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!

Olives
Cheese
Mango
Pork crackling unfortunately I found bags if it prepared and cooked - not scratchings at our local spanish market.
Salted walnuts

Ihateboris · 27/05/2026 19:49

Oh and Croustade crispy shells.

Haagen Daz pralines and cream ice cream - it I start the tub I’ll finish it all within half an hour

TheChosenTwo · 27/05/2026 20:05

Wotsits, quavers, pickled onion monster munch, cheese and onion hula hoops… basically kids crisps.
I’ve been on MJ for the last 18 months so I’ve lost interest in crisps. I bought a 6 pack of monster munch to see if i could ignore them. I couldn’t. I ate 2 packets a day for 3 days until they were all gone. And I could DEFINITELY very easily have eaten all 6 in one go. Only the fact that I know I have to prioritise nutrition stopped me because i was approaching a meal time and knew I would need space for real food!

Salted cashews, onion ring crisps from Co-Op or M&S giant chocolate buttons (any flavour will do!)

GrillaMilla · 27/05/2026 20:09

Chocolate raisins
Chocolate peanuts

Anything salt and vinegar I struggle to stop...Discos, Square crisps, can't go down the crisp aisle have to look the other way

Hummus, just eat the whole tub

Gherkins

whattheysay · 27/05/2026 20:10

Most things tbh

NotMyRealAccount · 27/05/2026 20:14

Frozen mixed berries.
Fresh watermelon.
Lightly steamed broccoli from my own garden.

Paprika or sour cream and chive flavoured crisps.

ThreeWordUsername · 27/05/2026 20:14

I reckon my subconscious sees anything in a "sharing bag" as a challenge tbh.

Pickled onion Monster Munch: food of the Gods 🙏🏻

Whosthetabbynow · 27/05/2026 20:19

@GrillaMilla Discos!! Can you still get Discos?? That’d be a trip back to the 70s

springintospring26 · 27/05/2026 20:24

Ritz biscuits

ThatWriterInTheCorner · 27/05/2026 20:25

Edamame beans served in the pod, After Eights and pistachio nuts (not at the same time, I'm not a complete animal). I think it's the ritual of unwrapping that draws me in

Idontjetwashthefucker · 27/05/2026 20:26

Strawberry pencils

MajorSamanthaCarter · 27/05/2026 20:30

Grapes
Dates
Aldi vegan fruit pastilles.

missmarybennetsspectacles · 27/05/2026 20:33

@Xanadu78 I think M&S are doing some of those lollies now.

TomatoSandwiches · 27/05/2026 20:39

A packet of Rich Teas aren't safe around me and a cup of coffee.

And I once considered stealing the cheese cubes and pickled onion hedgehog from my sister wedding .

Those big packets of Thai flavored prawn crackers, I will eat them until my tongue goes numb.

Amen sister. Perhaps I should be buying them more regularly since I reckon sales dramatically plummeted 18 months ago, I don’t want them to be discontinued due to lack of popularity 😭
unless you just want to buy them and eat them daily on my behalf?

Citygirlrurallife · 27/05/2026 16:23

I know how this is going to sound but cashews. They’re so moreish and I bloody love them. It’s genuinely a problem to eat them in the quantities I am wont to do - it’s a lot of fat and oil

also hot buttered and marmited bagels. How people do one half I don’t know

People eat half a bagel?! 😮

susiedaisy1912 · 27/05/2026 20:52

Stollen bites with marzipan
Baklava
Yum yums
Pringles
Cornish ice cream

TheBlueKoala · 27/05/2026 20:56

Beer, chocolate and lemon flavoured youghurt.

Much as I’d love to help out I’m going to resist. I look at them in Tesco and walk on by. That’s willpower lol 😂
