays, Salt and Vinegar Chips, chips with cheddar cheese melted in the microwave,peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches, Icea cream sandhiches, ice cream, sandwhiches, lunchables, McChicken,  Yogurt with almonds and Honey, Pretzels with Yogurt or that cocaine "mustard" flavoring, Granola bars, protein bars, protein shakes, pesto and veggies, any cooked food in my fridge really. I like to eat left over meats. I eat everything in one sitting.

I've become a real fatty during covid. 10 lbs gained so far and binging on "snacks" and not eating real food. I don't even drink protein shakes anymore :(

 

Haribo candy, Keebler cookies, Sour Patch, Doritos, and Cheez-Its are my favorite junk food snacks. Almonds are my favorite healthy snack

I’m a fun guy. Obviously I love the game of basketball. I mean there’s more questions you have to ask me in order for me to tell you about myself. I'm not just gonna give you a whole spill... I mean, I don't even know where you're sitting at
 

Aussie here so probably going to be a very different list: 

Savoury: I love shapes so much: BBQ and Chicken Crimpy are top-tier, also like Cheddar. Fave potato chips would either be classic Smith's Salt & Vinegar Crinkle Cut or the Red Rock Deli Chips: Honey Soy Chicken and the Sweet Chilli ones are really good. Love some Jatz, Cheddar and Cabanossi as a snack. 

Sweet: Snickers, Crunchies, Cherry Ripe, and Tim Tams on the chocolate front, as well as Darrell Lea Rocky Road. Not the biggest fan of lollies but starbursts are good and some of the Allens are nice. I love Connoisseur ice cream: most of the flavours are very good, not a fan of mint ice cream so that's probably the one i stick away from. 

Healthy: Veges with hommus, greek yogurt granola and fruit, corn thins, rice crackers, fruit in general. Try not to snack and stick to three main meals,

Depends on the objective:

Eat it because I like it and it is healthful = Larabars, Kashi cereal and Detour Smart bars, Orgain vanilla protein drinks

 

Yeah Oreos and whole milk

Dude, I am transitioning from Detour Smart Bars to Larabars per your suggestion.  To compensate for the low level of protein in the Larabars, I started drinking Orgain vanilla protein powder.  These protein drinks taste great and have lots of protein.  Recently, I found a Larabar that has a high level of protein.  It did not have many reviews but I thought, it would be worth a try.  I suspect they are not going to taste as good as the regular Larabars. 

 

Cool. Yeah I haven't tried the Larabar Protein bars either, but would probably go for something rich and chocolatey. The Larabar Almond butter chocolate brownie looks good. 

RX bars are 12g protein through egg whites which are also pretty good. I like the Chocolate and Mint Chocolate.

This thread explains the obesity problem

Never discuss with idiots, first they drag you at their level, then they beat you with experience.
 

This thread actually highlights the true patriots of this country who get diabetes to die off before receiving Social Security to keep US $T debt down.    

 

Yeah if they die early they also contribute less to Climate Change™.

The Greta Thunberg awards are all yours. American patriots and Mother Earth heroes. 

Never discuss with idiots, first they drag you at their level, then they beat you with experience.
 

Nah, I'm just obsessed with getting a six pack these days
