Whatcha Snacking On?

Punisher · Post by **Punisher** » Tue Apr 10, 2018 7:30 pm

My wife and I are on the Atkins diet, so mostly just their stuff. My top 2 are they coconut bars (think Mounds Candy) and their Peanut M&M stuff.
Isgrimnur, I am interested in your report on Cinnamon Toast. They seem lowish on carbs and might make a decent addition.

My dad was on Atkins. I used to chow through those coconut bars every time I visited.

4 oz bag, 2.5 servings/bag, 2g sugar per serving.

They’ve got a light flavor to them, so they’re not overbearing. The sweetness and cinnamon are a good combo here, much better than I was expecting.

Picked up random tasty junk in the store today...

Also I had no idea!!

Horseradish Pub Cheese with multigrain (for the healthy) Club crackers.

They are the grossest things on Earth. If there’s a worse flavor combination than Blue Raspberry Sriracha, I don’t know what it could be? Lemon Dog Shit?
Mix and match:

No thanks. I think buttered popcorn Jelly Belly is gross, rotten egg could not be much worse.

These are either awesome of the most disgusting thing ever consumed. There is no middle ground.

White Cheddar Cheesit Grooves are the shit.

Right now, Lance "Captain's Wafers" cracker sandwiches. They come in packs of 8, each with SIX cracker sandwiches of cheese or Buffalo ranch flavor fillings. And they are just ONE BUCK at Dollar Tree.

Tractor Supply has snacks? I have one of those just a few minutes away and I rarely go in. It seems like a cool store too.

Daehawk · Post by **Daehawk** » Thu Apr 12, 2018 1:10 pm

Tractor Supply is the only local store to me that sells Herr's brand things like the cheese puffs.

And my daughter is pure evil. I just discovered that she has managed to eat all of the M&M's out of my trail mix. I am left with a half a pound of peanuts, cashews, almonds and raisins.

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Thu Apr 12, 2018 1:25 pm

Cashews and peanuts are fine. Almonds are horrible. And raisins belong in cereal or small boxes.

I got a bag of those Herr's Jalapeno Poppers a few weeks go for one penny at Binny's. The baby liked them.

Yeah, I was glad they tasted so good when we started. They are a great candy fix. I also love their Strawberry shakes. We just got some chocolate banana ones as well that are pretty good. they used to make strawberry banana ones but stopped.
started tasting some of their frozen foods. pizzas taste good but are small. Lasagna is decent but again small..

Anything that is labeled "Dark chocolate and sea salt" will get my attention. Milk chocolate, like ketchup, is for children. I like these currently.

Those things are pure, concentrated evil.

I have one little tiny bag left, maybe 10 or so Starburst Jellybeans. I just caught myself cruising Amazon for left over stock. Pure Evil!

I don't buy candy. I have one Werther's every day after dinner.

Now I have a can of Da Bomb Ghost Pepper Nuts on my desk. You can't really eat too many at once.

I have first hand experience that confirms rotten egg is much worse. The taste is bad, but not being able to get rid of it is the real kicker.

Me too. Just ordered a 5lb bag of Haribo. Though so far I've managed to keep the number per day down.

Working from home is tough.

Also some pretzels.

These are the correct gummi bears to get. They are amazing. I eat them way too fast.

Not a fan of cashews. Peanuts are okay. Really liked almonds. Then I got an intolerance. So no more almonds for me. Which, sadly, rules out a TON of snack options.

Co-worker came in today with a bag of Spitz salted caramel sunflower seeds.

I was initially rather horrified...turns out that these might be the greatest snack ever.

The sour gummi bear version of these is great, but I only get them when Publix has them on BOGO

My snack right now is also what I eat most of the time anyway lately. No salt added Dark Red Kidney Beans

with some siracha ketchup

some garlic, dried onion flakes, & crushed red pepper to doctor them up a bit also

mori · Post by **mori** » Mon Jul 09, 2018 8:10 pm

I had something similar 20 years ago and I really enjoyed it. This not so much. Seems to be a cheaper version as the texture is not as good as I remember. Does have a nice spice kick.

I had Skyr yesterday. Now this is the shit. Firmer texture than Greek yogurt and not filled with sugar.

Roasted peanuts. Fun fact: 1/2 cup (including the shells) = 160 calories. I measured that as 12 shells containing about 24 actual nuts. Not the smartest diet choice, but I love 'em, and at least they aren't entirely empty calories.

morlac · Post by **morlac** » Tue Jul 10, 2018 8:22 am

Peanut butter filled pretzels. Like a Combo but taste less like cardboard and more like PB and pretzels. I skipped lunch twice last week because I ate them non stop for like 2 hours.

Jeff V · Post by **Jeff V** » Tue Nov 19, 2019 7:56 pm

Items found in Filipino store today: Salted Egg Fish Skin Chips (in regular and spicy!) At $7 per bag, I would only buy one. What say you, Archinerd, regular or spicy?

Edit: Holy fuck, there are multiple brands of this thing! I don't recall if this is the exact one or not:

Kasey Chang · Post by **Kasey Chang** » Wed Nov 20, 2019 3:24 am

My snacking consists of small packs of Pringles crisps, small packs of Jack Link's jerky bits, and variety pack of Planter's snack nuts (24 bags of various nuts), and maybe a protein bar (dark chocolate and peanuts).

I try to avoid fast food if I can, but it's not always possible.

It's leftover Halloween candy season.

Kraken · Post by **Kraken** » Wed Nov 20, 2019 12:21 pm

More than a year later, I'm still eating peanuts roasted in the shell. I allow myself 12 per night.
