Favorite Snack Food

[Solaris]

Pretty straight-forward. Salty, sweet, chocolatey, fruity, crunchy, chewy? Healthy, fatty?

What is your favorite snack food, and why? (If you happen to know why) Does it depend on some other variable?

[Danisty]

All of it. That's why I'm fat.

[Solaris]

For me, it depends on my mood. I go through phases when raspberries are my favorite snack food, but also times when Crunch N Munch is the best (like right now...*crunches away*). I like chocolate of the darker variety, like Dark Chocolate Peanut M&Ms, or Cadbury chocolate eggs with the sugary shell. I prefer gummy bears over gummy worms. I like caramel. My favorite snack is probably popcorn though. I do like Doritos once in a while. I tend to really enjoy healthy snacks too -- veggies, fruits, yogurt.

I exercise so much, that I don't freak out over eating some junky food sometimes. If I don't eat it, I just get nuts and tend to want to eat tons of it later because I keep thinking about it. Plus, with all the exercise I do, I find I actually desire a healthier and healthier diet (it's weird to me in a way), because it makes me feel better.

Sweet 'n' Salty Chex Mix, because Chex Mix is inherently awesome, but this variation drops the lame rye chips and inserts neat things like raisins and candy, so it's like a badass trail mix.

[BadMojo]

I have a thing for cookies. lol

Um. Bread. Various kinds. Which.. could be all of the above I suppose. :laugh:

[Firelie]

Chips. The USA version. Those fall under salty and fatty (and sometimes sweet). Mmm delicious. My favorites are from the Kettle chips brand...they have a honey dijon flavor that's sweet, salty, onion-y, a little bit tart and oh-so fantastic.

I like them so much that I've had to ban myself from buying them and all chips, otherwise I'll eat the entire bag.

[Santana28]

dark chocolate rules.

I make my own chips.
I also make fries too.

NOW you're talkin' my language!!

For snacking, nothing beats a bag of Lay's Potato Chips and a 20oz bottle of Faygo Fruit Punch. Sweet, salty, crunchy, cold – all of the essential tastes in one treat.

Then there is the Dark Molasses cookie / ice cream indulgence. You can substitute Ginger Snaps for the Molasses cookies. The ice cream has to have some kind of chocolate or caramel ribbon in it and pralines wouldn't hurt. A cookie crunch with a dollop of ice cream coolness on it is heaven-sent.

If simplicity and convenience are in order then a box of Dots works fine; multi-flavored, sugar-sweet, and bite sized. You can suck 'em till they disappear if you want long-lasting ecstasy, or you can chomp on 'em but be prepared for an hour of teeth-picking if you do that.

Crunch 'N Munch (new style), or Cracker Jacks (old school) are both good too.

Then there are the miscellaneous treats; buttered popcorn, candy-coated peanuts, Hostess pocket-pies and chocolate-covered cupcakes, peanut brittle…hmmm, have I missed anything?

[Solaris]

Turkey Jerky! Great for my post-workout protein fixations. I love the stuff.

Yikes that stuff is rich! I can barely handle a Jolly Rancher... sheesh.
I do eat ice cream, and cookies, and chocolate... but whenever I do, even though it tastes so good, i feel like I ate a brick also.

That's ok, with proper training and years of dedicated practice you too can become a pro. :thumbsup:

[Laura_Palmer]

I know it's sick, but I love pork rinds.

[Truth]

I love vanilla ice cream and brownies. Anything ala mode. Carmel popcorn, popcorn ingeneral and potato chips

You speak "Truth", indeed :thumbsup:

[Solaris]

Preference: Make/assemble it yourself, or just open package and eat? (Applies only to those snacks which have this choice, some things are not realistic to make yourself)

[niffer]

Beef jerky. Also, raw peppers. Occasionally flavoured popcorn.

[danalaina]

it's dependent on mood and energy level. if i'm tired, i want something i don't need to prepare, which usually means junk.

cucumbers. good milk chocolate. triscuits and cheddar. cheetos. tomatoes. bacon. kettle chips with no salt.

and it's not a snack, really, but i can't turn down a nice cup of hot tea. i'm a coca-cola junkie, too, though i'm trying to avoid it.


ooh! left off beef jerky. big fan.

[Bossy Mom]

Popcorn without salt or butter (so I don't feel as guilty). I also don't have to deal with worrying about butter smudges on my books.

[rwyatt365]

Heresy! Blasphemy! Popcorn without salt and butter is like eating crumbled rice-cakes *Bleh!* :yuck:

[Ytterbium]

All of it. That's why I'm fat.:laugh: Right on.

I like popcorn, nuts (pistachio, peanuts etc.), salty liqourice, potato chips (sourcream or dill prefered).

[PortInStorm]

Bits and Bites, Pringles, popcorn, butter-toffee peanuts- if it's a vacation. Otherwise, since I'm sitting on my student ass all day, I don't.

Amen to dark chocolate- have chocolate every day. At least a little, so I'm about 10 lbs over, but I live with it.

