None. If it's here, I'm eating it. I sometimes bring some home on grocery day but it's always gone that day.

Usually, pototo chips, chocolate covered pretzels, gummies, chocolate cover gummies.

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.

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

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

candied hibiscus? like the flower is candied?

[–] titter@lemmy.world 1 points 8 minutes ago (1 children)

Hibiscus flowers are full of vitamin c, and taste like cranberries!

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 minutes ago* (last edited 6 minutes ago)

I had no idea. that sounds delicious.

the flower petals are so thin, how thick is the candy coating?

[–] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 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 5 hours ago

Chips and hummus, sometimes B*tchin’ Sauce

[–] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 10 points 10 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 4 points 8 hours ago

Breakfast bars. They're not just for breakfast!

I'm also partial to chips & salsa.

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

Gotta have peanut M&Ms

[–] mundane@feddit.nu 22 points 14 hours ago (3 children)

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

[–] ContrarianTrail@lemm.ee 2 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 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 5 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

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 8 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 4 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

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 3 points 9 hours ago

Reese's Pieces.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 9 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 12 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 12 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 4 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 :)

Granola Bars

Chips and salsa

Apple's + pb

Popcorn

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 10 hours ago

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

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Comment obliterated.

[–] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Pomegranate molasses.

[–] Corno@lemm.ee 8 points 14 hours ago

Potato chips/crisps!

[–] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 8 points 15 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 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

dip strawberries in sugar

Aha, i knew it u sick mothafucka!

[–] fodderoh@lemmy.world 8 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] Remorhaz@lemmy.world 1 points 8 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 11 hours ago

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

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Cheez-its sadly. I can’t stop. Help.

[–] Tazerface@sh.itjust.works 1 points 38 minutes ago

Same. My only defense is to not buy them.

[–] Vinny_93@lemmy.world 6 points 15 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 3 points 4 hours ago

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

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 1 points 10 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.

[–] FriditaBonita@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

Grapes, apple sauce, avocados

[–] OhmsLawn@lemmy.world 3 points 14 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.
