I know its not Friday, but I'm bored and every day is Friday nowadays, anyway
As we've all been in the house for weeks now, I'm going to take it as read that everyone's doing the same as me during lockdown. Well, Greggs is shut. What else am I supposed to do? Be honest... what else are you going to do except eat*
So while overordering snack goodies on online shops or overstocking on munchie goodies when you're shopping, what have you developed an unhealthy, crack-like addiction for over the past 6 weeks? what are you sneaking into the kitchen to grab from the fridge on a far, far too regular basis?
I'll start. These bloody things! I liked them anyway, but its getting to the point where I'm going to have to seek professional help for addiction
Whats yours then? GO!
* drink far too much being the obvious answer
Home-baked biscuits. Lots of 'em.
Oh and cooking chocolate - but that's normal.
Mr Kippling’s exceeding good Bradley apple pies. 215kcal And 16.3g of sugar per unit.

= weigh in days recently have seen a rise in overall weight in-spite of still running and riding miles, I can't think why!
Disturbingly hot chilli dips and a big bag of tortilla chips with 4 cold bottles of Sol lurking in the fridge.
Cheeselets.
I guarantee no cheese was ever involved in their manufacture, just lots of fat and salt but they go great with a beer and I've never left a bag unfinished!
McVitties coffee and caramel digestives.
My diet has improved dramatically during lockdown.
I genuinely had a salad for lunch today.
Fortunately i'm keeping my weight up by secretly drinking eight cans of Dark Fruits each morning before the wife gets up.
every day is Friday nowadays, anyway
The Smiths less successful follow up single.
Dark Fruits. Now there's a real man's drink.
I can't have Marks & Spencer chocolate sandwich biscuits in the house as one is never enough.

Usually in roughly that quantity 😧
@richmtb - I've never seen those before. They're definitely going on the shopping list. In bulk!
Peanut M&Ms. Little calorie filled bipolar rocks
Coffee digestives
Or tiger bread and a crap load of butter
Marmite on buttered toast.
Has to be butter and can only be stopped when there is either no bread, no butter or no marmite left.
These. 8 in a pack, they don’t last half an hour.

Whoa! Wrong thread!
so , yeah, After Eights.
Don't put the empty envelopes back in the box.
That's a ****s trick

Sorry to lower the tone, but.... Kale chips!
5 minutes in over, coated in olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Almost makes me not miss the family size bag of salt and vinegar crisps I would demolish every Friday night...
Sour Cream and Chive Pringles or Chilli Heatwave Doritos both so more-ish!
Snyder's jalapeno pretzel pieces is the correct answer, I can demolish a whole big bag of them no problem.
Aldi’s chocolate bar with salted pretzel bits in it. I have proved without a shadow of a doubt it is impossible to stop eating it.
the bits are small
it must be shovelled in with a spoon
I don't even know what it is made of
Another vote for peanut M&M's. Party size my arse, Jeff don't share M&M's.
Ritz crackers.
Salt and fat and just slightly damp.
Tuc sandwich.
The one with "cheese" in.
I don’t even know what it is made of
Savoury Indians?
If we're talking drug-like properties, surely the Oreo is king.
You bosh one, and immediately suffer a sugar rush that makes your eyeballs sweat.
Seconds later, your brain snaps back into life, and your first thought is 'I think I need another one, this one's wearing off'. You reach for the packet for a 2nd one, despite the fact that you are still eating the first.
It's a bit like coming to in the middle of the dancefloor of the Phoenix on Oxford Road at 1AM, circa 1998. Er, or so I'm told.
3 things at the top of my list a the moment...
Home baked extra cheesy cheese scones
Home baked chocolate brownies
and more home baked rhubarb cake.
I would post pictures but they don't last long enough.
Synder's Pretzel Pieces... but Honey Mustard & Onion for me.
However, nothing compares to these:
Just nearing the end of the third jar. I acquired them for free. It's lucky they're so expensive.
You win. Those things are evil and amazing in equal measure.
When they are reduced to £1 a bag I tend to arrive home with five or six. Once opened it is whole bag now. Every time.
By the way, how do you link a pic these days?
I have a couple of others that come close to the Sensations Poppadoms...
Pringles again here. The spud-based equivalent of crack cocaine.
Miltons Crafty Multi-Orgamic Crack
The deal is this seemingly... I buy them - I put the packet in the cupboard. I notice the packet again when I'm putting out the recycling. I know they're good - but if I'm not fast I'm last.
Things I cannot have in the house:
Jaffa Cakes. Always bought at least as a twin pack, in case anyone else wants one. It's a good job the lemon & lime ones are limited edition, my willpower isn't that strong.
Maltesers. A catering pack and a good film, you say? Watch me.
Jamaican Ginger Cake. Used to be a go-to student hangover cure, none of this "slices" business, just open one end and get chewing till it's all gone.

Please somebody tell me how to put pics in posts on here again, please....
It’s a good job the lemon & lime ones are limited edition, my willpower isn’t that strong.
I inhaled a packet of Pineapple ones at the weekend.
It was a satisfactory experience
By the way, how do you link a pic these days?
Just paste the link, so long as it ends in a sensible file extension (.jpg et al) the forum will handle it.
Maltesers. A catering pack and a
good filmadd break, you say? Watch me.
This stuff - loads of it, on unbuttered toast.
And
I terms of being properly addictive - in the sense of something that you habitually participate in knowingly at the expense of your happiness and wellbeing.....
they are horrible - but the only way to take the taste away is to have another one, and another one, until you are angrily eating them just to try and make them go away.
Pringles again here. The spud-based equivalent of crack cocaine.
Another vote for Pringles here. Also partial to Tunnocks caramel wafers, frazzles and chocolate hob nobs. Well balanced diet right there.
Chilli-Cheese bread from Filbert's bakery in Lancaster.
OMG!
APF

Jesus! You too?! Between there, The Dew Drop and The Chequers my kidneys and liver took a beating.
