Unsalted cashew nuts and french fries. The nuts I eat as is and usually run out by the end of the week. French fries I toss into the air fryier when ever I don't feel like cooking.

[–] cazssiew@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I miss trader Joe's dried chili mango and candied hibiscus, their entire dried fruit section really.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

candied hibiscus? like the flower is candied?

[–] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Girardhelli brownie mix. Not claiming it's the best ever but it's 100x better than the Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines crap. But there's also the barrier of 5-10 mins prep and 25+ mins baking so it's not instant gratification y'know?

Once you bake a pan though it's pretty great for the next day or two. Assuming you're not too concerned with your waistline.

[–] undefined@links.hackliberty.org 1 points 3 hours ago

Chips and hummus, sometimes B*tchin’ Sauce

[–] samuelblock@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Gotta have peanut M&Ms

[–] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 10 points 8 hours ago

Nuts. Many kinds of nuts - peanuts, hazelnuts, almonds, cashews... Various mixes, sometimes with dried fruits, then there's the spiced and coated varieties

[–] sgibson5150@slrpnk.net 3 points 6 hours ago

Breakfast bars. They're not just for breakfast!

I'm also partial to chips & salsa.

[–] mundane@feddit.nu 21 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

Anything remotely resembling a snack will not be left for long so we don't keep anything.

[–] ContrarianTrail@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

Yep. The only way to prevent daily snacking is by not having snacks in the house.

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Same here. That's why I try to stock up on more than I think I'll need when things go on sale.

[–] Contramuffin@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

The two types of mentalities on display:

  1. I'll eat too much so I shouldn't buy any
  2. I'll eat too much so I should buy more

Pocky Sticks… so many Pocky Sticks!!

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 26 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] axby@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I find that stove top popcorn is even less convenient (so less tempting to eat all the time), but much cheaper, and maybe tastier in some ways.

Get a ~500 g (1 lb or so?) bag of whole kernels for $3-ish, some oil that you use for cooking other stuff anyway, and salt. Heat the oil on the stove with a few kernels, then when those pop, briefly remove from heat and add more. Make sure the pot has a lid. Keep shaking it side to side to keep the popcorn from burning.

I find it adds just enough oil to taste good, but not so much that I’m eating something super awful for me. (And it’s much tastier than air popped). And I assume you could still add melted butter if you want an extra treat.

I want to get one of those movie theatre style things where the popcorn can fly out of the pot.

[–] dditty@lemm.ee 2 points 2 hours ago

I have one that's this style and I use it a lot. I got my parents this other kind though and think it works better

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 7 hours ago

Redbull. It’s not quite what was asked, but it’s about the only thing that is always stocked.

[–] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

frozen raspberries

Haha those should be first choice. Basically the polar opposite in terms of flavor profile

[–] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago

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 :)

Pomegranate molasses.

[–] scoobford@lemmy.zip 10 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Dark chocolate. Sweet enough to satisfy sugar cravings, but a low enough sugar content I can chomp on one to get my blood sugar up before going to the corner store for breakfast.

[–] PixelTron@lemm.ee 5 points 8 hours ago

I was with you until you said before breakfast!?!

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Cheez-its sadly. I can’t stop. Help.

[–] fodderoh@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Pretzel rods. Chunky salt. Good crunch. Rods are the best hard pretzel shape.

[–] Remorhaz@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] hactar42@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

My favorite is the Synders sourdough but rods are a close second

[–] Corno@lemm.ee 7 points 12 hours ago

Potato chips/crisps!

[–] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 7 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Junk food is a metaphor for thermodynamics. Nothing lasts. if it's in stock, then it's eaten. So I try not to buy any. But even then I will dip strawberries in sugar.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

dip strawberries in sugar

Aha, i knew it u sick mothafucka!

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 1 points 8 hours ago

An off-brand oreo called Kaleidos. Idk what it is but they are better than oreos, and they're cheaper to boot.

Also a bag of milk chocolate chips. spread some peanut butter on bread, sprinkle some chips on top and pop them in the toaster oven. Boom. Toasted PB&C, goes nicely with a small cup of milk. Great when it's cold outside.

[–] Vinny_93@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

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.

You're confusing Dutch with German which is kind of like confusing Portuguese with Spanish. Or Iowa with Kentucky in your language.

[–] Mr_Blott@feddit.uk 2 points 2 hours ago

You're confusing "Dutch" with "edible cuisine" 😂

[–] FriditaBonita@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Grapes, apple sauce, avocados

[–] OhmsLawn@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

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.

The things that Tim had in his coat pocket that he was so delighted to rediscover that he swore about it.

And if you're wondering "Who's Tim?", oh boy do I have the turn-of-the-century Edgar Wright miniseries for you to watch.

And I don't even do the drugs that require munchies-curing sweet snack foods. I just [expletive verb] love [these particular confections].

[–] proudblond@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Lame to recommend a show and not name it!

I’ve seen Spaced a few times but it’s been a while and I don’t remember what Tim had in his coat pocket. Guess that means it’s time for a rewatch! (Not a hard sell.)
