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.

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.

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

Back on track! These also do it for me when I’m home.

I'd forgotten those Sensations mini poppadom things. I feel a stroll to the corner shop for essential supplies coming on....

Feel an honourable mention needs to go to Cadbury Dark Milk Giant Chocolate Buttons. MrsMC has either stopped buying them or got better at hiding them

Peanut M&Ms here too. I now decant them into a small pot to snack on as there is no way of stopping if dipping into a family bag

Peanut M&Ms

The bags sit nicely in the centre console of my car. They don't melt in the bag.

I have to check my teeth when I get out the car to go into a meeting.....😬

+1 Houns.

Also Aldi do a salt & vinegar flavoured cashew & peanut mix at Christmas which is so strong I actually get a buzz from eating it.

Unfortunately it also keeps me awake, so I might as well have just had some actual crack.

Yogurt coated banana chips, even after you read that the pack contains almost 2000kc and you've consumed 75% of them before lunchtime!!!!

@Houns

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.

He's not wrong is he!
I'm finishing work in 50 minutes and I will be passing several supermarkets on the way home so one of them better bloody have them.
Better time it right though as I've had 2 Ginsters pasties about an hour ago and the amount of arse fog I'm producing is horrendous, just as well for social distancing in the workshop 🙂

A recent conversation with my Boss alerted me to these... Next time I was in the local shop, guess what I spotted on offer for £1 a bag!

Gone... In 60 seconds... 😂

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.

Nah you have to at least pretend to be high brow about it... Get a plate, and a knife, pretend to yourself and everyone else that you're not going to munch the whole thing in one sitting!

I don't think I have ever managed to actually leave one unfinished mind!

That reminds me... They're not the easiest things to come by these days! Every corner shop used to sell em when I was a student, nowadays you really have to know where to look to buy one! ☹️

Jaffa Cakes. Always bought at least as a twin pack, in case anyone else wants one.

I was genuinely gutted when they reduced a pack size from 12 to 10... Why? Well the temptation to open a second pack because of feeling short changed by 2, and the inevitability that the remaining 8 would just get demolished as a consequence too... 🤷🏻‍♂️

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.

Marmite?!?! Dear God no!

However... Replace it with Bovril, and I'm right there with you... I've been known to take the toaster into the living room in years gone by, along with a loaf of sliced wholemeal bread, a tub of butter, and a pot of Bovril, and not emerge until one of the ingredients has run out! For some reason, I have to wash it all down with milk too... Never drink milk (other than in tea or coffee really), but I'll drink pint after pint of it whilst I'm noshing on Toast & Bovril!

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.

Agreed! Don't give the Maoam Stripes a go FFS though, cos the effect is similar, but they actually taste quite nice! 🤦🏻

For 4 weeks in the run up to Easter I was having a creme egg a day, every day, after lunch. I was happy in the knowledge that they stop selling them after Easter and I could go cold turkey then. Things didn't quite go to plan when I went into Waitrose with only 1 egg left at home, only to find them selling them off, 5 for a £1. I couldn't resist buying enough of the little beggars to last me till June 🙂

I was going to argue because the dark chocolate ones are worse.

Also, dark chocolate terrys chcoclate orange.

But really those just taste nicer, but lack the unrelenting moorishness. Still only come in single portion packs though 😒

Crisps. Any crisps. But I've a penchant for cheap and nasty. You know, the kind that stick to your teeth and give you terrible heartburn? Mmmmm... dirty!

I’ve had to buy a bag of those Walkers Sensations, I’ll inhale them shortly. I have noticed the last couple of times they’ve been reduced they’ve been £1.25, not £1 😏

@Cougar Yes, love Jamaican Ginger cake, also great warm with custard. Anyone else also have to scrape every last crumb Off tHats stuck to the paper? I may resort to chewing the paper if no cutlery to hand

Coffee chocolate digestives sound horrendous

@The Pinkster

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.

You're eating pictures of food when the food runs out?

Hungry man.

Love 'em, but I never feel like a second one.

Yes to Pringles, the sour cream nacho ones are very popular here.

I'm demolishing the KP peanuts. Tempted to search out the coffee caramel McVities, but why would you need the coffee flavour as it will be dunked in a mug of coffee anyway?

These for me. The good thing is they're so hot that I can't eat them all in one go. I eat enough to get a good sweat on (around 1/4 to 1/3rd of a large bag).
