Junk food that is CRACK

Lots of things. Pringles sour cream & onion chips. Doritos nacho cheese chips.

Ice Cream increases the size of my crack.

These.

Cheetos. The melty quality makes you feel like you've eaten nothing at all, even when you've eaten half a bag.

Also, Haribo. Damn Germans.

Blue Diamond "Smokehouse" Almonds.

At $4.19 per 6 oz, can, crack from the Hood would actually be cheaper.

Caramel CRACKerjacks, of course. That crunch! That sugar!

To add to evil popcorn snacks, Crunch n Munch. Once you open the box, the box will be finished.

Cape Cod potato chips. I just can't ever buy them because I am not able to only have a few at a time

YES, r1!

I fully agree; those two are the MOST addictive junk foods. The only other one is Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

Yes, R7. That's actually what I had in mind.

R6

Fresh pectin jelly beans.

These

A second for the smokehouse almonds and the reeses cups - my contribution is Sheila Gs Brownie Brittle -- its amaaazing. All flavors.

Cheez-its

Haribo Ginger-Lemon gummies.

CRACK ,I TELLS YOU

I 've eaten a whole carton of these in one sitting.

Yes I'm a little overweight.

Pretty much anything Haribo. Also, any Milka brand chocolate. Goddamn Germans, indeed.

BUT! For those of us who don't care about our teeth or pancreas, Tangy Zangys. I am beyond middle age and still chow down on 7-11 candy. Twizzlers, Sour Soothers, Sour Patch Kids, all are manageable (I have no other vices apart from sugar, and yes, I am in a relationship). But show me a sack of Tangy Zangys and I am shitting turquoise and making dental appointments within twelve hours of consumption. I will make a stunning dinner of steamed halibut with spicy miso gravy, Belgian endive dunked into homemade olive tapenade, and pan-roasted root vegetables sprinkled with rosemary and rock salt....then I will hit the corner store for motherfucking Tangy Zangys for dessert. I cannot stop it. I'm going to get bowel cancer thanks to all the dye and sugar. But I SHOVEL this stuff into my mouth by the pawful.

Costco had a sale on a several-pound bag of the Blue Diamond Smokehouse almonds (I know, Costco, MARY!) I succumbed and I will NEVER do that again. I probably consumed about 15000 extra calories because I just could.not.stop.

I guess I snack like a high schooler, but have always like these.

Yeah, those Blue Diamond Smokehouse almonds are good. I can also eat a lot of lime Tostitos in one sitting. I don't like the jarred salsa, though (that's depicted on the bag as a serving suggestion).

Almost time for Trader Joe's holiday treat - Christmas Jo Jo's (Oreos with crushed candy canes in the filling)!

This made me giggle.

R17, how...vivid!

[quote]Possibly the most addictive substance man has ever produced.

Wasabi pea trail mix is spicy, salty and crunchy.

Twix. The crunchy cookie, the creamy caramel, the bite of chocolate, OMFG. I could eat a whole bag of these in one sitting.

Tastykake Peanut Butter Kandykakes. I keep the box in the freezer to deter myself but it doesn't work, I end up eating them half frozen (quite good cold). Available at your local Target or Dollar General.

Chocolate Corn Flake Cakes.

If you ever come to England eat these at your peril.

Most of these including the first 4 I could not gag down. To me, they are not crack, but recipes for vomit. Vile stuff.

Butter flavour Crunch n Munch. I cannot leave it alone.

G.H.Cretors caramel corn is fab.

So nominate your crack, Martin Berasategui at R32.

Oh, go eat a Brussels sprout and leave us to our fun, R32.

This

I like Lays Potato Chips.

Frozen egg rolls

Nutella

So that's how it is, huh? I'm good enough to shovel down your gullet but I ain't got one mention yet.

^^cock

You all made me so hopping mad I forgot to sign this doo-hickey.

These. Highly addictive. The secret ingredient: lard.

I was enjoying the junkiness of Ranch Flavored Fritos, but they seem to have been taken off the market.

Toss up for me: Lay's Potato chips is my number one. Plain old original potato chips. Second would be Pepperidge Farm Goldfish. Third would be Knotty's BBQ Pretzels from Whole Foods. They are absolutely addictive.

Oreos

Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies. YUM.

I gingerly suggest the Little Debbie stan switch to actual back alley crack, which is undoubtedly more delicious.

Tostitos tortilla chips with a hint of lime. I also liked sweet chili crisps a local supermarket had but unfortunately they no longer stock and sell them.

Also Salmiak licorice, black and with a high salmiak content. I don't eat it daily but I prefer the high salmiak from Scandinavian and central European countries. The lower salmiak is not bad but it is more sweet and I just eat more of it.

R50: I thought I was the only one who loved black licorice, though I have never heard of salmiak before. I'll look for it!

If you haven't tried this yet, you're missing out.

Really good doughnuts. And whoopie pies. If I lived full time in Ogunquit, Maine, I would weigh 500 pounds. Congdon's has the best doughnuts and whoopie pies I've ever tasted. Then, to add insult to injury, I would drive up Route 1 to Scoop Deck where the double scoop kiddie cone is more than a pint of seriously delicious hand made ice cream.

Whatever this is.

Mr Kipling's French Fancies. They don't just taste delicious, they LOOK delicious. If I let myself buy these frequently, I'd be obese.

Quadratini. You will eat half a bag. Vomit. Then eat the rest.

