5@5 is a daily, food-related list from chefs, writers, political pundits, musicians, actors, and all manner of opinionated people from around the globe.
Guilty food pleasures: they're so wrong, yet oh-so right. From neon-hued mac 'n' cheese to cheeseburger-flavored tortilla chips, seems everybody has one or five ... even say, an editor-in-chief of a major food magazine.
James Oseland has been the editor-in-chief of 'Saveur' magazine since 2006, and also acts as judge on Bravo's "Top Chef Masters." Now, he's ready to spill the beans and get some guilty food pleasures off his chest. This is a no judgment zone. Guilty, schmilty!
5 Foods I Am (Only Somewhat) Ashamed to Say I Love: James Oseland
1. Dr. Pepper
"Every time I take a sip of this stuff (I try to limit my annual consumption to no more than three cans), I am reminded of a line I heard someone say on Mary Hartman - the 1970s Norman Lear-produced soap opera satire - when I was about 13 years old: 'Drink it; it’s delicious nectar of the gods.' With its round-noted, cherry-esque flavors, it is exactly that, and more. Forget all the newfangled 'artisanal,' small-batch lemongrass-and-lavender sodas that are popping up like rabbits these days; Dr. Pepper is the most brilliant soft drink out there. Period."
2. BBQ Potato Chips
"All varieties. All the time. From Kettle Chips to Wise to Ruffles, BBQ-flavored potato chips kick ass. They are salty and sweet and smoky and crisp and crunchy, and they come in the most gorgeous, sunset-y hues known to man. Is there anything more you could want from a food? (And they’re even better when washed down with a salt-counterbalancing swig of straight-from-the-can Dr. Pepper - which, in effect, kills two of my long-standing trash-food obsessions with one stone. Oh, rapture without end!)"
3. McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish Sandwiches
"I’m sorry, I know it is the height of foodie irresponsibility even to admit to setting foot inside the Evil Death Star that is McDonald’s, but the mega-chain’s Filet-O-Fish sandwiches are perfection on a bun. (The editor-in-chief of Saveur likes McDonald’s? Call the President!) From the crisp wedge of battered, fried fish to the dainty dab of tartar sauce, they are a miracle of food science. I remember that the first thing I wanted to eat upon returning the States after spending ten months in a South Indian village sleeping on a mat and eating a strict vegetarian diet was a Filet-O-Fish sammy. They are that important to me."
4. Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bars
"Okay, okay, there are some really sophisticated chocolates available nowadays. And, yes, many of those chocolates are produced using cacao farmed under some seemingly great, free-trade conditions. But when I need a chocolate fix, there is nothing more satisfying than a Hershey's Bar. Its velvety mouth-feel and subtle, caramel-like sweetness connect to my pleasure sensors (and to happy childhood memories) in an immediate, primal way."
5. Swiss Miss Creamy Vanilla Pudding Cups
"Admitting to loving this 'food' as much as I do kind of freaks me out. Pudding cups, in all forms, are pretty reprehensible foods, filled with all sorts of incredibly nasty synthetic things. But, God, do they taste good, especially the vanilla variety from Swiss Miss. Its smooth, buttery goodness makes me instantly forget all the bad things I’ve ever said about factory food."
Got a food you're a wee bit embarrassed to admit you eat? Consider the comment section your food confessional.
Is there someone you'd like to see in the hot seat? Let us know in the comments below and if we agree, we'll do our best to chase 'em down.
Frozen Cokes (aka Coke Slurpees), toffee-nut lattes, and blueberry-vanilla bubble teas also help to soothe my aches and make me happy enough to want to write again.
Thanks for your marvelous posting! I genuinely enjoyed reading it, you might be a great author.I will make sure to bookmark your blog and will often come back someday. I want to encourage that you continue your great posts, have a nice afternoon!

The sad thing with my list is I do NOT moderate which I should. I drink Starbucks twice a day. It is my happy place! Everyone needs one! I also try to go out to eat to chuys once every 2 weeks. And yesturday after work I was eating Nutella with a spoon and Sun chips with my lunch! Gosh, I need to cut back before it is too late!

Fudge slide *** Pardon moi.
This has brought back so many memories! Not sure if that is a good thing...now I have images of onion-soup-mix dip & chips, crunchy cheetos, samoas, taco bell burritos, cadbury mini-eggs, grilled cheese and all kinds of fried food dancing in my head. What a combination. And I don't think I'll be able to pass up trying some cheeseburger flavor doritos next time I go to the store.
Anyway, here are some additions I don't think have been mentioned yet...
-Dill pickle flavor potato chips (found them in canada but they don't seem popular in the us. there is a little company in va that makes them - yum!)
-Houlihan's 'shrooms (huge fried mushrooms filled with a cream cheese concoction with creamy horseradish sauce for dipping)
-Annie's mexican mac cheese mix (set aside some of the pasta before cooking to maximize the sauce - probably could add some spices to regular mac cheese but never thought about it before this thread)
-Orange crackers with peanut butter (there used to be a reduced fat version but haven't seen it in stores for a long time)
-Dunkin donuts glazed chocolate donuts - or even better donut holes (not sure you can get a box of the donut holes that only has chocolate ones...)
Thanks to everyone who contributed their lists - what a fun read!
Oh i agree I do love the fish fillet at mc donalds but I feel so guilty eating that I have someone else order it and take a bit lol.
Im not sure I have a guilty pleasure, because I eat what I like when I want it. I guess if I had to pick something it would be.... pudding! I love pudding. I dont care what flavor, I even love the fat free, but not sugar free. Almost anything fried off the jack in the box menu, so with that said I tend to stay away from there lol Oh Petey!! I LOVE spaghetti O's cold from the can, on white bread with butter, I guess thats as guilty as it gets haha
1) White Castle Cheeseburger (yep sliders baby!!!)
2) Vita – herring in sour cream
3) Smartfood White Cheddar Popcorn
4) Chef Boy-r-dee Cheese Ravioli
5) Lobster Thermidor au Crevettes with a mornay sauce served in the Provencale manner with shallots and aubergines, garnished with truffle pate, brandy and with a fried egg on top and spam.
Tootsie Rolls- disgusting yet brilliant (kind of like my ex boyfriend)
Candy Corns- ditto
Egg Noodles- prefereably Light and fluffy brand, medium width with lots and lots of butter
Nathan's French Fries- anyone from the NYC area knows what I'm talking about- I don't mean the chain versions, I mean going to Coney Island for a hot, salty batch of fries served in a paper dish with a red plastic two pronged fork stuck in the top
Roy Rogers Gold Rush Chicken Snadwich- there are so few Roy Rogers restaurants laft, but when I was growing up they were all over. It's a fried chicken breast with bacon, monterey jack and honey bbq sauce served on a soft white seedless bun. Even better when enjoyed with RR french fries dipped in their amazing regular bbq sauce.
Make sure you get cheese on those Nathan's fries!!!!! yuummmmm
1. Cheese curds, beer-battered and deep fried. And don't you dare pollute them with ketchup!
2. Original Pringles scooping up (not merely dipping) sour cream.
3. Ham salad on crackers.
4. Mrs. Grass chicken noodle soup, with the mysterious flavor capsule (full of chicken grease).
5. Miracle Whip.
I am ashamed to admit loving these things not because they are "bad" for me, health-wise, so much as because they are so . . . un-foodie. I love a good gourmet meal, get serious enjoyment from distinguishing the subtle nuances of this chocolate versus that . . . but sometimes I just yearn for the greasy, salty, low-brow comfort foods of my youth.
I got this pet fantasy where I eat a nice, juicy, rare horsemeat or bison steak with my bare hands, 6 inches away from a struggling, indignant, disgusted PETA freak who is tied to a chair. She looks like Sharon Stone and she is livid, she tries to kick me with her stiletto heels but I swat her feet away, taking huge, delicious bites of seared meat; there, I 'fessed up, please don't judge me...
-Salt and Vinegar Chips
-Chicken Lo Mein (takeout)
-TACO BELL
-Snickers Ice Cream Bar
-Sonic Popcorn Chicken
I have to agree about the Hershey's chocolate... there's a lot of amazing chocolate out there, and I have been through most it – but there's something indescribable about a Hershey bar. Plus, there isn't a chocolate out there that melts as perfectly in your mouth as Hershey's.
omg, this guy's my guilty pleasure soul mate...

1. Cheeze Whiz (the canned stuff thats really good on Triscuits)
2. KFC biscuits

Thank you! Loved the butter pecan growing up. Live in PA now...no other ice cream compares.
My list
1. JiB tacos
2. Blue bell ice cream butter pecan
3. flaming hot Cheetos
4. Habanero Doritos
5 Wendy's chocolate Frosty
Ore-Ida® Tater Tots® - with ranch dressing, ketchup, Tobasco sauce and a beer. OK, after a J, too. Goes well with Syfy, BTW.
Popeye's fried chicken, spicy.
What do I eat that I am ashamed to admit?
NOTHING.
If someone thinks they're worthy of judging what I eat, or think they're going to try to tell me what I can't eat (I'm looking at YOU, New York Health Department), or even that they have the right to SPEAK to me about it, I have a complimentary meal for them. It's called a "knuckle sandwich" served with "mind your own business sauce".
I understand it's low in calories.
That being said, in the spirit of the day, there are a few things I eat that others may think I shouldn't, which just makes them taste better. Disapproval is sweet.
Fried Spam sandwiches with sweet pickle relish.
PB&J with bacon
Fillet mignon with pepper-bacon
Bacon with bacon
Chile con carnage (steak chili, no beans, no ground meat). Served with honeyed corn bread, of course.
Pork sausage/apple stuffing, served as the main dish

Forgot one. McDonald's Sausage McMuffin with Egg and Cheese. Godlike, especially in twos.

1) Sonic's chili cheese foot long hot dog & chili cheese tots

4) Orange Juice or any Juice period

Oh someone mentioned Roberto's in San Diego...There are Roberto's in Vegas too and there three rolled tacos with geacamole and cheese are perfect after a night of dancing. Love Rubio's grilled fish tacos on corn tortillas with salsa verde and guac (hold the sauce). And Samoas and Thin Mints are my fave Girl Scout Cookies (I just put the Thin Mints in the freezer...yum!) It's a good thing GSC are sold once a year!!!
I fail to understand how so many people can make so many negative posts about such a fun article – and I hate to be limited to 5!
- Potatoes in any form, but Grippo's BBQ chips and Rally's fires ( though I am a fry fan, these rock!) are the best!
– Chopped steak fried with onions (lots of them) and mushrooms, with Campbell's cream of mushroom soup for gravy
– KFC popcorn chicken
– Chick Fil-a original
– Cream cheese danishes
OK, Top Ramen cream of chicken flavor deserve a mention as well!
Things I loved as a kid, but sadly don't taste good to me anymore:
1. Chef-Boyardee Beefaroni
2. Instant Jello-pudding, chocolate (the powdered stuff from a box that you mix with milk)
3. McD's burgers
4. KFC mashed potatoes
5. Hershey's Bar
Current guilty pleasures:
1. Helluva Good French Onion dip with Wise Chips (only eaten when I go home to W PA to visit family because Seattle has not discovered the joy that is Helluva Good!!)
2. Corndogs from a fair or festival
3. Breyer's Oreo ice-cream eaten out of the container with a long-handled ice tea spoon!
4. Raw Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (homemade, Nestle's Tollhouse Recipe made with butter, of course)
5. Doritos, nacho flavored, with a Diet Coke
I fail to understand how people can make so many negative comments about such a fun article! And, I also hate being limited to 5...
– potatoes in any form, though Grippo's BBQ chips and Rally's fries (fries are crack for me, but these are the absolute best) are the food of the gods!
– Chick Fil-a original sandwich
– KFC popcorn chicken
– chopped steak fried with (lots of) onions and mushrooms and Campbell's cream of mushroom soup for gravy
– general tso's chicken...with salt..yes, I know, but after all the carbs and fat, who cares?

2. Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Cookies
3. Starburst
4. Taco Bell – Beef Taco Supreme
5. Zaxby's Chicken Finger Meal + a small cole slaw

4) fritos and cottage cheese
5) mollejitas (sweetbreads) plate from dannys in laredo
6) and for all you mcd haters tooooo bad cheesebuger mcdoubles
7) and coke classic so cold that little frost forms on the rim of your glass
come to think of it if i was on death row these 7 items would be my last meal
I have had alot of fun reading this article and the posts afterwards maybe James Oseland should write his next article on what would your last meal be.
Now he needs to make a top 5 list of other things he puts in his mouth that he is "(Only Somewhat) Ashamed to Say I Love"
Waffle house Hash Browns w cheese
Any Decent local cheesesteak Forefathers in phoenix or pats in Philly as the standard
Mexican coke with real cherry syrup added
PF Changs Dry Rub Northern Ribs
Haagen Daz Choc Chip Ice Cream
BEAT THAT LIST LOSERS
Why are vegans reading this article? The ability of humans to eat most anything is a survival instinct. I too like Dr. Pepper & McD's fish sandwich. When I get to the "pearly gates", I want to be eating a piece of my Gran's cherry pie & drinking a large glass of Vit. D milk)))))
I've never had a filet-o-fish before, and after reading all these comments, I know its in my best interest not to ever try one!! I'm one of those females who are "permanently" on a diet, except when i get the drunken cravings, and I can already tell the filet-o-fish would be the end of me!!
My list (from the good ol college days of cheap eats and not realizing about addicting foods):
Taco Bell Grilled Stuffed Burrito
Cheesecake Factory Banana Cream Cheesecake
Hershey's Cookies and Cream Bars
Deliciously greasy fried chicken and biscuits with honey.
New york style pizza
Papa John's Garlic butter sauce that is like crack!
Ken's Steakhouse Honey Mustard from the grocery store (I'd slather it on EVERYTHING)
Skippy Reduced Fat Peanut Butter (I still eat this in giant spoonfuls sometimes before running)
McDonald's Big Mac
Crab Rangoons
Cinnamon Crunch bagels from Panera
Any type of real fruit smoothie with whipped cream on top
Homeade ranch..especially with wings, pizza, or burgers.
Ironically, I hate nearly everything else that's chocolate based, deep fried, or involves bacon. Yet I eat a salad with nearly every meal and workout regularly. This is my guilty list. Judge me how you like, but I bet not one of the above people who commented are obese. The difference: we know these foods are bad for us and do something about it, people who are morbidly obese eat these chemical-based foods and do nothing.
So all you haters with nothing better to do, move on. No one's perfect.
I am ashamed to say I love sweetened condensed milk straight from the can. Poured on a spoon and licked off. Repeatedly.
My 5 guilty pleasures:
1. Dove Dark Chocolates. (yes I am a chocolate snob – I admit it. I have these stashed around my house)
2. Del Taco Quesadillas. I can't stand anything at Taco Bell but I love Del Taco.
3. Foster Freeze Chocolate Malts – the BEST
4. Lemon Pound Cake from Starbucks. My daughters work there, and sometimes they would bring home goodies past their due date. The Lemon Pound cakes melts in your mouth but it is 500 CALORIES per slice!!!!! I rarely eat this anymore.
5. Bob's Big Boy Double Decker Hamburger with fries and a Hot Fudge Cake. It's Elias Brothers Big Boy on the East coast. Big Boy closed down in most California cities, but they are making a comeback. There is one by my inlaws who we only see once a year. We must eat there so I can get my fill. Big Boy burgers remind me of my childhood in Michigan. I will fast the next day just to get the Double decker, fries and that incredible hot fudge cake for dessert!
How about Jello Pudding pops?! Oh yeah!!!!
I have been on the Optifast program since June 10. Yeah, that's a liquid diet. For some incredibly perverse reason, I am loving reading everyone's guilty pleasures. I've had most of them, and just reading about them, I can almost taste them again. Mmmmmmm...
When I get off this plan, I will not be going back to the way I used to eat. I know some people can get away with it, but I can't. But here is what I used to love, and who knows...maybe I'll pick ONE to have once a year!
1. Fried pork dumplings
2. Marshmallow Peeps
3. Warm toasted poppy seed bagel with lots of chive cheese, preferably from a Jewish bakery in Brookline, MA
4. Hostess Apple Pie - do they still make them? Freakin' COATED with sugar :o)
5. Fritos with Helluvagood sour cream and onion dip
K, going to gnaw on one of my dog's nylabones now. Cheers.
I live in California and gotta have that In N Out Burger. Nothing beats a double double animal style with animal fries.
1) Velveeta Shells & Cheese
2) Wienerschnitzel chili cheese dogs
3) Jack in the Box tacos
4) Oreos
5) Pizza Pringles
I normally cook all my food from scratch (seriously) but every once I a while I really crave a Chinese food buffet. I go and pile up the crunchy fried shrimp, the rice, broccoli, chicken on a stick...you name it (except for the raw seafood. I love life). I usually have 3 platefuls... then I'm done for another year. But for an hour I'm in MSG heaven.
If anyone lives in Southern Arizona (as I do) then hands down the BEST guilty pleasure is anything from Lucky Wishbone. It's all fried food, and served with cocktail sauce. OMFG, the best.
What a lovely column!
1. Ring Dings or Ho-Hos (same thing). When I was kid there was a better version, called a Big Wheel. Alas, they are no more.
2. Friendly's Fishamajig sandwiches
3. Deep-fried pickles w/ tartar sauce (New Orleans is calling me!)
4. White Castle burgers
5. Krispy Kreme raspberry jelly doughnuts
I'd better stop – I'm making myself sick!
1. FunkyChunky pretzel snacks from Nordstrom
2. Fat Darryl – from Rutgers grease trucks when I was in college
Fat Romano!
I hate to even admit it but I LOVE BBQ Pork Rinds. I know...disgusting...but they are SO GOOD!
Mr Oseland's taste in "food" that he considers "guilty pleasures" is regrettable. He should just man up and proclaim to occasionally enjoy putting garbage in his feeding orifice.
1) Mac & Cheeze
2) Bacon, egg & Cheeze biscuit from Whataburger
3) Chicken-fried steak
4) Dr. Pepper
I also love Wise BBQ chips. In my area (between Baltimore and Annapolis), they're are not regularly carried by the local stores. When they have them, word spreads and they're soon sold out. You'd think the stores would catch on, but the local managers tell me all buying is determined at corporate headquarters. And – as far as Hershey bars go – Costco sells them in boxes of about 36 regular-size bars. If I buy a box (with almonds!) I gain 5 pounds – so they're now banned at my house! Cheddar-Jack Cheezits and Ritz Sour Cream and Onion crackers are also excellent.
White Castle cheeseburgers,Sonic quarter pound chili cheese coney,anything from Taco bell especially the new pork carnitas tacos,Popeye's spicy chicken, Cold stone creamery
Had to think a little to parse it down to 5:
1) fritos and a coke – gotta have 'em both
2) snickers with almonds (didn't that used to be the mars bar?)
3) ice cream sandwiches
4) fried pork rinds – the spicier the better
5) green chile cheeseburgers! (using only NM green chiles)
Moon pies, Whoppers
1. Fat Burger Bacon Cheese Burger
2. Edy's Chocolate Truffle Explosion Ice Cream
3. Cheese Fries
4. Spam
5. Cheetos
1 Pork Rinds
2 Spaghetti-O's with hotdogs
3 Swanson Pot Pies
4 Ham and Cheese Hot Pockets
5 Hot and Spicy Beef Jerky
Why be embarrassed, Mr. Self-important food person.
I'd be more embarrassed to eat veal, snails and dog than guilty pleasurers, so knock off the elitism.
OMG YOU ARE SO RIGHT! !
The most fun article ever! My evils:
1. Pho w/eye of round, lots of Basil, lots of jalapenos
2. Home made kimchee
3. Tuna sashimi with home made pickled cucumber, lots of wasabi and pickled ginger and some nice rice wine
4. pork mandoo with that hot and spicy soy sauce, ginger, garlic and hot pepper
5. A baby spinach salad with freshly fried bacon bits, perfect hard-boiled eggs, mushrooms and lemon and tangerine wedges.
Really guilty pleasure:
bitter chocolate and a cup of well brewed coffee
I live in London and there are times when I would almost kill for a Taco Bell. Yes, I know it's not 'real' mexican but its's soooooo good. When I lived in the US I used to be mad for Hostess Cupcakes (chocolate) but after 2 years away I had one a few months ago and I found it so sweet I couldn't eat it. I also found Fritos too salty to eat despite having eaten a bag a week for years – I guess your taste buds really do change after a while!
Just a week ago I had a Filet-O-Fish moment. It was worth it.
Top five indulgences:
1)KrispyCreme or really any light, so fresh it's still warm glazed donut
2)oreos
3)Wendy's original chicken sandwhich mayo, lettuce cheese
4)one eye fried egg and cheese on Wonder bread
5)fried pb and grape Jelly sandwhich with crunchy cheetos and an A&W Rootbeer
I will absolve you of all these wicked food desires/consumptions with the exception of the Hershey's milk chocolate bar. PLEASE SIR .... milk chocolate!!!
This sounds more like an advertisement for certain food/cpg retailers than Mr. Oseland's actual "guilty food pleasures."
1. Kettle cooked potato chips, dipped in a mixture of blue cheese dressing/Franks Red Hot mix
2. Deep fried pickled jalapenos dipped in a horseradish/mayo mix
3. Pretzel rods dipped in Nutella (good road food, if you keep a cooler)
4. Crinkle cut fries dipped in a mayo/BBQ mix
5. I'm down with the BBQ chips and fish sandwiches as well, but I can't roll with the American cheese on a Filet-o-Fish. Fish and chips would be my preference anyway.
And yes, I'm a bit of a condiment junkie.
I have to add...frozen Girl Scout Thin Mints.
I love this posting!!! So great to read all the items, hard to pick just a top 5.
1. Whitecastle burgers. (Live in CO and we don't have them here, it makes me sad)
2. Cheetos puff style
3. Braunschweiger – type of liverwurst, with mayo on white bread and a slice of velveeta cheese
4. Grilled clams in the shell filled with a bubbling cocktail sauce and butter mixture (forget the clam, just lick the sauce)
5. Taco Bell Meximelts with extra sour cream!!!
Ok, 2 of my many vices I have not seen mentioned so far so I felt the need to do so:
Harvest Cheddar Sunchips
and
Circus Animals Cookies (those little frosting covered animal crackers with the sprinkles, yummmmm)
"Circus Animals Cookies (those little frosting covered animal crackers with the sprinkles, yummmmm)"
Seriously girl, we need to get together. Are you married?
I will have to try JitB tacos and Five Guys. Never have been to either.
Love Dr Pepper. The only way I can eat Hersheys is those small bars Mr. Goodbar, Krakle, and Special Dark. Or with almonds. Plain Hersheys is plain nasty.
Some things I inhale (can't stop eating once I start but try not to have very often) are
Ritter Sport Marzipan covered in Dark Chocolate
Sprinkles' MOCHA flavor cupcake
Pringles potato chips
Trader Joe's Oreo equivalent (mint flavor especially). Liked regular Double Stuff growing up.
Peeps
I'm super hungry now...but here's my list in no particular order:
1> Crab Rangoon
2> Caramel Apple Empanada from Taco Hell
3> Vanilla Coke
4> Cinnamon sugar toast cheap white bread, lots of butter and a ton of cinnamon sugar
5> Wendys fries when they do them right, but dipped in Mcdonalds big mac sauce
my mom told me that the food a macdonalds is so bad for you that i can't ever have it . ever
1. Moonpies
2. Spicy Hot Pork Rinds
3. Nehi orange soda and vanilla ice cream float
4. Peanuts and Coke
5. Hardee's biscuits with smoked sausage or chicken
Can you tell I'm from the south? Disclaimer, I very rarely have these! But I sure do enjoy them when I have them once in a while!
Chocolate! x5
1.Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs that out only around Easter....I could eat a whole pack of those.
2.Chili Cheese Fries from Sonic...mmmmm they're the bomb!!!
3.Kettle Cooked Salt and Vinegar chips
4.Petit Fores....EPIC
5.Turtle Milkshake from Steak N Shake
Love the variety of it all.... I had completely forgotten about the fried bologny sandwich, it has been YEARS since I've had one but here is my list of sinful indulges that I allow myself from time to time....
1. Cracker Barrel pancakes with their original syrup hmmmmmm
2. Entenmanns pound cake with a glass of cold milk – love it, I can never just have one slice, always have to go for a second
3. Five guys cheeseburger with a coke
4. TGI Fridays Jack Daniels steak with extra sauce to dip the fries in
5. Guava and cheese- this is a Caribbean dessert, absolutely yummy!
It's nice to read something fun and relaxed from time to time, allows you to get away from the reality of things regarding our everyday media about war, oil spills, immigration etc, to those that had something negative to say remember "Be happy, its one way of being wise"
Bon Appetite!
Most of my guilty pleasures are of the sweet variety... I have a nasty sweet tooth that's constantly strives to get loose :) I'm usually good about not giving in, but every once in a while I have to let loose.
1. Cadbury Creme Eggs – the full size ones, not those silly mini ones! Every year around easter I am sooo tempted to just buy a case so I have them around for the rest of the year after they're taken off the shelves... But I know if I do they'll all be gone within a month!
2. Krispy Kremes – they just melt in your mouth... I hate it every time my coworkers bring them to morning meetings because they're so hard to resist
3. KFC – so greasy but so yummy...
4. The fudge recipe on the back of the jet-puffed marshmallow creme jars – I made a bunch of this in lieu of Christmas presents when I was going to a big family Christmas party when I was broke. I ended up gaining about 15 pounds from the leftovers when I made too much and didn't want to see it wasted... Never doing that again!
5. Lindt Chocolate Bunnies – found out about these this year... I always love Lindt chocolate, but for some reason its so much yummier in chocolate bunny form. Now if only the bunnies were solid instead of hollow...
Oh. my. gosh. The fudge recipe on the back of the Jet Puffed Marshmallow Creme jar is THE fudge recipe that my mom has made forever....every Christmas we have containers of that...along with the Magic Bars from the Carnation Sweetened Condensed Milk can...I get a huge sugar rush just thinking about it...
Funnel cakes with lots of powdered sugar...yummmmm
Nothing beats a Big Mac or Chicken McNuggets with Sweet & Sour Sauce! Chicken McNuggets are a culinary perfection and there is nothing else like them. They are a small piece of chicken blown up into a I hope McDonald's always keeps them on their menu and forget about the real chicken strip pieces. I love retro foods from the 1950's as well. My culinary dream is to have Sawnson bring back the TV dinner in the original aluminum trays.
1. Dr. Pepper w/ cane sugar (or whatever the formula in the UK is–it became a daily indulgence)
2. Fritos
3. Spam
4. Bacon
5. Dick's Deluxe with fries (and tartar sauce for the fries)
1) McDonald's Filet O Fish!!!
2) Pizza Bagel Bites
3) Spam
4) KFC & Taco Bell
5) Coke Slurpee
i hate the way hershey chocolate tastes...so cheap.
my foods would have to be Nutella, Cheese Steaks, Pizza,and just plain loafs of italian bread
Hmm.. My list is:
1. Deep dish pizza with sausage and mushroom from Pizzano's (chicago) and calamari
2. cheesecake from this small diner in western Illinois—the best
3. thai food
4. these big Italian meatballs that have fruit and nuts inside them-i don't know what they're called
5. bacon cheeseburger from grumpy bulldog in Naperville w/ onion rings
6. thai iced coffee—yum!
My weekeness is sunflower seeds....it's something about that salty little seed that just does it for me.
My real guilty pleasure is puffed CHEETOS....I had to admit to my trainer at the gym that I was still sneaking and eating them....I told him they're like "cheesy crack". I can't let them gooooo. He just laughed!.
I am also tragically fond of tutti-frutti and green apple Jelly-Bellys. Losing 40 lbs this year was very, very hard, and I miss them very much. ;)
a pepsi throwback right out of the freezer, so cold that it turns into a slushy and you have to gulp it down before it overflows the bottle.
a double mcdee's fish sammy – during lent, when they're 2 for $3.33 ( or something like that ), order 2 and toss the bottom bun, from both ( the top bun is just so soft and wonderful ) put together and go to heaven! and a side of large fries.

