To eat the same snacks as the DC?

Just facetimed with a friend and was having a coffee and a pack of organix mini gingerbread men and friend said 'You are so weird, do you not have adult biscuits with your coffee?' She was joking, but when I thought I about it, I eat a lot of the same snacks as the DC. Mainly because I think most snacks are the same in terms of type if that makes sense and it never occurs to me to buy different snacks for me and DH regularly. If we fancy a particular something, I will buy it, but day to day, I think a biscuit is a biscuit and it has the added benefit of being lower sugar/ salt whatever and a smaller portion size, I am a bugger for finishing open packets, so do find this useful and healthy. To me and DH Pom bears taste just as a good with dip on as fancy crisps, so why not. It all stops us having the 'I want you to eat these snacks, but we grown ups can eat these ones, discussions with the kids.' I also think mini Kinder bars are delicious, so I just eat 2 rather than one if I fancy some chocolate. Yogurts are of course different, because DH and I would need to eat a whole pack of little yeos to get enough yogurt! Even DS 6 has moved onto big yogurts!

So, AIBU and am I missing any mega kids snacks?

I have found my people!
I accidentally ate an entire packet of DS's Gruffalo crisps (they're like tiny monster munches for babies/toddlers and therefore salt free). Usually it's those Ella's kitchen carrot puffs that I can't resist. The Heinz Apple biscotti are immense too. And we also share yoghurt.

@SavoyCabbage

I wouldn't have been giving them to my dc in the house never mind scoffing them myself! Unless you are the Sultan of Brunei Stuff in packets is for when you have to take them out and about.
Same. Stuff in packets is reserved for bribes on days out. What’s wrong with a rich tea biscuit?

Pom bears are the best, get high all the time