"...I am in a relationship. "

With Harry Bow.

I like the way r56 thinks!

R24 is right about the Welch's fruit snacks. I love those. Little packets must be rationed out. Reduced fat Pringles. Cheetos. -- especially the Cheddar Jalapeno ones Denali Extreme Moose tracks ice cream (the chocolate, on chocolate one) Turkey pepperoni Light string cheese- has to be the really dry/dense kind

It used to be potato chips for me. Old-age high blood pressure put an end to that.

I used to love potato chips but now I buy one of those 1 oz 50 cent bags and I get 3 or 4 portions out of it and sometimes just leave to go stale after one or two chips. I have no idea why I lost my taste for them, no matter what the brand btw. Now cheese puffs are another story. I can't buy anything bigger than the 1 oz. size or I will eat the entire bag. I can't get enough of them. I tried the organic natural ones made with real white cheddar cheese and no MSG and organic corn and those I can put down easily. The fake food ones with the MSG, the ones that turn your fingers and everything you touch orange I'm addicted to, so it has to be the shit in there.

Don't care for regular old potato chips. They only taste good on a wonder bread sandwich but if I'm having Lays, it's usually sour cream and onion, barbecue, or nothing. Cheez its are absolutely addicting too. Especially the white cheddar ones.

Reese's White Peanut Butter Cups. To die for!

When I was a kid, Twinkies were delicious. The cream or "creme" was fluffy. Suddenly, one day, they changed the creme. Circa 1983. It seemed way more processed, more "fake" and chemical.

Then there was the time Hostess went out of business in 2012. When it came back a couple years later, everything had changed. The names were brought back, but the quality dropped to make the snacks even worse than they were before!

Cape Cod potato chips. If I open the bag, I'll finish it.

Salt and vinegar potato chips are impossible to resist.

r64 Oh yes, they've changed a lot. And yet the addictive nature of the "New and improved" ingredients keeps susceptible people from abandoning then altogether.

Even junk food is now far junkier than all those "dinner-ruining" items of 50 to 60 years ago.

Jelly Belly

A list of snacks!

FAT WHORES REJOICE!

Doritos, bittersweet chocolate chips, pumpkin seeds

Ben & Jerry’s Milk & Cookies flavored ice cream.

For the life of me I can't figure out how people would settle for something so ordinary as peanut butter cups. If you're going to cheat, go all the way.

White chocolate rasberry is my favorite

I just gained five pounds from reading this thread.

Hershey's Kisses

Bacon

Chips & Dip

M & M's

Milky Way Simply Caramel Bars

Cashews

Fudge Ripple Ice Cream

Fudge

Jack in the Box tacos!

Utz Pub Mix. I used to buy it at Costco. Not sure if Costco still carries it.

I second many of the items listed so far, with Crunch and Munch heading the list.

But here's a healthy option that I suck down like crack. Pomegranates in season. Yes, they are a mess to eat.

But they're sooooo good.

So crunchy.

R78 - there are a few Swiss and Italian spring waters I like. Quite flavorful. I will make ice cubes with it, then carbonate it and drink it in huge Borosilicate glass tumblers. It's my healthy crack.

Double-Stuffed Oreos

Keebler rainbow/M&M cookies

Pringle’s

Ruffles

Doritos

Cheetos

Sprite

That’s why I’m so darned fat. If vegetables tasted like junk food, I probably wouldn’t have a weight problem.

R80, you make the fancy spring water into ice cubes and then add carbonated water/seltzer?

Chili Cheese Frito's

Taco Bell Double Chalupahs

I carbonate the spring water myself, with sodastream. I do this after I eat crap like potato chips of course.

r84 Of course.

These mother fuckers:

Cookies & Creme Pop Tarts. Out of the toaster, they’re like big, warm, gooey Oreos.

Gardettos

Sour Punch straws

Sugar Babies

Raisinettes

Mini Nonpareils

R78? Just—no, hun.

Pomegranates? With the tiny pieces dropping from the pith and falling all over the place, and seeds in the middle of each one?

On a thread about addictive junk food?

Andy capps hot fries. Terribly addictive.

R53, I agree about Congdon's but The Holy Donut up the coast in Portland has them beat. The chocolate sea salt potato donut. Sweet Jesus preserve us. Maybe it's the potato flour, but I can eat their donuts without feeling gross afterwards, which actually makes them even more addictive. Since they're hand made and not packaged in a crinkly bag or something, I don't count them as "junk food." That's the little deal I've made with myself, anyway.

For Canadians the ultimate "crack" junk" food is Cheezies.

Sea salt and malt vinegar chips. Australian black licorice (why is it called 'soft eating'? seems silly).

I will also cast a vote for barbeque potato chips, Reese's Peanut Butter cups, and black licorice. So many people hate black licorice. The other kids would always give me all the black licorice from their trick-or-treat hauls. But I have a special affection for Vlasic® Dill Pickle potato chips.

You haven't had bbq potato chips until you've had THESE bbq potato chips:

Not really junk food, but undoubtedly addictive...

Twizzlers

If I'm eating BBQ potato chips, I want Zapps.

Cheeze balls. The Z makes it clear that real cheese isn't involved.

Reeses Peanut Butter Cups

^^^^ this

Tate’s cookies

EatPastry Cookie Dough. Can't stop eating it. And it's vegan!

White pizza.

Poppers!!!!!!