frozen reese's peanut butter cups
onion rings from quaker steak and lube!

3- Pizza-flavored Doritoes
4- Ramune (Japanese marble soda that comes in every flavor imaginable)
5- Mint Aero Bars (not easy to find in America...but so worth the extra 50 cents I pay at the International Food Mart)
So hungry from reading these lists! I'm a pretty healthy eater now, but here are some of my old-school guilty pleasures. I miss my friends... but not my gut :)
1. Dr Pepper
2. Waffle House hash browns. Don't remember their corporate lingo, but a double order with cheese, ham, onions, and peppers – mmmmm!
3. Pizza Hut Meat Lovers Hand-tossed Pizza
4. Taco Bell's Nacho Bell Grande and Enchiritos. I love the gooey mess at the bottom of the nacho bowl :)
5. Those mini-chocolate-covered donuts from the gas station. The ones that come like 8 in a tube?
Oh and Rice Krispie Treats made with double the marshmallow!!! Try it! You'll be in love!
Umm hello where are the Philadelphians?!? Tastykakes!!!
Any variety, but the seasonal Spice cake Krimpets are my Fav!!!!
1. Milky Way simply carmel
2. Krispy Kreme – HOT NOW
3. Giant Angus burger from anywhere!
4. Little Debbie Swiss Rolls
5. French Fries from Cook Out
Only 5? Really? Watermelon milk shake from Cook Out, Home made ice cream and home made potato chips. Bacon wrapped water chestnuts, deep fried. Cheerwine and Dr Pepper. Banana Carmel Torte from the UK kitchenaid website (this is an OH MY GOSH cake). Fried chicken made by somebody's grandma. I could go on forever!
For all the naysayers, I think the quip about "Puritanism is the vague uneasy feeling that someone, somewhere might be having fun" is appropriate.
And while I could not look at all of them, no one mentioned the DQ M&M's Blizzard in their list
Plus, these are my others:
baked macaroni and cheese
eggs Benedict
frozen egg rolls
chilis rejenos or Poppers
Vernor's Ginger Ale

3. Mike's Deep Fried Peanuts (eat the shell and all – these are AMAZING!)
4. Zaxby's Deep Fried Pickles

My twice a year indulgence is the deep fried okra from any Church's Chicken.

2. Dr. Pepper
3. Ketchup and Mayo mixed together
4. Double Stuffed Oreos (they arent allowed in my house)
5. Cheese Fries
@Kwicky . Love the Idea of tarter sauce on the side!! If not enough sauce it can destroy the essence of the sandwich.
You need to add a another side of hot fries. Mc D fries are the best next to Five Guys.
The other 4 on my list include
-Snickers
-Red Lobster Cheddar Biscuits
-Munchos
-Steak n Shake Double Milkshake
My mouth is watering!
1) deviled eggs
2) chipped beef gravy on biscuits
3) chocolate Hostess cupcakes
4) red velvet cake with that cooked fluffy white frosting
5) red beet pickled eggs
#1 weekend drinking sessions. There sessions because it's normally 10 hours of drinking mixed drinks till i PTFO.
#2 I want to cry when I leave a store without buying reeses peanut butter cups. (sometimes i buy and i go home happy.)
#3 Big Daddy Bacon Cheeseburger – Good times. (stopped going when they murdered Wild fries)
#4 Oreos – I haven’t had them for years. But i still crave them like i was 13 again.

Gravy – on potatos, biscuits, as a beverage
Cheesecake
Mint chocolate chip ice cream
Rasberry zingers
Void – you whine about social engineering, yet YOU are trying to insist that everyone agree with and think just like you do. You're the pot calling the kettle black.
ALL you Dr. Pepper lovers? I was born and raised in Dallas TX and grew up drinking the 'good' Dr. Pepper from Dublin. Well,. . . now the plant in Dublin (Dr. Pepper made with real sugar) is distributing 12 packs (cans) of teh REAL Dr. Pepper to be sold in stores around here. They have them in the Albertsons grocery stores. MMMMMM. . . good!
Let's face it: it's how much of those guilty pleasures that you it, not what. Two of my guilts are dark chocolate Snickers and Milky Way. The dark chocolate versions are SO much better than the regular ones. Another is potato chips, especially sour cream and onion. In reference to crackers, give me Cheez -it White Cheddar anyday over the regulars.
1.pork rinds
2.pickled eggs with beets
3.spicy boiled peanuts
4.trail bologna
5.spinach artichoke dip from Cheddars
After three months in Russia, all I wanted was a big bowl of instant mac'n cheese and a peanutbutter sandwich!
BK Double Cheeseburger
that lava cake from Applebees
birthday cake remix from Cold Stone Creamery (cake batter ice cream, brownies, hot fudge, sprinkles. luckily, the closest CSC is an hour and a half away, so I rarely eat it)
soft serve ice cream (choco/vanilla twist)
hershey milk chocolate
orange crush
pringles
burgers
cake
i try not to eat most of that too often.
I'm 39 years old and still can't resist Hostess Sno-balls. The mushy marshmallow with the confectiony coconut that smothers the always moist chocolate cake that envelops the creamy white filling...YUM
Ooooh Suzanne, say that again... ;)
1) YES – the McD's Filet o'Fish !! I recently had a craving that would not be denied (am I the only person on the planet doing chemotherapy that gets a crazed superappetite and weird food cravings?)
2) Potato chips and onion dip. Frito-Lay used to make this onion dip mix – you'd open the pouch and toss the contents into sour cream (how did I eat tons of this junk as a kid and stay so skinny)
3) Chocolate-topped custard-stuffed donuts from Suzy Jo's – the custard explosion when you bite into them
4) Pizza by the thin chewy greasy cheesy slice from the place in Penn Station NY. Trash pizza at its best!
5) Rice krispy treats
Most of these things I haven't had in years – but oH! the memories! And attention MARC – I want one of those lobster tacos!
1.Fritos with spicy bean dip
2.Pepper Jack Cheese
3.Doritos dipped in cottage cheese...yum I could eat the whole bag like this
4.Baja Beef Chalupas at Taco bell with tons of mild sauce
5.French Fries...any kind dipped in ranch dressing
Ohh and can't forget guacamole with tortilla chips mmmmmmmmm
I think I just gained 10 pounds just thinking about all this junk.
Oh and how can I forget creamy cheesy artichoke and spinach dip from Cheddars! Omgoodness its sooo good.
Doritos + cottage cheese sounds interesting.
Oh its soooo freakin good...nacho cheese doritos and regular cottage cheese...you have to try it
Receses Cups and Onion Rings from Sonic
There is no period in Dr Pepper!!!!
1. Fiery Habanero Doritos
2. Five Guys Bacon Cheeseburger (not the little one, the dual patty one)
3. Banana Cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory
4. Cream Puffs – the tiny kind that you buy from Costco, etc. I like to eat them semi frozen. They are heaven in my mouth.
5. Cheddar Cheese Combos
6. And to wash it all down...a Caffeine free Pepsi...on ice.
My husband and kids love cheddar cheese combos...I think they are disgusting..the smell of them makes me sick
I like the pizza ones though
He ought to be fired for this. With all the concerns about health these days, new about corn and fructose, you want to promote this garbage? How much are they paying you?
What about the old Pizza Hut "Priazzo"? Slathered in cheesy goodness, and probably the best thing they ever made.
Halo Burger with a Boston Cooler. Olives, natch.
1) Pepsi Throwback
2) Cheddar Cheetos "Natural"
3) Buffalo wings
4) Hot fudge sundae
5) Chili con queso
1. Five Guys bacon cheeseburger
2. Half-pound hot dog at Juniors in NYC (use fork and knife; can't eat like a regular hot dog)
3. Entenmann's chocolate pop-ems (glazed cake donut holes)
4. Hostess Chocodiles (I have to order them by the box from California; not sold in NY)
5. Jax (cheese doodles)
Unfortunately, I have all of these things far too often! But I'm happy!
I have to add one more.
6. Pepperoni and sausage pan pizza from Pizza Hut
If you are in NY, you SHOULD feel guilty about Pizza Hut. It's inedible!
Mmmmm...Five Guys burgers...
1. Hershey's anything
2. Coney Dog from Sonic
3. McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish Sandwiches
4. Love me some Dr. Pepper
5. Jimmy Johns #14 Bootlegger Sandwich with extra mayo
I'm not fat I just love food and even if I were I wouldn't be ashamed because food is love. LOL! I enjoyed everyone top 5. Let's keep on eating.
I absolutely agree with the barbecue chips and the Hershey's chocolate. I've tried other chocolates but Hershey's will always be my favorite. And the Filet-O-Fish is proof that fish and cheese do go together. These are some of my favorites:
1. Papa John's thin crust pizza with tomatoes and double pepperoni
2. Greasy truck stop food (especially a cheeseburger with ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, and pickles dipped in ranch dressing)
3. Frozen glazed donuts warmed in the microwave
4. Crab Rangoon
5. Bacon, egg, 'n cheese biscuits
1. Peanut Butter – damn, I am such a little "b" when it comes to this creamy nectar
2. Chocolate – again, little "b"
3. Philly Cheasteak
4. Tasty Cakes – God must be making these
5. Did I mention Peanut Butter..?
Make mine a Tandykakes! To die for!
The Tastykakes blueberry pie or the lemon pie comes in second!
1. Barq's root beer
2. Corndogs
3. Doritos
4. Ben and Jerry's Dave Matthew's Band Magic Brownies
5. Whopper with fries
Top 5 indulgences, in no particular order:
1. McDonald's breakfast sandwiches. Any will do. But I particulalry like the bacon, egg and cheese biscuit sandwich.
2. Buffalo wings drenched in blue cheese from the sports bar near my house. These things are incredible.
3. Dirty brand potato chips salt & vinegar flavor. Try them if you haven't.
4. Pizza. I can probably eat good pizza every day for the rest of my life and be totally happy
5. Chipotle Burritos. Get a barbacoa burrito with the works and you'll understand.
This was refreshing, I try to eat as healthy and responsible as possible, but it's nice to hear someone like Oseland admit he is human and enjoys the occasional junk food. BTW, on road trips, it's all about Combos and Mountain Dew, I'm just saying.
Nothing beats NYC's dirty water hotdogs with chili, onions, and mustard, and an orange soda to wash it all down! MMMmmmm
OMG! I absolutely love BBQ potato chips and Mickey-D's Filet-o-Fish! I thought I was the only one. I used to joke that my last meal on earth will have KC Masterpiece BBQ chips included.
The history of McDonald's Filet O Fish is rather interesting. McDonald's saw a decline in burger sales on Friday's in markets that were heavily Catholic. So they had a contest to come up with something new. The Filet O Fish beat out a fried slice of pinapple on a bun with cheese and this became the 'Friday alternative' for McDonald's Catholic customer's (Cannot not eat beef on Friday's).
Another interesting thing about the Filet O'Fish, now that you bring that up...McDonald's heavily promotes the sandwich in its advertising during Lent. Remember the Singing Billy Bass "Give me that Filet O'Fish" ad back in the spring? Now, notice how it all but disappeared after Easter? A-ha...
1.) McD's Fries w/ranch dressing (my favorite in college)
2.) Popeye's chicken w/red beans n rice and a biscuit
3.) Ferrero Rocher Hazlenut Chocolates
4.) Steak and Shake Banana split shake
5.) Bacon double cheezeburgers (I don't eat beef anymore, but they are awesome)
Honorable mention (or if you live in Western PA)
Permanti Bros sandwich w/ a gob for dessert
Primanti's! Yes!!!!
Oh, Jbles, you've made me pine for a Primanti's deluxe double egg & cheese sammich n'at. A fellow native Picksburgher here who misses her hometown!!!
1. Stouffer's creamed chipped beef on Wonder WHITE toasted bread
2. Fried baloney sandwiches (also on Wonder white, of course)
3. Armour corned beef hash fried to a crisp
4. Cheez-its
5. Any chocolate ice cream!
Yeaahhh! DEFINITELY the fried baloney sandwich but on a toasted English muffin and with relish and ketchup!
German Chocolate Cookie Rings-I admit to having stashed a box under the bed. In fact, I believe it's time to have one.
Really thick macaroni and cheese-not the Kraft stuff unless it's Deluxe
Mushrooms sauted in butter
And eggy in a basket with the bread slathered in butter
Fast food french fries-I get a craving about every other month for these.
Almond Joys. Whoever invented these is my hero.
Subway's Seafood Sensation sub. Blimpie's just doesn't do the imitation crab correctly. Subway does, and I have never ordered any other kind of sub from them. I just don't want any other kind.
Chicken nuggets. It's a weakness. I'm trying to figure out how to make my own so I don't pay uber dollars for 3 little pieces of nugget.
One time I was being driven back from work and I just HAD to have NACHOS. Right THEN. I bought the biggest damn plate of nachos from Taco Bell I could get my hands on and devoured them in about 15 minutes. Best damn nachos I have ever had.
to all of you losers out there spoiling a fun article: suck it up and go eat some tofu. seriously people. this is stuff that people call GUILTY FOOD PLEASURES jeez people read the article before commenting!
ale8one...its a soft drink sold only in kentucky, and im addicted to it. its simply the best soft drink ever. but if you get it, make sure you get it in the glass bottles, because the stuff in the cans isnt nearly as good :)
then theres the mcdonalds double quarter pounder: my goodness those 740 calories of pure heaven are well worth my 5 dollars. oh and the 48 grams of protein are pure bliss. when i eat one of these i could feel my arteries constricting lol
and then the mcdonalds sweet tea:only a buck and as they say; its brewed to perfection
next is the rally's big buford. enough said.
and cant forget a good ole slice of chocolate cake
I tried the Ale8one when passing through Kentucky. It was interesting. Do they make a diet version?
I love Kraft Mac and Cheese, so easy and so yummy, only eat it a couple times a year but I love it (I also love Velvetta Shells and Cheese with Apple Sause, hey don't knock it till you've tried it). I've been loving Fritos lately, so salty and wonderful. I also love Chick-fil-a Chicken Minis, they are so sweet and tasty, I would eat them by the pound if I could. And nothing beats an ice cold Coke, the way it burns and pops when it slides down your throat and you can feel the coldness of it speading through your belly, oh, so wonderful. I also love those frozen Totino's (sp?) Party Pizzas but it has been a hot minute since I've had one of those.
1. Pringles (plain, please) – so delicious on a hot summer day at the lake or river
2. Salt and vinegar chips – preferrably the kettle cooked – I could eat them until my mouth is raw.
3. Ben and Jerry's, pretty much any flavor – I typically eat at least half to 2/3 of the pint in one sitting. If not the whole thing.
4. Frosty from Wendy's – can put me in a good mood no matter what.
5. Pepperoni and green olive pizza from Imo's – you've gotta be from Missouri to know what I'm talking about. So. Darn. Good.
Good call on the Pringles. So unnatural but so addictive.
1. Stadium Mustard from Ohio. Makes everything better! You can buy it online. The best of the best.
2. Filet 'O Fish is on my list! But not at $3.00 per sandwich. When on sale for half price or 2/$4, yum!
3. Galley Boy burgers from Swenson's in Akron.
4. Czar Burgers at Whitey's Booze & Burgers in Richfield, Ohio.
5. Nachos Bel Grande at Taco Bell.
And I absolutely HATE Dr. Pepper. This is attributable to my wife purchasing about 15 cases of the stuff "on sale" back in the late 1970's. When that's all you drink for months, it can scar for life!
Whitey's! I'm from Akron...small world!
Swenson's though? I'm a Sky-Way girl myself. ;)
have always loved: the file o fish from MickeyDs...can only eat 1 every 5months though
fried pork rinds...heaven
oreo yellow cookies..
old fashioned ice cream sandwiche (Blue Bunny)
yeah baby....you do only live once.
ohno, I left off Hubig's fried lemon pie!
1. Cheez-its – (original only) They shouldn't have tried to fix something that wasn't broke!
2. McDonald's #2 (2 small cheeseburgers w/onion, pickle, ketchup)
3. Herr's Old Bay Chips (Utz, too but Herr's wins)
4. Hormel Chili on a can (I make a mean chili myself but Hormel rules for chili dawgs)
5. Velveeta – melted in the microwave with a can of Rotel Tomatoes = best ever nacho cheese dip
The McDonald's #2 meal was my favorite. I didn't go to McD's often, but when I did, I always ordered the #2. Sadly, I haven't seen it on the menu in a long time :'-(
No. 5: Buffalo Wild Wings' Caribbean Jerk Wings. I'll take 20 and two cups of bleu cheese dressing. Give me 20 minutes and they're gonzo. And no way I'm washing my hands afterwards . . the sauce seeps under my nails and I'll be smelling my fingers in glee all day. Wanna sniff? Of course you do.
No. 4: Chocolate chip pancakes. I willfully disregard all the calorie info and just stuff my piehole. It's semi-sweet chocolate, whipped cream, and freaking pancakes. Do I need to elaborate?? I'll take 7.
No. 3: Most any Salt n' Vinegar chips, but especially kettle chips. It sounds gross, as evidenced by the expressions on the faces of those who hear about this delicacy for the first time. But I can make a meal of 'em. The fact that they make me sweat? Irrelevant.
No. 2: Mickey D's plain ol' cheeseburger. The little diced onions and pickle slices are genius. Don't ask me how. Makes no sense at all.
No. 1 all-time: The Monte Cristo sandwich. It's the greasiest, nastiest concept ever and where I get it it's served with raspberry jam for dipping (WTF?). I snarf it down, float on a cloud of bliss for about 30 minutes and the rest of the day feel like something crawled up in me and died. Six months later, I'm ready to repeat the cycle.
Another Dr Pepper fan! Greatest soda ever, hands down!!
1. Cashew Chicken from Cheesecake Factory
2. Tiramusu
3. Coca-Cola (when I was kid, it was Dr. Pepper, but now I'm a coke man)
4. Grippo's BBQ Chips
5. Old Chicago's Double Deckeroni Pizza
1. Filet-O-Fish (must have on every road trip – I don't remember ever eating one in the restaurant – only the car!)
2. Outback Cheese Fries (worst food for you ever, yes but OH-SO-GOOD!)
3. French Fries (All)
4. Bird Dog (for those of you not in the south, it's a chicken finger, bacon, honey mustard and cheese in a hot dog bun – don't judge until you've tried it)
5. Patty Melt
I'm from the South too and had never heard of the "Bird Dog"...but now I'll have to try it!
1- Fried Hebrew Nat'l Salami and over-easy eggs
2- Chicken fried steak...how can one go wrong deep frying beef???
3- Haagen Daaz Coffee Ice Cream, straight from the container after 20 seconds in the microwave
4- Johnsonville Braatwurst straight from the grill on toasted french bread with mustard
5- Snyders of Hanover hard sourdough pretzels with onion dip (made from the soup mix and full-on fat sour cream!)

