snack failures

it also isn't "simple" there are like 75 ingredients including whey and msg!?

TANKING U FOR STARTING DIS THREAD.

I bought a peanut butter cookie today and I think the "peanuts" in it are honey roasted. I am so grossed out by the level of sweetness in this thing. And it's a big fancy $3 cookie, I haven't even eaten HALF.

ysi?

snack awesome: those 100 calorie snack packs of Oreos, Mr Christie, etc are really good and satisfying! I hate wasting money on overpackaged things but this one might actually get some of my dollars.

It's not totally crazy, bell, the $3 cookie is like the size of a salad plate. It's A LOT of cookie...and a lot of gross.

haha speaking of burger king fries & failure

!!!

fried apples sounds kinda great actually

they're not fried

they are processed, tho!

they're also mysteriously not brown

i mean, i appreciate the effort but can you imagine how soggy and oxidized they will be in practice?

that is why they are steeped in a special preservative brine / hfcs or something

ughhhhh

(xxpost) a bit of lemon juice would stop them going brown

have to say that scoop-shaped tortillas are among the greatest inventions of the last decade or so

Is anyone else getting those tubgirl-reminiscent commercials for some new Cheetos-influenced chip?

i attempted to eat apple fries at a bk in a random town in illinois, but they didn't have any

id like to imagine that they'd just run the apples through some type of corer and slicer but maybe they wouldn't be fresh at all

CK: I see your ball juice and raise you:

that stuff is srsly one of the nastiest things I've ever tasted

McDonald's - in Canada, at least - has prepackaged apple slices served with caramel sauce. EAT A FUCKING APPLE. dipping an apple in caramel sauce does not = eating fruit!

dipping an apple in caramel sauce does not = eating fruit!

actually it does. but it also = eating caramel.

hahaha

DROPPIN' SCIENCE

Are you kidding? These things are insane tasty! The highlight of going to the laundromat is purchasing these things from venmachine. It's the only place I can find them.

xpost -- kinda like those Nutella commercials where the pink-sweatered mom says something to the effect of "Nutella is a great way to help my kids eat healthy!"

RONG.

Ha, wait, is Simply Nuts the one with the commercial where they keep saying "nutsnack?"

"a truly remarkable NUTSNACK"

i laughed for a straight 5 minutes after i heard that one

Apart from the fact that I can never remember the name of the product, it's totally brilliant: nobody pays attention to commercials about nuts, so you might as well be all like "WORLD'S TASTIEST NUTSNACK" -- all eyes will dart to the screen

is nutella that bad? maybe not nutritious, but actively unhealthy?

maybe dipping baby carrots in nutella is healthier than scarfing a bag of doritos (albeit GROSS SOUNDING)

i dunno, on principle i stand against the whole mindset that you can get kids to eat "healthy" by smuggling vegetables into their brownies, or that it is okay to feed your kid a pound of cheese as long as there's some broccoli in there

they have those ketchup and fries at the vending machine here at work! i have never tried them, now's the time. livebloggin this shit!

curious minds await your results.

flavor is strong!

I didn't really believe it, but yes it really does say NUTSNACK

Not that the UK fares any better...

Elmo, dude, you don't have kids. If you did and they were two, you'd know how difficult it can be. I know kids who are three and still refuse to eat anything which is not crusty or refuse to eat green coloured food. But I do admit you are right: Nutella likes to pretend it's healthy but if you check the pot it's located near OJ and milk... THOSE are healthy, the paste itself isn't.

that stuff is srsly one of the nastiest things I've ever tasted

Red Bull, dude,Red Bull.

crushed up Sweet Tarts >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> smoky liquid inner tube

All I ever snack on is Larabars. Those things are the greatest.

yeah those are good - pistachio is A+

(xxxpost) Red Bull is excellent. You'll be hating on Marmite next. Actually...
http://www.seriouseats.com/required_eating/images/20070815twiglets.jpg
...Twiglets, the exact opposite of a snack failure, just as long as you like Marmite, because the brown stuff on them is mostly Marmite. The one drawback is that, being salty, they make you drink more.

they look like they are made out of sausages!

which would be a good thing!

No, the photo is a bit misleading wrt scale, it's a small sideplate, Twiglets are the size of, er, small twigs. Maybe an inch long each. They contain no sausage or other meat.

Actually they do make sausages containing Marmite, but they are pretty scarce.

youtube doritos experimental flavor

nath, i don't have kids but if your goal is to raise healthy children who grow into healthy adults with a good relationship with food, they're going to have to learn to appreciate fruits & vegetables for themselves and acquire a palate that extends beyond fats & processed starches & sugars.

-- and yes, i know little kids can be horribly picky eaters as i've had 6 younger siblings (soon to be 7!). i used to be quite picky with my plate, too.

this store near my friend's place in queens sells all sorts of weird flavored potato chips, such as chicken and marmite.

(xxpost) What an irritating wanker. No-one is making you buy the crisps, beard face...

Personally I would love it if companies did this in the UK, but fat chance as everything has to be clearly labelled.

The mystery 'Quest' Doritos are Mountain Dew flavored. *96 tears*

they taste like hint of lime, sort of. but on doritos instead of tostitos.
