Mint flavored life savers. Baby dill pickles. Craisins. Nachoes. Cucumber slices. Clementines. Those are some of my favorite snackies. ---

At this moment Pepperidge Farms Goldfish, when they are finished it will be something else entirely, it may even :gasp: be something healthy… ---

Circus Peanuts. I can put away a bag of those in a day. I had never had Circus Peanuts until Dopeaween but now they’re my favorite sugar snack. I can’t get enough of them. Thank god they’re only 97 cents a bag. At least my addiction is cheap. ---

The **Chip Sandwich**. Mmmhmm. Potato chips and Helluva Good Onion Dip between two pieces of bread. ``` Oh, don't act like you wouldn't like it. ``` ---

For the health nut in me, thinly sliced cucumber with rice vinegar and a dash of salt. For the hedonist… chocolate covered pretzels!!!, uncooked ramen with hot sauce, salt and vinegar chips with ketchup, and/or my good friend Stoli are all winners. ---

The most unhealthy snack of all - the British Chip Butty. A sandwich made with bread thickly covered in butter (New Zealand is my preference), and hot chips (thick cut fries for the North Americans), with plenty of salt and vinegar sprinkled on chips. Preferably include a layer of corned beef. Leave a coupla minutes till butter and corned beef start to melt Coronary time, but yummy. ---

Ohh, chippie butties! It’s really good with those overcooked bits that are nice and crunchy. My other favourite is a hot fried egg, thinly cut cheese, chilli and garlic inbetween two thickly cut pieces of lightly toasted bread. ---