R72, "cheat"? What is this cheat?

for me lately it has been Cold Creek horseradish aged cheese potato chips and peanut butter M&Ms - I sometimes run out to the deli on the corner to buy them

R102 you MUST try...

Umm where is the junk food at?? All this Trader Joe's peanut butter cups, white pizza, and hazelnut cookies from Italy. That's fucking Le Cordon Bleu. The pop-tart and Pringles people know what junk food is.

These...also in strawberry and mint. Junky enough for your local gas station if you're in the upper half of CA.

Lots of fatties on this thread.

I love to make homemade caramel (I use organic sugar, cream and butter, but it's still sugar cream and butter, so not healthy. I love to have it with maraschino cherries, with the stems and canned whipped cream. No ice cream. I'm not a big fan. Once in a while in the summer I like plain vanilla frozen custard, but usually no ice cream, just the sunday toppings. I like salt the caramel but I also like salted thin pretzels on the side and to drink, Diet Pepsi with lots of lemon juice. I need to have it all in the house, if one item is missing I don't eat any of it or I won't enjoy it.

I also love lots of mozzarella cheese and my homemade marinara sauce melted in the oven, a crustless pizza. I hate pizza crust and most kinds of bread. I do enjoy a nice fresh Saltine with soup though.

Lay's potato chips - the dill flavor.

Nutella.

Jalapeño Cheetos.

Original glazed, hot and fresh

These sour gummi octopus and their companion sour gummi worms are beyond my self control. Same for Spree candy and Nerds.

Mars bar and Snickers ice cream bars. A rare treat.

Pik Nik shoestring potatoes

All of taco bell

M & M mix (peanut, plain, pretzel, almond)

Nutella with honey-wheat pretzel sticks dipped in

BBQ potato chips

Ice cream sandwiches

Oreos and Chips Ahoy (once you start with 1 or 2)

Black and White cookies (the NYC kind that are really more like a flat, fondant-frosted cake). I should say crack and white cookies, and it would be more accurate.

Black Jelly Beans

Jelly Belly Jelly Beans, all flavors

Big Mac, Fries, and a Chocolate Shake

I LOVE the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups with the Reese's Pieces inside.

Off the market for a while now, thankfully. Salty-sweet-chocolatey trifecta of addictability.

I have a weakness for potato chips - to the point where almost any brand, style or flavor will do - but Hardbite kettle-cooked original chips are definitely a favorite.

Also, the boozy ice creams, such as Irish Cream, by Haagen-Dazs.

Nutty Butters.

Ruffles Potato Chips: Regular and All-Dressed (Croustilles Assaisonnées)

Whoopie Pies

Pumpkin Pie loaded with whipped cream

Red Velvet cake

Pumpkin roll with cream cheese filling

R114 Go away.

Werther's Soft Caramels straight out of the bag and into my mouth are good enough for me.

I like the one's with the chocolate and vanilla filling when I feel all gourmet fancy.

These motherfuckers. They are what I would imagine being french kissed by an angel would be like....

Magnum Bars (All Flavors)

Peanut Butter M&Ms

I have many times made my self sick cuz I can't stop eating the gorgeous multicolored chocolate peanut buttery treasures.

Bitches, your triglycerides and C-Reactive proteins are probably already through the roof....I hereby sentence you to a lifetime of celery sticks and poached carrots.

I have eaten a whole bag of bite size snickers. They're so good.

The gummy candy that's sour with sugar on them... different brands / shapes.

BBQ Ribs

S'mores

Milky Way Midnight Bars

Candy Corn

Deep Fried Turkey

Not all of you can get to a Publix grocery store, but if you can, treat yourself to this, the most chocolatey chocolate ice cream that was ever created en masse. I am a serious chocoholic, and it's almost too rich for me to eat! It is so thick that when you've finished the bowl, you're tempted to lick it out. Find it if you can.

oh I forgot candy corn...

Sorry, you need to click on the link at R137.

I can hear these things calling my name from another floor in the building, as if their call were a dog whistle for my taste buds.

R134 make sure those celery stalks are stuffed with either cream cheese or peanut butter.

R138 You gotta try Brach's Maple Flavored Candy Corn. It's the freakin' bomb !

I agree with whoever told r114 to go away - can you imagine living with that person? so obvious he or she is conflicted from the first paragraph

R14 What the F is wrong with you?

Oh my

CRACK

Ohana Brothers has the best potato chips I've ever had.

Peanut M&M's

Cape Cod Potato Chips

Trader Joe's Milk Chocolate-Covered Raisins

Pepperridge Farms Cookies - almost all of them

Oreos are100% straight crack.

r137 the whole Publix deli and bakery is like crack to me! I stop in every week to get my fix

Definitely jalapeno poppers!

I've become addicted to Chester's Flamin' Hot Popcorn as of late. And I don't even like popcorn!

McDonald's breakfast sandwiches.

R17 in case a less toxic version of sour candy is of interest:

Trader Joe's denizen of holiday cookies, especially a butter cookie with hazelnut-chocolate filling sprinkled with powdered sugar on top.

Tate's Cookies, especially the chocolate chips. I can easily eat the entire bag in one sitting.

R37 Whatever that is, it looks glorious. I'm not including chocolate as I don't believe it to be junk food in moderation. I rarely buy them, and only in small bags, but concur Doritos and Cheetos are crack. I treat myself when having a couple beers, as they sell them at my local hangout. I could see them as a serious challenge if I allowed a large bag of them to come into my home.

