Microwave popcorn. It’s convenient enough that I can make it easily any time, but just inconvenient enough that it doesn’t all get horked down on the first day.
Pretzel rods. Chunky salt. Good crunch. Rods are the best hard pretzel shape.
My favorite is the Synders sourdough but rods are a close second
Snyder’s pretzel pieces (the really really Ranch-y ones) are god-tier.
There’s a brand of pretzel “crackers” that are nice and thin like a chip, but pretzeled. They also have a buffalo flavor with a nice little zing to it

None. If I crave for something crunchy I eat carrots or nuts. If I want to eat sweets I make my own brownies, marzipan or chocolate chip cookies. And if I really want to each chips/crisps I make my own batch.
When you say you make your own marzipan, do you start from almonds? That seems like so much work- is it significantly cheaper or better than store bought marzipan or do you just prefer to be self sufficient?
When I have time I do it from scratch but usually I end up using almond flour.
Does it taste better? Almond flour is over three times the price of marzipan here, so it looks like it would be more expensive to make it myself, but I love marzipan and am down to pay more and put some work in for better marzipan.
I could also just see the prices being different elsewhere, though, given that I’m in Germany and marzipan is a much more common ingredient than almond flour here.
It’s difficult to tell if it tastes better. Some store bought were better other worse. But the best thing about making it is that you can make the way you like it.
Mega chad behaviour 😎
Breakfast cereal
My wife and I both agree that it’s a dessert, not a food XD
What ones you like?
I’m a sucker for fruity pebbles (I actually prefer the malt-o-meal bag version)
Crisps or air fryer party mix containing stuff like frikadellen, chicken nuggets or bitter balls. If you don’t know number 1 and 3 then I feel sorry for the sad life you have lived up until now and urge you to get off your ass and find a snack bar somewhere between Zierikzee and Delfzijl.
Frozen mango pieces. I love eating those whenever I’m in the mood for something to snack.
Not sure if it counts as junk food, but it’s something I always try to keep at home. Though lately they’ve been sold out at the supermarket. So I’m forced to fall back on my 2nd choice, frozen raspberries.
frozen raspberries
Haha those should be first choice. Basically the polar opposite in terms of flavor profile
Oh I love raspberries as well, it’s just that mangoes are more chewy when frozen.
Raspberries tend to be very hard and not as nice to bite down on when they’re straight from the freezer. But the flavor is great, no argument here :)
Tbh I dont

Pomegranate molasses.
Tortilla chips, Haribo gummy bears, ice cream and TJ’s peanut butter pretzels are all staple junk food that I usually restock before I run out.
ricey crackers, they have chocolate and rice. everything one needs, besides some water…
Oh no now I need some 😛. Had totally forgotten they existed 🤤
Gotta have peanut M&Ms
I miss trader Joe’s dried chili mango and candied hibiscus, their entire dried fruit section really.
candied hibiscus? like the flower is candied?
Hibiscus flowers are full of vitamin c, and taste like cranberries!
I had no idea. that sounds delicious.
the flower petals are so thin, how thick is the candy coating?
Typically i see them served in syrup and not coated in candy, and somehow they are so much thicker a petal than you imagine. I assume theyre using a specific type of hibiscus and not just the kind everyone grows for yard decor. More of a yucca flower texture honestly.
They may have actual candied ones to i didn’t even bother looking it up yet, of course.
These are what i normally see https://www.wildhibiscus.com/collections/retail/products/wild-hibiscus-flowers-in-syrup
that is fascinating, thank you for sharing it.
I actually grew up with hibiscus around my house my whole childhood but never knew you could eat them.
which is nuts, because I feel like I try to eat everything else in my yard as a kid.
those look pretty good.
Use theme like tea leaves and you get a tasty drink
also logging this in my brain. thanks
It’s actually made with the calyx rather than the petals, same as with hibiscus tea.
are you sure? a lot of the ones I looked up look like they dehydrate the petals. the recipes call for the flower rather than the calyx.
Yup, those are calices, it’s the bottom part of the flower, that holds the petals together.
I thought the calyx was the green part that holds the flower by its base.
like this?
and the flavor they’re talking about sounds like hibiscus petals, which are supposed to be citrusy.
Comment obliterated.