In no particular order:
1. Taco Bell Soft taco supreme-I don't care that it's "beef" it's hit the spot since I was a kid
2. Chick-fil-a Cookies and Cream Milkshake
3. Poptarts
4. Burger King Fries
5. Hershey's Cookies and creme bar
Omg I thought I was the only one who still ate the cookies n cream bars! Those are sooooo good and underrated
haha me and my mom LOVE filet o fishes from McDonalds. it crushed us when we found out its worse for you than most of their other foods.
I grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in Europe for 6 of my adult years. And can honestly say after being exposed to all that Swiss and Belgium chocolates I still grab a Hershey bar every time. And absolutely hate Palmer's chocolate.
1. Chicharrons en salsa verde (fried pork belly)
2. Mama Burger's from A & W
3. Deep Fried Pickles-homemde or from the pub's
4. Pizza Pops!!
5. Sausage Mc Muffins–oh so evil
1. Sweet tea from McAlister's Deli.
2. Taco Bell Spicy Chicken Burritos (but they discontinued them, boo! I get the grilled chicken burritos but they're not the same).
3. Chocolate Fudge Pop-Tarts.
4. Chick-Fil-A Original Chicken sandwiches, with either cole slaw ON the sandwich or slathered in mustard, ketchup and mayo.
5. Cajun popcorn, a.k.a. deep-fried crawfish tails with spicy, creamy remoulade sauce for diping, YUM.
Disclaimer: I only eat these foods on occasion; the majority of my diet consists of all the standard "good-for-you" stuff. To be honest one of my favorite things is pretty damn healthy; a "Newk's Favorite" salad with mixed dark greens, artichoke hearts, grapes, dried cranberries, pecans and grilled chicken with sherry vinagrette.
And Woody, I didn't intend to post as a reply to you, but the CNN banner ad at the bottom was blocking the "Post" button otherwise.
Ashamed? ME? I have no shame. How many of you have eaten frog legs?
this is a stupid article
Great list. I actually agree with 4 of them. But I CANNOT STAND Hershey's chocolate. I can actually taste half-rancid milk when I swallow it. Gross.
1.Lotsa ice in my drink *always*
2. Pickles......all types.
3. Ketcup! Yes.....and lots of it!
4. Thin crust pizza, veggie topping.
5. Chocolate, haven't met any I don't like yet!
A big box of Stouffer's Mac n Cheese heated in the oven until the cheese on top gets all brown and crispy. Sonic's Cherry Lime Aid. Krystals Chili Cheese Pups. Chicago stuffed pizza. Captain D's fish filets dipped in malt vinegar.
Guilty pleasures:
1. Chicken McNuggets with tons of hot mustard sauce. This is the most delicious thing ever.
2. Popeye's red beans and rice. I'm from Louisiana and I have not found a better tasting version.
3. Corn dogs. Enough said.
4. Coca-Cola Classic.
5. Funyons.
McDonald's doesn't make this anymore, but I loved the Arch Deluxe. I would've eaten more of them had I known they would be taken away forever.
"Dr. Pepper is the most brilliant soft drink out there. Period."
Heck yeah.
I'm not gay!
1- lumpia, if you don't know what they are they are the food of gods. little spring rolls of meat fried to chewy crispy perfection.
2- sausage mc muffin with egg from Mc Donalds
3- white chocolate covered pretzles
4- chicago style warm cheese/carmel/butter popcorn
5- floppy foldable, NY style pizza with meatballs on it
so yum
Flavored potato chips of any kind are an atrocity. McDonald's Fish filet sandwiches are pretty good though.
Loved it James....here's my list:
1 Spam. I LOVE Spam. the one in the can, not the email kind.
2. Like you, the McFish (?) sandwich at Mickey D's.
3 Frosting right out of the plastic "can" ( tub? )
4. baloney, even the cheap kind
5. this is really bad....raw beef....raw steak, raw hamburger....not from any special safe supplier....just from the grocery store....
yep, i totally dig raw meat as well. just a bit of salt and pepper...mmmmmm
Filet O Fish! I totally agree...but it's got to be a fresh one, not sitting around under the heat lamps drying out. Incredibly delicious.
I do have a mildly embarrassing meal that I enjoy a couple times per week. Old El Paso refried beans nuked from the can with a dollup of sour cream. Quick and tasty from the spoon to my mouth!
To MildlyEmarrassed.....me too! me too! I have been eating Old El Paso the same way for years!!1 Even before there were micorwaves....I had to put it in a pan and heat it up on the stove....it's great isn't it!
I would add a little salsa. And probably use yogurt instead of sour cream...
1) Choripan (Iberian sausage split on crusty roll) with pickled peppers
2) Chivito (Anthony Bourdain's favorite sandwich in the world)
3) Asado con Cuero (entire side of beef ribs roasted with leather intact)
4) Fu Qi Fei Pian (sliced beef parts with spiced peanut oil vinagrette)
5) Hae Jang Gook (beef soup invented to relieve hangover)
1. Lobster taco at Ocean Beach pier. Not terribly unhealthy, but I would buy a plane ticket from Nashville to get one. These are hot griddled chunks of lobster set up like a fish taco. Eat it on the pier, and watch the waves come in.
2. McDonalds cheeseburger. Horrible to admit, but they have something I must need.
3. Martin's Barbecue. Local bbq joint in the Nashville suburb of Nolensville. If you're in the area, go. Buttery and soft and smoky.
flaming hot cheetos – a MUST for any road trip
Wow his top 5 guilty pleasure foods are also exactly mine..creepy
That IS creepy. I need to try the pudding.
1. Little Debbie's Star Crunch
2. Beef nacho cheese chalupas from Taco Bell
3. Doughnuts
4. Rice Krispy Treats
5. mocha frappuccinos
I was just reading all these post and seriously people? You're talking about hardening your arteries ONCE a year or so! Even if it's five times a year you eat this stuff, I'd say out of 365 days, you can definitely clog your arteries just five times out of that with no problem! I am a militant vegan saying this! You only live once people and even though you're a vegetarian or vegan, you definitely are NOT better than anyone else! You simply eat differently. period. I like to eat healthy but sometimes I do splurge (more like once every other month really) and this is it:
1) Vegan Philly steak and cheese thin crust pizza from Nice Slice (LOVE THAT PLACE)
2) Mystic Chips (kettle chips)
3) Soda (any kind. just soda)
4) Del's Ice Lemonade (THE BEST IN THE WORLD)
5) triple layer velvet chocolate cake with vegan cream cheese frosting from ION
For all you whiny vegans and vegetarians out there, it is OKAY to eat like crap every now and then! Celebrate life and feed your face!
So how does the vegan philly steak and cheese pizza work?
I am so hungry after reading all of these. Here's my top 5.
1. Chicken Wings (Bone in) any flavor, any time of day.
2. Wendy's Baconator (double)
3. Wheat Thins
4. Chicken in a Bisquit Crackers
5. Sour Patch Kids
Chicken in a Biscuit!! So much sodium, but oh so delicious.
I agree with all his picks except for the Dr. Pepper. Can't stand it. But right on about the MickyD's fish sandwich. Yummy
My top 5 guilty pleasures in food...
1. Jack in the Box Taco's ... Yeah thier deep fried grease on grease .. but i can eat tons of them .. and at 2 for $0.99 .. whats to stop me.
2. Mcdonald Chicken nuggets with BBQ Sauce. Without the sauce they are NOTHING ... but i must admit i eat these more than i should despite being culinary uranium.... Probably because McDonalds hamburgers are disgusting.
3. Smores ... These are everything thats great about childhood .. wrapped up into one ... graham crackers ... melty chocolate ... and sticky marshmallow ... hopefully even a campfire.
4. Dr. Pepper ... Just read wat everyone else said .. the stuff is liquid ambrosia. Even my Father who vehemently avoids soda's in general ... can't resist Dr. Pepper.
5. Nacho's ... Everything from the simple Chips with processed plastic nacho sauce from the gas station around the corner ... To home style .. Nacho dorrito's with chili and cheese melted over them .. I love them all .. and while i know they are in NO way healthy .. or good for me ... (or my waistline .. ) ... I can't resist them when offered.
1. crab cakes

2. White Castle burgers
3. Vienna Sausages
4. fried cheese kurds – especially from Culvers
5. Jack in the box fried chicken sandwich, with mustard, pickles, and swiss cheese
all you guys who get on here to complain, man get a life, you don't like it move on. I am always surprised how people will complain about certain things. Complain about the state of the union, about politics. But taking the time to complain about this? LOL, go back and listen to Justin, or keep watching your stupid reality shows. Man, get a life and enjoy it.
1) McDonald's Cheeseburgers (or, better yet, a cheeseburger happy meal).
2) Little Debbie Swiss Rolls and/or Hostess Ding Dongs (same difference, really)
3) Taco Bell Bean Burritos
4) Ruffles Plain Ridged Potato Chips (with onion dip...my god)
5) Jalapeno Poppers
I would put stuff like Peanut M&Ms or Reeses Cups, but I totally do NOT feel guilty about loving them. :)
This was really stupid. It was like some fat girl was talking. Why is this on CNN.
Two Words: FIVE GUYS
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm
1. Miller Lite (in can)
2. Taco Bell burrito
3. Ramen noodles
4. Gerber's baby cereal

I love McDonald's Filet of Fish!!!
My top five:

2) Heluva Good French Onion Dip and Ruffles
3) Fountain Coke with Ice
4) McDonalds Fries and Ketchup
5) Papa John's The Works Thin Crust Pizza
Honorable Mention – Hostess Red Zingers
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who secretly craves Mcfishy Sandwiches. They are my favorite, disgusting fast food indulgence. I haven't had one in probably 8 years or so though.
1. Nachos Bell Grande from Taco Bell (no beans, extra meat)
2. nice, salty french fries... it doesn't matter where they come from!
3. strawberry cheesecake ice cream
4. Hot Tamales candy
5. Wild Cherry Pepsi
1-Deep fried cheese curds
2-Cheetos
3-The Chicken Crispers from Chili's Restaurant
4-Chocolate Extreme Blizzard from DQ

Ick....but I love 'em all.
I love the Filet-o-Fish too but not as much as my top 5:
1. Suzy Q's...love them!
2. Sonic's Oreo Blast
3. French Fries fresh out of the grease!
4. Chili & Cheese Hotdog...beef ofcourse!
5. Pepsi....so addicted!
1. In-N-Out Burger...Animal style
2. Fruity Pebbles
3. Hostess lemon pie with "real" fruit filling
4. McNuggets with sweet and sour sauce
5. Baskin Robbins Mandarin Chocolate ice cream
McDonald's Chicken McNuggets - I tell all of my friends not to feed them to their children (or themselves!) because they are chock full of questionable chemicals and chicken of unknown origin. Yet, when I pass those golden arches, I can't help but sneak in and buy some. Of course, no one knows except for my husband. ;)
Litlle Debbies Peanut Butter Bars.......yeah baby yeah.
What a geek!
My Top 5 Guilty Pleasures (in no particular order):
Hot Krispy Kreme doughnuts
Rice Krispy Treats (w/extra marshmallows)
Peanut M&M's
Coca-Cola (preferably ice cold with a Lemon)
Queso ( i mean who doesn't love hot cheese?!)
I have to admit to three foods of pleasure that I just have to consume every now and then – The McDonalds Big Mac (still the same after all these years) – The Wendy's Chile (it was one of the very few fast foods that my late father thoroughly enjoyed so it may be genetic) and the Kraft boxed Mac and Cheese (how can you go wrong when its still only 99 cents)!
I'm embarrassed to admit that I still enjoy two to three Big Macs a year and I have been eating them for probably 40 years.
I really can't believe I just read that one of Mr. Oseland's guilty pleasures is a Filet-o-Fish... I actually totally agree. I've never eaten one in front of my wife beacuse we pretty much never eat McDonalds and so I think she thinks I'm joking when I profess my adimration for the F-o-F but every blue moon when I make a solo stop I'll take a day or two off my life and eat a filet-o-fish, double cheeseburger & fries! Oh and yes I do also think the McRib really is good as well. (shame on me?)
1- Bacon anything
2- Steel Reserve
3- Wendys Junior Bacon Cheeseburger
4- Cheese Danish
5- Bubble Tea
I love bubble tea!
What about scrapple, with dippy eggs, and a side of corned beef hash? Mmmmm....
Holy crap, what a fascinating piece of journalism!
1. Fried Chicken (my momma's, but I'll settle for Popeye's)
2. McKenzie's buttermilk drops (ain't there no more!)
3. McD's french fries, or any other good fries, throw in good onion rings, and I'm in heaven
4. Raisinets
5. Chocolate malt
franco-american spaghetti, straight from the can!
McDonalds Sausage McMuffin with folded egg instead of that round thing they call an egg. That's got to be one of my favorites. Yes, it's sad AND bad .. Also their sweet tea. A Joe's pizza turnover is the bomb too.
I just want to say that I've enjoyed this thread more than anything on CNN in years. It's so refreshing to not only see a career foodie fess up to the idea that some junk out there is fabulous, but that he indulges in it from time to time, like a normal person.
It's also hilarious to see some of the more obscure or worst ones out there, lauded like a four star dining experience. It's something that we ALL can relate to, which isn't easy to do these days.
Thanks again for the article, it was a pleasure.
A lot of though went into this but I think I am ready to reveal my picks. Drumroll please....
1.Chipotle burrito bowl with carnitas, extra rice, black bean, fajita blend (peppers, onions), extra corn, tomatoes, hot sauce, extra cheese, guacamole, and a tortilla on the side (at no extra cost)
2. Chik-fil-A fries with Chik-fil-A sauce
3. McDouble
4. Starbucks iced lemon pound cake
5. Jumbo slice pizza (DC area thing, please google to get the full idea)
1. Fantastic Cafe 1/4 lb cheese burger w/fries
2. Cold pizza
3. Meatloaf with globs of ketchup
4. Busy Bee Market's roast beef sandwich
5. Spaghetti
Best BBQ potato chips are Mike Sells Kettle Corn, i highly recommend them
I have seen some VERY creative indulgences from you people! :D
1.) Five Guys fries with tons of ketchup
2.) TGIFridays frozen mozzarella sticks from the grocery store
3.) Ben & Jerry's "Everything But The..." ice cream
4.) Chick Fil A waffle fries w/ polynesian sauce [try it, i swear it's fantastic!]
5.) Grilled cheese sandwiches from Sonic Drive-Thru
I feel my arteries hardening as I type this but hey, I'm smiling :D
1. REAL PIZZA – not this thin crust stuff (basically a taco) that Californians and Wolfgang puck try to shove down our throats! Good chewy crust, sweet tomato sauce, a mix of mozzarella and provolone cheese, hot Italian sausage and mushrooms!
2. Sweet Claude's (Cheshire, CT – yeah, it's a shameless plug) chocolate malted milkshake! Perfection in a waxed paper cup!
3. Freihoffer's Chocolate Chip Cookies! Forget Enteman's you Red Sox fans! These are the real thing. Soft and chewy and perfect to dip in your glass of Chocolate Flavored Ovaltine ("and a hearty Heigh-ho, Silver!" – anyone else old enough to get this reference?)
Hardly ever eat these, but love:
1. Cheetos. Crunchy bright orange goodness
2. Pizza hut pan pizza with sausage
3. Buffalo wings
4. Krispy Kreme doughnuts (chocolate)
5. Cheesesteak sandwich, with fried onions, mushrooms, and tomato sauce
oh my, well here is my dirty little secret
1. ex-long chili cheese dog with tater tots from Sonic (here in Texas)
2. Dr. Pepper (Dublin is the best this is the one with cane sugar in it)
3. 3amigo appitizer from Chili's– southwest egg rolls, chicken tenders and the spicey artichock dip with chips...
4 cheese burger with tatertots from sonic as well
5. chicken nuggets (banquet, wendy's or sonic) with lots of ketchup or ranch dressing
My guilty pleasures, I have so many but I will list the top 5
1. McDonalds fries I will eat them in the car but the time I get home they are almost gone.
2. Grilled cheese with bacon
3. Shrimp Alfredo
4. Chips-any kind except for salt and vinegar
5. Cheesecake
1. Lipton Onion Soup. I know. But it reminds me of rainy days in my childhood.
2. McDonald's fries. When they are fresh and hot, they are about the best fries I have had anywhere in the world outside of Belgium.
3. Ribs from Mimi's Cafe. I'd complain they have too much sauce, but the sauce is so damned good I don't really care.
4. Cheeseburger Doritos. Completely reminiscent of an actual diner cheeseburger, down to the mustard and pickle.
5. Hostess Orange Cupcakes. The cake itself is a little bit citrusy, which I wouldn't have thought a big non-gourmet company like Hostess would even have that be a concern to them. But it makes a difference: the Orange Cupcake just seems less cloyingly sweet and rich than other Hostess products. And I'm sufficiently addicted to them that I forbid myself from indulging frequently – it makes it that much more decadent when I do succumb.
1. Ben's Hot Dogs with mustard, cheese, raw onion and celery salt
2. Andy Capp's Hot Fries consumed with Dr. Pepper only
3. Sweet potatoe fries with sour cream
4. Frech McD's fries with Sweet n Sour sauce
5. Bloomin' onion, for sure
DOUBLE DOWN sandwiches from KFC!!! The best new sandwich of the last 10 years, no matter hof awful they may be for you!!!!!
Buffalo chicken flavored anything ... but there are 3 specific things: chicken wings (big ones), chicken fingers & the chicken finger sub. I'm originally from Buffalo, but I did spend 5 years living out of state during which time I realized there was a gaping crater in my life: good buffalo chicken (sorry Philadelphia...you left me sadly disappointed). It was the first thing I would get when I would return home.
oh how i miss the chicken finger subs! buffalo wings/tenders are the things i look forward to most when going back to buffalo to visit! and the real hot dogs (Sahlens)

But things I loved as a child just don't taste the same now a days... like beef-a-roni and spaghetti-o's... Either the recipes changes, or my taste in foods....
I am SO PROUD of Snootie Foodie James O. for fessing up to these very pedestrian junk cravables.
When I am feeling the need to trash my system with some grocery store goodies I reach for a bag of Red Hot Riplets BBQ chips and a tub of Starbucks Java Chip ice cream.