These

Pepperidge Farm double chocolate Milanos (dark chocolate)

Warm baguette or croissant with mountains of butter

Baskin Robbins chocolate chip or choc peanut butter ice cream

Lobster mashed potatoes and butter cake from Mastros steakhouse

McDonalds filet o fish and fries

(Yea, I type fat)

I have never tried those R157, but those look suspiciously like crack too!

They go great with beer!

The BBQ fritos are excellent to serve with chili on top.

Tabasco Cheez-Its aka hot & spicy Cheez-It = CRACKers

Zappa Voodoo flavor chips. They have a power over me.

I have released the Kraken!

anything salt and vinegar

r137 is that the chocolate trinity you're talking about?? to die for!

You blasted Dataloungers! I was sitting here perfectly content, relaxing and getting ready to go to bed. But after reading this thread, something got the better of me and I ran out to the corner store in this cold in my pajamas and grabbed a bag of white cheddar triangle popcorn thingies. I cracked open a bottle of Negra Modelo and crunched my way through the entire bag of popcorn thingies. Then I happened to turn over the bag and I noticed that the label said one bag contains five servings.

I'm addicted to Cheetos White Cheddar Puffs. They're from the Simply line of pure ingredients, so at least they're healthy for you.

O,' moi Cheetos! C'est Cheese!

Old school Ruffles and onion dip made from a tub of sour cream and a packet of Lipton's Onion Soup Mix, I make it about once a year and eat the whole thing myself. Boozy ice cream lover at R125, try the Haagen Dazs bourbon pecan praline, it is divine.

Doritos Poppin' Jalapeno

Reese's Peanut Butter Trees and Eggs

Macadamia Nuts

Baklava

I stock up on these every Easter at my local Target. They're practically orgasmic.

Trader Joe's dark chocolate-covered vanilla caramels and their lemon curd.

chocolate coated malted milk balls from Whole Foods

[quote]Boozy ice cream lover at [R125], try the Haagen Dazs bourbon pecan praline, it is divine.

Thanks, R170, I will try that. It sounds very tempting.

Black licorice - black jelly beans - black gum drops.

Only 180 calories per serving. I need to load up on these.

So good that ketchup or any other condiment just ruins it. The grease and salt is all you need.

A Childhood favorite

Tostitos rounds and queso / salsa

Trader Joe's peanut butter cups.

Are they superior to Reese's R181?

White cheddar popcorn Popeyes especially the cream cheese pies

Haagen-Dazs Coffee Ice Cream. My friend bought a pint for me last night and I ate the entire thing in one sitting (and I likely could have eaten a second if it had been available).

Original Spree - my #1 all time favorite

Mini Robin's Eggs (Easter malted milk balls)

The classic candy conversation hearts that taste like chalk

Lays Classic (plain) and Lays Barbeque potato chips

Smartfood popcorn

Dots

Runts

Nerds

Gobstoppers

Starburst FaveReds

Skor bars

Cream soda Dumdum Pops

Chocolate twizzlers licorice

Ruffles cheddar&sour cream chips

Fudgesicles

Peanut butter-filled pretzels

Goldfish crackers

I can consume a Costco-sized box of fruit roll ups (variety pack with strawberry, tropical tie-dye, and cherry-orange wildfire) in three days

Snack Factory-brand chocolate dipped pretzels with crushed candy cane bits on top

Lays kettle cooked salt&pepper potato chips

S'mores

Hostess orange cupcakes

Ben&Jerry's Chunky Monkey and Chubby Hubby

Bonus nostalgia entry: Vienetta ice cream cake dessert

Doritos once or twice a year just to remind myself that although they're (highly) addictive at first, they make your mouth and tongue feel gross for a couple days because the onion and garlic powder doesn't brush out with toothpaste or mouthwash

Another vote for Ben and Jerry’s Chubby Hubby. HELL NO to Chunky Monkey (bananas and walnuts?! Seriously! Blegh) — not at all comparable.

And another vote for Tate’s crispy, buttery cookies. Are they regional? I’m surprised it took 104 replies before they were mentioned. I just bought a package of the whole wheat dark chocolate ones. I’ll definitely eat half the package in a moment.

Cheez-Its, either original or white cheddar, are also almost impossible not to eat til the box is empty.

Surprised at the number of mentions of BBQ flavored chips. YUCK! That flavor has never appealed to me, and I don’t know why. It never really tastes like BBQ sauce-covered meats. It seems more like it’s own flavor combo. Heavy on the garlic and onion powder, I presume. Buffalo sauce flavored chips are a little better.

I also don’t get the obsession with Haribo. They seem more like something grade school kids would be into.

Forgot about these. A childhood favorite that I still love today, though I rarely have them. That wonderful malted flavor. (It’s what makes Chubby Hubby’s base ice cream so satisfying, by the way).

Sonics corn dogs with mustard.

I'm a grown gay man who secretly eats Les Merveilles. They're seasonal here in Switzerland so for this I am grateful.

Just think how great the world would be if all the junk food that’s been listed so far is really good for you—that it’s non-fattening, and doesn’t cause any diseases or health issues.

Life would be swell for all.

A list of inedible swill.

I don't think I have a crack, I despise sugar and sweets, BBQ chips and other culinary crimes, but I do eat pizza upon occasion.

