AIBU to find the word "treats" really cringey??

As in "oh I'm on a diet so limiting the amount of treats I eat" or "I brought some treats for the kids"...

In my mind it just really doesn't mean human food at all, it conjures up images of people knawing on a pedigree dentastix... or those disgusting meat sticks that the cats like...

*LIGHTHEARTED (obviously)! Yes I know I have too much time on my hands, but I'm still WFH and a bit bored...

We have a 'thing' here for 'treat boxes' made by the very numerous hobby bakers in my town and sold on facebook. A mixture of about 6 to 8 different sickly looking cakes, that make my teeth, quite frankly itch with the self indulgence of it all.

'Get some food' is the worst.