Try some of the Coke made in Mexico in the glass bottles. It's made with real sugar just like the old original formula. Over French vanilla ice cream. Yesca!!!
ElMonterey microwaveable burritos, to die for...litterally!
Every now and then I just gotta have spicey pork rinds.
1. Whitecastle Cheeseburgers

4. Outback Bacon/Cheese Fries
5. Samoa Cookies
Boom
For those of use who love GS Samoa cookies, Keebler has a new cookie out that tastes just like them – the crisp cookie part, creamy caramel, toasted coconut, drizzle of chocolate. They are so good! I bought them in a Meijer grocery store in central Indiana last week.

5. Burger King's Whopper Jr.
Wise Snacks Cheez Waffles...mmmm...
I started reading the comments just to be entertained by what foods other people admit to liking and was surprised and disappointed by all the negativity I found. This article was meant to ENTERTAIN not to inspire nasty comments about how its author is a food snob, etc. It's ashamed how much negativity people attach to even the most harmless things. Set a better example and follow the golden rule – if you have nothing nice to say, keep it to yourself.
1. McDonalds chicken nuggets (only with their sweet and sour sauce – it's seriously my favorite, and I have never found any other sweet and sour sauce like it)
2. Fritos
3. Kraft macaroni and cheese – the only brand of m & c I like either hot or cold
4. Sno Balls
5. Krispy Kreme donuts (especially when they're fresh and still warm, mmmmmmmmmm)
Come back to India my friend...Filet-O-Fish is on the McD's menu!
Ok............since i can admit this anonymously......Hostess cream filled orange cupcakes........but only every now and then :)
baaaaaaaaaa!!
Thank god I live in the South, where anything worth eating is worth battering and deep frying. I may die younger than old Void, but I'll have *lived* my life, and bloody well enjoyed it, while I was here. And I betcha my friends will miss me more than this old sourpuss' friends will miss it!!

Love: Fried Bologna sandwiches
Jack In the Box Tacos
PIK-NIK Shoestring Potatoes
Slim Jim's-Tobasco Flavored
Taco Bell Chili Cheese Burrito
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I, too, am addicted to those Mickey Dee's Filet-O-Fish sammies with a dab extra of tartar sauce. Freshly made, all hot and nice, they just can't be beat. Funny thing is, though...that's all I eat at Mickey Dee's. Nothing else. If they ever stopped making them, I wouldn't go back.
Icky guilty pleasures you'd be embarrassed to be seen with?
Salty greasy McDonalds fries. Take home, break a couple of eggs over then and oven bake. Yum
IHOP swedish pancakes smothered in lingionberry butter.

How can this man possibly love Hershey's Milk Chocolate? That stuff is the most disgusting chocolate I have ever eaten–it smells and tastes like spoiled milk!
Actually, that may be the secret. I had a foodie friend who told me that the person that came up with the formula would let the milk sour slightly before using it.
My top 5 :
1. Hot Masala dosa with sambhar
2. Chitra Anna
3. Hot Rava dosa
4. Pizza's with cheese
5. Rasam Rice
Dear Krishna, Please give your top 50 list. I Guess it would go even longer.
You love these food, so just enjoy.
Twinkies.
I used to love Dr. Pepper, but it doesn't taste the same since they did away with the 16 ounce returnable bottles(I don't think any of them do, but especially Dr. Pepper).
Awesome article! This is so informative . Thanks for this article. :)
best conversation ever....
I am a nazi about what I eat- however- I harbor a deep, dark secret food-love. 100% processed artificial synthetic ooze and I just can't get enough! "Easy Cheese" better known to the masses as that spray cheese in the can found hiding amongst the crackers at the grocery store, usually in a pseudo-discreet location because even the stores know that nobody wants to be seen grabbing THAT off the shelf!!! LOL
Yes! Easy cheese is amazing! My mom used to give it too me when I was little and make me promise not to tell my dad! It's shameful cheese product. Ha!
1. Dr Pepper
2. Whataburger onion rings are freaking fantastic!
3. Sonic cheese tots with a cherry vanilla Dr Pepper
4. went to Chicago a few months ago to watch the 'Stros kick some Cubs arse and had the best deep dish pizza EVER
5. banana pudding
6. chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes and EXTRA cream gravy...yum
7. fried catfish
8. also from Chicago...that dipped Italian beef sandwich thingie from Al's
9. Crab nachos from Joe's Crabshack
10. frozen turtle pie
Adam sure has a great job, doesn't he? (Man VS Food)
Double order of fries from Dick's Drive-in
Reese's Peanut butter cup Blizzard from Dairy Queen
Over cooked Stouffer's Mac and Cheese with extra cheese added
Almost any chocolate bar with 68 to 75% cocoa
Day old original recipe breast or wing from KFC
McDonald's French Fries would also be on my list but their trans-fat free oil leaves a nasty after taste and feel in my mouth.
5 foods that I'm actually not ashamed of come together like this:
White bread (two slices)
Mayonnaise
Sun Ripened Tomato (about 6 slices)
Salt
Pepper
Absolutely the most incredibly delicious sandwich in the world.
Yes! You are so right. I will often include a slice of cheese. The tomato sandwich is the best!
yummy! My Mom taught me how wonderful these are. Mine have to have cheese...real cheese not the individually wrapped slice things. Going to make one today, thanks for the reminder :)
Oh I totally agree on the BBQ Chips! They are addicting. I'm also ashamed that I eat so much chocolate.
S'mores (graham crackeres/hot toasted marshmellow/hershey's chocolate sandwich)made on the beach over a bonfire.... I have them maybe twice a year, only when camping, but they are the stuff dreams are made of :)
chocalate covered raisens
movie popcarn with butter on it
popcorn from the movies with butter on it
Biscuits and mustard
French fried potaters and mustard
Potted meat samich and mustard
Viennie sausages and mustard
Vaniller Ice cream no mustard
Why do I get a feeling that you like mustard? Weird. Oh well. J/K
I'm a vegetarian now (for about 5 years), but when I ate meat, I loved the filllet-o-fish, even though I thought every thing else about McDonald's was evil. I normally eat whole grains and try to be organic and all that boring stuff, but my guilty foods are:
1. Also Dr Pepper, but I prefer diet or the cane-sugar kind. Not because I think they're healthier, but because I like the taste better.
2. Kettle Chips (that specific brand) salt and vinegar or honey dijon flavors. I'll eat an entire bag in one sitting.
3. Taco Bell Nachos bel Grande (without the meat). I'm sure there's hidden lard in the beans and I usually avoid fast food at all costs, but I love nachos.
4. Vegetarian spring rolls
5. Newman-O's Ginger-O cookies.
6. Annie's brand Peace, Pasta and Parmesean mac and cheese.
7. I can't recall the brand name, but there's a health food store in my town that sells these amazing vegan "chicken"-flavored frozen taquitos. SOO good.
8. Now that Starbucks can make Frappucinos with soy milk, I'm in love with the caramel flavor. With lots of extra caramel sauce on top.
Didn't know you could get the NBG without meat. Still a ton of fat but good to know.
Humans
fried spam and vinna sausages dipped in mustard-french fries and onion rings
How the hell do McDonalds get their french fries to such levels of perfection? That's what I want to know. Of course, because I'm a good little girl, I don't eat fries if I have to have McDonalds..I just have the children's happy meal hamburger. Sad, but true. Only 250 calories.
i think we have the munchies
Thank you to all those that admit eating spam and vienna sausage. My wife thinks its the most disgusting food on the planet. I have the cookbook for spam. I only get to eat it when she is out of town.
1-dr pepper and orange crush-its a tie-then cheetos-nachos with cheese dip-then klondike bars-and don't forget the little debbies
1. Spam and eggs( yes I know...)
2. Vienna sausage ( Yes I know... really)
3. Cold fried chicken( ok chest pain by now..)
4 .DoubleDouble In n Out and fries.
5. Costco hotdog and drink (hey im cheap. and nearly dead. yes I know...)
1. Make it a Hershey's with Almonds.
2. Double Double from In n Out Burger
3. Wendy's single with cheese.
4. Thin crust Peperoni pizza
5. French Fries
I already posted top 5 foods above, but more keep popping into my mind. Here's 5 more:
1) Miguel's Jr (S. California only) shredded beef burrito with extra cheese and lettuce and pouring their salsa on it after each bite. Top it off with a taco, again, lots of their salsa. The best and to die for.
2) As a kid, there was this ma and pa pizza joint called Monzollies (I know that's spelled wrong and they shut down about 20 years ago, that in itself was a crime to humanity) The crust was more doughly and the grease would run down your arm. Again, the best and to die for.
3) Vince's Spaghetti

Apple Fritters...heaven and hell in one big sticky and greasy package. I know they are very bad for you, and in fact I haven't had one in several years. And I don't mean the little wimpy ones you see at Safeway...I mean the big giant ones that weigh almost a pound and cause you to gain weight just by looking at them. It's something I only indulge in with great restraint...because for me it's several minutes of pure gastronomic pleasure followed by at least an hour or two of an aching head and stomach. Despite all this, they are still my favorite junk food that I both love and hate. Nothing else quite comes close! :)
You should find some people to share it with. Sounds huge.
Ramen. Definitely ramen. Top Ramen to be exact, not Maruchan. That flavor packet is probably 95 % MSG. I saw a documentary where there was a town in China which had a MSG factory. Many residents developed cancer from the waste entering their water stream including one man with stomach cancer. And yet I still eat Top Ramen occasionally even though when I eat it I remember the Chinese man with stomach cancer. :(
I know this is disgusting and truly horrible, but one of my guilty pleasures is Munchos Potato Crisps dipped in a bowl of Spaghettios. For some reason I ate that concoction when I was a teenager. Every year or so I crave that meal and give in. I also agree with Filet O Fish. I know it's nasty, but every so often....I HAVE to eat it.
You're killing the "Eat This, Not That" editors ;)
Reading many of these posts brought to mind the old Redd Foxx routine about his annual physical. His Doc said "Redd,
if you plan on living into your eighties, you're going to have to give up the whiskey, smoking, fried food,pig fat, butter–and
chasing women around all night". After a long pause, Redd says "yeh, but if I do all that, aint I goin to feel like a damn
fool just laying in a hospital bed dying of nothing?"
James Oseland should only use his picture blown up that large like that as a "before" picture advertising for "Hair Club for Men".
Love Dr. Pepper ... and then drove down the Eastern seaboard and through the Carolinas where I was introduced to Cheerwine. Cavities, diabetes and heaven all in one bottle. If I lived near that stuff, there is no way I would be able to limit myself to only three a year.
I've baked lots of batches of cookies in the past. Love raw cookie dough! Ate more dough than cooked cookies. Never did get a stomach ache or sick :-)
So...
1. Cookie Dough (although, now I error on the side of caution...no more raw dough :-(
2. Fritos and green onion dip–yummy!
3. Corn chips...plain, with salsa, guacamole, any way
4. See's scotch-mallows...oh so good!
5. In and Out Burger...Dbl Dbl w/grilled onion, fries & a shake! Right oooon!
Guilty pleasures are good :->
To all those that list "Five Guys" as an indulgence. You HAVE to get the fries "cajun style." Get ready for a sodium overload...
Over the moon for MOON PIES! Only find them at the Bass Pro Shops around here (Denver) in all the flavors but banana.
Thought I was the only one who loved McD's fish filet with fresh french fries and then - chocolate chip cookies warm from their oven!
The hot dogs at Costco with all the stuff - and then, finish off with a chocolate covered vanilla bar.
Yup, I'm fat - diabetic, and mostly stay on a sugarless diet - the above is just sometimes - and a lot of wishful remembrances of the old days!
MacDonald's Filet-O-Fish sandwich is yes, ,,,enjoyable, but it could be so much more. Like use a quality bun, not the cheapest possible as they do. And the sandwich is doubly better when the are two fish patties instead of one. I ask for two (and pay a nominal amount) and forgo the wasteful extra roll. Two patties provide some real substance to an otherwise insufficient sandwich.
A double-double from In-n-Out
Dr. Pepper
frenh flies from In-n-Out
Sushi
Taquaritos from 7-11
The Filet-O-Fish is the only, uh, "food" I eat that combines fish and cheese. In all other manifestations that combination is just downright nasty, but since this comes from McDonald's, somehow it's OK.
Here's a exercise in amusement: order a Filet-O-Fish, and ask them to put an extra fish patty on it (i.e. make it a "double"). I have done this ~10 times, and every time there is a, "Uhh . . . let me ask the manager" followed by a long pause, and then a mystery charge of between $0.20 and $1.50 for the extra item. I've had it variously charged to me as a "quarter meat," "chicken patty," "chicken sandwich" and "apple pie," among others. I don't think I've ever had it rung up the same way twice.
I don't think there's a button for "extra fish patty."
Also, if I hear "fillette-o-fish" one more time, I'm going to stab some poor hourly worker with a plastic fork
Anything from Taco Bell – yummy!
Almond Snickers
Godiva dark chocolate ice cream – maybe it's a good thing they discontinued it
Chocolate cream filled donuts from Dunkin Donuts – the white cream filled ones are good too

Carnitas tacos from a sketchy lonchera
"Beta Burritos" alias aluminum wrapped cooler burritos purchased drunkenly at 2am outside Beta Nightclub
Mexican Coca-Cola, cane sugar all the way
Frozen chimichangas, the fuel of high school memories
Cheba Hut AK-47 on herb and cheese.
Frosted Flakes. I buy one box a year, open it on my birthday, and have it for breakfast until the box is gone. Oh yes, and Cheetos cheese puffs. The fluffy kind, not the crispy kind.
For sheer wonderfulness, there is nothing that quite approaches the deliciousness of a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.Taking a bite into it's perfect combination of chocolate and peanut buttery yumminess is a little bit of heaven. I dare anybody to not crave a second and a third cup. Bliss.
There are some better ones out there than Reese's I am sure. My sister makes home made and the peanut butter is SO creamy. Makes Reese's taste a little gritty by comparison.
1. Diet Wild cherry pepsi. (I know it's diet, but i love the fake taste)
2. Chicken McNuggets (with honey or Sweet and Sour sauce)
3. chocolate glazed donuts (the ones that come in the box)
4. Frozen sour gummi worms (I know it sounds weird, but they are SOOO much better when you freeze them!)
5. Slim Jims-Nacho flavor. (I know, I know, mechanically seperated meat is not really food)
I became a vegetarian about a year ago, so 2 are off limits,(although i secretly crave them from afar) AND I've given up drinking soda, so there goes another one. Overall, I avoid these foods like the plague, because when i start eating them, I can't stop...but they are soo tasty.
PS. TRY THE FROZEN SOUR GUMMI WORMS, IT'S AMAZING! also will work with regular gummi bears.
Lots of McD's fans out there...wheres the love for BK?

Then there's the assortment of regular foods that aren't good for you. I'm going to go run a few miles just thinking about it now.

Fire Cheetos
Donato's Pizza
Rockne's Philly Sub

All artery clogging, but oh so tasty!!
1 large Vanilla shake from McDeath's... and 1 large order of FRESH french fries....grab 4-6 fries and dip in shake....it's cocaine for your taste buds people. If you have never tried it....now you just have to to say that you did. I've been doing this since I was 5 (1975)...freakin awesome.
1- fish tacos
2- vienna sausages
3- WT queso (Rotel tomatoes and Velveeta)
4- Carnation instant breakfast
5- Corn beef hash
1. Sausage and cheese McGriddle
OMG... McGriddles! Yes!! You gotta get the combo that includes the hash brown then put the hash brown in the sandwich as well. Soooo good!
I hardly even know where to start. I'm outwardly a bit of a food snob, but at home I aboslutely love
-Double stuf mint Oreos with a glass of milk (the higher fat the milk, the better, of course)
-Mozzarella sticks from (gasp) Arby's
-Old fashioned grilled cheese with Kraft sharp cheddar
-Quesadillas from taco bell
-A huge plate of banger, mash, and veg at the closest Irish pub
Wouldn't believe that I'm a bit of a health food/food ethics freak and buy most of my food at the farmer's market, would you?
1. Big Mac
– Had to limit my consumption of these, usually keep it to birthday treats or my "I've just been camping and hiking for 3 weeks I'm going to treat myself to a Big Mac now that I'm back in civilization"
2. Garlic Mashed Potatoes
– So good! It's the garlic that does you in though.
3. Tuscan Pizza from Boston Pizza
– Had to altogether give up Pizza at Boston Pizza.. Garden Greens and Salmon for me... exciting.
4. Doritos – Spicy Sweet Chili
– Cringe. The title is enough to make you gain 5 pounds.
5. Fudgesicles
– I could sit and eat 6 at a time. Chocolate is heaven to me, but frozen chocolate? That's a whole 'nother level.
I'm completely addicted to the Zaxby's Zax sauce. I don't know what it is; they must put crack in it or something.
I also love Orville Redenbacher's Movie Theater Butter microwave popcorn.
It is late and I need to go to bed, but I wanted to thank James Oseland for this one. I don't think I have ever had this much fun reading a blog and posts. It just made me feel good reading about what others enjoy. I have bookmarked this so that I can catch up on the posts that will be added later. Looking forward to it.
panda express. Ohhhh. <3
You'll die faster because of your hostility than we will because of our junk food habit.
Why don't you research that?
Rose
Skyline 4 way bean
Skyline Cheese Coney's

3. Nacho Cheese Doritos with melted cheese and taco sauce
4. Filet O Fishy Sammich
5. Dark Chocolate Chex Mix
I am very fit, but I usually have to bike a few extra miles because of these little pleasures. NomNomNomNom...
Also wanted to add a double bacon cheeseburger with A-1, grilled onions and mushrooms from Five Guys burgers (western U.S.)
5 Guys Burgers!! No burger can compare...
1. Dunkin Donuts Iced Mocha Latte
2. Milano Double Chocolate Cookies
3. Cavateli with Marinara Sauce
4. Coca Cola
5. Golden Cupcakes with Chocolate Icing :]
I love junk food, but if I didn't eat in moderation I would be 500 pounds. Moderation is key.
oh yea, wash it down with a Fresca.
LOL. I used to drink Fresca in college. It was the only thing my friends wouldn't steal and drink. Anything else disappeared instantly.
1. Ditto on the Dr. Pepper, drinking one now.
2. Mac and cheese made with Velveeta, whole milk, real butter, and Rotel Tomatoes for spice.
3. Super Sonic Jalepeno Cheeseburger.

