What’s your crack? Not crack like [Eve’s neighbor](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=290574), nor like [Greathouse’s coworker](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=290710) but what’s so good you eat them all and then snuffle sadly in the empty bag like a lost hedgehog?
For me it’s butter-toffee covered almonds. Almost any butter-toffee covered nuts will do, but almonds are the best. Mmmmmmm.

Food: Those new cheez-it wings and bleu cheese twisty things. I can eat five boxes of them, no problem.
Drink: Soda, tea, orange juice… most any kind of drink that I like. I’m always thirsty.

I’m glad I live far, far away from **jjimm**. I need to keep my peanut butter safe! Turkey Hill (a regional ice cream) makes a low-carb ice cream called Peanut Butter Paradise: vanilla ice cream with thick ribbons of peanut butter and miniature peanut butter cups. I believe a half-gallon should last me about a week, but seldom lasts more than three days.
Drinks: JW Dundee Honey Brown in a frosted mug. For me, it’s proof that there is a God, and He wants us to be happy! 😉

Tic-tacs. I will eat those damn things until they are gone in one sitting. I don’t bring more than one container to work anymore or I’ll eat them all in one afternoon.
I have other “semi-crack” foods that I can usually manage to avoid buying them, but if they’re around I’ll devour them like I haven’t eaten in weeks:
Cocoa Pebbles
Edy’s Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
Starburst
IOW, all the sugary crap I shouldn’t eat anyway.

My dad’s chocolate fudge, made with cocoa powder instead of cooking chocolate. It is The Best Fudge Ever. Period.
He only makes it at Christmas these days, sadly. I confess I have hidden some of it from my kids because they will eat every bit of it without the slightest twinge of conscience if I don’t. Brats. 😉

Just got to say I love that quote.
For me, my crack is good toffee popcorn.

Oh cripes. Where do I start. My mother’s potato salad and my wife’s when I remind her to put pickle relish in it. Pecan pie. Pretty much anything made with pecans. Those bacon wrapped jumbo prawns they have at Barcelona in Scottsdale.

Oh, god. Turkey Hill Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup (or is it swirl)? The chocolate ice cream with ribbons of PB all through it… _drool_.
For Philly-area dopers, you know what I mean: TastyKakes. Especially the chocolate-covered peanut butter cakes.
Any type of gum, I chew compuslively.

Yup. The Peanut Butter Paradise tasted _just exactly like that_, but with mini peanut butter cups added!

Crack
and Nachos. I’ve been known to wake in the middle of the night wanting nachos. Missing an ingredient? No sweat–the grocery is open 24/7. I make my 2:am purchase, get my fix by 2:30 and sleeping it off by 3.

Thanks Bippy, I guess I was thinking of [a long ago thread on table manners](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=272955&highlight=hedgehog+meal).
How could I have forgotten Nutter Butters! Every time my office gets a new box of snack-sized bags of cookies I eat all the nutter butters in a day or two. I don’t mean to, and I feel really guilty about it, but I can’t seem to stop myself.

[Tings.](http://www.robscape.com/acb/showdetl.cfm?&DID=27&User_ID=293109&st=2349&st2=54260604&st3=-87354159&Product_ID=128&CATID=1) Mmm, tings. “Fans are called Tingheads,” heehee.
Also, pistachios, though I’m better about limiting the number I eat, and I rarely buy them.

Pepsi.
Pepsi with breakfast. Pepsi with lunch. Pepsi with dinner.
Lots and lots and lots of Pepsi.
Plus the occasional glass of water.
