Drink some Topo Chico. The OG grapefruit flavored one is the best IMO.
OR, you can get some Mio and dump it in the regular flavorless Topo.

Re: Guilty-Pleasure Foods
Any sweet pastry/cookie basically. I have to make a concerted effort to only get 1 box when I go grocery shopping bc I can't control myself. Doesnt matter if its 10 boxes, I'll devour them all in a day or two if they're in the pantry. The rest has to be the low calorie Fiber One sweets or I'd be morbidly obese, tbh.

Hell fucking yes to the HEB ice cream. Java Chocolate Chunk is my flavor right now.
If I could live on nothing but ice cream, I'd probably be okay with that. :lol Other sweets not so much.

Love HEB ice creams too. I just got off a bad 3 month Java Chocolate Chunk jag lol. I noticed a change though. I think its the chocolate chips because its in their bakery cookies too. But no matter because now I have Coconut Almond Chocolate Chip! If you like an Almond Joy, this is really something. Then when it gets cooler I’ll switch to the Mexican Hot Chocolate :)

I like the White Chocolate Raspberry despite it having no white chocolate in it. But those dark chocolate pieces contrast well with the raspberry. The Caramel Turtle is good too. I'm disappointed lately with Blue Bell. I used to love the Southern Blackberry Cobbler but I got a half gallon of it last week and it has way less blackberry syrup in it and it tastes like they added cinnamon now. Blue Bell was so much better before they started poisoning people tbh.

I was never a big Blue Bell fan, so their poisoning stunts were just a slight inconvenience to me, but enough to drive me to HEB ice cream full time. Strawberry is the only berry I like and I still get Blue Bell for that. HEBs isn’t sweet enough for me.

Re: Guilty-Pleasure Foods
Lately those Reese’s peanut butter cup thins. Twice now I’ve gotten a bag that holds probably about 40 or so of them and finish them within 2 days. It’s bad. I’ll eat 5 in a row with no hesitation and apparently no immediate guilt.

Re: Guilty-Pleasure Foods
HEB did have their own recall for strawberry ice cream a few days ago. Something about metal shavings.
Blue Bell can go fuck themselves.

Same tbh. I don’t keep any sweets/pastries in my apartment because I’d devour them if I did, I have to basically avoid them completely.

If I buy four bags of Haribos they'll last about as long as one would lol. No interest in getting the beetus, so I stick to buying one bag and never store any. Weird how I had 100x more self control with cocaine than sugar. :lol
Also why I buy ice cream maybe once every month or two. Because I plow right through it.

They've done studies with rats that show sugar is way more addictive than cocaine (dead serious) :lol
I try to keep my fridge stocked with fruit so whenever I'm craving sugar I'll eat that rather than pastries.

As a senior in high school in 2012/2013 I was addicted to Haribo "Happy Cola" candies that I'd get from Walgreens

Smart.
I try to have fruit before any sugar in my day with varying results.

Those are good, but the fizzy colas with the sour sugar took those to the next level.

Yeah man a nice chunk of cantaloupe in season is fucking hard to beat. I love Granny Smith apples too (can't stand red ones though).

yeah a lot of this stuff is out of sight, out of mind.
even those piece of shit cheap cup noodles, or those ridiculously sodium packed progresso soups. the few times i've bought them, i tell myself im only going to use them in some situation where i dont have a meal prepped and have no real choice.
within 3 days they're all eaten. same with shit like hot pockets

switching from eating sugary kid cereals like fruit loops and shit to fiber one has been another positive change i've made. now my "sweet" variant of cereal is honey bunches of oats, with fiber one being my regular one.
except when i go nuts and buy a box of oreo o's. then that thing is gone in 4 days

Re: Guilty-Pleasure Foods
Fiber One looks and smells like rabbit pellets.
I feel good enough eating honey bunches with almonds or special k with berries

I don’t know who the hell eats those. Mealy. I like the GS as well but fine with Jazz, Honey Crisp...anything that’s tart. But can’t beat the GS for price.

I through phases where the cookie (whatever kind) isn’t enough so I’ll put peanut butter on them. Same with most ice creams.

Does Honey Bunches of Oats actually have any less sugar than Froot Loops? It tastes way too good for me to believe so. I just eat bland ass oatmeal with cinnamon since I don't want a sugar bomb in a daily meal. Tastes like shit but it's just fuel IMO.

Berries are where it’s at for me. Blueberries especially. I’m a big fan of pomegranate seeds too even though it’s expensive as shit to buy the seeds themselves (not gonna spend 15 minutes picking a pomegranate apart :lol)

Yeah honey bunches of oats definitely has loads of sugar, it tastes way too good not to.
The fact most Americans think your average breakfast cereal is healthy is one of the most well run (albeit destructive) multi-decade marketing campaigns we’ll ever see.
