What kind of junk food do you have access to right now?

Does no one else have a full box of Lucky Charms in their basement?

I’d bought them, along with other cereals, for the Thanksgiving Horde we had at our house. But everyone brought breakfast fixin’s, so now I have cereal leftovers. I’ve been trying to lose what I gained from eating and stress, so I haven’t touched the 'Charms… yet.

None of my food is junk.

My wife and I each have one chocolate truffle every day as a punctuation after dinner. It takes a lb of chocolate, 6 oz heavy cream, 3oz Kahlua to make 30 of them and I do it twice a month. In addition we have a few other junk foods lying around, but don’t eat them much, if at all. Some energy bars that expired and we discarded a few months ago, some pretzels my wife snacks on occasionally, but I avoid because of blood pressure.

Potato chips, corn chips, dips, chocolate covered almonds, truffles, sugar coated mixed nuts, chocolate covered caramels, Snickers ice cream bars, a tub of chocolate ice cream. And we’re making cookies tomorrow. Cripes.

I just went grocery shopping. I’ve got two mini pineapple upside down cakes, popcorn, Ritz crackers, chocolate chips, and potato chips. I do have a box of mac & cheese, as well as ramen noodles. Cheese and charcuterie in the fridge. And one 2-serving bottle of Dr. Pepper. I also have a coffee cake mix, enough of various flours to create cookies, cakes, and cornbread. Fruit in the freezer awaiting my hand. Homemade jams, dry roasted nuts and raisins and a single serving of ice cream remains in the freezer.

Decisions, decisions. It’s spaghetti of some sort for dinner tonight.

How You doin?

I’m not sure. That jerky might be bad bad bad.

Ran out. Send more!

and

“Fuck That Shit! Pabst Blue Ribbon!”

Pretzels, small cheese crackers and mini m&ms. The first two are for Chex Mix, the other is for monster cookies.

Hey, just shoot me your address, I’ll help you out.

A half jar of Nutella, half a package of Chips Ahoy, an un-opened sleeve of Ritz crackers, and some Abuelita hot chocolate tablets.

Cheese cake and Blue Heat Takis.
Does honey count? I also have a thing of honey I’m allowing to dry/crystalize for eventual use as candy. (There’s faster ways to get candy, I just like honey)

A Christmas-themed small box of Whoppers malted milk balls is less than one foot from my hand. Should keep me busy for a spell as I like to suck all the chocolate off then compress the malted part into a tiny ball which then dissolves. Repeat at will.

We have a shared couple pounds of Christmas-themed candies; Reese’s PB cups in Xmas shapes being the package open currently. Normally we have zero of that sort of stuff.

My wife keeps various cookies or muffins around for her. I have no interest and carbs are what keep her alive and slender.

The rest of my snacky stuff would be good dark chocolate and some whole wheat crackers in diabetically-compatible little single-serving packs. And nuts, but IMO those may be snacks, but they aren’t junk food.

Right now I have some G-zero Gatorade for liquid junk food, but sometimes it’s Coke zero or A&W Root beer zero instead.

The mice would starve in my pantry.

I had forgotten that I have a box in the cupboard. I’m working on the junk food drawer. Yes, we have a drawer dedicated to junk food.

Hershey’s with almond bars
Mini Toblerone, Bounty, Snickers and Milky Way (Santa bag from my husband’s employer)
Unreal coconut chocolate bars
Popcorn (unpopped)
Spicy cashews
Spicy corn nuts
Anise cookies
Fancy chocolates
Lindt chocolate bars
A piece of Schlesischer Mohnstriezel
Gummy bears (they are old, and thanks to @don_t_ask I’ve remembered that I could soak them in alcohol to make them taste better)
Fun size Butterfingers

Other junk food in the main living space:
Marshmallows and rice krispies to make rice krispy treats
Tortilla chips and potato chips
Box of Lindt chocolates (Christmas present from my employer)
Nature’s Bakery bars (both raspberry and blueberry)
Aplets

Junk food in the basement:
Almond Roca
York Peppermint Patties

Probably more. We brought back way too many “goodies” from our last visit to the U.S. We’ve been back home since mid-August, and we may have eaten about a 1/10th of what we brought back, as we’ve been eating other junk. Much of the other junk is homemade, as I like to bake, but it’s still junk.

Told hubby next time we need to limit ourselves.

Also have mac & cheese as “emergency” food if hubby needs to eat a low fiber diet. Or if we’re in the mood for it.

And there’s booze.

I’m at work so this is what I have in my “lunch pantry”.

A party size bag of Reese’s miniatures
An almost empty container of butter braid pretzels
A partial box of Chicken in a Biskit
A partial box of Townhouse Flatbread Crisps - tomato, basil & mozz flavor
A partial box of Ritz
2 pkgs of Orville Redenbacher microwave popcorn
24 pack of Diet Coke

Except for the Reese’s, my lunch consists of one of the above, a Diet Coke, and 2 or 3 pieces of fruit.

The Reese’s are strictly for breakfast which consists of peanut butter toast, a banana, and a large glass of ice water. Then 5 Reese’s miniatures that have been in the fridge while I eat my “entree”.

Right now, in my house:

  • 3/4 bag of Pepperidge Farm Mint Chocolate Milano cookies
  • 3/4 bag of Pepperidge Farm Orange Chocolate Milano cookies
  • 1 box of Nonni’s Thinaddictives Cranberry Almond thins
  • several cups of Jello-o sugar-free strawberry gelatin
  • a few cups of Jell-o sugar-free dark chocolate pudding
  • 2 cans of Reddi-Wip whipped cream (mostly for use on the Jell-o, but sometimes sprayed directly into my gaping maw)
  • many bags of Pop Secret Homestyle microwave popcorn
  • 1/2 box of MadeGood strawberry granola minis
  • 1 bag of Russell Stover sugar-free fruit chews

And I’m about to order Chinese food for lunch, so soon there will also be 2 apple pie “egg rolls” and a fortune cookie. :grin:

Turns out I was lied to. There is, apparently, more junk food in the house; but I don’t know what it is or where it is and the wife won’t tell me. She knows me too well.