::waves goodbye to R191 as he rides away on his high horse::

[quote]And another vote for Tate’s crispy, buttery cookies. Are they regional? I’m surprised it took 104 replies before they were mentioned. I just bought a package of the whole wheat dark chocolate ones.

I'm thinking they must be, r186, as I don't think I've ever seen them. Never heard of whole wheat cookies before! I've spent most of my life in the mid-Atlantic region. What area are you from?

R191 Snack chips and junk foods hardly count as culinary crimes. There are no aspirations to the culinary arts with this thread, or the posts, though there are a few fancier dessert items I don't think quite qualify to belong here.

Doritos - yum! Of course the MSG levels in most chips are off the wall ..

Pretzel Pieces Honey Mustard or Cheddar Cheese

Ina Garten has mentioned Tate's cookies. I think she uses them to make ice cream sandwiches, or something else she "just assembles. How easy is THAT?"

I'm a salt & vinegar whore

R193, I’m in NYC. They’re everywhere here.

Sees Candy toffee-ettes are pieces of toffee coated in chocolate and rolled in walnut pieces. Shamefully I could eat half of a can of them.

Also, peanut brittle. Or any nut brittle like macadamia.

Lilac chocolate sells some amazing chocolate covered almonds, and malt balls, at their counter in Grand Central Station.

R51 Salmiak licorice tastes good, but I buy it from candy sellers like Snyder's candy in Rehoboth beach DE which is owned and run by LGBT people, and they will send you samples if you ask for them, and they have coupons and discount codes. If you are in Australia, Amazon or eBay should have it.

R186 Haribo makes candies, and they are very popular in both Central Europe, and North America as the company has been around for almost a century.

I hate you all.

Ben and Jerry’s Chocolate Therapy

I will eat them all

Those cookie they give you on Delta airlines...so good

R185, next time you post on a public forum, take 75% off before you hit POST.

R189 nobody is buying them this year. I see them half off everywhere. A lot of the old favs have lost their appeal.

Dried figs, for me personally. I buy them in bulk on Amazon 6 lbs at a time and that only lasts me a few weeks.

[r177] OMG! I had completely forgotten about those. They used to sell them in the à la carte lunch line back in high school. I remember very vividly a girl I knew who would dig out and eat the caramel center with her hot pink acrylic nail like she was performing an autopsy. It always made me want one.

This was my crack as a child. I was devastated when they were discontinued.

Current crack for when I want to go on a peanut butter bender.

I became addicted to this last time I was in London. The pink frosting and cake pieces put it over the top. And the fact that the pints are bigger over there did not help.

Sugary cereal mostly, especially Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I can't just eat one bowl, I go through the whole box.

Also Lays BBQ chips and movie theatre popcorn.

R182 Yes. They're mini-sized, about the size of two chocolate chips, so very easy to eat a HANDFUL at a time. And the peanut is creamy, not chalky like Reese's.

GOD I WANT SOME RIGHT NOW

But the Trader Joe's peanut butter cups only come in dark choc, r181 r182, so I prefer Reese's milk choc. Can’t have Reese’s around me, or else they’re gone.

R216 Wrong.

Rally's Funnel Cake Fries

R217, Trader Joe's also has milk chocolate pb cups, and not just in the mini-size.

It's okay to be a crack whore, but please don't be a dumb crack whore.

Creme Savers Yogurt (5 flavors that I'm aware of)

Sometimes nothing is better than creamy peanut butter straight from the jar.

[quote]Sometimes nothing is better than creamy peanut butter straight from the jar.

Except 99% of the time.

R222, you're right of course. 99% of the time, crunchy NaturAlmond almond butter straight from the jar is better than creamy peanut butter straight from the jar.

Entenmanns holiday cupcakes with a glass of cold milk. So pissed they stopped making them and only sold in NJ NY area.

Well aren’t you sweet r219. Thank god the TJs near me only has the dark chocolate pb cups. Otherwise it would be game over for me.

I am as hopelessly in thrall to these as anyone has ever been to any other white powder. The dry, almost cold feel of the powdered sugar hitting my lips and tongue, followed by the soft, fatty, yielding cake. The puckered little hole that collects all the sweetness, which I eat around and save for last.

R226 Love these. They melt in your mouth.

Talenti Gelato is as good for the container as the contents. I store rice, tea, etc. in them.

Funny story about Entenmann's, years ago an acquaintance from Arizona said that back home folks thought that was considered food for Jewish people.

These darn things. I can only get them at one grocery store around Easter. I’m glad they only carry them for a few weeks per year, otherwise I’d be booking an appointment with Dr. Now. Addictive little fuckers.

I loved Trader Joe’s sea salt & pepper rice chips with cilantro chive yogurt dip. Both have been discontinued .......because Trader Joe’s is a cunt.

[quote]I'm addicted to Cheetos White Cheddar Puffs. They're from the Simply line of pure ingredients, so at least they're healthy for you.

I love these, too. But if you think the word "simply" and a little picture of a green leaf on the bag make it healthy, we’ll then you haven’t read the label.

Trader Joe's Blue Cheese & Walnut Dip is my crrrraaaaccckkkkkkkkk

^ oops, Pecan not Walnut

Behold, the glazed blueberry cake donut! In the past, I've made myself puke by eating more than one.

Drake's Yodels Ring Dings & Funny Bones

I don't care for most of the above, but a McDonald's double cheeseburger or a KFC original recipe thigh - now those are CRACK!

