What is your "junk food" weakness?...

[one_voice]

Donuts and guacamole for me.

*no, not together.

[mix]

1. How is guacamole "junk food"? nt

[Duer 157099]

2. When it's bought in a plastic tub at the store

imho. I've never met a store-bought guacamole that was any good at all, so I'd call it junk food.

Now doughnuts, that's another matter. I think they are part of a balanced diet. :D

[one_voice]

5. Never...

buy it in a store. I either make it myself, or get it from this fantastic Mexican restaurant near me.

mmmmm...donuts!

[nickinSTL]

33. you just have to find the right stuff

I've found one kind of guac (don't remember what now), that came in a plastic bag and had a plastic container with it, I believe, that was excellent.

[one_voice]

47. Once I had store bought..

guac...it came in a plastic bag. My sister bought it and didn't tell me it was store bought, and I have to admit it was delicious.

It was called Wholly Guacamole. They make a salsa too, that is to die for. Taste like fresh home made, as soon as you open the lid you know it's going to be good.

Here's a link...

4. Like this....

I know avocados have the "good fat" and are good for you...but I could eat guacamole everyday. I'll slice avocados for a sandwich which is also good.

[Duer 157099]

7. Yum to avocados, have to agree with you

Just sliced or smashed with some garlic powder on toast... oh yeah that's good stuff.

Agree about only eating homemade or restaurant guac. It's like an evil spell is cast over any guacamole sold in the supermarket, I have tried many times just because I couldn't fathom how not ONE store bought guac was any good, but it's true, none are.

[surrealAmerican]

42. It must have something to do with the freshness of the avocados.

I suspect that once you peel and mash them, they have a very short period when they will taste good. I have never been able to test this theory since avocados just vanish in my house after they're cut open.

[Mojambo]

3. Anything salty and crunchy

So, basically potato chips.

Which I'm not eating any more and I miss them EVERY single day.

[applegrove]

6. Donut holes and mcdonald's.

[Kali]

8. yes

all of it

have to be careful, don't eat it very often but I like it. all of it. grease and salt. yum

[ColesCountyDem]

9. Mickey D's and Taco Hell.

'Heart attack in a bag'.

:hi:

[one_voice]

16. My son is a pretty healthy person..

eats healthy, works out. But will eat the hell out of Taco Bell. He loves it. Though he doesn't eat it much. And he likes the Mc Chicken sandwich, it's only a dollar. Again, he rarely eats it.

[Richard Steele]

10. Quarter Pounders with Cheese. An amazingly satisfying overprocessed food-like product.

Yes, I'm old enough to remember when they came WITHOUT cheese
and you had to say the "with cheese" and pay an extra 10 cents
to get it.

And we LIKED it!

[Brickbat]

11. Cheetoes. I could eat them all day.

[one_voice]

17. I went through a spell..

well, I guess it was more than a spell since it lasted a few years, when I ate BBQ Frito's ALL the time. That was back when I had a working metabolism.

[femmocrat]

12. Chocolate candy.

I've cut most sweets from my diet, but I still can't resist a piece of chocolate!

[seabeyond]

13. i go thru spells. right now... peanut M & Ms. nt

[Seneca]

14. Little Debbie

From Collegedale, TN:

[Flaxbee]

15. maple-frosted donuts, french fries

Must be greasy but still crunchy fries: McDonalds' really are very tasty, and all the better that they're not cooked in animal fat.

[Old Troop]

18. Gotta admit I love Big Macs. Avoid them most of the time, but once in a while...

[flvegan]

19. Crispy Crowns

Tater tots that are less tater, more fried tot. Baked with a dusting of garlic powder and then dunked in Vegenaise.

Damn, I'm hungry.

[Chan790]

20. Chipotle...

Garden-blend burrito with the fajita onions and peppers, black beans, corn, cilantro-lime rice, guacamole and the tomatillo-green chile salsa. Where else can you find actually-vegan fast food that is widely-available? I just wish it wasn't 900 calories and cost $8.

One of the first things I do when I look at an apartment is find out where the nearest Chipotle is...if it's too nearby, I won't take the apartment because if I could walk to Chipotle I'd live there and weigh 800lbs.

[Patiod]

21. fries

damn them

[Skittles]

22. candy

[carlyhippy]

23. bean dip and fritos

[Mopar151]

24. devil's food Twinkies

Only made occasionally - thank God.

[Sheltiemama]

63. How have I not heard of these?

I have to admit, I love me some regular Twinkies. I can't imagine how good chocolate ones would be.

[struggle4progress]

25. Avocado sour cream enchiladas. I could scarf em by the handful.

Calamari caviar pizza was pretty good, too, but we ate it all up eight or ten years ago and nobody ever brought anymore by

[Dr Morbius]

26. Weakness? I have no weakness.

I am fond of the entire -tos group, including Fritos, Cheetos, Doritos and Tostitos. I like potato chips, pretzels, Chex mix and all things fried. I like spice drops, caramels and dark Polish chocolate. I like burgers, chili dogs, burritos (hey! -tos group!), tostadas and beef sandwiches. And ice cream. And cookies; did I mention cookies?

I stand 5' 11.5" tall, and weigh between 160 and 165 pounds, as I have for the last decade. How can I enjoy all the above and not weigh 300 pounds? Because while I do not embrace moderation in politics, I do in consumption.

And I like some fresh vegetables and fruits even more.

[grasswire]

29. oh god chex mix

I only make it during the winter holidays. I love it too much.

[Archae]

27. Bakery here too

Frosted long johns... :9

[Petrushka]

28. Snyder's Pumpernickle & Onion pretzel sticks with Rondele Pub Cheese (sharp cheddar)

[MrSlayer]

30. Pizza.

There is very little that is better than a fresh, right out of the oven, slice of pie. Extra cheese, pepperoni and sausage. So many great pizza joints in South Philly.

