I have a very weird and strong love-hate relationship with food. Meaning that I am again on the Hacker's Diet which is basically just pretty talk for starvation.  That's right, I made myself an Eat Watch and lost a bunch of weight, then I moved to Alaska, stopped counting calories, and my trousers eventually stopped being loose and baggy. Starvation - scientifically, that's pretty much all any diet is composed of, and you would be wise to admit that to yourself, rather than gorging on pork rinds and soda and calling that a diet. You ain't foolin nobody, Atkins. Proctology and cardiology are gonna be big business any day now. If you eat nothing but bacon and eggs you are going to get cancer of the ass and a clogged aorta. I hate to break it to you like that.  

Anyway. Man, I am cranky. I like dill pickles, oat bran powder, big glassfuls of water, Diet Coke, iceberg lettuce...

Damn it! That's not true! That's not true at all! I want a mighty slab of cheesecake, a rack of lamb, some naan bread and chicken vindaloo, a tureen full of chocolate, some Doritos, poutine (I have never tried it before but all my Canadian friends swear by it), crab legs, lasagne, sashimi, dim sum chicken feet with pork glaze, the works. Dammit! Just get me a trough or a funnel or something.

Okay, I had better go get something healthy to eat before I gnaw off my own ear. Ciao!

Whoo. This thread really ballooned while I was out watching Firefly in someone else's common room. (GO COLLEGE)

Anyway, Zartan: I was watching Mythbusters late last night (WHOO COLLEGE), and they were studying news reports dealing with heated jawbreakers, well, exploding. Through rigorous analysis involving an artificial steel-toothed mouth, they determined that, when heated, large jawbreakers (the big ones with lots of layers) tend to heat unevenly, making one inner layer molten and liquid while keeping the crust intact. This tends to make them structurally unstable. I am not sure whether the same principle applies to Atomic Fireballs, but damn if I don't want to try!

Also, why are the Japanese so good at making candy? I'm almost out of the bag of melon gummies I bought a couple of weeks ago, and it saddens me, 'cause damn. They were very melony, in a totally natural-tasting way. It was rad.

Linnea: I understand your relationship with food; as I am pretty sure this thread makes clear, I am a man of Immediate_Cravvings. I am also a man who no longer has the metabolism of an adolescent ferret. This is why I drink as much diet soda as I do: it fills the snacky impulsive emptiness with calorie-free liquids and bloaty gas, and my unfortunate sensitivity to caffeine usually takes the edge off of whatever's left of the old appetite. I'm saving my calories for booze, dammit.

Also: I have had poutine once, but it was made for me by an honest-to-goodness Canadian, so I think that counts.

Poutine is, quite simply, god food.

EDIT: V, just how hot is the inside of your mouth? Is it Science Hot? Is there cause for Alarm?

Poutine is, quite simply, god food.

Seriously? I must confess to loving my cheese fries (one of the many signs that God loves us and wants us to be happy), but does the gravy really help?

EDIT: V, just how hot is the inside of your mouth? Is it Science Hot? Is there cause for Alarm?

My mouth, sadly, is not yet SCIENCE HOT. However, we have many microwaves, plus, so God help us, an industrial toaster. We have Ways of heating up Atomic Fireballs, you could say.

Snoballs- Creme-filled chocolate cake covered in marshmallow and coconut, which has been dyed pink. During Hallo'een, however, the coconut is dyed ORANGE.
Waffle fries with chez wiz.
Ginger ale.
Gatorade.

Last year, when I moved to New York, I lost  a lot of weight. This year, I gained it all back. I was wondering why, until I realized that now I drink an AMAZING quantity of beer.

I second AW's Little Debbieness, but typically only for the chocolate offerings. Fudge Rounds, Fudge Brownies, and (especially lately) Devil Squares tremble in my presence.

At Easter, I can eat n Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs, where n is the number of Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs manufactured for the season.

The same formula applies at Christmas for the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes, even though there's no chocolate.

Doughnuts. I offered to work a shift for a girl (and cut into my girlfriend time on the weekend), but she had to bring me doughnuts. A dozen Dunkin' Donuts arrived for me today. I didn't eat dinner. I had doughnuts.

Little Debbies.  Especially Fudge Rounds, Oatmeal Cream Cakes and Star Crunch.

Those wafer cookies with peanut butter in them.  Nutty Bars, I think they're called?  Man they're good.  Haven't had one in an age though.

Mmm, Nutty Bars.  Ate a lot of those while I was preggerant.

Ben and Jerry's mint oreo cookie was the best ice cream I ever had, but I guess I was the only person who liked it because it does not exist anymore.  Bryer's mint chocolate chip is a fair runner-up..
