> [@Slow\_Moving\_Vehicle](#): > > Van Camp’s Pork ‘n’ Beans, cold out of the can. Love 'em. Driving from Wisconsin to Vermont in 1989, I brought along a large can of this as a traveling ration, along with an even bigger can of Chef Boy-ar-dee ravioli and a tin of Star-Kist tuna packed in oil. I also stopped somewhere along the way for a McRib. By the time I hit the NY Tollway, I badly needed to make a prolonged pit stop! 😰 And a tin of Underwood’s deviled ham was always in my knapsack when I played Army as a kid. The perfect C-ration! ---

I’ll eat Vienna sausages right out the can. Armour brand is right out though. ---

Velveta Cheese. Common, y’all know you love it. Also, my grocery store stocks a cheese spread that is basically shredded Mexican cheese, diced jalapenos and I guess, mayonnaise. Get some Ruffles (gotta have a sturdy chip) and go at it. ---

Bush’s Grillin’ Beans microwaved in a bowl with a spoonful of Publix Southern Style potato salad and a spoonful of coleslaw ladled on top. Very tasty! ---

> [@puzzlegal](#): > > For a more savory snack…i just bought a pound of chicken liver and a pound of bacon, and I’ll cut the livers in half, wrap with bacon, broil, and eat them like candy. I am coming over next time you do this! My guilty pleasure snacks that I can only eat when home alone is sardines, and herring (creamed, out of the jar I hid in the fridge). ---

> [@enipla](#): > > Velveta Cheese. Common, y’all know you love it. Velveta makes the best grilled cheese sandwich. I still love them. My favorite guilty snack is Sugar Corn Pops cereal straight from the box. I splurge a few times a year. I know it’s nothing but sugar dyed yellow. My more healthy snack is Pistachios. Unfortunately it’s hard to shell and eat only a handful. I tend to eat too many throughout the day. ---

Yep, Velveeta, sliced off the loaf, usually at night. I get called the cheese mouse. 😃 ---

I worked with a woman who had just debarked from Ireland. Her favorite hobby was making fun what _‘You Americans!’_ eat. Everyone decided that was a dare, and we’d try to top each other bringing in some atrocity, like Marshmallow Fluff and banana sandwiches on Wonder Bread. It was _so_ much fun, all because of her very loud, over-the-top abhorrence of our entire nation’s dietary habits. Guess what won? … > [@ChockFullOfHeadyGoodness](#): > > Also, Cheez-Whiz sprayed straight from the can into my mouth. ---

I rarely eat potato chips but once every year or two I make this chip dip my mom used to make back when I was a kid. It’s sour cream, cream cheese, cottage cheese and onion soup powder. By the time I finish it…I’m good for another year or two. I think maybe she had another ingredient I’m missing. Anchovy paste maybe? There was something she made with anchovy paste maybe not this. ---

Haven’t had it in years, but might be convinced to try it again, if I had the opportunity: Cool whip, still frozen, with M&Ms mixed. Actually what would be really good is Fruity Pebbles as a mix in, instead of M&Ms. ---
