I just finished eating my 8th Eggo waffle. The only reason I’m not eating more is because there are no more. I think I could easily eat eight more and still not be full. I’ve been known to eat an entire box of Life cereal in one sitting and still be hungry afterwards. What food never fills you up? ---

Popcorn and pretzels. They’re “healthy” snacks for a reason, I tell you. ---

Food didya say? Hmmm…nevermind what I was thinking. Just finished a half a bag of Cheetos. Too lazy to go get the rest, but I could eat 'em for sure. Actually, popcorn does fill me. But it takes a damn large bowl. Same with pretzels, then again it could be the beer. Surprised no mention of those little styrofoam-like rice cakes. Although, I can’t see anyone really trying either. ---

Pop Tarts, most cereals (keep me away from cinnamon Life) Wheat Thins are also terrible. ---

There are those who have tested these limits, and we know there exists no such food. ---

Popcorn Shrimp I once ate 15 tacos. My mom just kept handing them out. ---

Egg salad – which is why I don’t eat it anymore. ---

Those little tiny egg-or-whatever-salad sandwiches you get at buffets or at cocktail parties. You know, the rolled-up ones with the olive or gherkin in the middle, sliced and laid out all pretty. I can eat dozens of those - maybe the equivalent of several sandwiches - and still have room for the shrimp cocktail ring. ---

Pringles. I have to buy the small cans (even though they aren’t at all cost effective) because I can eat thousands of the damn things. I think they cease to exist in the stomach, thus allowing an infinite consumption. Tool of Satan, I tell ya. ---

**Titan2** I know exactly what you mean about Cheese Puffs. It’s a bitch trying to stick to a diet when there is a multipack within 300 miles of me. I have to wear blinkers when I go to the supermarket. Hehheh. ---

Melon. I can eat half a melon and not be full. ---

Pizza. Sometimes I can sit and eat 10 slices. I can’t get enough of it’s deliciosity. It does make me full, though. ---