And do love good/ripe grapefruit, oranges, and kiwis (which I eat with the skin on), bananas. But frig, fruit is so expensive, all the crap is cheap.

[Bear Warp]

Bread.

I love a good loaf of bread.

[slut poacher]

i enjoy snacking on the self esteem of the vain but weak minded. spirit-munching it does an intj good.

[Capt57]

The wonderful, diverse and interesting world of good cheese.

Mmmm, butter-toffee peanuts!

warm, fresh-baked bread

*passes out in ecstasy*

[Solaris]

Dark Chocolate Peanut M&Ms. Almost anything chocolate raspberry.

[xhaan]

Bread.

Yay for bread!

The wonderful, diverse and interesting world of good cheese.
Yay for cheese! Which ranks up there with bread!

[Sylvanus]

Dr Pepper, I know it's not technically food, but I like to think of it as a food substitute. If I drink enough, I don't ever have to eat.

Ceiling cat is watching you...

Is that cat hanging from the roof of a roof? How do you know its not the floor and its peering up? Surely that'd be more comfortable than what its supposedly doing?

Damn, it makes me dizzy. Stupid (delicious) cats.

[Wapiti]

Dark Chocolate Peanut M&Ms.

My favorite also, I go through a large bag a week.

[ssfanatic]

Oooh man, TWIZLERS!
I go through one of those 4 pound bags in an hour. Man this makes my mouth drool.

[Jgib5328]

A big ice cream sundae with cookies and cream ice cream, hot fudge, rainbow sprinkles. Brownies are good too, I love sweets. I don't eat bad stuff that often though.

[Colette]

Fruit's my favourite snack (almost any kind). After that, cheese and cracker, or cracker and dip. In a junk food mood I could go for potato chips..

[Julian]

Cheese, pickles, olives, and soft tortilla shells.

[Solaris]

Cheese, pickles, olives, and soft tortilla shells.

I sincerely hope you don't mean in combination. Otherwise, tasty choices. ;D

[Julian]

Not normally in combo, but if I've been drinking, all bets are off :thumbsup:

[xhaan]

That actually wouldn't be that bad, in the right proportions. Cheese and pickles go together, cheese and olives can go together, and pickles and olives can go together, and bread can go with just about anything.

[elsdfr]

tuna/cheese/salami (in that order) toasted sandwhich *drool*

[MintNut]

Anything Mint or choco-mint

[spiritdetectivegirl]

Salty snacks are my choice, things like chex-mix and the like.

[narusmummy]

Salted Popcorn! Mmmm!

[Zirka]

Anything that contains sugar.... preferably dark chocolate though.

[lordrrr]

Popcorn is my fav I'd say.

I also like Lorna Doones, Ice Cream, Oreos, Ritz baked chips and cherry passion tic tacs.

[nickasummers]

Cheese or anything salty. I used to like chocolate but I once tasted "real" chocolate, with no sugar, raw, and since then I haven't been able to eat anything very sweet because it tastes too sweet and I cant eat dark chocolate because it vaguely reminds me of the "real" chocolate. Not the greatest idea I have ever had, I must say.

[Rick]

Fresh baked bread, fresh boiled green peanuts, homemade cheese, and fresh caught shrimp.

Ectasy.

[Zirka]

nickasummers, where'd you get the "real" chocolate?

[drek996]

beef jerky, abba zabba, gummy worms

[Victor Tango]

Corn chips with hot* sauce.


*by hot, I mean HOT.

Vic

[HarleyQuinn]

Oooh...

Chocolate is my absolute one vice in life. That's assuming eating 'chocolate' is unhealthy in the face of other alternatives.

Fav. "snack" foods are as follows
1: Chocolate Milk (Drinks count... right?:undecided:)
2: Chocolate covered gummy bears! (Rarity though)
3: Milky Way candy bars
4: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream (Whoever said chocolate can cure all ills spoke the truth.)
5: Chocolate Oranges (Only during Christmas day though. Bless stocking stuffers)

*5 -- also the raspberry flavored ones

[narutofanninja]

spicy ramen. Yummy

[Marja]

Eh, caramel makes me throw up.

I like chex mix and any chocolate and peanut butter mix.

Anyone like buckeye candy?

Damn you, you're list has me salivating so badly but I can't have chocolate until easter (gave it up for lent).

[Solaris]

YES!

I haven't had those in forever. I have a cousin who always makes them at the holidays, but I haven't been home for them in years. :(

[Bear Warp]

Also,

Food Should Taste Good's Chocolate Tortilla Chips

and

Kettle Brand's Spicy Thai Potato Chips

[Gabrielle]

Anything that's edible. Right on!

[almos]

chips mostly

[SeaCzar]

Slightly burnt (not incinerated or ionized) Nestle Toll House chocolate chip cookies. Go figure.

[nickasummers]

Basically food in general although salty is better than sugary and the more cheese the better. I once ate real chocolate, the stuff with NO sugar at all, that you aren't actually supposed to eat straight up. It has absolutely ruined my taste for sweet food.

