Default Favorite Snack Foods!

So, what's everyone's favorite snack? I've been really addicted to raw sliced almonds lately. I know it's a weird one, but they're so damn good. I'm sitting here with a bag right now, and a disturbing amount are already gone.

Someone must be stealing your almonds as you surf the ledge.

Have you ever seen a stoner's favorite snack food list? It looks like this:

Sunflower seeds - Giant's Salt and Pepper preferably
Trader Joe's vegetable potato chips
Whole Foods stars fruit candy
Andy Capp's hot fries
Kruncher's Jalapeno
Smoked almonds
Reese's peanut butter cups
Whatchamacallit bars
Green apple fruit twists (looks like licorice, tastes like apple. nom nom.)
SLURPEES
Cheez Its
WHEAT THINS! (LB knows it too.)
Laffy Taffy (no banana!)
Golden Oreos

Yes, I have cheese whiz pumping through my body instead of blood by now.

I'm going to stop now, as this list could easily be three pages long. Especially if I included fast food items - Taco Bell Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes, I'm looking at you. And actually, my absolute favorite snack food is really my homemade guac and good tortilla chips - not Tostitos, the good'uns you get from the Mexican grocery store (with a Mexican Coke. NOM NOM.) - I make really excellent guac.

Oh my god. Such a good list. I love it all, but I bolded particularly wonderful ones. Reduced fat wheat thins, though. So much better than original.

My unhealthy choices...

Zebra Cakes
Those ridiculous brownies WF sells.

Raw almonds
Lightly salted peanuts
Cashews
(that said, I really don't like "Mixed Nuts"...I like each variety SEPARATE...no, I'm NOT OCD!!)

POPCORN!!!!
CARAMEL CORN!!!!! (including "Fiddle Faddle" & "Cracker Jack")
My own homemade quesadillas (yes, they're considered "snack food")
Peanut Butter & Blackberry Preserves sandwiches
Cinnamon Raisin English Muffins drenched in melting butter and slathered with Blackberry Preserves
Any leftover pizza
Sliced Pepperoni
Sliced Dry Salami
Baby Carrots & Carrot Sticks (dipped in Ranch Dressing)
Cauliflower & Broccoli (dipped in Ranch Dressing)
WATERMELON!!!!!
Oranges/Tangerines/Tangelos

Trader Joe's Chocolate dipped frozen bananas
Trader Joe's Strawberry Fruit Floes (popsicle type things made from real fruit)
Trader Joe's windmill shaped almond sugar cookies
Trader Joe's Strawberry "newtons" ("This Strawberry walked into a bar....")
Chips Ahoy chocolate chip cookies
Oreos (yes, Trader Joe's "Joe-Joes" will do...as will the Hydrox oreo clones)
Ranch flavored Doritos (although consumed on only rare occasions)
Mission Tortilla Strips (w/Trader Joe's salsa)

(yes, I'm addicted to shopping @ Trader Joe's)

And, now we're in the "candy" section of the "snack food" aisle:
Red Vines
Twizzlers Bits
M&Ms (peanut)
Kit Kat bars
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
Three Musketeers Bars
Hershey's Symphony bars
Milk Chocolate Almond Clusters
Milk Chocolate Peanut Clusters

(can you tell I like chocolate & peanut butter together??)


I wonder why I have a weight problem??
I wonder what this list would've looked like if I'd still been a stoner??

Me, my family, and even my cockatiel (yes, he begs like a dog for snacks and even demands to be hand-fed) are big snackers and here's a few I enjoy.

Oreos (any type will do)
Archer Farms (it's a Target brand) buffalo wing chips
M&Ms (anyone try the new pretzel ones)
Kisses (too many types to list)
etc.

Pretty much any type of salty or sweet type of junk food or chocolate (except for dark chocolate cause that isn't real chocolate in my mind) will do

ZEBRA CAKES.
AND NUTTY BARS.
AND STAR CRUNCH.

I'm with you on the reduced fat Wheat Thins.

And Chili, popcorn on your list reminded me of something I really shouldn't have forgotten since I've eaten six bags in the last week - POP SECRET HOMESTYLE POPCORN. The only microwave popcorn I eat. It seriously gets better with every bite.

Also, although it's not technically a "snack" and more of a meal, I should probably own stock in frozen Jack's pizza.

If Oreos top your list, you need to bring these cookies into your life. They taste better, they're better for you, and they're cheaper. It's like Jesus waved his magic hands over Oreos and said enjoy. They're.that.good.

I just put it up there cause it just struck me first in snack foods cause my mom buys them all the time. I know there's a Trader Joe's by me, but I just never liked it. I'll keep my delicious processed junk food, thank you very much. Oh yeah, and the fact that you said they're better for me turned me off lol

Also add to my list all kinds of chips, ranging from Costco-sized bags of Kettle chips to Dorito's. And for special family gatherings, we do get 6-layer dip from Costco. Now that is some killer stuff.
