Mmmm! Guilty pleasures. If it’s sweet, I’m in there like a dirty shirt. Love icecream, cookies, cakes, chocolate (of course!). Problem is with guilty pleasures comes the guilt afterward…can we just have the pleasure and forego the guilt?

Reese’s peanut butter cups and diet coke. There’s something about the two together that satisfies the afternoon munchies.

KFC original recipe - just once a year is all I can muster.

Girl Scout cookies - Samoas and thin mint. Hopefully my annual order should be coming in soon.

Popcorn. I prefer it airpopped at home; however, I have to get it anytime i go to the theater, and it’s only appropriate when you request they put the liquid fake butter on halfway through filling your bag, and again on top.

Spicy Chicken Fillet sandwich from Wendys. It’s the only thing I ever want to order when I go there.

I’m sure I have others, but those are the first 2 that pop into my mind.

Freeze pops, pretty much any potato chip, and pretty much any type of chewy candy, particularly sour candy (sour-patch kids, etc.) come to mind. Even fries and wings at most bars. Have had them from Buffalo Wild Wings several times recently, since it’s the de facto post Friday night soccer game stop for our “team”. They’re not even very good — make much better ones at home — but I still pound them down.

wendy’s fries are some of the worst, which is why one should dip them into their chocolate (as if there’s any other kind!) frosty.

Rebekah–
Aurora’s sister Julia does that with her frosty and fries, too–but I just don’t get it. For one thing, the fries at Wendy’s are the worst in fast food; and for another, everyone (meaning me) knows that to tolerate them, you have to eat them with a side of that nasty pump cheese they serve on top of the baked potatoes!

Taco Bell’s Mexican Pizza - great combo of flavor & texture
grocery store nacho sauce-yeah, it’s just plastic goo in a jar but WOW does it hit the spot, especially with some blue corn tortilla chips for contrast

Kraft Deluxe Macaroni and Cheese. It’s the kind with the (otherwise) revolting foil packet of creamy processed cheese food product. But not the Velveeta brand. That stuff is nasty!

Beef Jerky… hot and teriyaki. Especially when heading out for a road trip.
Cool Ranch Doritos. I haven’t had any since I met my wife but I still crave their stinky goodness fortnightly!
There is a processed gruyere-type cheese that comes individually wrapped in foil in a circular cardboard box. It is called Zingg cheese. I think that it is meant to be melted and used as fondue but I just love em straight outta tha foil!
Kraft Dinner (in the U.S. I believe it is called Kraft Mac ‘n Cheese). I think that so many Canadian students and poverty stricken people were eating so much of this stuff for dinner alone Kraft decided to market it more as a main than a side. I eat it and feel that guilty pleasure that is associated with the whacky-ness of youth.
And finally, Dairy Queen: Peanut Buster Parfait! ’nuff said.