3. Ice cream sandwiches
4. Corn on the cob dripping in butter
5. NY Cheesecake with Black Cherry Sauce
HEAVEN.....
Ok, had to add a few more.
I heartily agree with the velveeta and rotel queso dip. They kept running commercials of this in the early part of the year and I just had to try it. OMG, it is the best.
Military chow hall SOS. Made with hamburger, not dried beef. My dad got me started on this when I was a kid, at the little chow hall at the Army Recreation Center in Seward, Alaska. Some SOS poured over two pieces of toast with two eggs over easy – white firm, yellow runny. OH YES!!!
Bread pudding with butterscotch sauce from the lunch room at Murphy Jr. High School in Augusta, Georgia – back in 1971. That was some of the best stuff I ever put in my mouth.
Lemon pudding cake. Can't remember which of the cake mix companies made this back in the early '70s but it was delicious.
Here are my five. I'm from L.A.
1. I agree Dr. Pepper. Love it!!!
2. Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich, just the sandwich not the fries....
3.....Micky D's Fries!!!! The are the best in the world!
4. Reeses peanut butter cups. My all time favorite!!! I would love to kiss the person who created this magical thing that brings me so much happiness. I eat them slowly.
5. Deep dish pizza, the real thing not the thing you find in L.A. I'm a native of L.A, but I've been to the promise land (Chicago) and after that you can't go back!!! Man that's good stuff.
1} Biscuits and Gravy from Wendy's
2} McDonald's Fish Fillet
3} Puffy Cheetos
4} Taco Bell Taostadas with Pico and Sour Cream
5} Peanut Butter Spoons
6} Ding Dongs
7} Ice Cream Sandwiches
8} Slurpee's
9} Frito Pie
10} Chili Cheese Dogs
Oh yeah... slurpee's. I loved the sprite flavored ones in the summertime. I used to ride my bike down to the corner store on a summer day, get some comic books, gum balls, and a sprite flavored slurpee. Then I would put the gum balls down in the slurpee to freeze them. Go back home, pile up on the bed, and read comics and sip that slurpee. Then enjoy the gumballs. Ah, life was so much simpler back then. Still read comic books, by the way.
1. Chicago Deep Dish -Sausage layer
2. Rubio's Fish Tacos
3. Any carne asada burrito in San Diego
4. Chicago style hot dog
5. DOUBLE Filet-o-Fish from McDs-extra tartar
Not to nitpick, but any Texan within a 200 mile radius of Dublin can tell you there's no period in Dr Pepper.
First of all, I just want to say how much fun it has been to read all the posts. I hurt myself laughing at some of them. Isn't it nice to still have passion about some things!
Others have listed a lot of my favs, here is my list of some that may not have been mentioned:
1. Coffee Crisp candy bars. Made by Nestle in Canada. I had a friend from Canada that introduced me to these. Probably the most decadently delicious candy bar I have ever had. I actually found them at the local Dollar store a few years ago and probably bought and ate my weight in them.
2. Breyers Coffee Ice Cream... Have mercy!
3. Taco Bell Baja Chalupa supreme. I always have to get two.
4. Breakfast burrito off the roach coach at Barksdale AFB in Bossier City, Louisiana back in the mid '80's. OMG, one of the best things I have ever eaten. Probably ate my weight in those over a three year period.
5. Keebler used to make peanut butter sandwich cookies and fudge sandwich cookies that were absolutely amazing with a hot cup of coffee or ice-cold glass of milk. Either they quit making them or it is a regional thing. It is hard to find a good peanut butter sandwich cookie these days. About the best I have found lately are from the Girl Scouts. Always have to get a few boxes of those each year during "the season". And I haven't found a good fudge sandwich cookie since Keebler stopped making theirs.
I like to eat a fish sandwich while giving my girlfriend a pasadena mudslide
Home made nestlies toll house cookies made with butter flaored crisco instead of butter.
with a side pint of Ben and jerry's Cherry Garcie.
Hold onto your hearts!
1) Chips Ahoy Chocolate Chip Cookies and milk
2) Crunchy Cheetos with a glass of Hawaiian Punch (reminds me of watching Tom & Jerry after school in 5th grade)
3) Chicken Planks and Hush Puppies from Long John Silver's
4) Sara Lee Banana Cake
4) Oscar Mayer Bologna on white bread with mayo
I think I'll go have some yogurt now. Sigh.....
Change the mayo to Miracle Whip on that bologna sandwich, and then dunk it in some Campbell's Chicken Noodle soup . . . and you have the perfect summer break lunch! My mouth is watering from the memory.
Slices of processed cheesefood product.
Gas Station Hot Dogs... Especially the jalapeno and cheese filled variety!
OMG – I thought I was the only one who loves the Mickie D – Fillet of Fish. The only thing I do different is to scrape off about 1/2 of the tartar sauce. (I get extra napkins to accomplish this task.) Makes me feel like I'm eating healthy!....ha! Then order the coffee (black of course)....
I don't eat anything else at this fast food place, but the fish and coffee....yum......
Sounds like you should ask for the tartar sauce on the side as suggested above. They will make the sandwich fresh for you then.
4 out of 5, I totally agree. Can't quite hang with the pudding, but change it out to Blue Diamond Smokehouse Almonds, and we would be twins.
Ding Dongs
Spam Spread (pottied meat)
TJ Cinabun
pork rinds
Big Mac
There is no rule that you can't enjoy cuisine and fast food. For those who choose to eschew fast food, remember your convictions the next time you're on a long car trip and need a rest stop. Suddenly McDonald's doesn't look so evil, does it? Travel before fast food may have been more attractive, but it was far less convenient.
In the guilty pleasures department, I find it hard to pass up Popeye's spicy fried chicken with a side of red beans and rice, White Castles hamburgers, and Swiss cake rolls (frozen, as has already been suggested). I long for the the long discontinued candies called Fudgies, a sort of chocolate caramel. Great on their own or used for apples. Hersheys was great when I was a kid, but I don't get the same bliss now as I did then. I still like filet o'fish sandwiches, especially during Lent.
Dr. Pepper uses the same cherry flavoring as commonly used for prescription cough medicine in the 60's. It literally makes me gag.
There was this one cough medicine I LOVED as a kid, but I don't think it was cherry. Love Dr. Pepper too.
My top 5... well, the top 5 I can think of right now...
corndogs
rasberry/coconut zingers
bacon/mushroom/cheddar burger from Wendy's
jalapeno poppers
kraft mac & cheese (yes, the one with the powdered cheese)
Serve me a meal with those 5 things and I'm one happy camper :)
I can't even find the vanilla pudding cups around us anymore. (upstate ny) I thought they stopped making them!!!!
Oops... I meant a Clif Bar is about the unhealthiest food I will try.
A Clif bar is the most healthy food I indulge in. It is 100% vegan, it is organic and it has 10 grams of protein.
[If a person is going to be bad, it is the smartest choice. It really is.]
"People who operate from outer signals" (KFC, McDonalds people and their ilk) will never understand those people who operate from inner signals (those who value health and life extension over short-term gratification types a la the simple-minded, Homer Simpsons of the world)..."
-Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
[This Oseland guy is a sell-out... probably getting paid by Yum Foods, the second most evil corporation in the World behind Monsanto.]
Dr. Dyer was diagnosed with cancer this year, wasn't he? Even healthy people can become sick....
While I'm trying to eat right and exercise MOST of the time, I've set aside a couple of cheat days a week to enjoy a few guilty pleasures. The most recent is REAL Coca-Cola imported from Mexico. It comes in the old-school 12-ounce glass bottles, and it is made with SUGAR instead of high-fructose corn syrup. My local Sam's Club sells it in cases of 24 (about 80 cents a bottle), and Wal-Mart sells individual bottles on the "ethnic" aisle, four for $5. It looks, smells, and tastes EXACTLY like Coca-Cola used to taste back in the 70's.
As for other guilty pleasures (in no particular order):
1) Cheese Krystal's (we don't have White Castle here in the South).
2) Nachos Bell Grande from Taco Bell (with LOTS of Fire sauce!).
3) Whataburger french fries. Actually, Whataburger used to sell a breakfast item that I could have placed on this list: Taquitos made with chorizo. They were greasy, slightly spicy and insanely delicious! You guys at Whataburger REALLY need to bring those back!
4) Dairy Queen Blizzards, especially the Chocolate Extreme Blizzard.
5) New York-style thin-crust pepperoni pizza from a good Mom-and-Pop pizza place. Pizza Hut, Domino's and Papa John's have NOTHING that comes close to an oversized slice of the good stuff!
6) Sonic's Supersonic Cheeseburger with chili and jalapenos.
7) This is another Southern thing (more of a Gulf South thing, really), but a fully-dressed hot roast beef and gravy po-boy. Not every place can get it right, but when you find one, it is a beautiful thing!
8) Fried... well, almost ANYTHING: chicken, catfish, shrimp, oysters, pickles (trust me on that last one)... eat this more than once a week, and you may need to keep a defibrillator by your bed!
9) Buffalo wings with blue cheese dressing. I always order extra celery sticks, so that makes it healthy... RIGHT? ;-)
10) Chocolate... because IT'S FREAKING CHOCOLATE!!! :-)
1. Dr Pepper
2. Whataburger onion rings are freaking fantastic!
3. Sonic cheese tots with a cherry vanilla Dr Pepper
4. went to Chicago a few months ago to watch the 'Stros kick some Cubs arse and had the best deep dish pizza EVER
5. banana pudding
hands down my favorite– an In "N Out burger and fries.... When I am on the west coast I swear I would eat them breakfast lunch and dinner cuz I only get out there like once a year-
I thought this was going to be a list of totally disgusting things but I only disagree with the McDs and the pudding cups.
My guilty pleasure? Ice cream. Why is it so guilty? I'm lactose intolerant but I can't say no. I think pepto bismal should change their slogan to the I'm an idiot for eating that medicine.
Like cigarette smokers, those who crave and eat junk food are lower species. The big corporations like KFC, McDonald's, Pizza Hut and even Applebee's know that grease and sodium are addictive. just as a former smoker can never see what it is in cigarettes that he or she liked, same with a healthy eater. I have not ate junk food since 1988. I am 52 and I have never had any grey hair on my head. Only on my beard if I were to grow one. I live on oatmeal, tofu, cabbage, broccoli, spinach, carrots, grapefruit, grapes, bananas, rice protein powder, soup, salad, etc... I have a cholesterol under 130, my triglycerides are under 70, my heart rate is 46 and I do 55 minutes of hard core cardio every day. People who think they like potato chips, Cheetos, mac and cheese, burgers and french fries are unconsciously addicted to fat, grease and sodium. Once you have a warm bowl of cabbage soup, a bowl of oatmeal and an orange, you look back and see how evil the "bad foods" really are. They kill you. Just look at the obits tomorrow. Chances are over half of the victims died because of their craving for evil food. Don't be a lower specie! EVOLVE! EVOLVE NOW. Wake up. before you know foods like Kung Pao Tofu, give it a try, it might surprise you. Time to go running! Peace and good health. oh yeah, not even for $100,000 cash would I take a bite of KFC or McDonalds. NO KIDDING. My values can not be bought!
Wow...what a douche. I'll eat 6 big mac's then kick your 52 yr old tofu ass, right after I finish my smoke.
Apparently eating like that makes you a huge bitch
Anal retentiveness must be a byproduct of your "good" eating habits!
I try to eat healthy and my cholesterol is through the roof anyway. So stop congratulating yourself for your good genetics. What a tool.
Nobody is trying to make anybody else eat the way they do. Good that you've found the key to clean living, good that all the skeletons are gone from your closet. You must be the life of the party...when you leave!
To those of you who have shown a healthier-than-thou attitude, I can assure you that enjoying an occasional 'evil' food does not make me a 'lower species' or unhealthy. You should not make assumptions based on one aspect of my life. As long as my doctor tells me that I am healthy and all of my numbers are great then who are you to denigrate me? This was a fun discussion until you felt the need to show your need to feel superior.
I moved from Texas a lot time ago and there are two things I can't stop thinking about....
Velveeta and Rotel dip
Hot Dr. Pepper – They sold steaming hot Dr. Pepper at our high school football games. It's been 30 years and I still remember how good it was.
And I thought I was the only one who craved Filet-o-Fish....
Holy guacamole – some one else who shares my secret shame of Ro*Tel & Velveeta
butterscotch pudding
hot fudge or hot butterscotch sauce
Sarah Lee velvet chocolate cake with white frosting and choc scrappings.
freshly ground chunky peanut butter
Drake's yodels or ring-dings
bacon, burnt beyond recognition– with a dollop of real maple syrup
Filet-O-Fish Sandwiches? ***Puke!*** I don't go to McDonalds often but I would much rather have a Big Mac than some nasty Filet-O-Fish Sandwich :/
This guy's picture...really? What a tool. I guess if he's not eating at swanky organic, free-trade places he'll closet "slum" with the rest of us.
oops that was http://www.thebeersnob.com with a period, not a comma
I agree on the Dr Pepper and Filet-O-Fish sandwiches...I have guilty beer pleasures sometimes, like Corona with lime, as opposed to the good craft beer I prefer (http://www.thebeersnob,com)
What?! No round table pizza?!
1) Dr. Pepper or Mr. Pibb. I gotta have my daily drink. Yes, I need help.
2) Any cheeseburger that's so moist that it runs down your arm. (examples: In-N-Out and Carl's Jr.)
3) Chilli cheese fries
4) Quesadillas
5) Chocolate chip mint ice cream
For those of you that on their high horse, eat healthy snobs, I will bet you a pretty penny any given day that,on average, you will not live longer then average person that eats to his/her enjoyment. I had two great grandparents that ate bacon grease in their food on a daily basis and lived into their mid 90s. And I have read stories of people dropping dead in their 40s and 50s while they did everything "right". No, I am not in denial, some foods do kill you, but sometimes you can take it too far by living in fear.
Love a McRib.
chocolate covered donuts–the little ones that come in a box
fried clams (with bellies!)
spicy curly fries
black raspberry ice cream (the more faux-flavored, the better I like it!)
pistachio ice cream ditto
Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich
cream cheese brownies
Pearl Kountry Club franks
An SNL reference. Clever.
hmmm...
Hebrew National hot dogs – well grilled
McDonalds sausage biscuits
real classic Coke, not diet – out of the little bottles
pretzels dipped in Nutella, or Nutella on saltines (or Nutella on a spoon)
Round table Pepperoni Pizza
Start with a crunchy all-beef taco smothered in nacho cheese, lettuce, tomato and our special southwestern sauce.
Wrap it in a soft flour tortilla with a layer of refried beans in between.
Wrap that in a savory corn tortilla with a midlle layer of monterey jack cheese.
Take a deep-fried gordita shell, smear on a layer of our special guacamolito sauce, and wrap that around the outside.
Bake it in a corn husk filled with pico de gallo, then wrap that in an authentic Parisian crepe, filled with egg, gruyere, merguez sausage and portabello mushrooms.
Wrap the whole thing in a Chicago-style deep dish meat-lover's pizza.

first thing i want to say is that they have filet-o-fish for breakfast at macdonald's in japan. great when you have a hangover, and it's hard not to have a hangover in japan, those people drink like crazy. i don't have any GUILTY pleasures because i'm not ashamed of anything i eat. for example: chocolate chip cookies and beer. kettle brand sea salt and cracked black pepper potato chips are awesome. anything in moderation.
Why don't any of you people go find out how to make improvements.. innovate... maybe make better versions of these foods? I have already replicated many indulgences of my own by teaching myself how to cook. I just don't use crap ingredients.
Your idea of crap ingredients and mine are two different things. I eat and love caviar, foie gras, prime beef and butter poached lobster. The foods I love CANNOT be improved upon, only DUMMED down by reducing them. So go ahead and make your food choices more like water and cardboard. You'll live. Month or two longer than me! Have you even ebb tried a steak mushroom and cheese sandwich, wit extra cheese r does the idea make you feel dirty, like a priest reading Maxium?
oh shut up and wag your finger at your self.
Before you belittle people learn to spell, it's dumbed down, not dummed. And foie gras, shame on you. And this is a fun blog about fun, icky choices. Take your pompous self somewhere else.

To all you uptight dorks who can't eat a fry...I say meh. Deal. You are going to die. We all are.
I eat very healthy, I have about two or three high calorie days a month.
I exercise six days a week and enjoy veggies...but when I want to eat crap. I eat some crap.
My top five favorite crap foods
1.) oven brick pizza with sun dried tomatoes and pepperoni and extra cheese.
2.) Root beer...I love root beer.
3.) Caramel...put caramel on it..I am likely to eat it...caramel ice cream, caramel and chocolate..it matters not.
4.) tortilla chips and salsa...I will clear a bag
5.) Popcorn..the kind you pop in oil and put butter (YES REAL BUTTER LOLOLOL) and Salt on.
What are you health freaks afraid of...Death?
The way I hear it, no one gets out of here alive.

3) 'Low Fat' Kettle Chips – guilt free, but who are we kidding?!
4) Fried Chicken
5) Handel's Lemon Meringue Pie Ice Cream
1. Top Ramen: With the water poured off and only the seasoning packet and butter OR when camping: with water, seasoning and torn-up pieces of beef jerky (we call it camping Pho)

9. Campbell's Tomato Soup with a Velveeta Grilled Cheese Sandwich (ah, childhood!)
10. Chili Mac – simple macaroni with your favorite chili. I prefer Dennison's but any kind is good.
And today I had a small bag of Cool Ranch Doritos – ahhh, so good.
I don't eat this way all the time, but I DO drink a lot of Barq's and other sodas. I have yet to find a truly good tasting diet soda out there with caffiene. Any suggestions?
Diet Dr. Pepper, and when making the Kraft squeezable deluxe mac and cheese, add some regular mustard for some tang, and a little milk...
oh, and extra macaroni, it makes more, but thinning out the cheese with the mustard and milk is really good, tastes almost more cheesy for some reason.
Hey thanks for the tip! I'll definitely try the mac your way- sounds great :o) I like Diet DP a lot but I can't stand most diet sodas (like Coke Zero-etc) Any other soda recs?
Oh the creamy goodness of Kraft deluxe!!! I make it when no one is home but me so I don't have to share!!!

By far the best guilty food i like to eat is either a cheese or pepperoni pizza from none other than a family run business in Pittsburgh, PA. Mineo's pizza is the greatest. And if you don't live in Pittsburgh,PA they have a website and will fedex you a pizza. They are mouth watering, cheese dripping awesome pizza's.
Gee, this isn't a commercial ploy from the place, is it?
spam broiled with cheese and tomato
cheese on toast,american cheese on white bread toasted under the broiler until the cheese is a lightly browned bubble
an In N Out Burger and fries, animal style, I go everytime I am in CA
Mc Donald's french fries
chef boyardee beefaroni

1. Hawaiian punch with crushed ice
2. chef boyardee spaghetti & meatballs

4. Key Lime Pie
5. Tim Horton's coffee
I have to say...SpaghettiOs! The sauce is creamy and delicious. The pasta is perfectly cooked. Even with the slight tinny taste you get from the can, it's great! Subway's Italian BMT with the works is an awesome meal too!
Oreo ice cream
mozzarella sticks
cheese quesadilla from taco bell
And here I was just thinking it was the religious weirdos that went around judging. . . apparently foodies are good at that, too.

3. Deep fried crab cakes
4. Genesee Cream Ale
5. Captain Crunch Cereal
I have not eaten any of these foods in more than 20 years, but would do so in a minute if I could get my hands on them! Prefer to go out of this world early and happy than live long only to sip mush through a straw. :)
oh, Captain Crunch, I love it! I will not allow myself to buy a box as I would power through it in one or two sittings!
1) REALLY crunchy kettle-cooked chips (the kind that are folded over)
2) Frozen M&Ms and Reese's peanut butter cups blended with vanilla ice cream
3) Five Guys' french fries – THE BEST and always made fresh.
4) A Coke – simple and perfect (even though it can be used to clear clogged drains!!)

How some of the losers out there can turn a fun article into some sort of sermon is beyond me. They must really have boring, hateful lives. Now, on to the article. He got three of the five. Hersheys have to be with almonds in my book. Filet of Fish sandwiches just melt in your mouth and I love them And the buns are just perfectly moist. And being a native Texan, Dr. Pepper has always been my favorite drink. We used to visit the Dr. Pepper plant in Dallas on a hot summer day. At the end of the tour, they would give us an ice cold DP. We were hooked for life.
1. Bojangle's Cajun Filet Biscuit Combo w/seasoned fries and sweet iced tea w/lemon
2. Pizza with lots of gooey high-quality mozzarella
3. Mashed potatoes (homemade w/butter and cream)
4. Old-Fashioned Hershey's Fudge (that you make with thermometer, no marshmallow or choc chips or canned milk)
5. Fried mushrooms with horseradish sauce; fried mozzarella with quality marinara
Honorable mention - the delicious homemade banana and strawberry ice creams my parents used to make with the old-timey crank ice crank buckets. Unfortunately, those days are long gone. So I settled for Godiva Belgian Dark Choc Ice Cream, and naturally, they discontinued it. Hmph!
I agree with someone else who said it's much easier to maintain a healthful way of eating if you allow yourself a favorite splurge once in a while. Food satisfies on so many levels that it'd be a shame to never, ever allow yourself what you love! Most things in moderation (and all of the above very sparingly...LOL)
omg...i haven't had Bojangles since i left South Carolina 6 years ago. i miss it soooo much!!!!! loved their chicken and frech fries!!!!
that milk chocolate is bad... but if you've never tried green&black's dark chocolate you are seriously missing out. god, i love bbq potato chips.... and my brother told me just the other day he thinks he's probably eaten at least 500 filet-o-fishes in his lifetime. thanks for the fun article...
1. Captain Crunch cereal... have to let it get just the slightest bit soggy.
2. Tomato & Mayonaise sandwich
3. Fried provolone
4. McDonald's cheesburger on occassion... or an Egg McMuffin if I am hung over
5. Taco bell
A big yes to Captain Crunch needing to be soggy. It'll kill the roof of your mouth straight from the box!
haha why are ya "ashamed" on the food ya eat?..heck i can drink 10 cans of soda in one day and idgaf if people like it or not!
as long as it aint affecting THEM...than i'm good to go you know ;)
oh and dont bring me that BS saying "im going to die" " im going to have diabetes"..ha im aware of that but as long as you not the one having diabetes than why do ya even give a damn?
Because you are potentially raising health care costs for everyone in your plan.
I use to prepare the filet o fish sandwich at Mickey D's. Get ready, I loved 'em, tasty and texture. In reality they were made with stale buns which were prepared for the sandwich in steam drawers right before you made them, I forget 10-15 seconds or something. It sure worked well though, White Castles, Auntie Mae's Cinnamon Pretzels hot, squirt whipped cream into twinkies just for the hell of it, a little whipped cream in a mango smoothie goes far, anyone remember salt on watermelon,grilled cheese sandwiches dipped in tomato soup, basil leaf covered pizza, carmelized vadalias on everything, Nestle Quik chocolate powder sprinkled on vanilla ice cream, and I will finish with a big time chef I knew in Lexington, Kentucky and he liked to sneak out go acroos the street and get a hot dog from the vendor and come back and open a can of pork and beans and eat them out of the can with the hot dog, sorry one more-stack of pancakes with 3 poached eggs on top top and bacon with syrup OMG with a black and white milk shake. Thank God I eat better now.
1. clam strips
2. pimento cheese...this is southern and usually must be homemade to be worthy
3. chicago deep dish pizza
4. grilled cheese and tomato soup
5. and yes, filet-o-fish, tartar on the side
Dicks Drive-In, Seattle! The very best trashy burger ever. Think I will go eat two of them right now. . . if for no other reason than to piss off the haters. Gonna have fries with extra tarter, too.
I highly doubt anyone cares about your binge eating for the evening. Go ahead and put yourself in an early grave.
" highly doubt anyone cares about your binge eating for the evening"
than why you comment about it if you highly doubt anyone caring?
stupid
cannot limit myself to only five...
1) the crunch wrap supreme from taco bell
2) poutine (the canadians are geniuses)
3) mcdonald's quarter pounder with cheese, extra pickles and mustard (this guarantees they'll make it fresh/hot)
4) hostess cupcakes (choc with that "whipped cream" filling and the white squiggly on top)
5) jalapeno poppers (west coast style - stuffed with cheddar cheese)
6) spam
7) some sort of super nachos - tons of cheese, chorizo, and greasy chips
because of this article, i will now try a filet 'o' fish and will also need to pick up a dr. pepper tomorrow.
1: 6 LB Dogs
2. 15oz (approx 20) Honey Bees
3. 1 Grasshopper
4. Childminders' Lemon Grass
5. 1 bottle Whiskey
Recipe:
1. Take dog from your neighbor when not looking
2. Run
3. Open whiskey bottle and take drinks
4. Hit dog with empty bottle.
Mix in meat grinder until fully processed...it should look like hamburger. Mix well with garlic salt and form into patties. Cook just until the blood runs out of the top of the meat and then you know your Canine is cooked. Serve to your wonderful neighbors!!! How fun!
so what exactly do you do with the grasshopper, lemon stuff and honey bees, you sick f**k??
fortunately, my dogs would royally maul your sorry butt if you ever came near them to hurt them!
Here goes:

1) White Castle Hamburgers...one of those foods that you suddenly HAVE to HAVE but almost immediately regret afterwards.
2) Liver and Onions. I have gone to the wonderful White House Inn in West Chester Ohio and ordered Liver and Onions over Filet Mignon to the shock and disgust of fellow diners. I can't help it.
3) The "butter" sauce from Papa Johns...I will dip not just the crust, but the whole pizza slice in this stuff...its like Artificial Butter Crack.
4) Red Lobster Cheese biscuits...(my mind is screaming "Don't fill up on the bread! It's All-You-Can-Eat-Shrimp Night" and my stomach shouting back. "Hand over the cheese biscuits and nobody gets hurt!")
5) Peanut Butter Sandwiches dipped in Lipton's Chicken Noodle Soup.....its what mom would give me when I was sick and it seemed to make everything better with nothing more then white bread, sugar and tons of salt!
Those Red Lobster cheese biscuits are amazing as well as the ones from Jim & Nicks BBQ. Also, Paula Deans cheese biscuit recipe...YUM! Brush some butter on them before baking and its like heaven when tearing into those fluffy things!
OMG @ the Red Lobster cheese biscuits... My husband and I once made a nearly four hour trek to the nearest Red Lobster in large part for those biscuits. :)

3. home made pimento cheese on home made sour dough bread

Growing up my favorite was Nacho Cheese Doritos with sliced american cheese from the grocery deli, washed down with Wild Berry Hi-C from the big can. Couldn't beat it.
I also liked dipping hershey kisses in peanut butter.
Also, just plain saltines and water are awesome, even now that's my favorite.
just thought of #6 (sorry) Hostess powdered raspberry filled donuts!!! Hard to find!!!
I loved those as a kid! do they still make them?
A hot dog from Ted's in Buffalo, NY (or Arizona) with the "works". I don't live there anymore but I just decided I have to drive there this weekend to indulge.
I gained 4 pounds in the past 4 weeks...I dont like it, but i know what caused it. I ate and drank like a pig because im stressed out.
LOL-this is too much fun..some of mine are kinda regional
1. Half moon cookies-from Hemstrought's bakery in Utica NY-closed now, but they can be found in some resturants and grocery stores still up there, thank GOODNESS

3. Double stuff oreos-yeah old recipe definitely
4. Grilled cheese sandwiches fried in butter, on the whitest cheapest bread possible-while it's snowing outside
5. McDonald's Filet O Fish-thought it was just me!
Translation for #1 = black and white cookies. Available in many places in NYC and nothing to be guilty about.
I love this article. And, there's a reason this guy is a writer/editor – he knows how to share. I was hoping for some juicy Comments as I love this topic ... but the author proves junk food is for the masses while writing about the merits of certain junk foods is best left to the pros.
Yours is the only truly uninteresting comment here. Even the c##k guy is more interesting.
White Castle cheeseburgers, with fries and cheese sticks...however here in South Texas I'm out of luck, so can only dream...
Beans and cornbread, beans and cornbread.

Don't any of you people have a Dairy Queen nearby? Reeses peanut butter cup blizzard, YEOWW! Of course that can't happen until Ive had 2 of their hotdogs and a side of onion rings, I think the relish is considered a vegetable?
• philly cheesesteak
• primants bros. sammiches
• peanut butter and velveeta sammiches
• red bull
• beer. ounces and ounces of microbrews.
Peanut butter & velveeta sandwich??? Wow, I can't say I've ever tried it.
Interesting.....very very interesting.
Yeah, it's like the (little bit) upscaled version of those cheese-and-peanut butter cracker packs.

5. This isn't on the menu at McDonald's; rather, it's my (and my husband's) own creation (we conceived the idea one night after a few drinks with friends and, fortunately, it was as good as we had hoped when we finally tried it sober...heehee): the Chicken McNugget Cheeseburger. You take a cheeseburger (or a McDouble, if you're feeling so daring), take the bun off, place two Chicken McNuggets on top, drizzle BBQ sauce and/or sweet & sour sauce, and replace the bun...so good but so bad for you. There's something about the way the McNuggets crunch when you take a bite... We are horrendously ashamed of this creation because the husband is a phys ed teacher and we usually eat really well, LMAO.
This isn't quite what the list is about, but get this: a local burger joint is serving a 1/2 pound burger, organic meat, topped with:

Of course I get it with fries!

3. Laffy Taffy
Voga Wine....now that somebody's mentioned wines and liquors.
Buy the pinot grigio. I swear it's the best pinot grigio you'll find - and about $12 a bottle, too. It comes in a very distinct bottle with a large black cap.
(1) Cheese dip. The spicier the better.
(2) Fried mozzarella sticks. What's not to like? It has the two main food groups – cheese and fried.

(5) Bisquick sausage and cheese balls.

What about c0ck? Doesn't anyone else like eating it?
Ok Sally, I'll own up to liking it. And I don't feel guilty about it.
Really nice (and maybe also expensive) red wine.
Here's the embarrasing part. The half empty bottle from the night before. Cold, I mean REALLY cold. And straight from the bottle. Preferably drunk while playing some online computer game in my pajamas late in the afternoon.
I like everything about this post, right down to the cold red wine and being drunk on it while playing games.
Thank you! EveOnline...

I totally agree about MickeyD's Fish. There's something about the taste of it, especially when it's nice and hot, that just makes you feel so dang good!
My guiltiest pleasure as of late? Dr. Pepper Cherry. I knew I was addicted when I got up in the middle of the night and went to the only store open 3 counties over!
I was watching an episode of America's Next Top Model (yeah, I know but there was nothing else on) and there was a contestant from St. Louis. She produced a bag of Old Vienna Barbecue Potato Chips and I darn near slobbered right then and there.
So in that order:
1. McFish
2. Dr. Pepper Cherry
3. Old Vienna Barbecue Potato Chips
4. Imo's Pizza (St. Louis thing)
5. Pocky (if you've never had pocky – chocolate, strawberry or chocolate dipped almond, you haven't lived)

Drum Roll Please.....

5. Double cheeseburger from Wendy's
6. C0ck Soup. It's good!
Ooooo, I agree about the fried pickles in ranch dressing. The renaissance festival always has the best ones, cause they have pickle spears instead of the pickle chips. Mmmm.
These comments are making me hungry.
Tuna Tacos & Fur burgers,
What about c0ck? everyone needs some protein now and then... can't get that from fish tacos and fur burgers..
Along with the filet-o-fish sandwich, add the spicy chicken sandwich from Carls Jr (and, I assume, Hardees). There's really nothing special about it.....a slab of spicy fried chicken, some lettuce, a slap of mayo, all on a bun........but I love 'em!! (and the fact that they're 99 cents, every day, doesn't hurt either!!)
Any man without steak or some dead animal (Not fish) in his top five list is obviously packing hersheys bars. THis list is purely Queer Eye for the Food Guy. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I'm no homophobe... It's just not to my tastes. How bout this list:
5) 12 Year Old Scotch
4) Beer
3) T-Bone Steak
2) Fried Chicken
1) French Fries next to beer battered steak with a glass of scotch on the side.
Now there's a list with some... what's the word Ms. Palin? Oh yeah... COJONES!
The list is about food you are embarrased to consume. Your list is the Republican meal card at most events. Rob, you didn't get it right, you should have payed more attention to the article. Sort like Ms. Palin on most issues.
Yeah, I am sure he is really "ashamed" to eat that stuff.
like the author, I came off my strict vegi diet with a drive thru filet o fish
ultimately found burgerking fish sandwich and capt. d's better, but don' eat this stuff anymore
I'll never set foot in a McDonalds again, not even if it's the only thing available on the highway. I'd rather survive the hunger pangs for another few miles.
I hear u bother !!! I use the drive thru !!!
THE ORIGINAL SCOOTER PIE!
Who couldn't love a Scooter Pie???
For those of you NOT in the know, a Scooter Pie is a cakelike sandwich filled with mashmallow and covered in chocolate. The cake reminded me somewhat of a graham cracker crust.
Scooter Pies wer originally made by Burry (the same people who *sniff* sold off the Gaucho cookie to the Girl Scouts of America) and then the SP was sold to another baker...they were never the same after that.
ANd nobody at all has mentioned...
GIRL SCOUT COOKIES!!!!
Any GS cookie, anytime anwhere...Thin Mints and what was the Gaucho are my faves!
In Texas we call these Moon Pies! My favorite is banana dipped in Hershey's chocolate sauce.....
Those were the best....until they were sold off.:(
I'm so sorry.....I hate to say it, but I for the life of me don't get the appeal of marshmallows.
However I agree 100% regarding GS cookies! Thin mints!!
Multiple folks have mentioned different flavors of GS cookies.
Wow, I guess it's really a matter of personal choice! Here are my top 5 for sweet and salty:
(1) Ding Dongs
(2) Chocolate Zingers
(3) PopTarts
(4) Entenmanns's chocolate donuts
(5) Snickers
(1) Doritos
(2) Crunchy Cheetos
(3) Beef jerky
(4) McChicken sandwich (extra mayo please!)
(5) Onion rings
Hell yeah to the jerky! Now that's a good item for the list
1.Cheese Doritos with heaps of sour cream.
2.Haagen Daz. Nightly.
3. Caramel Macchiato with whipped cream. Daily.
4. Amigos crispy burritos.
5. Cheesecake Factory's fried Buffalo Blasts. As often as possible.
I may need to change my diet.
Yeah, this kind of stuff daily is not good.
This board is HILARIOUS!!! It's so fun to read everyone's guilty pleasures!!
I haven't had a Hostess 'anything' in yeeeaaarrrs! I used to love their ding-dongs and hohos.
And of course Kraft mac & cheese!!
Cap'n Crunch cereal is awesome too.....but it hurts the roof of my mouth.
Ever tried scrambled eggs with a hot dog cut up in it.........my husband loooooves it.........kinda grosses me out.
Ah man I FORGOT Cap'n Crunch! Just had a bowl of Peanut Butter Crisp for lunch the other day. :P
Now this is just gross. Hershey's bars (the regular kind) are just awful. AWFUL. They are disgusting and taste like I'm having a shot of corn syrup with my chocolate. Not so with at least stepping up to Symphony, which is cheap and readily available. What the hell is the editor of saveur on about, Hershey's having velvety mouth feel? It's oily and gross.
Apparently he likes oily things because the McFish is probably one of the oiliest things I've eaten. In fact, the KFC double down was less oily.
Now, my own personal foods I'm ashamed to say that I love?
I like fruity things, they're friggin delicious. I like the McDonalds yogurt Parfaits.
I also love cereal. Breakfast ceral. As a snack at some point during the day that isn't breakfast.
Denny's. It's gotta be late at night, though.
Come on...it doesn't count, UNLESS eating it 3 times a day is dangerous!
Bacon. Thin, thick, applewood smoked, who cares. Nice & Hot. If I die, I'll die happy (Not hungry)!
I've got a recipe somewhere for chocolate cupcakes with bacon!
There is a local delicacy in Chicago called "bacon buns". A sweet dough bun (Like a hawaiian roll) filled with ground ham, bacon, onions, & spices.
Dr. Pepper lovers–try those orange-colored marshmallow Circus Peanuts with the Dr. Pepper. Yum!
Ha! I knew it was just a matter of time before someone mentioned the very misunderstood Circus Peanut ;)
Thye are neither Circus nor Peanuts. Discuss....
What about Necco Wafers? Ugh...
Somebody here HAS to love them...
I love necco wafers but only if i can fiind the all chocolate ones.
I agree with all of his choices. Yummy decadence. However, when I lived in Mexico, all I wanted upon my return was a Whopper with cheese. Shame on me, but o-boy was that first one good! Filet-o-fish is wonderful, but so awfully unhealthy. Who knew fish could be so bad?
Whopperwith cheese for me, too...and I don't care if I have to swim in it while I'm eating it!:)