Does Popeye's count? Cause Popeye's chicken tenders and biscuits are crack, crack, crackety Jones!

r209 I love dried figs too, they are junk food disguised as health food! One serving is probably all the sugar you need for a week

Ben & Jerrys Wavy Gravy with the fudge swirls - discontinued but occasionally revived

R189 yes Fasnachtsküchli taste delicious!

When I lived in Manhattan I would buy mallomars as an essential snowstorm victual. But after the streets were cleared I could walk off the calories. Now that I live in the country I don’t buy them anymore.

These are like whoppers but with better tasting chocolate.

[quote]When I lived in Manhattan I would buy mallomars as an essential snowstorm victual.

There is nothing about this sentence I don’t like.

Mallomars as a proper noun should be capitalized.

MALLOMARS! as an imperious command should be all caps and followed with an exclamation point.

Diet Mountain Dew. I don't know why but it's total crack to me.

Marie's Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing used as a dip for Ruffles Potato Chips; graham crackers and milk mashed up in a bowl . . . used to pretend it was porridge when I was a kid

Costco pizza is great for anyone who likes their pizza with extra cheese.

Coconut Cream Pie

Scooby Snacks

TAtes chocolate chip walnut cookies. Aldi chocolate covered salted caramels and nacho cheese Doritos

To the powers that be: please discontinue Kettle Corn.

Dots candy, especially the strawberry and cherry flavor. I can eat an entire movie theater size in one sitting if I let myself. If I can't find them I'll take Starburst and lastly sour Skittles. I'm not a chocolate person. Only at home when alone I secretly adore lollipops.

R249 costco pizza is not good to anyone who likes good pizza.

Twix. Also in the US they sell these snack crackers that are like Doritos flavoured cheese product. SO gross and trashy but I love them. Every time I visit the US I eat them.

Oops I meant the crackers have a Dorito flavoured cheese filling.

Are you thinking of Combos?

No these are like cracker sandwiches

My mother generically refers to those cracker sandwiches as Nabs.

While under the influence of the Ganj:

Raspberry cheese cake

Bananas foster over good vanilla iced cream

Hot, roasted cashews

Minions and bbq pork rinds

Caramel covered marsh mallows, an infinite chew

Swedish fish, la ffy taffy, bito honey, raspberry bubbalicious

This thread is jogging my memory of all the snacks that I've forgotten. I used to love Lance's Captains Wafers, Cream Cheese and Chives

Good old fashioned Fritos, topped by sketchy off-brand jarred cheeze sauce and jalapeño slices. 30 seconds in the micro.

You all know know all of this is just chemicals spritzed on deep fried starches, right? A couple weeks ago I pulled up to the Jack in the Box window to pick up my Iced Tea with lemon. I had to remind the girl what I ordered since it wasn't ready. She turned around and grabbed a little plastic scoop and dumped some tan/yellow powder into the cup and filled it with water.

It had always tasted SO good i really thought their tea was fresh brewed. :( Et tu, Jack?

Wow reflecting on the junkfood I love I realise I need to get my shit together.

Let's all make a pact. I say we all turn our collective girthy backs on all this crap! Who's with me?

I just need to keep the fridge full of salad and since I'm so cheap I'll make sure I eat it before it expires.

I agree with the Cape Cod potato chips, the only negative is they are not good for late night sneaking because those suckers are loud crunchers.

Jay's Open Pit BBQ Chips...OMG...they are a terrible shade of orange but the BBQ flavor has a kick to it. You have to get the Open Pit kind, they are the best.

White cheddar cheez-it’s

I bought Tate's cookies a few months ago on sale at the Christmas Tree Shops. They were awesome. I actually intended to share with my sister, but they were gone in a heartbeat. I'm definitely going back for more!

Coca Cola.

I limit myself to one can a week in the summertime.

Bliss.

I’m the third to mention salt and vinegar chips. My own crack. And the quintessential crack version is this one:

I emailed Frito Lay to find out why I can no longer find Fritos Classic Ranch Flavor. Here is what they had to say:

[quote]Thank you for writing to us. We're sorry that Fritos Classic Ranch has been discontinued. Please know I'll share your request to bring it back with our sales and marketing teams for any future consideration.

[quote]There are several reasons why a product may be discontinued, but it is usually because there aren't enough fans like you buying it. Sometimes stores stop carrying slower-selling items to make room for other products. When this happens at too many stores, it's difficult to continue making and selling the product.

[quote]Thanks again for reaching out to us! I’m mailing a coupon to you and hope that one of our other snacks will satisfy your taste buds!

Once again, a product I love was canceled.

Speaking of Frito Lay, I wish they would bring back the original Nacho Cheese flavored Tostitos. Way better than Doritos.

r276 There was a chip Frito-Lay test marketed in Washington, DC, in 1991-93 that I thought of as being "better than Doritos." They came in a white bag with either a blue or red insert, which corresponded to Plain or Salsa flavor. They were white corn rather than Doritos' yellow corn. They were seriously the most addictive chip I ever ate, but I guess they failed the test marketing process, as they disappeared almost as soon as they had appeared.

I don't remember if they were Doritos or Tostitos or what. Does anyone else remember these?

I am not surprised so many of you have weight issues.

Doritos Tortilla Thins are what I was talking about in r277.

I am not surprised r278 has cunt-with-his-mouth issues.

more about Doritos Tortilla Thins:

Potato chips with onion dip

R280 types fat.

r283 types ugly.

But thin. Nothing ever tastes as good as thin feels.

