    Because our culinary theory seems to be based on suicide pacts?

    I mean, we invented FRIED BUTTER.

    I'm all about bagel bites when I'm having a pizza craving and know if I order a large pizza I'll eat the whole thing.

    But my dad is a sick sick monster. He'll buy a small pack of peanuts usually spicey and a diet coke and then proceed to pour said peanuts into the coke and drink it. I mean I know it's all going to the same place but it looks so awful. He claims it was what all the cool kids did when he was growing up.

    I think I spied a respectable offering in Trader Joe's, only $2/bag. Have to try those out.

    I read about that shit in a Gary Paulsen book as a kid. Still sounds weird as hell.

    Yeah, that seems to be a thing. Several guys at work that are 40+ do this. They'll empty salted peanuts into a Dr. Pepper can. Bleagh.

    So when they get to the bottom do they eat the peanuts? Or do they just leave them in there like ice cubes or something?

    I don't know, really. It sounds too gross to find out. I have an issue with solid food being put in something that is supposed to be a drink. It's why I think a lot of Asian beverages are gross, especially bubble teas. A girl at work used to come in with jellied tamarind slurry, and drink it with a straw. It could not have been more horrifying. Although my wife works with a guy who buys imported shrimp-flavored soda from China.

    Not quite a snack food and more of a spur-of-the-moment treat, but I like to fry up a banana in a little skillet with some butter and brown sugar. Some amaretto if I have any, and a little vanilla, with some cinnamon sprinkled on it. When the banana is good and floppy, I stick it in a bowl, scoop some mango ice cream on top, and drizzle the stuff from the skillet over the top (which should make a nice, thick syrup once the sugar has caramelized). The whole thing takes, like, 10 minutes start to finish, so it's snacky enough that I can bust it out on a whim.

    Oh, and pita chips. With either salsa or hummus. (Note: this is a separate thing, not something I eat with the banana/mango thing.)

    Second on the pita chips.

    Why can't I find flour-based tortilla chips anymore? They used to be everywhere. They're delicious, and now I just have to make them at home.

    My grandparents always had a can at their house. I can't find them anywhere though.

    Ditto; cheese balls are one of the great memories of my childhood. Although I think that my great grandmother often made them herself: I'm guessing they must have been more of a thing back in the day.

    The peanuts float for the most part, and my dad eats them as he drinks the coke. I mean I like peanuts and I can drink anything while eating them, but mixing the two is questionable.

    My favourite snack food beyond the odd chocolate chip cookie is this humble goodness:

    Pizza Bagels, not very big, that look like these.
    I like them with some root beer, diet coke or sugar free iced tea.

    I could just nom on feta cheese or parmesan shavings.
    edit: or gouda or yummy pepperjack or jalapeno chedder. Basically I like cheese.

    I recently found out that my wife's egg salad is an amazing topper for whole grain Ritz crackers.
    I just sat at my computer watching One Piece and eating those for an hour.

    I eat the wheel in thirds. I can't understand why I don't weigh 300lbs.

    What is that white cheese called? I enjoy a good sharp cheddar myself.

    I think it's brie.

    "Brie Quest" initiated.

    It says in the picture link, it's Camembert. I've had it once but was too intoxicated to remember what it tastes like.

    [...]

    Edit: After a little cheese research apparently Brie and Camembert are very similar.

    Yeah, it's Camembert. Camembert is basically a mild version of Brie; it's got more of a buttery taste. Tastes great on its own or in sandwiches or deep fried. Or in a deep-friend sandwich.

    (...I'm from Glasgow.)

    Works well in omelettes too, though I recommend Brie for that; you kind of need the stronger flavour.



    Also, I can never be allowed near these:

    The best candy ever to exist: sour gummy cherry coke bottles. You can get them at some candy shops or as I do, bulk over the internet in a 5 lb bag. Eat a little bit at work in the afternoon every day.

    Also good:
    Dole mixed fruit in black cherry gel
    Peanut/peanut butter M&Ms
    Cool ranch doritos
    And a recent house favorite has been mozzarella string cheese
    As other people have mentioned, sour patch kids and frosted animal crackers.

    This one is sugar-free, and decently priced.

    The only place that has comparable price is Costco, but the kind they sell has like 6g of sugar per serving which is insane.

    I go insane when I road trip. My self control is out the window, and my favorite things are:

    1) Hoop cheese, or butter cheese - It's this homemade cheese sold in little saran wrap self serving packages that you buy with a little thing of saltine crackers. It's all greasy and awesome

    2) Beef Jerky, Slim Jim's, and Meat Sticks

    3) Combos, always cheddar cheese pretzel or nacho cheese pretzel

    4) Icee, either coke or coke mixed with cherry

    5) Those chocolate creme filled cupcakes sold in packs of two.

    -Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
    -Peanuts (preferably honey-roasted)
    -Beef Jerky (need to get hold of some soon)
    -Gummy candies
    -Those ice pops that come in those plastic tubular bags that were already posted earlier (especially the blue ones)