1. Five Guys burgers and fries
2. Culver's Cod Fillet Sandwich
3. Cadbury Easter Eggs
4. A&W Cream Soda
5. Freebirds burritos
Oh damn! Culvers! Yes, Culvers! The Butterburger with cheddar – left that off my list. Pardon me, gotta find my car keys...
Oooh!!! I forgot about Five Guys. Mmmm.
I don't get the 5 Guys thing. And their fries are eh. Now Mickey D's fries before they changed the grease? Perfection.
My guilty pleasures:
Biscuits and Gravy made with Milnot condensed milk (not sweetened of course)
Chicken Gizzards (fried is okay but boiled with potatoes, yum) I even know a place that does them Chinese style.
Nutella on Annie's orange thin cookies, or on hot buttered toast or my fave: on a spoon!
Deep Fried whole catfish
The fried pork blood in the pan after you cook pork chops.
Why yes, I was raised white trash; how did you know? LOL, hope this gives ol' void a case of the vapors.
A&W cream soda! I haven't thought about that in a long time but now I absolutely need some . . .
1.Zingers.[I love those things!]
2.Choco Taco's from Taco john's
3.Cap'n Crunch cereal.
4.Chocolate chips out of the bag [nestle]
5.Jell-o with milk. weird i know, but i have loved that since being a kid.
Love Jello with milk!
I do #4 as well. Yum.
I can't wrap my mind around the jello with milk...but my sister thinks nothing of it.
In no particular order:
Lay's Potato Chips w/a carton of French Onion Dip (no ridges on these chips – only the regular kind)
Taco Bell Beef Baja Chalupa
Spaghettios with Weenies
Double Stuff Oreos
5-way Chili (spaghetti noodles, chili, cheese, onions, & sour cream)
and a veryspecial nomination goes to......
~~~~White Castle Chocolate Milk Shake!!!!~~~~~
Nuff said!
OH! Why has nobody mentioned Reeses Cups? I must have them in the house at all times. Diet Pepsi is the only thing I drink, except for chocolate milk made from Hershey's Syrup. Filet o Fish is a favorite because of the soft buns – the cinnamon buns at Cici's Pizza – to die for! soft, gooey, delish...Arby's potato cakes! Cape Cod Kettle Chips – BBQ but I can't find them anymore! Spaghettio's (no meatballs) oh...Pop Tarts – UNFROSTED brown sugar cinnamon!
1. Chef Boyardee Beefaroni
2. Hostess cupcakes
3. sour cream and onion potato chips
4. McDonalds apple pie
Anyone from Bremen, Northern Germany, or with ancestors from there will recognize kale with pinkelwurst - one of my all-time favorite dishes. Pinkelwurst is a heart attack on a plate, but if you eat it only once or twice a year, who cares? Absolutely delicious. Another guilty pleasure of mine is the fat on a big slab of rib roast. I'm a real chocoholic, too, but hate Hershey's. To me, it is salty and sour-tasting, and in general, cheap and poor in quality. Drink of choice? Snapple Diet Peach! Yum!
McDonalds had me sold on the Filet O' Fish and their morning biscuit sandwiches back in the 80s. I don't eat them often now or then but I remember making a special trip on my bike to McDonalds after I finished delivering my morning newspapers on the weekend back in the 80s.
Any kind of Lay's chips are better than Dorito's on any day. No way, not all bbq chips, some chips SUCk,when they are too salty. I have no particular taste for the rest of the things on the list but I've always thought Dark Chocolate and coconut almond joy's were a good combo and Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch, no matter how much it destroys the roof of my mouth.
Hey! If you think you like Mc donnals Filet of Fish, just go and by the fillet of fish of Burguer king! The difference is so awesome that I will never ever visit Mc do again!!!!!!!!!
Been there, ate the fish, wore the crown, but still prefer McDonalds. I guess it's what I've grown up with and I prefer it over any other chain. If I ever get one that tastes fishy, I don't go back. (My mom gave us cod liver oil as children growing up in northern Ohio- any reminder makes me want to heave)
yay, oseland! i LOVE mcD's filet-o-fish!! :)
Let's see......
Frozen Snicker Bars
Jack-in-the-Box Onion Rings

3.Mc Donalds apple pie
4.Cheeszits
5.Chocolate M& M's
Agree with everything and will add one.

1. Mayo, LOTS of mayo on almost everything
2. Jimmy John's Gargantuan Sub with extra everything
3. BBQ Wingers and/or Pop Chips
4. Fried SPAM

Jack in the Box tacos with a side of onion rings
Fillet o' Fish, tartar sauce AND ketchup
Hostess mini chocolate donuts
Ruffles
Barq's Root beer
The taco thing cracked me up. It's the most disgusting, anti-nutrition, totally loaded with fat and without any substance, hot nasty goodness out there. I eat them a few times a year and refuse to have witnesses.
Btw, after being in Europe for 2 weeks during a heat wave, all I wanted when I returned was a 32 ounce Big Gulp Coke crammed with ice and some chinese food.
Froot Loops out of the box.
OOOOOOH yes!
OK, I live in Baltimore, and one of these is a local delicacy:
Berger cookies served with a scoop of Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia ice cream. The Berger cookie is a local concoction of a soft vanilla/buttery cookie in a sort of round pillow shape, topped with a thick layer of fudge frosting. Their secret is that they use really good stuff in their cookies. The combination of chocolate and the cherries in the ice cream is...well, it's unprintably good.
I'm a 'Skins fan who tailgated with some Ravens fans – I was introduced to the Berger cookie...we didn't fight about the game but things DID get ugly over the last cookie!
I don't even need the ice cream...the Berger cookie ROCKS!
Good luck this season ;-P
Berger cookies are amazing! The fresher the better : )
What ever you do DON"T tell Michelle Obama you eat this stuff............or she will be knocking down your door with the "food police"........
I'll bet Nancy Reagan never touched any of this stuff, either. She was scrawny!
I totally forgot Little Debbie Peanut Butter sticks. Beyond yummy and soooo awful for you!
Warm Sourdough Bread
Chocolate Ice Cream
Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper
Culver's French Fries (they're better than McDonalds)
Top Ramen......with a cracked egg cooked in it
Don't have a Culver's around here, but if I ever come across one I'll be sure to stop in for fries :o)
Middleswarth bbq chips should be legendary.
1. Helluva Good French Onion Dip and no-brand rippled chips (they always seem saltier)
2. Potatoes and gravy from KFC
3. Pickled Polish Sausages with saltines
4. Fronions from Friendly's with the spicy red pepper dipping sauce...
5. Dr. Pepper–The Cherry kind..
And I love pork rinds...the spicy ones rock...
Why are you ashamed to say you love these foods? Lighten up! Moderation is the key.
AMEN!
Both my doctor and my dentist say I should give up Dr. Pepper. I've been drinking them for almost 40 years so it probably won't happen (though I have cut back)
As for McDonalds . . . I remember when my parents used to take us there for dinner when they were first founded.
You still can't beat their Filet O Fish. I've yet to get one that tastes "fishy" and Fish oily".
Hershey's chocolate – at my age, gives me indigestion. Prefer homemade pudding to any other type.
And I never turn down a non-chain pizza. Or Chinese Food. Or authentic Cuban food.
If God didn't mean for us to enjoy food, he wouldn't have made it taste SOOOOO good!
We live in Indianapolis and there are no Sonics so whenever we go on a trip, I scope out if there are any on the way to our destination. I LOVE their tater tots and it really is a treat for me to have them. McD's Filet-o-Fish, French Fries and White Castle. I also have a container of Marshmallow Fluff in my pantry as we speak! There is an episode of 'Everybody Love Raymond' where Ray talks about eating Fluffer-Nutters when he was a kid and whenever I see that episode, I have to have one myself!
Check the Sonic website. They list one in Avon and Camby. Ours just closed in Kokomo and the one in Logansport is closed now too.
Hey all I live in Peru. Yeah it sux the Kokomo one closed, I never did get to the one in Logan, it wasn't open for very long was it? Speaking of fish sandwiches they had a pretty good one! To Sharon O I could've sworn that on the NE side of Indy around 86th and 465/69 interchange there was a sonic (right there by SuperTarget). I haven't been down that way for a while, did it close too? Oh well, at least we have Rallyburgers :D
SLIDERS, SLIDERS, SLIDERS! Patt & Vanna love Sliders. Eddie Trunk loves Sliders. A South-Side Chicagoan loves Sliders (And the Sox!). Gene Simmons loves Sliders. And, what would God eat? YEP......SLIDERS! C'mon SLIDERS Fans, unite! Who's hungry for a #1?
I think you forgot to mention sliders...
I try to eat healthy and usually do ok – except when I visit Cincinnati OH. Graeter's Ice Cream and Skyline Chilli! I can never say "no."

I just had a lovely serving of bulgur wheat and eggplant, but what I want is 1-5!!! Mmmmm....
I have a secret love of cheap chocolate, ie Hershey's, M&M's, etc. Russell Stovers assorted chocs!! I'm supposed to be into organic free-range fair trade biodynamically farmed chocolate from the sweeties aisle at Whole Foods, right? Sure, sometimes... but I'd rather have some Hershey's!
Add to my list: Burger King bacon double cheeseburger, glazed donuts (glazing is a gift from God), and Double Stuf Oreos - the old recipe WITH trans fats!
1. McDonald's french fries
2. Peanut Butter Twix candy bars
3. Red Robin Buffalo Chicken Strips ("Buffalo Clucks")
4. Girl Scout Thin Mints
5. Corn Dogs
I love Fish Fillet from McDonalds. My husband is absolutely grossed out by me because I love it. I can devour them all day.
We love crap chips by UTZ
Filet-O-Fish is not that good.
Hershey's bar is ok if it's cold.
BBQ Kettle Chips are exceptional.
Dr. Pepper is strange.
Swiss Miss Vanilla Pudding is superior.
Donuts for sure!!! ANYTHING from Taco Bell!!!, Cheese popcorn– I will eat the ENTIRE bag! Anything fried (mozzarella sticks, zucchini, onion rings, etc!), Filet O'Fish, KFC, and anything you get that's greasy and gooey at the state fairs!!!
1 – Dr. Pepper.... I don't buy it anymore because a case won't last the day in my house
2 – McD cheeseburgers – I loved the "#2 cheeseburger meal" – then they got rid of it
3 – Both Cool Ranch and Orig. Doritos
4 – Dunkin Donuts coffee coolata
YUMMY
I was recentlly at a Mcdonalds that still sells the cheeseburger meal!!
Not that I go often, haven't been to a McDonald's in over 1 year – but I do know they aren't sold here :(
Oh yeah – Wendy's "Chocolate Coffee Toffee Twisted Frosty"
Agreed! I'm never far from a bag of Haribo Gummies. Have you ever put one in a glass of water for a few hours? It turns into a giant gummie bear...
...and you're welcome ;-D
Hiarious! I'm going to have to try that...thanks!
Your life will never be the same from that day forward ;)
Ahh, someone finally hit on mine! Fried pork rinds – i go for the hot and spicy variety. Hey – good source of protein!
Hawaiian Punch (preferably from a can, but I doubt you can get those any more)
Kraft Mac N' Cheese
Skor bars (plural!)
Reece's peanut butter sundaes from Friendly's
Those square Pepperidge Farm cakes from the freezer section.
Two words:
Pickled Eggs
I love 'mexican' Coke, e.g. Coke made and bottled in Mexico, since it is the only Coke made and sold that actually contains sugar not that high fructose crap...wish they sold it more places. My only vice...Coke.
I'm with you on the Mexican Cokes. It's the way Cokes used to be (and still should be).
Wegmans grocery stores still sell the "Mexican coke" in their International section. Glass bottles even!
Now I gotta go to Wegman's for the Mexican Coke! My other pleasures aren't drive-thru, but SOS (chipped beef gravy, yummy with butter over baked potatoes) Mounds bars, HoHos and homemade peanut blossom cookies. I'm ready to bake now.
My local Costco carries it.
I'm with him on the Filet-o-Fish. What always draws me in is that steamed bun. Sooooo goooood. But my biggest guilty pleasures are:
- Big Macs (with fries and a Coke, naturally)
- White Castle cheeseburgers (gotta have a Big Red with them)
- Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches made on really cheap white bread
- Fried bologna sandwiches
- Twinkies (especially the strawberry kind, which are no longer made)
oh, and krispy kreme. the original glazed ones.
1. peanut butter-chocolate fudge
2. cookie dough bites at the movies
3. popeye's biscuits – THE BEST
4. philly cheese steak
5. doberge cake (only in new orleans)

3. Teriyaki Beef Jerky – It'a weakness, but what can I say....I dig the stuff.
4. Kraft Macaroni and Cheese – This stuff makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
5. Ferrero Rocher Candy – YUMMY!!!
OMG. I don't even need to post a list because, except for the regional items some of you name, all my favorites are on your lists! I just feel so much better about my secret vices right now. :-)
anything from the hostess family! Suzi Q's, devil dogs, and twinkies...mmmm
I took the kids to McDonalds recently and my daughter wanted a Filet-o-Fish. I bought it... for about $3.25.
How can they possibly charge so much? You, my friend, are no food critic. You might say your super-palate, or whatever, discerns something I can't detect in that awfully bland sandwich. Give me a 99¢ cheeseburger any day of the week over this thing. Bleccch.
By the way, I know you're kidding about it.
"(I try to limit my annual consumption to no more than three cans), " hahaha really? what a dork.
Please, please please give me a hot fresh CinnaBon with extra frosting.
Yes, and definitely Dr. Pepper (but not diet–I want all the calories and all the caffeine, Filet O Fish are seriously yummy, and every couple of years a can of Chef Boyardee Beefaroni and don't forget Cake Batter Ice Cream at Cold Stone.
I am so seriously getting hungry!
1) McDonald's McRib sandwich (love the sweet BBQ sauce and tart pickle combo)
2) Chili-fritos
3) Rocky Road ice cream (extra marshmallows would be awesome!)
4) Butterfinger candy bars
5) Jell-O pistachio instant-pudding
Oh, do not forget one of the best foods to stuff your face with is cheese-balls!! Great stuff but for sure not good for you!
Nutella on buttered toast
Tillamook mudslide icecream
Onion rings made with Walla Walla sweets with lots of ketchup
Let's see.....
1. Kenny burgers (now defunct, Roanoke, VA.).
2. Dominic's of New York hot Italian sausage w/ onions and spicy mustard.
3. Chesapeake Blue Crabs w/ extra seasoning.
4. Dr. Pepper – ice cold!
5. Fried chicken livers from Old Country Buffet (now defunct).
Darn, I'm getting old!
Dr Pepper and a Marlboro... nothing beats it. How's that for a guilty pleasure?
You are so naughty! I love it!
Oh man! You are bad!
I love Dr. Pepper, too (carbonated prune juice) and Filet-o-Fish.
One word - Bacon
Isn't bacon a given? YUM!!!
You disgusting fatties. Oh, the sinful ironic indulgence! Why not include 7-11 carnival peanuts (oh, the chewy texture belying the sweet sweetness!) Or what about ensure dietary suppliments. Oh! The smoothness of an Ensure. It makes me feel like I am a child again raiding my grandmothers stash! Go have some Pho for God sakes you freakish hill billy droolers.
Troll...and a buzz killing troll too...
Movie Theater Buttered popcorn!
Spam Musubi
Diet Pepsi
Chris's Hurricane Grill Rasperry Ice Chicken Wings w/ a VAT of ranch!
Red Robin fries w/ their special dipping sauce. OH MAMMA.
velveeta shells and cheese! but it totallly gives me a stomach ache.
Same here!
And Red Bull and Taco Bell...
1. Hershy's chocolate covered almonds
2. Breyers cherry vanilla ice cream
3. Red Bone's baby back ribs (Cambridge, MA)
4. Roasted Eel sushi
5. Mussels in a marinara sauce over angel hair pasta
1-3: good job!!! 4 & 5??? Come on, no sneaking gourmet goodies onto your "embarrassed to eat" list!
Perhaps I'm highly suggestible but whatever "shameful" a favorite character recently eats on a show, I tend to jones for it in the days that follow. e.g. Last week, the characters Jane and Maura on Rizzoli and Isles noshed on peanut butter and Fluff sandiwiches...I made it three days before I felt compelled to buy some....and I don't even really LIKE Fluff.
This also happens to me when I watch The Closer. I'm still having a hard time finding foil-wrapped Ding Dongs ;-)
You want RIng Dings, not ding dongs. :)
My five, in no particular order:
Ho-Ho's
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
Cheetos (crunchy)
buttercream frosting
Pizza Spins – I think these aren't made anymore, but I loved them when I was a kid
Wow, it's good to know that other people out there have secret cravings for incredibly gross junk food now and again...
1. Cadbury creme eggs (I buy them by the handful before Easter and stash them in the fridge–thank goodness they're only available for about 6 weeks a year–glad to read that I'm not the only one who hoards them!)
2. Red Baron special deluxe frozen pizza (but I pick that weird sausage off)
3. Baskin Robbins cookies 'n' cream ice cream in a sugar cone
4. And yeah, a Filet-O-Fish every now and then, preferably with fries.
HAHA! One year, my mother bought a HUGE stash of Cadbury Creme Eggs after the holiday was over; there were tons left and they were going for 2 for a nickel.
She must have bought close to 100 of them.
She hid 'em...but not for long. hehe
1. Milky Way Bars
2. Keebler "Soft Batch" cookies (my god, the preservatives)
3. Coca Cola
4. Haribo Gummies (Sour Peaches, Twin Cherries, and the classic Bears)
5. Velveeta Cheese, in both mac-and-cheese and grilled cheese sandwich form
Nick Tahou's Garbage Plate in Rochester, NY area. cheeseburger, with hot meatsauce, mac salad, homefries, and beans all thrown on a plate. Great especially after a Friday night drinking binge!
1 Five Guys burgers and cajun fries
2 Cherry Coke
3 raw chocolate chip cookie dough
4 Lay's BBQ chips
5 carnival corndogs
YES to raw chocolate chip cookie dough!! You busted this list right through the roof with this one!!! Mom always said it would make me sick, but it NEVER DID!
agreed!!!
I cannot stomach going into MacDonald's, but OMG, something about the fish sandwich! My kids would faint at the thought that I'd crave it once in a while.
5. Anything with a great, creamy, buttery Alfredo sauce!
4. Jalepeno poppers.
3. Its-Its ice cream sandwich, vanilla. The mint one just doesn't taste right.
2. McDonald's french fries...no one can compete.
1. Big Mac!!! How I love thee....
So nice to have an article on here that doesn't stir up hatred in its comments section. Wonderful reading all these responses; our different takes on what is largely american food culture. Refreshing :)
Times Square Sandwich at the Peppermill-Reno Sports Deli.
Italian Sausage with grilled Peppers and Onions, Red Sauce and Mozzarella
The Peppermill Reno is totally my happy place - only it's the chicken fried steak. I can eat one maybe once a year or every two years, but whoooo...heaven.
My grandmother introduced me to chocolate sandwiches – butter some bread, add some Hershey's bar squares, and toast the whole thing in the toaster oven. Damn, that'll convert any foodie to a baddie!
That's the American version of pain au chocolat.
Hostess used to make a vanilla pudding pie, dipped in chocolate. I haven't seen them for years. (My knees are weak just thinking about them!)
The author of this post should be ashamed of himself. How could you be ashamed of the food you eat? C'mon. You gotta be kidding, not even cute if you're trying to be. FYI, there are people dying of starvation and people living in hunger, they won't be ashamed to eat any food they can find.
sweetie, I think you're commenting on the wrong article. perhaps you thought you were reading some sort of humanitarian story?? oops...your bad.
Lighten up, Francis!
#1 Primanti's ham & cheese sandwich – A triple bypass waiting to happen, but who cares? They are that good!
#2 Lemon Blennd drink – Pure sugar with a hint of lemon and orange. Takes me directly back to 9 years old!
#3 Bit O' Honey Candy – Is it candy, or a candy bar? And why don't most convenience stores carry them anymore?
#4 Moon Pies! – No justification needed for these!
#5 McDonald's Breakfast Burritos – I could eat these every single day for breakfast... right up til I weighed 600# and could no longer get out of bed!
Yes, if #1 and #2 didn't give it away, I'm from Pittsburgh!
Primanti's ham sammich is da best! Stay away from my butt the next day, though.
Mmmmmm Salt and Vinegar chips...
Dr. Pepper....sooooo terrible for my kidneys but daaaaaam its so good.
Carmel Delight Girl scout cookies....
Chili Cheese Fritos... mmmmmm
Its been sooooo long.
oh wait..I totally forgot about fried chicken and candy corn. Together!
Any takers?
I'd try that. Ever had peanuts and candy corn? Or chicken and waffles? Yum.
I agree with the Dr Pepper and BBQ chips (did you know that there is also a Dr Pepper Icee also, now that is the way to survive the Texas summers; make sure to also try the original cane sugar Dublin Dr Pepper!) My others – Reeses Peanut Butter cups. Bread and Butter sandwiches (who needs meat) and my fifth thing .... Hot Tamales Candies!
Let the church, temple, mosque, ashram, or whatever say AMEN to Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey ice cream. I can eat a pint in one sitting (is there really any other way)!
I am eating just that right now as I type.
1. Chocolate covered chocolate cookies from bakery in Bellingham, Wa.
2. Chicken fingers from Cosco
3. Empanadas from Cosco or in Argentina from any street vendor.
4. Norwegian Salmon spread on Rye Crisp crackers
5. Eel sushsi from Kami Sushi in Vancover, BC or anywhere in Japan
Yummy goodness = 1. IHOP pancakes with butter and syrup, 2. twizzlers, 3. good old fashioned Oreo cookies, 4. lemon raspberry cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory, and 5. chicken burrito from Qdoba
I'm salivating as I'm writing this...
or how about IHOP stuffed french toast (happy sigh)
Fried Mayonnaise Balls.
LMAO!
HA! I thought you were being facetious, but, sure enough, i googled fried mayonnaise balls and actually found recipes. is this a regional treat?
Chef Wylie Dufresne, who specializes in molecular gastronomy & pops up on Top chef makes a deconstructed pastrami sandwich with fried mayonnaise cubes. Magical.
#1-5 DOUBLE DOUBLE IN N OUT with Animal Fries DONE AND DONE!

Fried chicken, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and any dessert from The Cheesecake Factory
Cheesecake Factory rocks my socks off!
We ALL have guilty pleasures:
1) Cheese curds, preferably fried...True Wisconsin
2) Nutella in any sort of pastry
3) Babcock ice cream...from UW-Madison
4) Cream puffs from the frozen food section
5) Gino's East Chicago style deep dish pizza
For all the haters...these are things I have once in a blue moon. I exercise, eat sensibly, hate fast food, and I am not overweight.
You had me at fried cheese curds, but then you mentioned Babcock ice cream! I really want to go to the Terrace now...
My "Oooos" also got progressively louder as I moved from cheese curds to Babcock . . . And I'm going to the terrace later! Gotta love Madison.
In-N-Out Cheeseburger, Animal Style (Onions grilled in mustard)
MoonPies – I could eat these all day long
French Fries from anywhere, but MickeyD's has the best
Cheesesteak – Pat's wit wiz, Oh man, I sure do miss them!
Kraft Mac & Cheese
IN N OUT!!! So Cal!
Lea,
Never really liked Pats or Genos, but how about some good Hatfield Scrapple?
Hi Gary,
Sorry, I cannot stand the taste of Scrapple, let alone what it's made from.
I also prefer the BK fish sandwich - haven't had one in ages, but I used to work at a place in Binghamton, NY where the only take-out place nearby was a BK across the street. I used to eat the BK fish almost every day, but with ketchup instead of tartar sauce. They also used to have unsweetened iced tea which I drank by the quart. Another guilty pleasure is sour cream and onion chips, any brand. Also cheap ice cream sandwiches. Another one I haven't had since Binghamton (30 years ago!) is A&W chili dogs. (and some root beer too, please). Now I occasionally eat a hot dog at Nathan's (only at the original Coney Island location), and their fries are awesome, too. (My husband occasionally has their bizarre chow mein on a bun, which is kind of uber-guilty-pleasure food.)
I could tut-tut on the BBQ chips as 99.9% of the makers use MSG in them, but not everyone is as sensitive as I am to MSG. Also BBQ chips are yummy.
As long as we're talking guilty pleasures though...
1. Fried SPAM. Little cheese melted on top. Awesomely bad.
2. Dr. Pepper is a hell yes, even though I don't drink sodas anymore.
2a. Cheerwine. Even better than Dr. Pepper. You yankees probably have never seen it. Sucks for you.
3. Hershey bars. OMFG yes.
4. Raspberry Zingers. Kinda like twinkies but way better.
5. Krispy Kremes. Fresh from the oven. Harder to find these days but well worth it.
Cheerwine and Raspberry Zingers...wow, haven't thought about either of those in years. Do they even still make Zingers?
Chico's Tacos and deep fried Twinkies.
Allergic to fish. Damn.
Chico's from El Paso? Haha, too funny!
This article is for those ignorant Americans who don't know what real food/cuisine is. It helps these people to feel better about their ignorance. This guy doesn't actually eat these things, OK? As people have said, a fillet o fish isn't wedge-shaped, it's square. He made this up. It's a joke.
almost every country has their version of guilty pleasures when it comes to food. it's pretty universal.
Byron,
'Real Food?' Please define exactly what is NOT real about this food? I'm sure I'm not eating something that was imaginary. My waist line proves that.
Is this stuff GOOD for you? Heck no! It's probably the worst stuff you can put in your digestive system. But, it IS good, and it IS Real.
I don't think I could call it 'cuisine', though. :)
Don't you think that if he made it up, it would be more creative? The stuff he mentioned is pretty average, Byron. why are you so offended?
You do realize this isn't about cuisine, right? It's about "what crap do you like that you shouldn't eat"...
Baskin Robbins Rainbow Sherbet. Nuff' said.
Drakes cakes Funny Bones, devil dogs will do in a pinch though. I wish I could get them outside of New England, but it's probably best that they are saved for visits home and the occasional care package.
1. If I were on death row the Filet-o-Fish with Fries and a diet coke (yeah, even then I would prefer diet over regular)would be my last meal.
2. PINWHEELS cookies – OMG the combo of the marshmallow and chocolate coating and cookie – get thee behind me Satan!
3. Taco Bell Nacho Bell Grande : )
4. FRIED CHEESE CURDS!!! in Wisconsin!
5. Graham Slam ice cream, baby – only available in the Philly area.
might as well add to the list...
1. Vanilla Zingers (craved daily when 8 mos pregnant!)
2. peanut butter, maple syrup and apple butter sandwiches
3. corn dogs with extra mustard (the day glo yellow kind only!)
4. Haagen Dazs Carmel Cone Ice Cream
5. Pizza Hut deep dish Pepperoni Lover's pizza with ranch dressing for the crust
Wow, typing that even made me feel guilty! Now I have to find some celery and carrot sticks...