Don't you have an OA meeting to go to, r285?

No, but clearly you need one.

Oh, you're that cunt who thinks the world owes you a blowjob.

R247 I understand. As a young adult in college before I started drinking coffee daily in my early 20s, during days when I had classes early in the morning and in early evening, or had projects or exams I would drink 3 cans of regular mountain dew a day.

Aldi is selling cherry stollen, Spekulatius, panettone, pan d'oro, Lebkuchenherzen, Hönigkuchen, and nürnberger Lebkuchen. I eat them in moderation, with coffee or tea and I am glad they sell these only one time a year.

Their Spekulatius cookies are awfully good R290. I think it's their best cookie.

Beer nuts Pepsi Hagen Daz Coffee ice cream

Does anyone remember those little frozen Morton's cinnamon-sugar donuts they sold in the '70s and '80s? Those were crack to me when I was a kid. When I stayed with my grandmother, she would toast them in her little toaster oven and they would be slightly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Yummy!

I have another one: Special K. protein bars. They’re pretty much candy bars packaged as health food. I cannot eat just one bar; these’ll have to wait until cheat day.

Mercifully, Starbuck's stopped producing Coffee Almond Fudge Ice Cream.

Heavy premium coffee ice cream with ribbons of fudge topping and chocolate coated almonds that had been salted before being coated.

I think I was found passed out, my face encaked with it.

Orange flavored chicken from Panda Express.

Sticky white rice

macaroni cheese balls

Aldi's has the very best white corn tortilla chips that I've ever eaten. Soooo fresh !

Deep River Aged Cheese Horseradish potato chips - very strong spicy taste - didn't like them at first but then got used to them and now, they're like crack

R274, thank you for contacting Frito Lay about that important issue. I can cross that off my list now. Totally kidding, here. I think it's awesome that you did that. I don't remember Fritos ranch flavor at all. I do like original Fritos and the BBQ twists.

Any crumb cake that is 75% huge crumbs and 25% cake. With a glass of cold milk.

Is there anything better than lemon cake with icing?

Pineapple upside-down cake

R277 Here is a picture of Nacho Cheese Tostitos. I loved them too and I think you and I have had this conversation on DL before. They were lighter than Doritos, so you didn't get lockjaw after a munchies session. I lived in Baltimore up until 1985, BTW. I am intrigued by Doritos Thins, and will have to try them, to the Doritos Thins-lover upthread.

Goldenberg's peanut chews. Molasses. Peanuts. Dark Chocolate. That is all. 3 simple, innocent ingredients when combined have super powers.

Coke, Diet Coke, Coke Zero, Peach Fresca, cocaine, morphine, weed, extra dark little schoolboys (the cookies).

Indeed, R307....with oranges.

Bitch. Why didn't anyone tell me about frozen sushi? Sushi is another one of my crack foods and now I can purchase this trashy fare from my local grocer!

R309 this thread is about JUNK FOOD that is crack

[quote] I am intrigued by Doritos Thins, and will have to try them, to the Doritos Thins-lover upthread.

r305, I don't believe Doritos Tortilla Thins have been available since 1994. I see there's something called Tostitos Chipotle Thins, which I plan to try if I can find them. Someone at Frito-Lay also suggested Tostitos Salsa Verde, which I believe I've seen at the store. The word "Thins" does not appear in that title, however.

Frozen sushi sounds pretty junky to me, r310.

Oh my, R311. I wonder if the Chipotle flavor taste anything like nacho cheese? Thanks for the info!

Chipotle should taste smoky, actually. I don't know how nacho it will get.

Lipton onion soup mix, mixed with sour cream and a bag of Fritos. It has to be Liptons btw, the cheap store brand isn't the same. Maybe they don't use as much MSG.

So much "Oh, Dear," in r315. Keep the Fritos separate, people.

Frozen sushi is junk.

R299 I like their blue corn tortilla chips and the white ones are also great.

R306 those look easy to make at home.

Make peanut brittle, with molasses, and cover in dark chocolate.

R319 Wouldn't that make them crunchy instead of chewy?

Geraldine’s cheese straws.

Perfect with a Bloody Mary made with Charleston hot and spicy Bloody Mary mix and garnished with bleu cheese stuffed olives.

I’ll also chime in for Lipton’s onion soup mix dip. Although I prefer plain Wavy Lay’s-they’re sturdier and hold more dip.

A perfectly respectable Swiss gentleman friend pays me handsomely to bring this back for him from my USA business trips. I'd say he's on the crack.

Also chiming in for good old Lipton's soup mix. My mom still bakes her roast beef with the Beefy Onion kind. Just dump a pouch over the roast, add a carrots, a little water and a bay leaf. It's quite good. Sorry that was a bit off topic.

Do you live in NYC R302? The farmers market has a stand that sells crumb cake that is at least 75% crumbs. I don't care for it but I always bring it to my friend's house when I visit. They love it. I find it at the Brooklyn Prospect Park farmers market or at the Manhattan City Hall market, but I'm sure they must be at 14th Street and/or others.

R323 that's how i've always made pot roast too but damn it smells like BO when its cooking.

Entenmann's Cheese filled coffee cake!

R326 You read my mind. My favorite is the All Butter French Crumb Cake.

Boozy chocolates with their glittery, tempting harlots' gowns of fool's gold and whorish red. They're expensive and they try to put on some pretense of being classy, but if I'm honest with myself they're just trash. And I love them.

