Yeah it was definitely early 80's. I love Dr Pepper too and when I saw a case of the Heritage Dr Pepper in Giant I slammed it into the cart so fast I'm surprised it didn't explode. Last weekend I went to Home Depot behind Montgomery Mall and they had........ Mexican Coke. In beautiful little glass bottles. I'm another sugary cereal addict. My favorite is Peanut Butter Crunch and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Maybe once every few months I'll see them on sale or come across a coupon and think *Why not?* Costco in Arlington sells coke made in Mexico with pure can sugar in glass bottles. !!!! It's time for a road trip! |

Me tooooooo!!!! And chocolate milk. And the mini doughnut holes. And doritos. And corn dogs and funnel cake. Of course I found out I have insulin resistance and now carbs are very limited. But DH went out of town a couple of weeks ago and the first thing I bought was nutella. |

Sincere question: what is "embarrassing" about the occasional soda, or french fries? I get that it's a guilty pleasure, something you wouldn't eat every day, but "embarrassing"? Like, you wouldn't want your grandmother or your boss to see you doing it?
Now, a grownup stuffing a fluffernutter down her gullet, that's mildly blush-worthy. My cousin confessed to me once, after a couple of drinks, that she really really loves the taste of infant formula, and continued to buy it for herself after her kid moved on to whole milk. THAT'S embarrassing. So are you soda/ fries/ sweetened cereal types actually humiliated when you indulge these, er, "culinary" peccadilloes? Or are you just saying that you realize this is not a healthy thing to eat? |

I don't get it, either. McDonald's isn't exactly healthy, but eating there isn't embarrassment worthy. Unless, you're eating a McRib. To THAT poster, I say, "well done." |

That is so funny. I use the ready to serve formula (Similac) and I actually like the taste of it. I used it once with Cheerios when we ran out of milk. |

"a frozen blueberry waffle, peanut butter and peep sandwich. Yum! "
All right, I think this one wins. Personally, I'm a Chez-its addict, though will sometimes do the cheese pretzel Combos. Also, Kit-Kats, Snickers and Hershey's Peanut Butter Cups. Every once in a while tater tots or Raman. But most of the other stuff I can't eat any more - my body can't deal with the high amounts of salt or sugar, so I actually don't want it.

I don't think anyone is truly embarrassed, but in light of the facts surrounding these junk foods the fact that anyone who can read and is fairly educated about health, it it a wonder that people still eat these foods. More of a "guilty pleasure" might be a better description. And for the record, YES, I am embarrassed to patron a McDonalds fast food restaurant outside of the necessity of a long road trip without other options. Have you seen the size of most of the customer's in there? It gets a bad rap for a very good reason. |

| M&Ms. Sometimes I buy a bag (or two) at the store and have to eat them as soon as I get in the car, hoping nobody I know walks by and sees me snarfing them down. King-sized bags of M&Ms and large bottles of Diet Coke got me through many late nights at college and law school. So much so that the kid at the convenience store across the street from my apartment once said to me, "You really like M&M's, don't you?," and I was so emabarrassed to have been "found out" that I had to start buying my king-sized bags somewhere else. |

OMG, I love this thread. Some of my guilty pleasures have been named:
Doritos, both cool and original nacho McDs anything, regular cokes. Wendy's or KFC LOVE the toxic spagettios with "meat"balls Love mac n cheese, the fake-er and cheesier, the better. My MIL makes this for the kids sometimes when she is cooking and the adults are supposed to eat some other things, but I just want to eat their mac n cheese! My cookie fetishes are Milano cookies. (I once ate a whole bag when I was nursing--could NOT stop eating those) Also love the old-school chips ahoy. (not the softbake anything, has to be those old, hard ones.) BTW, I am 130lbs and probably indulge in foods like these at 1-2 meals a week. My husband is always appalled. (he has other bad habits though, so he can suck it.) |

Pop rocks! If I find some I will eat them until I get the shakes from the sugar.
I also love dippin dots and anything that is bubblegum or cotton candy flavored. |

| Oooh, Reeses Peanut Butter Eggs. Perfect ratio of chocolate and peanut butter in the egg shape DH and I once polished off a bag of those right before some friends decided to stopbon unannounced. That was embarrassing--wrappers strewn across the coffee table. |

We lived at the pool in the summer, and the ice cream man sold these, we called it lunch! I don't even know if my parents knew where we were for the majority of the day... Ahh the good old days What are heritage sodas? Just the soda without the corn syrup? Are these at regular grocery stores? |
