For me - Goldfish. I do stick to the yellow ones, though. Have you seen those giant boxes of Goldfish at Walmart? Damn! ---

Mac and cheese from a box. I can, and usually do, make it from scratch, but sometimes only the box will do. Twinkies, as well. ---

Instant Jello butterscotch pudding. I almost never buy it. But I’m always tempted. ---

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? > [@mixdenny](#): > > For me - Goldfish. I do stick to the yellow ones, though. Have you seen those giant boxes of Goldfish at Walmart? Damn! Goldfish is like the one thing I love to eat that I can’t get in my country. Anyone I know who’s been to the United States is legally required to bring me Goldfish. ---

Popsicles. Last night it was Creamsicle knockoffs, the fake orange flavor with the vanilla ice cream center. ---

> [@Alessan](#): > > Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? Oh yeah! Add chicken-noodle or tomato soup, and a handful of potato chips, and I’m there! When I was a kid at school, it was expected that you’d go home for lunch (Beaver Cleaver days, when Moms didn’t work). PB&J, soup, and chips were a staple for lunch at home. I still enjoy them today, though now I dispense with the chocolate milk in favour of coffee. ---

I’d have to go with PB&J, too. Or maybe peanut butter crackers. ---

Heh–it occurs to me that some folks outside of the US may not even know what we’re talking about, and could be super grossed out. ---

Peanut butter sandwiches (no jelly) and some Doritos (Nacho Cheese). And a big glass of milk. I also like Twinkies and sometimes have a few with my morning coffee at work. ---

> [@Alessan](#): > > Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? For whatever reason, we never had these as kids - I’m guessing because my mom never had them when she was a kid. Now, tho, it’s a pretty standard breakfast for me. To answer the OP, for me it’s canned ravioli. It was a special treat when we were kids, especially when my grandmother would be the one opening the can. On the rare occasions that I decide I need some now, it takes me back to my 9-y/o self. It’s really not very good, but still… ---

Twizzlers. It’s the only candy I ever buy. If I don’t stop myself, I will consume an entire bag in one sitting. ---

Those little bags of fruit snacks! Once i opened one up, it didn’t survive 5 minutes. I don’t buy them for the same reason I don’t buy pistachio nuts, I’ll simply keep eating them til their gone. LOL ---
