Ah, cherry season. Bit of a drain on my pocketbook, but at least it’s healthy.
There’s also grapes, cucumbers with ranch dip, popcorn, and chocolate covered almonds.
Yours?

Chocolate. I am addicted to it.

Grape tomatoes.
Cherries.
Blueberries.
Plums, nectarines and peaches as they are coming into season.
Also wings or fried sliced polish sausage. I swear I could put away a pound and a half without so much as a thought.

Ditto on the small tomatoes, fruits (I’ll add watermelon), chips, and dips. Also, scrambled/fried eggs. For some reason it’s like eating air (but very tasty air!) to me, and only if I add grits do they seem to fill me up. I’ve eaten about 10 eggs at breakfast buffets before without feeling full.

Pistachios. Pretty much any nuts really but pistachios are my favorite.
Every once in a while I can binge pretty heavy on ice cream. I won’t eat it for months but when I get a hankerin’ I can eat a half gallon without blinking an eye.
Popcorn, but only at the movies. Then it’s one big blurry hand to mouth motion. I do not share popcorn!
Pizza. I can easily polish off a medium (if it’s thin crust, which I prefer)at one sitting.
I wish I liked fruit as much as some of you healthier sorts!

Cherries, too. But now i pay attention–I broke a tooth on a cherry pit a few years ago.
Watermelon
Ruffles sour cream and onion potato chips
Ruffles original chips with Borden’s sour cream and onion dip
Hanover honey mustard onion pretzel bits

Oh, cherry season. The inevitable gastrointestinal distress after a cherry binge is never enough incentive to moderate my cherry eating habits. Second place would probably go to clementines, when they’re in season.

Peanuts.
I once ate a kilo in a single sitting (then was extremely sick for a day afterwards).
Last time I ate them in front of my brother he was horrified and told me he thought I was exhibiting signs of some weird compulsive mental illness.
And if you give me a bag of [these](http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/gb/groceries/kp-jumbo-spicy-chilli-peanut-180g?langId=44&storeId=10151&krypto=lrcV%2BZnXEILMNqPS%2FoTNhkX4glEabtABuzq%2FIaHC1HLANp%2B4R5O%2BCEyxk8O85ZQ%2FLz6Kd0J0fMF0%0AX472N0yof6CyWZGOjAUzbY9Vp8FWhLirzlALM97%2BhumwVpXmnWbt&ddkey=http:gb/groceries/kp-jumbo-spicy-chilli-peanut-180g) I will wish I had a hopper attached to the top of my head so I could get as many into my mouth as possible and as fast as possible without using my hands.

Skinny Pop is stupid good. When we have movie night at home and eat popcorn, two adults and two kids can easily kill one of their giant bags.

To go with a restaurant product, I find 5 Guys French Fries about as close to an addictive substance as I care to come.
As for home, I no longer keep potato chips in the house, as I find myself refilling my bowl time after time. Doesn’t matter the brand, just plain old salted chips…

Pringles, goddammit! Especially the cheesy and paprika kinds. Can’t stop until the cans are empty. :mad:

There’s an Indian buffet restaurant near my in-laws that has kheer (rice pudding) on the table that I can’t stop eating. It’s flavoured with cardamom and I swear if I could get away with it I would just put my face into the tray and eat my way down to the bottom.
also, cherry tomatoes. I’ll eat a container of those in one sitting and not bat an eye.
ETA: Potato chips. I try not to buy them, especially those Kettle yogurt and green onion ones as they will be gone,gone,gone.

A funny thread to read while I nosh on Raniers–it’s everyday for me while they’re in season–too short a season!!
Ditto on any white cheddar flavored popcorn and polish sausage.
Plain chips with french onion dip. I can’t buy that stuff.

Anything that I’m eating while watching TV. Hand-to-mouth is on auto pilot, and I don’t stop until there’s nothing left.

My emphasis.
Bowl? Bowl? Don’t need no stinkin’ bowl!
Re binging on cherries. They WILL turn your poop black, so don’t be alarmed–you do not suddenly have colon cancer. (But if you think you do, I can recommend one doctor’s [office](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=18467096#post18467096)that you don’t want to visit.)

Ice cream, if it’s one of my favorites. I will sit there holding an empty pint of Ben and Jerry’s without a clue as to how it got so empty so fast.
Pistachios. I buy a handful of pistachios out of the bulk bins every shopping trip. Any kind of nuts, actually. There go the cookie ingredients.
Lay’s Lightly Salted chips - wafer thin potatoe-y goodness.
Cherries! Even if they are $6 a pound. (they say cherry juice can make you sleepy, I wonder if that’s true because after a sweet cherry binge, I was dragging around the house like I’d sipped on a bottle of Zzquil.)
Sweet corn on the cob, hot, cold, three days old.
Cold meat in the refrigerator, leftovers, like spiral ham, chicken, pot roast. I don’t eat much meat, I cook it for others, but sometimes it calls out to me in the middle of the night and - well, there go my plans for a leftover meal for us the next day.
