That thing where you just can't stop once you have started.

I am not a greedy person and often leave food once I'm full, can stick to one packet of crisps, a couple of biscuits etc but haribo sweets, specifically gold bears, I keep saying each handful will be the last and then the packet is gone 🤐 I need to stop buying them!

Boiled sweets
Toffees

Jaffa cakes or crack cakes as they're known in our house. Also love the hot honey and mango varieties, but the classic Jaffa cake is still the best.

Oh don't be so middle class. Pick up a bag of crisps like the rest of us.

Pistachios in the shell.

Wotsits. I make sure I never buy them

Me too. The crunchy ones are just gorgeous but only come in 150g bags

BrieAndLetBrie · 27/05/2026 18:55

Wotsits and skips. Also m&s sour fizzy snakes, until I gave myself what felt like a chemical burn inside the whole of my mouth after gorging myself on too many packs in close succession. Could barely manage to eat or drink because of the pain for days . Almost worth it though 😆

Nincompoo · 27/05/2026 18:57

Bread and proper salty butter, I have an absolutely infinite capacity for it.

BrieAndLetBrie · 27/05/2026 18:57

I also once ate a 12 pack of wotsits all at once when I started at uni and realised I could eat whatever I wanted… I wish I could say I regretted it

Whosthetabbynow · 27/05/2026 16:37

Wotsits dipped in humous would be like crack for me

Made me laff

HazelWasps · 27/05/2026 19:04

Salt and vinegar crisps. Also this week I discovered that, despite not being able to eat much of most kinds of chocolate, mini Daims are the exception!

OMG what about the giant hot ones!!!!

Middlemarch123 · 27/05/2026 19:13

Turkish Delight. Proper stuff, not bars coated in chocolate made by Fry’s. I can get enough of rose and lemon TD, coated in icing sugar in a wooden box. Food of the Turkish Gods

mumofoneAloneandwell · 27/05/2026 19:13

Omg

Bacon sandwiches

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 27/05/2026 19:24

Crisps and cheese. I can easily scarf a sharing bag of crisps.

BertieBotts · 27/05/2026 19:27

Biscuits, and yes, Haribo.

Also the Aldi dupe of Softmints/Mentos they sell at the tills. I got them just to have something to munch on when I do the school run because they used to be quite hard and reminded me of softmints (which I prefer to Mentos) but they have changed the recipe and made them more chewy and soft now.

Either way it quickly went from one per school run to 3/4 or half a packet Grin

Cheese 🧀

Absolutely agree

BertieBotts · 27/05/2026 19:28

Oh have to agree with roast chicken as well. Unfortunately my children agree. There are no everlasting MN chickens in our house! DH is lucky if there is enough for him to make a sandwich with the scrapings off the bones by the time he gets to it.

fruitypancake · 27/05/2026 19:29

Those sour cream and chive pretzels 🥨 omg they are like crack

TheBestSpoon · 27/05/2026 19:32

Crispy roast chicken skin
Tunnocks teacakes
Hot cross buns
Ben & Jerry's Phish food

And my absolute kryptonite: M&S extremely chocolatey dark chocolate rounds. I absolutely cannot buy them unless I'm prepared for them to be gone in seconds...

Haribo starmix
Haribo tangfastics
Percy pigs
Percy pig fizzy pigtails