Trader Joe's Jingle Jangle snack mix, available now (until they sell out)

Orgasmic

I felt diabetic shock coming on just looking as that snack mix. Will have to head to TJ tomorrow to see if they have any!

Hershey's Milk Chocolate Symphony Bars

Nobody said malomars yet? Hmm. I can't even have them around or I'll have an entire box.

Also, Easter candy is like crack to me - all of it. The eggs with the hard shells, the eggs in foil, the cream eggs, the chocolate bunnies, etc... worse than Halloween. Why is it so damn good. The crunchy shells on the small Cadburry eggs are laced with drugs.

Entemann's chocolate frosted donuts. Cannot buy them or will eat the entire dozen in 2 days.

My apologies for suggesting Trader Joe's Jingle Jangle. I don't think it's very good this year. The chocolate is trashy, too-sugary American chocolate. I threw most of mine out.

Darn, now I am craving BBQ potato chips. I'll have to pick up a couple bags in the morning. Op is correct, they're irresistible.

Graeter’s black cherry chip ice cream

Rice crispy treats

Strawberry Twizzlers

Saunders hot fudge sauce

Tried to score some Jingle Jangle recently, but it's long gone.

Ohhhhhh rice crispy treats. I forget about them. The holiday rice crispies are out right now, too. May have to make some.

Harry & David's Moose Munch

Target exclusive from B&J, Keep Caramel & Cookie On. I tried it the other day because Target gave me a gift card, and I keep finding reasons to go back to Target.

Mint Milanos.

Danish butter cookies

I'm trying super hard not to eat junk food but it's ridiculously difficult. For one thing, it's everywhere. For another thing, I'm totally addicted to all of it - it's crack to me. But it gets expensive (which is good), and it's not conducive to having a decent body (which is also good.) No junk for the past two days and it's insane. Getting sober was easier.

Things I have to consciously avoid when ordering out at casual dining places:

Coke, because diet coke from a fountain tastes like stale battery acid.

French fries. So many places pair it with half the menu. I have to force myself to say “salad, please.”

Any kind of fresh chips, like tortilla chips in an authentic mexican place or house-made potato chips. Truly CRACK.

Crispy and fried chicken in all its forms, including parm.

Cheeseburgers when they’re the best, most fool proof-thing on an otherwise dicey menu (think bar food, diners, unfamiliar places)

Gourmet pizza and “flatbreads,” which are just the same thing.

Adding bacon to burgers, or ordering things because they include bacon.

Appetizers generally. Spinach artichoke dip specifically. Also nachos (loaded high), or anything in a fried won-ton.

Dessert. Don’t get me started.

[quote]Cheeseburgers when they’re the best, most fool proof-thing on an otherwise dicey menu (think bar food, diners, unfamiliar places)

What DO you eat in that case?

Well, cheeseburgers, I guess. I’m not saying I resist these things entirely!

Oh. Good, r349.

Caramel sauce on vanilla ice cream. I could eat this combo until it came out my ears.

Chocolate ANYTHING!!!

I can't believe no one has posted these rare Kit Kat flavors =

Chili picante corn nuts

Holiday dark chocolate dunked peppermint Joe Joes from Trade Joe

Japan: a long, long way to go, r353, even for CRACK.

I've never been to Japan R355.

You buy them online & save yourself a plane ride (like eBay for example).

I vote for Pringles. It's easy to demolish an entire can in short order, not feel full from it and be willing to eat even more because they taste so damn good. For that reason, it's the kind of thing that is better not to buy in the first place.

If I eat enough Pringles, I hurt the roof of my mouth. So I don't eat them more than every five or ten years.

OMG yes, Pringles, and you really can easily scarf down a whole can without pause.

Chocolate-covered pretzels, which are all the best AND worst things about junk food all rolled into one: sugary, starchy, salty and fatty. And fucking DELICIOUS. The are particularly crack-like in miniature form, because you can scoop up several and shove them in your maw repeatedly before realizing how many you actually had.

Cheese flavored popcorn. Whole bag can easily be consumed in one sitting.

Trolli sour crawlers, I LOVE any sour candies. I miss those Regal Crown sours from the UK!

When I see them on eBay being sold by a US Seller, I wonder if they're very old stock.

Any boxed version of Betty Crocker's Scalloped potatoes or potatoes au gratin. I know they're chock full of sulfites, extra salt, and possibly other unhealthy ingredients, but when made with cream and extra cheese they are the epitome of comfort food crack.

Every once in a while I go on a Diet Coke binge. Normally I don’t drink soda because it causes bloat. But for some reason when I’m really thirsty, Diet Coje quenches my thirst more than everything. So I’ll drink it for about a week, then go back to non carbonated beverages.

R351, have you ever tried Mrs. Richardson's butterscotch caramel sauce in a jar? So good, you can just dip a spoon in the jar and eat it like that (without ice cream).

Keep going....

Do not get the butter toffee pretzels at Trader Joe's. DO NOT. They are highly addictive.

Buffalo chicken pizza. I know it's trashy but I crave it's cheesy, spicy goodness.

The butterscotch Carmel in r365 looks sounds AWFULLY good but I shall resist. I did however today buy two bags of the Bar-b-q chips.

R354 I like plantain chips with lime and habanero salsa.

R364 if you are craving soda but don't want to drink it, drink flavored seltzer instead.

Coca Cola

I want it, and I will have it.

Enjoy!
