The Water Cooler – What’s Your Favorite Junk Food?
I’m not a fan of junk food, but once in a while I will indulge myself in ice cream.
Apple, grapes, bananas, spinach…
Anything along those lines.
Just brought home a box of Moon Pie’s from Costco.
Junk food is stuff that has a large paragraph of ingredients, mostly food additives and chemicals that the company’s technicians have figure out will make it taste better, more addictive and often replace real food ingredients that cost more.
Some people that know me would say I eat a lot of corn chips and even fritos. Looking for an afternoon snack at work in the 1970s, my tests showed I got more energy out of corn chips than pretzels or crackers. Look at fritos, original called “corn crisps” over 100 years go and it’s basically corn meal, water, vegetable oil and salt. You can find the original recipe online. It’s not really unhealthy nor are pretzels and crackers properly done.
Regarding “mostly food additives and chemicals that the company’s technicians have figure out will make it taste better, more addictive and often replace real food ingredients that cost more.”
Many years ago I did some contracting for a company that did exactly this. Among other things, they had purchased some oil refineries and had reconfigured them to manufacture the chemical pastes or fluids that were used used in their food products. While they owned and manufactured for a number of well known household brands their main business was manufacturing the ingredients, by railroad car loads, that many other well known brands used. See http://www.foodblendtech.com for examples of industrial scale food chemistry.
In the late 1970s the wife of a friend brought home a magazine that was a journal for the food additive industry. Amazing who would advertise in it including Kodak. People also need to know that “modern” (corrupt) medicine was created by John D Rockefeller to use his oil processing waste to make pharmaceuticals.
HUMMmmmmmm, Wut da’ got?
Yes.

The hearts and livers of my enemies.

then do I have a Pozole recipe for you….
Ginger snaps and Cherry Kool-Aid to dunk them in.
Dude…😝
Pinky’s pizza
This is 100% legit. Pinkys is phenomenal
Jelly beans. Pure sugar. Gotta love ‘em.
… pizza 🙂
Rold Gold Pretzels & Beer
Chocolate truffles. Good ones.
Atticus
I make phenomenal Irish Cream truffles during the holidays to give as gift. Easy recipe but takes time for things to set
I will start a small church, not an actual religion in your name if you’d share that recipe Well Folks. 😍
Chips with salsa or guacamole
Taco Bell. Hot damn it’s good.
And Bugles.
I guess I don’t really eat junk food, at least not what I have considered junk food. If I were to name my favorite, it would be tostitos, or some other chip, that would allow me to load up with the salsa. Not interested in the chip, just the salsa.
.
Charms lollipops.

Cheese puffs with Coke!
Do you mean Coca Cola?
If I’m out and about it’s the cheapy little crispy tacos from Taco Bell. The ones that used to be 19 cents when I was in high school
At home Trader Joe’s peanut butter filled pretzel nuggets. And every once in a while a real deal Coke in the red can
@WELL FOLKS….The “real deal” Coke is made in Mexico with cane sugar instead of corn syrup like here. The funny thing is if you get Coke in Mexico it’s made like here with corn syrup. The imported Mexican Coke with cane sugar is exactly like “old days” Coke. I keep a couple of the Mexican imports, in the bottle, in my fridge for a real treat, ice cold, strait from the bottle..big difference between the two.
Yes, I’ve bought the Mexican coke too. Pepsi has their Real Sugar version. Coca-Cola has some nutmeg in their recipe I can taste that Pepsi doesn’t. Red Bull made a cola that was all natural about 15-20 years ago but I think it’s only available in Canada now. It was really good.
The Pepsi Real Sugar is Beet Sugar. Better for Brines and such…..
Will cost you much less as wall….
Win-Win
🙂
Glass bottle that is!
My above entries should have included Kipper Snacks and Saltines.
An unforgivable oversight.