[jotsy]

36. Thanks, now I want a Corona, and it ain't even noon.

Not a beer drinker, unless there's pizza...or a hot tub.

[Biker13]

67. Me Too!

I never eat surgery stuff, or any chips! But pizza? I'd KILL for!

Every two weeks or so, Biker13 sees me going through withdrawal, and orders pizza, which is sweet of him, because he's a "full meal" man, and I'm a great cook, if I may say so myself!

God! Now I want a pizza!

Biker's Old Lady

[rrneck]

31. I'd eat rocks if they had sugar on them. nt

[XemaSab]

32. I have two major downfalls

Pasta and cheese.

Seriously, I eat pasta automatically. I don't even really LIKE pasta, but at the same time I am all over it.

Cheese controls me. I have a really hard time finding protein and flavor, and cheese just fills that vacuum.

God I love cheese.

Other than pasta and cheese, I don't really have a problem with junk food.

[nickinSTL]

34. chips and salsa for me

My preference is Tostitos Scoops and Newman's garlic salsa, but...I'll eat almost anything - as long as the chips aren't too salty.

[jotsy]

35. Barbecued potato chips.

If they're in the house, I want nothing else, tyvm.

[MorningGlow]

37. Donuts, Doritos, pizza, chocolate

ice cream, frappuccinos, cheeseburgers, fries.

I could go on. But now I'm making myself hungry.

[mtnester]

38. Little Debbie's Oatmeal Creme pies

yep, they make them in Jumbo size too sometimes

[Sisaruus]

40. I try to convince myself they're healthy because of the oatmeal in the name

[Seneca]

49. That's why they are a great breakfast snack

If it keeps that asshat Wilford Brimley away from my table, nagging me to eat my oatmeal, it is worth the sacrifice.

[mtnester]

59. When I eat them, I do the exact same thing

oatmeal = good for you

[Seneca]

61. Thanks a lot

I just got back from the store, and a box of 'em jumped into my cart. x(

[mtnester]

65. OMG that is TOO funny, I had to stop at a convenience store too

and you KNOW they are close to the register, and I reached for one and said "nonononononononon you will NOT have one" and I did NOT...but oh GOD I wanted one

[Seneca]

70. She's a foul temptress, that Little Debbie

True Story: When I was a wee lad, I lived just a short jaunt down the road from Collegedale, TN, where her evil little snacks are made. We lived near their outlet store. Between those and the Moon Pies made in nearby Chattanooga, it was all my mom could do to prevent my getting diabetes by Kindergarten. :-)

[Seneca]

48. See Post #14

I am not alone in my devotion to the Little Debster. :D

The Oatmeal Creme Cookies, the Fudge Brownies, the Chocolate Cupcakes... the Nutty Bars! My Top 4, in no particular order. Their cupcakes blow Hostess out of the water.

And yes, I love the giant-sized ones - which they have expanded to several of their products. Those were the size they used to be until they started shrinking them in the late 80's/early 90's. Kind of gives you an idea of how inflation has worked against product sizes - the 'normal' sized boxes have been around $1.00 - $1.30 for 20 years now, lol.

[MorningGlow]

54. OMG I love those

They are SO bad for you (the saturated fat is practically off the charts) but they are greasyfattysugaryfantasic. I have one about once a year. :9

[mtnester]

60. That is all I eat them also

just good for a couple times a year, like White Castles.

[Sisaruus]

39. This month it seems to be bagel chips.

Next month it is likely to be something else.

[TK421]

41. these frigging things

there are only three places I know of that carry them around here, and they are like crack cocaine ( not that I've ever had crack cocaine or have any idea what it is like )

[Phentex]

43. I've never seen that....

is it like a cheeze-it?

I love anything made with cheese or artificial cheese-like flavoring. :)

[TK421]

45. the outside is kind of a light, crispy waffle type thingy ( hard to describe )

the filling is cheese..almost like combos, but much better

these things weren't always that hard to find

[one_voice]

50. I remember those...

my mom used to buy them. They're good! I remember the bag being a dark orange. Very addictive.

[TK421]

55. yes...and I think you're right in that they changed the label n/t

[Roon]

44. Medical edibles

I live close to a dispensary that makes the best edibles I have ever had in my life. $10.00 for two treats and you are very nicely medicated.

[CBR]

46. Buttery popcorn and hot dogs... nt

[libodem]

51. Cheeseburger

[cherokeeprogressive]

52. El Pollo Loco BRC burritos.

[OhioChick]

53. Lays BBQ, Funyuns.....anything salty.

:D

[MrScorpio]

56. Pizza

Cheap or fancy, it's pizza

[sarge43]

57. Potato chips. n/t

[foxfeet]

58. Malasadas.

Portuguese (via Hawai'i) donut holes, sort of.

[Zavulon]

62. Andy Capp's Hot Fries.

I know of only one store that sells them locally, and whenever they have them (which isn't often) I just buy them all.

[OhioChick]

66. Those are so good....

I'd even take the Cheddar ones if I could find them around here. No one sells them anymore. :shrug:

[TheCentepedeShoes]

64. Homemade nachos

Tortilla chips covered in shredded Crackerbarrel sharp in the nuker at 80% for 1 min

[guitar man]

68. Tobasco flavored slim jims

Gawd help me, I love them so :(

[Mike 03]

69. Much appreciation for this question

I never used to care about food, but over the past year and a half, I more and more am turning to food for comfort. I have no clue why, or what is happening. It scares me a lot.

[GoneOffShore]

71. Bubble tea with whole milk, coconut flavor.
