Favorite Snack Food

**Solaris** · 01-06-2008, 08:36 PM

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** · 01-06-2008, 08:39 PM

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

**Solaris** · 01-06-2008, 08:53 PM

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** · 01-07-2008, 01:43 AM

I have a thing for cookies. lol

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

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** · 01-07-2008, 08:01 AM

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** · 01-07-2008, 10:42 AM

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.

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** · 01-08-2008, 11:01 PM

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

**danalaina** · 01-09-2008, 05:29 AM

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** · 01-09-2008, 08:42 AM

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.

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

Right on.

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

**PortInStorm** · 01-12-2008, 10:54 AM

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** · 01-12-2008, 11:25 AM

Bread.

I love a good loaf of bread.

**slut poacher** · 01-12-2008, 11:43 AM

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