Except not the grape ones. I hate artificial grape flavor.

The homemade bread I make. I can make a whole loaf disappear when it’s warm and fresh from the oven…

(And yes, it’s a snack at that point).

Gummy bears, or almost anything gummy, really. Sometimes I like to pair them with a salty snack like nuts or chips, for a more balanced meal.

I’ll eat as many of these as are in reach of me.

If there are chips (crisps) in my house, I will eat them until they are gone - not in one sitting or anything, but I will grab some every time if I see them.

OTOH, I make and freeze objectively delicious cookie dough balls for my family, so that they can bake a cookie anytime, and I almost never eat those even though I like them, and even if someone makes me one. It doesn’t feel like willpower, I just don’t want them often at all.

You know me so well

You know, over the years, that list has gotten tiny.

The only thing I really struggle with now, as in if I don’t pay attention and have a whole package next to me I’ll end up eating it all, is stuff like Ghirardelli squares or lindt truffles.

I’m a chocolate fiend. But, normally, I know how much I plan to have at a given point in time and stop when I’m at that point.

But there’s something about those bags of products that defeats me if I don’t pay close attention. I’ll have my two, maybe three truffles (as an example), enjoy them thoroughly and move on.

But then my brain says “did you have two, or three?” a few hours later. And then it says “or was only two, you can have the other now”. So I have the other. This then repeats a few hours later, and my brain keeps lying to me until half the damn bag is gone.

It’s mostly limited to bags because I can’t easily tell how much I’ve had until the bag is low. A box, it’s not going to sneak by me. Bars are never a problem. But bags? Damn. My subconscious knows I’ll enjoy it, and refuses to keep track on my behalf, I have to do it consciously. Bad subconscious! Bad!

I mean, I’m a grown ass man, and if I want the whole damn bag as a conscious decision, that’s what I’ll do. No apologies, no regrets, and fuck anyone that doesn’t like it. But I consciously know that I won’t enjoy large amounts at once because only the really cheap chocolate doesn’t lose its impact after a couple of bites. Hershey’s is the same from the first bite until the tenth, if you don’t mind that regurge thingy it does (and I do, so I rarely have more than a single piece even when I’m in the mood for cheap chocolate). But the mid tier mass produced stuff, you lose the nuances it does have after two to three bites and it’s just not as potent an experience, so I prefer to space it out more.

The really good stuff you could keep eating without losing the magic, but it’s so intense you don’t want/need to. It satisfies in a different way.

So, I choose to just be careful with the bags when I have them and store them away from wherever I am. But damn, if I forget? Gone in a day or two instead of the week+ it should be

Before companies changed their recipes I was all about cold Kit Kat minis.

Oh one of my worse ones are Sisu Horna, which is a brand of small (finnish) salmiakki candy. They’re made of sugar mixed with plenty of ammonium chloride, and with some licorice and salt for spicing. I will eat the whole small bag at once and then the insides of my mouth will burn raw lmao, one bag is only 40g but it’s one of the stronger salmiakki candies that’s commonly available. But it is worth it. These days I try to avoid buying them since my intestines are all fucked up from autoimmune disease and eating the whole bag of them doesn’t exactly make it any better

Watermelon sour patch candy. That stuff is going to kill me.

I don’t even buy them and some other snacks because I know I won’t be able to stop.

E.L. Fudge. I can destroy a whole box without trying, but my BMI tells me to roll it back every time.

The ones i open.

Give me this but in meat form. Cured salami sticks 🥵

Bombay Mix
