Candy canes and ginger ale.
I think you all ought to know: I’m home. The kids and wife are upstairs asleep. I’m in my den (ok, dungeon–this place is an unbelievable mess). On the computer. Reading Dope. Drinking Foster’s. Eating. Nachos. Tillamook cheddar/jack on Santita’s with Ortega’s pickled peppers.
My. Keyboard. Is. Disgusting. 
Chocolate-covered mints. Big York Peppermint Patties are my downfall.
Miss Vickie’s Lime and Black Pepper Chips. If I have one, the whole bag is gone and the worst bit is I’ve hooked all my classmates on them too. I wouldn’t be surprised if the 7-11 ran out during exams, with hordes of hungry engineers buying these chips.
Bite sized candies. I sometimes have to force myself to stop for fear of diabetes down the road.
Powdered Country Time Pink Lemonade. I literally eat cups of just the powder. My friends in High School and College always used to call it my “pink crack.” Now that I can buy losta candy, I don’t eat 2 or 3 cups of it a day. I just calculated and that’s about 256 grams of sugar extra every day I was having when I was at my prime.
If I can’t get that, then I eat those sour strings. I buy them when they are on sale and get 20-30 at a time.
And otter pops. I fucking <i>love</i> my Otter Pops. I eat like 5 or 6 of those in one sitting. Unfortunately, they only sell them in the winter here. I stock up on them like people used to stock up on wood.
I’m amazed my teeth aren’t falling out.
Crumbled bleu cheese. I buy a tub from Trader Joe’s and every time I open the freakin’ refrigerator I have to nab a fingerful and stick it away in the corner of my mouth like tobacco or something. And the longer you have it, the better it gets!
Blue Bell ice cream: Fudge Brownie Nut, Caramel Pecan Fudge, or Tin Roof
Pistachios
Planter’s Peanut Bars
Sunflower seeds. If I can get them, I’ll eat three bags a week. I’d eat more but they dry out my mouth.
Popcorn. Microwave, air-popped… I don’t care!
And Coca-Cola.
Ferrero Rocher (made by the same people who make Tic Tacs, jk1245)
Anything with chocolate & caramel, like Sam’s Choice Caramel Cups
numnumnumnumnumnumnumnum
Too cute! Sometime today I am going to use that in a sentence. Maybe I can find a way to work it into my essay final for my Jewish class.
Peanut butter filled pretzels.
And donuts of almost any variety.
Houmous and breadsticks.
Drinkwise it’s the completely obvious but as yet unmentioned coffee. Particularly espresso if there’s a good version available.
Chocolate-covered cake donuts–I can’t stop when I start on a bag of those! The sugar-coated ones are pretty good, too, but I am just SO addicted to the chocolate ones!
Diet Dr. Pepper. I could go through a 12 pack every day, if I could afford to support such a habit!
Popcorn.
That Turkey Hill ice crean is really good.
My personal crack, though, is Lay’s sour cream and onion potato chips.
Oooh how did I forget Ferrero Rocher? And I’m OCD in the way I eat them. The first one always has to be eaten in a certain way - carefully eating just the chocolate/hazelnut outside; gently twisting apart the wafer shell and revealing the whole hazelnut inside and eating that, then eating the hazelnut creme, before eating the wafer.
Only the first one though; all the rest just get chomped.
Hershey’s caramel kisses
Reese’s cups, but only the mini ones
Homemade chex mix, the kind with the M&Ms in it
Homemade Rice Krispy Treats
Crispy M&Ms
Homemade almond roca
I try not to keep too much of this stuff around, because if it’s there, I will eat it. All. At once, generally.
Junior Mints
BBQ Potato Chips
Pringles
I can’t keep Pringles in the house anymore because that’s all my kids would eat if I let them! We love’em!!
Cheez-Its. But only the original kind and not those crappy 3-cheese, white cheddar or worse, reduced fat varieties.
Since we are talking about food crack here, can anyone point me in the direction of the infamous “Chili Crack” that made the rounds here on the Dope a couple of years ago? I remember reading a thread about it but I’ve been unable to locate it. All I remember is that it required vast amounts of cheese, chili and nachos, was often served at Superbowl parties and people have been known to eat it until they got sick. I’m just curious to see what all the fuss was about.
Roasted and salted nuts, especially cashews and almonds. That’s a problem around here, because we always get at least one big ol’ jar of cashews for Christmas here at the office. I’ll eat so many that my jaw hurts, then go back for more when it’s not sore anymore. We also get Virginia peanuts, about three pounds of those.
Recently, it’s been Dum-Dum suckers and Nerds (leftover Halloween candy that we didn’t give out). Luckily, they’re all gone, and I’m not touching the SweetTarts and Runts.
