You know what? I’m going to congratulate myself. The consensus view is that cheese is not junk food, so it turns out I’m eating healthily at midnight! Virtuous or what? :rolleyes: j ---

I always have cereal for breakfast. My wife says it’s junkfood, but I disagree. I was raised on the stuff. Other than that, nothing really at home. Now, I do normally keep crackers and granola bars in my office at work to supplement my lunches. ---

You’ll get my ice cream when you pry it from my cold, dead hands. ---

Beer Nuts Bar Mix; it’s honey mustard pretzels, sesame sticks and corn nuts ALL in one bag. Black Forest Juicy Bursts (gushers but they taste somewhat like actual fruit). Green River (lemon-lime soda, I hear it’s just a Midwestern thing). Dang, those three make me sound like a real kid compared to all you granola-eaters and corn chip-munchers. ---

Ah, if I buy junk food, then I’ll eat it. And I’m not exercising enough to work it off, so it’s best to avoid it. That said, in the winter, if I happen by a Trader Joes, I’ll fall victim to their candy/cookie aisle and go home with some dark-chocolate covered almonds and some ginger cookies. Lest I be mistaken for some paragon of restraint, I should note that I live a mile or two from a couple of very good ice cream stands and have been known to patronize them in the summer 🙂 ---

I forgot one. We recently discovered Werther’s Original Caramel Corn and we’ve kept a bag of it in the cupboard ever since. It’s popcorn covered with a crunchy coating of real Werther’s caramel. If you mix it with fresh roasted peanuts, it tastes like Cracker Jack of the gods. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/junk-food/823726.md?page=1)
