What potentially toxic food did you love to eat when growing up?

In college I would go to the corner store and get nacho cheese chips, devil dogs and a roll of life savers and down the whole thing in one sitting--I could eat whatever I wanted back then but now old age has caught up with me

LOVED Devil Dogs!!!!! There was something about that chocolate cake! I used to beg Mom to buy me a box.

I've been told that lead actually tastes pretty good.

I loved those too. God only knows why. Never smoked a real one though.

How about those wax bottle candies?
And the candy dots?
Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream cakes
Super Big Gulps
Doritos (and I'm almost ashamed that I still like them, but at least it's a rare treat now)

Tang, Kool Aid, Fruity Peebles cereal, Oatmeal Pies, Cool Ranch Doritos, Fun Dip, Miracle Whip on bologna and American cheese Wonder bread sandwiches - yuck!

Fluffernutter and peanut butter sandwiches... or if Mom wasn't paying close attention, straight up fluffernutter!

Peeps!

Sadly, I still can't pass them up.

Told the same thing about pet food.

Doritos

You know, for all those who mention Doritos... the baked aren't half-bad. Obviously they're not GOOD for you, but when nothing else will satisfy, they will scratch that Doritos itch. I'm a Cheetos girl myself.

Slim Jims. Loved them as a teen. So gross to think about now. My kids have never tried them, or even wanted them. But they do like all those artificial colored and flavored candies.

In addition to loving many of the previous entries, I drank Tab sweetened with saccharine from the glass bottles for years starting from a very young age!
