I forgot about [Snyders honey mustard and onion pretzels](http://www.snydersofhanover.com/products/pretzel-pieces/honey-mustard-and-onion.html). These bad boys alone probably account for 10% of my body mass. They seldom last the time it takes to drive from the store to home. ---

Smartfood Popcorn. Real Hawaiian potato chips (from Hawaii – I forget the brand). :eek: ---

> [@nightshadea](#): > > heh dele taco makes them now … I’m kinda surprised it took them so long. Carne asada fries basically exist because most San Diego taco shops also serve burgers and fries just in case there’s one person in your party who doesn’t like Mexican food, and someone at some point got the bright idea to order a super nacho plate but with fries instead of tortilla chips. Del Taco has had burgers and fries on their menu forever, so you’d think they’d have come around to the idea sooner. (I never ate at Del Taco but once or twice when I lived in San Diego, though - I always just went to Taco Bell when I wanted Mexican food but couldn’t afford to eat at a taco shop.) Also, according to their website, their version of carne asada fries weighs in at a measly 810 calories and is barely a quarter of the size of the carne asada fries any self-respecting taco shop would serve up. ---

I will keep eating cherries until I explode. Luckily this year wasn’t a great one locally for cherries and they were scarce and expensive. ---

Chick-Filet chicken biscuits–absolutely crack. So much so that when work does a fundraiser with them, they run out quickly. Big money maker ---

A comedian (Louis Anderson?) about Nestle’s “Almost Home” soft cookies: “They’re called that because that’s as far as they usually make it.” ---

These bad boys alone probably account for 10% of my body mass. They seldom last the time it takes to drive from the store to home. 🙂 I never heard of these until we had to come into work over the weekend and fortified ourselves with snacks. A co-worker brought these in and now another co-worker is addicted! ---

> [@Cardigan](#): > > I forgot about [Snyders honey mustard and onion pretzels](http://www.snydersofhanover.com/products/pretzel-pieces/honey-mustard-and-onion.html). Man, I love those things, but by the time I’m done, everything around me is mustard yellow. ---

> [@teela\_brown](#): > > I will keep eating cherries until I explode. Luckily this year wasn’t a great one locally for cherries and they were scarce and expensive. I grew up with a mature Bing tree, and the week or so we camped in it, trying to out-eat the birds, was the best week of summer. If there’s anything tastier than a sun-hot cherry ten minutes from being overripe, I don’t know what it is. ---

Tacos My wife will make them for dinner and I will stop eating them when we run out of supplies. If she would cook up 5 lbs of burger and had 5 lbs of cheese and 50 taco shells then that’s what would be consumed. Luckily (or not) she controls the damage buy limiting supply. ---

Lickety-Split, the local soft ice cream truck. It is known as the crack of soft ice cream. People stop their cars when they hear the tune. You always have to wait on line, but nobody complains. People come out of their houses in pajamas and bare feet when they hear the tune. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/culinary-crack/759646.md?page=1)
