in retrospect, bubble gum
i remember as a kid stuffing as many pieces as we could into our mouth, so we could "blow really big bubbles."


AAAAACK.
a horrible contributor to decades of TMJ, bad teeth, bad orthodontia, and a lifetime of excessive dental work.
UGH


gum of any kind is just horrible for the jaw

Lol. When I was a kid I used to swallow gum. Wrigglies Spearmint. Chew it until it's soft and then just eat the gum. If you chewed too long it no longer had any taste. My grandma told me I would get rubber balls in my stomach. She used to buy packs of it for my brother and I though. That's what grandmas are for.

A major league pitcher, "Catfish" Hunter, used to chew what he called a "Gamer". Bubble gum and Redman chewing tobacco.

A packet of (what I thought) were plain 'ol salted peanuts. These had some kind on lime flavor and it just sucked compared to regular salted peanuts.

Never been a fan of Raisins or Dates either.

And nothing can ruin a baked good like Coconut.

I tried fried pork skins out of curiosity. Not a fan and I gave most of them to the dog as treats. I just don't get the attraction. Its like eating a piece of bacon that crumbles to dust the second you bite it. And I imagine they're terrible for you.
I can get more out of real bacon bits on a turkey sandwich taste wise and don't even use more than to add the taste.

I know those cookies well. I can relate more than you know.

You reminded me of what has to be a finalist on this thread. Moon Pies. Speaking of trailer park goodness...

It was Sabritones from Frito Lay, which are chile and lime flavored chips.

The spicy chile flavor was fine but the lime just made it taste gross. They tasted like a hot, sour lime tree in my mouth.

I ate maybe 3 or 4 before I got too grossed out to eat any more of them.

I didn't try it but the Extreme Sour Pickle Pringles. My daughter got them and you could smell them 2 rooms away and they smelled like strong pickles and stinky feet.

Anything salt and vinegar flavored and those super sour candies. Seriously, who wants to eat sour candies? Candy is supposed to be sugary and sweet ::

They buy snack variety packs at my work. Mostly the tiny bags have stuff like cookies in them. One however is a bag of Scooby Snacks. They’re made up to look just like little dog bones. So if you just put them in a bowl or something it looks like you’re eating dog treats. I’ve tried some and while the taste isn’t too bad they’re hard little things that can do a number on your teeth.

Also, I don’t know if they still sell it, but Jimmy Dean used to sell frozen hot dogs on a stick wrapped in a chocolate chip pancake. I actually never tried that one, but did look at the calorie count and remembered it wasn’t as bad as you’d expect. No idea what the sodium level was on them, but I’d expect not great lol.
I would literally rather die than try that.