[elsdfr]

Apparently "real" chocolate is an appetite suppressant but they put chemicals in the commercial stuff to negate it (please note some random guy told me this).

[notoppings]

Jerky, all kinds but I really enjoy the ones with pepper the most.

[Arcani]

Pretzels. Any and all varieties.

[Nikita]

nacho cheesier doritos, cheddar & sour cream ruffles, cheddar stacked lays - these are road trip and studying musts, along with diet coke

[nat]

Dairy products. And chocolate. Uh, and potatoes. I mean, those processed potatoes.

[pure potential]

When I go on roadtrips, I'm always with (sour) gummy worms for my adventures. They are my guilty pleasure (as I don't each much sweets).

Hmm... snack food. Hummus is always a favorite munchtime pastime. OH yes.. and my favorite! Simply Almonds, Cranberries and Cashews from Trader Joes. Its my sweet treat!

[intellael]

Popcorn with spray butter
Nachos with Pico de gallo & guacamole

[ChanceEdwards]

I am a big time sunflower seed Guy

I think I like them because I feel like I am eating something but really it takes like an hour to eat a cup full...

Its an activity and a snack all in one...

Strange i know..

---------- Post added 06-10-2011 at 01:52 PM ----------

Oh Corn Nuts as well - They are very much underrated

[Uriel]

EoE

[chalice]

I have a thing for cookies. lol

with a coffee.

also brownies, ice cream and chocolate in general. strawberries with yoghurt or just an apple when I'm too lazy to make myself something for eating.

[ChanceEdwards]

I love sunflower seeds (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.)

There are dozens of great flavors and its both a snack and an activity

[Greatnloopy]

Do Gummy Bears count as a "snack" food?

[JulietCapulet]

I probably already posted this before but...

Doritos!!

[CCaCaCat]

Tostito's for sure.

But they MUST BE BITE SIZE! The original triangle shapes get crumbs everywhere and the larger circles always scrape the corner of my lips when eatin whole, eventually leaving them sore :(

[Warrior]

I don't snack a lot. When I'm hungry, it's usually time to eat a meal. However, beef jerky is good and the occassional protein bar isn't terrible either.

[Izurin]

Hot fries.

Or maybe any spicy chips in general...
Or spicy snack in general.....

[creativestrike]

DOVE CHOCOLATE!

Please forgive my outburst. Dove chocolate is simply the best thing in the entire world. I have a minor obsession.

...ok maybe a GARGANTUAN obsession. I LOVE IT :D

[MortalWombat]

Chips and salsa :lovestruck:

[dontmesswithme]

The best snack ever is sushi. I usually don't buy any, though, to save money.

Instead I eat things like banana chocolate-chip bread, or oatmeal chocolate-chip cookies. I love cookies. Having something with a bit of chocolate picks up my mood and energy level.

[Sprelious]

dark chocolate rules.

Agreed

[Reddkatz]

Dried cuttlefish. Soo good.

[CaelestisPeste]

Tim's Jalapeno Chips or Flaming Hot Cheetos.

[thehammer]

- Almonds and pistachios. Flavorings are acceptable, but unnecessary.
- Cheese. Any kind of cheese. I love cheese. Also includes cheese-flavored crackers/chips.
- Clementines.
- Apples.
- Peaches, my favorite fruit.
- Gardetto's Original Recipe mix and Mustard pretzels.

[omniblade]

Beef Jerky

Why? Taste and protein.

I have the nickname The Beef Jerky Supremacist.

[Cartman]

kitkats

[storm eyes]

Gummie bears straight from the freezer.

[Distance]

Ripe persimmons. Been hooked on them lately since they're in season. Kills any sugar cravings with a killer load of fructose!

[Subtle]

Beef Jerky--when I can find it. (I've made it myself once, with excellent result.)

[dissident]

anything sweet, anything chocolate. Candybarwise, the relatively hard to find nutrageous bar is on the top of my list, followed by the large peanut butter cups.

Ice cream, any sort of pie, rich chocolate milk, and home-made warm kefir made with whole milk top my list. Yogurt fares quite high.

To drink, I make kool-aid with neotame powder mixed in vegetable glycerine, glycerine because it's a natural preservative, neotame because it's the cheapest and most potent sweetener on the market. Literally a small squirt of the diluted neotame sweetens a whole gallon, enough to last years. Like to mix the pina/pineapple and another flavor. Also like the dye free kiwi flavor.

[anamnessi]

string cheese

[Bevan]

Sourdough pretzel nuggets. Salty, crunchy and lowfat.

[stealthfighter]

Dunkin Donuts

[deconspire]

sharp white cheddar cheese and townhouse crackers

[magnum]

Rice cakes and different variations of it.

Extreme: burger rice cake :D

[MuadDib]

I've been trying to switch my diet up for a long time and am just now really getting around to it. I was raised on a steady diet of soda, cheez itz and kids cereal. So, of course I love all the ol' classics. But my favorite go-to snack these days is definitely rice cakes (any flavor) dipped in almond butter! Mmmmmmmmmmm