3 cans...ANNUALLY? It's can't be THAT bad for you. I mean sure soda isn't the best thing for you but...that seems a little extreme. I could see 3 cans monthly if you're really worried about your health or something...but come on! (and I'll admit...I drink about 3 cans of Dr. Pepper myself...daily >.> )
here here!!
It tastes a lot better when you don't have it that often. At least it is that way with me and beef.
1) 7-11 Nachos with cheese and sliced pickles, they're surprisingly delish!
2)Vanilla Coke
3)Wild Cherry Pepsi
4)Taco Bell-anything goes
5)Starbust
6)pretty much any kind of candy!
(1) onion rings
(2) krispy kreme donuts
(3) taco bell chicken ranchero
(4) kraft mac n cheese
(5) cinnabon
Yeah! can't take it, need one of those bad boys now!
oh, and fluffernutters...peanut butter and marshmallow fluff on soft white bread....
Make mine a double decker!!! Those rule!
Snyder's Cheddar Cheese Nibblers prezels are evil as well.
My most guilty pleasure is a shamrock shake from McDonald's. It's a good thing they are only available in March. I would weigh 500 pounds if they were available all year.
I 2nd both the shamrock shake and the 500 lb comment. Nice to know I'm not the only addict.
I am in 80% agreement with the author's list (not so keen on the Swiss Miss). And there's nothing wrong with eating most of the other stuff mentioned in moderation.
But unfortunately, moderation has gone by the wayside in America. I just came back from my first trip overseas, and after coming back, I have to say, we are one fat, pitiful nation compared to others. America is still the best country on earth, but we really need to eat smaller portions. People are not only reducing the quality of their life, but also more and more will be reducing the quantity (in terms of years) of their life.
Why is it that for most of us, the foods that taste good are not good for us (hence the guilty feeling when we eat them), and the foods that are good for us don't taste as good? Am I the only one who sees this as a design flaw?
1. Chocolate shake from Red Robin
2. Hot buttered sour dough bread
3. Reese's Cups (refrigeration optional)
4. Bacon (fried, not microwaved)
5. Baskin Robbin's Gold Medal Ribbon ice cream
Have you tried to make bacon in the oven!!??? YUM.
Nice thread here...
Me, I'm a total beef jerky ADDICT. I haven't lived in the US anymore for almost 30 years now, but when I do go back "home" I can't wait to grab a couple baggies at the nearest 7/11. There seems to be no limit to how much I can eat in one sitting... I scare myself eating the stuff sometimes. I really should just learn to make the damned stuff myself, but if Ii did that, I might never leave home
And: ditto on Taco Bell, and the McRib. Amazingly I've never had a MCD Filet o' Fish, but I can see now that I must try one.
Garretts popcorn (from chicago, cheesy corn, buttery corn, but especially the caramel w/ nuts...a once a year treat at christmas since it's so expensive
Creamy Chicken Top Ramen
Strawberry/blueberry bubble drink
Taco Bell Chili Cheese burrito
Frito pie
Biscuits & gravy
felafel sammy
It all sounds good, but it's so hot that only the bubble drink would be appetizing.
Butterfingers, end of story.
That was me in my 20's. Then I got old with complicated dental work, and Butterfingers are the death of a good mouth. Graduated to Snickers
I'm hungry.
1. A mushroom and onion cheesesteak from Pudge's in Jefferonsville. (I've not been there in over five years, and I'm not cured yet)
2. Tastykake Butterscotch Krimpets.
3. Soft pretzels off the street corner in Philly, don't forget the yellow mustard.
4. 2% milk with Hershey's chocolate syrup.
5. Breyer's Coffee Ice Cream
Only 4 and 5 can I get on the west coast, but if you're in and around Philly, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
Jack-in-the-Box Monster Tacos: I don't even want to think about what they are made of, but they are AWESOME!! Smother them in Jack's Taco Sauce . . . heaven in a crunchy, greasy shell.
KFC Mashed Potatoes & Gravy: No sign of anything that resembles a potato . . . but they are so good! I can't even describe why I love them . . . I just do.
Underwood Deviled Ham. My wife refers to it as "cat food."
1960's hors d'ouvres: devilled ham & cream cheese all mooshed together & piped into celery sticks. Chill a bit. Try to resist.
OMG...are we liited to only 5 ???

3.honey buns
4.Bryers chocolate ice cream (cause dryers taste like marshmellows, bryers is the real deal)
5.Dominoes hand tossed (ultimate pepperoni feast)
McDonald's IS evil, but for more reasons than you may think. They have a special sauce, I call it heroin sauce, you may call it big mac sauce. Anyway, I like to request that sauce in place of the typical sauces on the big and tasty. And, that, to me, rivals the filet-o-fish.
Aside from that, chocolate chip pancakes with maple syrup. Hey, at least I get real maple syrup and not the high fructose kind – that counts for something right? Ok, probably not.
1. McDonald's McRib!!!]
2. Culver's butter burger
3. Frito's and bean dip
4. chili cheese fries
5. Prince's Hot friend chicken – Nashville TN !!!
Thank God I don't live in a state where Burger Time exists or I would be dead already! I manage to get to one about 3 times a year. It's a drive-through burger joint. They cook it when you order it, probably on some sort of conveyor belt. Everything in the bag is still hissing at you when you get it. My hands shake as I pull into the parking lot, too eager for food to even put the car in Park. The fries are crunchy outside and soft inside, and will raise a blister on you for at least 5 minutes after you get them. By then mine are all gone.
I'm a fries-first guy, and by the time the fries are gone all the grease on the burger has condensed the bun down to the thickness of a really wet cracker. It provides just enough friction for you to get the massive, greasy hunk of cheese covered chopped-up cow meat into your mouth. The pickles, lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup and mustard complement the flavor exquisitely. The whole works is still hot, so it can get all the way into your arteries before it congeals into a thick goo that will "top kill" your heart.
Keep in mind I can't stand burgers from any other fast food joint. If you gotta die of something, it should be Burger Time!
I've never heard of Burger Time, and after reading your description, maybe that's a good thing! Wow!
O_o Actually that description terrifies me. lol. Its like a Goosebumps story lol.
In N Out!!! OMG the best!!! and the fries and the shakes too!!!!
Cupcakes
Pizza
Root Beer
Chocolate – I don't care what kind!!!
Double Double Animal Style – bring it!!!
I'm joining the Mac & Cheese group. But for me, it's gotta be the boxed-powdered-cheese stuff. Kraft is nice, but there are a couple of store brands I like as well. Mix up a batch and that's my ultimate comfort food. My daughter is right there with me. Mac-n-cheese was her second solid food as a baby, after a chocolate-chip cookie; in each case she dived onto them while I was trying to both eat and hold her. No teeth, but she still managed to devour them.
And there's this to be said for mac-n-cheese; it's a cheap way to get dinner into the family when the budget just can't stretch one more inch.
'her second solid food as a baby'. LOL that kills me but I can totally relate!
All regional food, & it would kill me if I got to eat it on a regular basisi but :
1) Don & Bob's Cheeseburger on a hard roll w/ "everythig", fries, coke & a chocolate almond for dessert
2 )Poutine
3) "Super Mighty" from Mighty Taco
4) Duff's Wings (med-hot) & fries w/ gravy
Big Macs
Blizzards
Kung Pao Chicken
KFC
MCDONALDS FRENCH FRIES IF THEY ARE COOKED JUST RIGHT,ALSO THEIR LARGE SWEET TEA.SARA LEES CHEESECAKE BITES AND GOOBERS...THOSE ARE MY INDULGENCES..ALSO LOVE THE DIET CHERRY DR.PEPPER.
(1) Jack N' The Box 2 for a dollar tacos.... owww my heart
(2) Mountain Dew
(3) Ben and Jerry's Phish Food ice cream
(4) McDonald's dollar menu burrioto's
(5) Frozen Pretzels by the box... NOM NOM NOM NOM
OMG...are we limited to only 5?
Diet Vanilla Coke from Frisch's restaurants
I am a foodie and very healthy. AND I also love Micky D's Filet of Fish... and I avoid that place like the plague since "Supersize Me" came out. BUT, I'd love to see McDonald's numbers after tonight... I'm craving one now!
Ya. big ya. Never thought of that. Except, not for me: I have successfully boycotted McDonald's since April 1986 over an incredibly bad experience at 2 different franchises in the Lake Tahoe region. I've even forced my wife and children to never give that bunch of dogs my household income during that time. (I know they've gone over the years; they're pretty good at hiding the wrappers but they accidentally slipped a few times). Nonetheless, you are right. They will sell a grundle of them tonight. Poor choice.
Snickers bars. . . . . and double-stuff oreos. Nothing else matters. Dr. Pepper definitely a close third.
Who.Cares?
I always crave and seriously want some Planters Cheese Balls that used to be sold in a can. Anyone remember those? Man, I sure could use those and a Minute Maid Orange Soda (also discontinued) and a side of Garfield and Friends (discontinued) fruit punch flavored fruit snacks. Perhaps Jello Pudding Pops too!
OMG totally agree to the cheese balls! How did I not think of that??
And here I am thinking I'm the only nutjob on the planet that likes filet-o-fish !!
I can be a huge junkie (in streaks), but I am sorry to say (no offense), anyone who eats ANYTHING from the dogs at Mcdogfoods IS A NUTJOB.
I have been to McD's WAY too many times in my lifie and I thought they only carried those fish sandwiches for Catholics (nothing against Catholics). Didn't know anybody liked them, boy am I wrong!
For me, chocolate coated mini-donuts. They are like crack to me. I haven't had one in two years and resist the temptation every time I go into a curb store. My favorite burger would have to be from Huey's in Memphis but I have to agree that Five Guy's also makes a great burger.
Little chocolate donuts! Breakfast of champions! I get these and a huge cappuchino whenever I make a morning road trip. You can't get drowsy after that!
D@MN, you all are making my mouth water!!! my five
1. Oreo Double Stuffs halved and put together (quad-stuffs)
2. Totino's pizzas like above (cheap and scarily good)
3. Fat Matt's Chocolate Chip cookies
4. Cracker Barrell Chicken Fried Chicken (comfort food after returning from travel abroad)
5. Vienna Beef Hotdogs, skin on
Ya. Double-Stuffs (doing the Homer Simpson humm here). Go, chris, go. You are killing me.
Krispy Kreme doughnuts fresh "Hot Now" original glazed are oh so delicious! I can eat a half dozen straight out of the box!!!!
Agreed. Krispy Kreme donuts are perfection. I always get 2. Beforehand, I say I'm going to save it for the next day, but I always end up eating it.
In no particular order, shameful but true:
Taco Bell enchirito; Reeses Peanut Butter cups; Jack in the Box Tacos; Cheese Whiz on Ritz; Ben and Jerry's Chubby Hubby ice cream
My top 5 forbidden foods...
1. Starbucks double chocolate chip Frapuccino
2. Filet O Fish
3. Fresh and Hot McDonalds Fries, with salt and ketchup...
4. Homemade buttery popcorn loaded with Kraft Parmesan Cheese
5. Garlic Bread loaded with cheese and butter.
Give me beer battered shrimp, Dove dark chocolate, homemade blueberry pie, and mint chocolate chip ice cream.
Dangit! I must confess my Filet-O-Fish addiction as well! I had not eaten anything from McDonalds in years until a good friend of mine back home recently reminded me of how we used to go hard on F-O-Fs on the way home from work whenever they ran the 2-for-$2 special. Now bi-weekly, on the way home after Friday prayers I find myself in the drive-through of the local McDonalds I used to ignore patiently waiting for my "One Filet-O-Fish sandwich by itself please". Help me Lord ;)
hahaha ;-)
I agree on the Dr. Pepper and the BBQ chips (Grippos, which you can buy in my native southern IN, are the BEST). However, when I head to the McD, I reach for the McNuggets. Yes, I know, I'm five. I fell off the McNugget wagon when I was six due to a nugget-induced food poisoning, but when they switched to all-white meat a few years back, I knew my love had returned to me.
1. Reese's Cups, especially if refrigerated
2. Pralines 'n Cream ice cream
3. Popeye's fried chicken and rice dressing
4. Jif peanut butter
5. Pineapple cheesecake
Where can I find pineapple cheesecake?????
Oh god you guys are making me SO HUNGRY. Here's mine – Jack in the Box Ultimate Sourdough cheeseburger is a new favourite. Velveeta cheese – melted on a bun or in a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup for dunking. Taco Bell quesadillas. Almost anything with cream cheese in it.
I'm not sure if this is just an upper Midwest/Canadian treat, but my pancreas is ashamed to admit that my mouth and my brain really love candies shaped like tiny maple leaves. These candies are made entirely out of maple syrup. They are not that easy to find and you can't eat that many of them, or your pancreas will immediately ask to be transplanted. Still, to me they taste like a little syrupy slice of heaven.
Thank you for the belly laugh, Rose. My husband can't get enough of those maple leaves, either. I guess that's his pancreas I hear whining sometimes. I thought it was just gas.
Ha, ha, yeah, you have to be really careful about the amount of those you eat, otherwise, you will really regret it afterwards.
I know exactly what you're describing. You can get them in New England too. Really good!!
OMgosh Rose!! We had some of those maple leaf candies a few years ago. I absolutely love maple candy (cream filled Russell Stovers was the closest I'd come before), but my husband found a company in New England that made them and he ordered two boxes for me. Absolutely WONDERFUL candies and so very RICH!!! Just like pure maple syrup! I still have the second box, unopened in the bottom of the snack drawer. I wonder if it's still good, there doesn't seem to be any expiration date on it??
This whole post has been absolutely freakin hilarious to read!! I suppose it's time I share some of my food demons. I crave different stuff at different times, but here's my version of food heaven: giant sno cones at the fair, Cherry Coke, butter pecan ice cream with butterscotch topping, Pepperidge Farm coconut cake, Jack's frozen cheese pizza, almost anything with caramel, Long John Silver's breaded whitefish combo meal, frozen margaritas–any flavor will do, English muffins with strawberry cream cheese, extra butter microwave popcorn and Wild Berry Skittles, to name a few. Someone mentioned earlier Almond Joy bars–LUV THEM!! Mounds bars too, depending on if I'm craving dark chocolate. I always know I'll come down with a bad case of heartburn after eating one of them but hey that's what Pepcid's are for! I also crave an occasional Filet o Fish, but I add lettuce and tomato to mine, jazzes it up a little and makes me feel *a little* less guilty for eating one :)
For all the negative naysayers on this post here–life is too short not to enjoy bad food from time to time, and if you can't get that then take your whiny skinny butt elsewhere to some other post. I've thoroughly enjoyed everyone's food comments on here and have had a great laugh or two reading them all. More kudos to everyone and happy eating :D
Now I'm really hungry for totally crap food instead of the made-from-scratch lasagna I'm going home to....
1. McD's Quarter Pounder with cheese
2. Fries...from anywhere.
3. Taco Bueno beef soft taco.
4. Nutella.
5. Long John Silver's fried fish and hush puppies.
Nutella!!! i grew up eating nutella with Pain-au-Lait buns.
my favorite 5 items, which would make u diabetic or cause you a heart attack
1- Succe (tea bisquits, mixed with condensed milk, butter and cocoa powder, and frozen for few hours), i can eat the whole bucket if i did not have to share
2- Nutella, on any type of bread
3- French fries sandwich, yes you read it right home made french fries made into a sandwich, make sure they are sizzling hot with ketchup and wrap it with a pita
4- Chocolate fingers made by Cadbury, you can find it at Ralphs
5- Avocado with real honey or Bananas with real honey (not the stuff mixed with sugar!)
I love Nutella too! Grew up eating it on real French baquette – yum!
Here's my list – not necessarily in this order though:
1. Any freshly baked bread – preferably grainy – with salted butter
2. Vanilla ice cream with fresh strawberries and whipped cream
3. Chips – kettle cooked and crunchy
4. Chocolate, plain, with nuts/caramel
5. A good red or white wine
My mouth is watering just thinking of this list :)
Nutella – why bother with all those bread calories...? Just spoon the stuff right out of the jar! lol
Easy Cheese on a frozen pretzel. There is absolutely nothing redeeming about either item, but together they are heaven (for me). Ok Tana, let me have it...
How about foods we're not ashamed to say we don't care that you love?
Love your list – - especially the filet of fish.. I loved them as well.
Here is mine:
Hostess cupcakes and twinkies... Can that count as one thing?
Quarter pounder's with cheese,
Jack in the Box tacos
Good and Plenty's
and cheetos –
wait – and McDonalds fries as well. That's a given though, who doesn't love them?
Raw hamburger. Yum!
Funyuns, only about once or twice a year, but they really hit the spot!
I was wondering when Funyuns would appear! Those divine circles of onion-ish flavor. I could eat a whole bag at one time! Haven't had them in years!
I have never had a filet o fish but after reading this I am going to try one!!
I love slim jims. I hate to even admit it!
In N Out Double Double
I love the Filet-o-fish sandwich, and here are some other guilty pleasures:
1. Good Humor Chocolate Eclair bar.
2. Taco Bell's Crunchy Taco Supreme.
3. Coca-Cola Classic
4. Nestle's Crunch bar
5. In-N-Out Double-Double with grilled onions.
This is driving me mad, I tell you, this is not healthy!
I LOVE Filet-O-Fish sandwiches!!
Pfft. McD fish sandwiches and Swiss Miss pudding cups?
Namby-pamby! Let me show you what REAL guilty food pleasures are:
1 – Tombstone pepperoni pizza. (which I might as well eat now that I can't get Mariella pizza since leaving Manhattan anymore)
2 – A can of corned beef hash with a couple eggs soft-fried into it.
3 – A can of refried beans prettied up with a liberal amount of ketchup,Tabasco sauce and as many large chunks Of cheddar cheese melted in as the dish can hold.
4 – A pan of cornbread with an entire bulb of fresh garlic pressed into it.
5 – A box of Stovetop sstuffing with gravy made from a nice packet of Knorr gravy mix slopped over the top of it.
There. Now THAT'S bad, guilty eating pleasures. Fortunately I don't indulge often enough to ruin my nice healthy BMI and chemistry though.
;)
Could not agree more - the items you listed are delish–have you ever tried a can of Hormel Tomales (sp?) OMG
The only thing better than a fish o let sandwhich at McDonalds
Is a double fish filet sandwhich.
They put two on there
yummy
Ho-ho's...I die for those darn things.
That takes me back! When Ho-Hos came out (in the late 60's or 70"s?) their companion product was Ding Dongs. They were a cream-filled cupcake kind of thing coated in a very thick layer of chocolate. They were perfection.
The thing about the Filet-o-Fish is the warm poofy bun! I swear it's like it just came out of the oven. Probably just out of the microwave. See's Dark Chocolate Butters and Dodger Dogs! Yummmm
1 Ben & Jerry's New York Super Fudge Ice Cream
2 Church's fried chicken
3 Texas Road House Sweet Potato (loaded of course)
4 Red Lobster Cheddar biscuts
5 Chicke Salad sandwich with American Cheese, bacon and mayonaise
While I have never had 3 or 5 on your list, the rest are spot on. The only things I would replace them with is a good quality pizza and cheesecake.
I do have to agree with the BBQ chips though, but only dipped in Ranch dressing. The sweet smokiness is cut by the creaminess of the ranch, divine!
I love McD fish sandwich too, however, I read an article this year that said that the fish used are one of the most cheap and ugly fish! For some reason, it makes it less appetizing now, as I try to imagine this really ugly looking fish that was used for it. :(
The ugly fish you speak of is the Alaskan Pollock. Modern Marvels did a show on a large fishing ship that not only catches the pollock, but has a factory on board to process and package the fish (flash frozen) under McDonalds very strict guidelines.
Ok...so let me get this straight. You're hesitant about eating something you like, 'cause it's ugly?
CHEESESTEAKS!!! I could give up all other junk foods. But don't take my cheesesteaks! I like them wiz wit, i like them with sharp prov, or even american cheese. Give me that Philly style roll and don't forget my onions! I'm gonna get one tonight!
Everyone is making excellent choices!! If you don't understand or think this article and/or discussion are/is stupid, keep it to yourself and leave us all alone!!
Graham crackers!!!
I used to love grammys when I was a kid.
With melted marshmallow and Hershey's Chocolate....S'MORES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG
If you ever go to a Highland Games, look for the Clan Graham tent. If they're at the Games, they almost always have graham crackers. In honor of Sylvester, of course.
graham crackers with butter
1. Quarter Pounder with Cheese
2. Cheetos
3. Grape Soda
4. Kraft EZ-Cheese and saltines
5. Beef Ramen Noodles
IN N OUT.
I really love the humor in his answers...sometimes we cant take everything so seriously!
Filet of fish are not wedge shaped, and Please, oh Please, don't ever use the word sammie....
Buttermilk bars without any glaze or frosting so the outside's really crunchy, tater tots if they're really crispy on the outside, Popeyes fried chicken breast and a biscuit, Five Guys fries, Burgerville's onion rings (160 calories EACH), Big Red soda pop, movie popcorn with extra butter gooped on top, Smarties (I can eat a pound bag of these in one sitting), Pixie Stix (ditto the one lb bag). Damn. I didn't realize I had so many. I wonder what I like that's good for me? :)
This article is obviously a joke for the intelligent people. He had me going until I saw that he claims to eat Hersey's bars when he needs a chocolate fix. Those bars are sugar fixes with a little chocolate and some preservatives thrown in, and anybody who's had decent chocolate has no reason to eat Hershey's. And Swiss Miss pudding? Yeah, nice one. But then again, it's all quite dumb too. Do these companies advertise in your magazine, or would you like them to? It's highly likely. And about the fillet o fish, it's got so much MSG and toxic grease, it's truly one of the most horrible examples of fast food. At least say you like a Big Mac, at least that's the "pinnacle" of fast food, in a class of its own. Anybody can throw together a fake fillet o fish by getting some crappy frozen breaded fish, the most processed white buns available, American cheese and tartar sauce. Deep fry it for the full experience. But you can't make a Big Mac or many of the other hamburgers. So eat it!
Byron – Chill! We know that those things are bad for us....that's a given! What makes us feel guilty is knowing it and loving it anyway. Just a fun bit of nonsense.
Dude, they're not just bad - they're BAD. In fact, the WORST of the WORST. The joke is on you, you garbage-eater!
I meant they're not just bad for you, they're just plain BAD. And the joke is on the people who think that they're edible.
People know how bad this food is. People are aware of the some of the chemicals they put in these foods which is why they are so addicting. (20,000 chemicals in just our normal every day food) they are drugs. And people who can think for themselves know that this article is fake. However whats real are the people replying to this article about THEIR own personal guilt foods. We all have our vices whether it be smoking, drinking, video games, internet (cough and here we are...on the net), eating junk food, bullying other people around.
Just about anything in moderation isn't bad. However there are some things that are bad period and eating a FiletoFish and bullying people with your beliefs fall into the same category. Saying ur opinion once, ok got it, ppl have read it. But i've seen several posts that no one even asked for. Which u will probably respond to this reply of mine in a mean fashion. But thats ok because i won't give you the satisfaction of a reply. my advise in the end? Sometimes ya gotta lighten up and just be happy w/ ur own life's choices and not worry bout anyone else's.
This article is a fake any way (seriously now no joke but to add in some humor) so this never really happened. :)
1. Buttered & Salted Popcorn
2. McDonald's French Fries (at 3 am)
3. Pizza w/extra cheese
4. Ice Cream Pie
5. Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Just two items to add to the list, but together they make the ultimate junk food combo. A king size package of the original Reese's Peanut Butter Cups washed down with a Mountain Dew. You'll be in a sugar induced euphoria before you know it.
Peanut butter cups! Have you had the Trader Joe's ones in a tub? Amazing.
Hate to admit this but I absolutely love McDonald's McRib. It's disgusting, I know but something about is extremely tasty. Although I haven't eaten one since I found one deconstructed on this website, http://www.foodfacts.info/mcrib/, it isn't pretty.
Meat slurry....yum.
How about nachos from gas stations or from school when you were a kid! Yum!
When I was a kid growing up, we never heard of nachos, cuz they didn't exist. Growing up in the Army, one of my fave foods were the canned crackers with cheese spread you got in C-Rations. Considering the plasticky sheen of the spread, I suppose I should call it "cheez"...but it was so good on those hikes in Germany.
These days? Scupper me hide, just about anything. Like I said, I grew up in the Army, lived on spam and rice-a-roni cuz its what we could afford...so my tongue is decidedly un-eddicated.
In-n-Out Burgers
Nachos with Globs of Cheese and jalepenos
Cheez waffies! Hard to find on the East Coast but good! Chhetos too of course! PIZZA–any kind, any time. Frozen, day old, cold, rewarmed, PIZZA!!!!
Filet-o-fish. Nothing compares.
The only food I have ever truly craved about is a buffalo chicken pizza. Sounds odd, but once you try one from a place such as Pizza Ranch, I can't stand many other pizza toppings.
YES! It is by far the best pizza topping around. The best is any place that replaces the tomato sauce for a spicy buffalo sauce. Perfecto!
Oh I forgot to mention Vanilla Coke,Wild Cherry Pepsi, and Starburst FaveReds
Great-Now I'm headed to the fridge for a Vanilla Coke
Hostess Sno-Balls... the breakfast of champions!
Peeps
Kraft Mac & Cheese with a little extra milk added.
My perfect day....Taco Bell Grilled Stuft Burrito, McDonalds Fries, BK Whopper and a lemonade from Chick-Fil-A. Oh, and a corn pup from Krystal. With a side of Knorr Buttered Noodles. Mmmmm.
I love BAHA BLAST FROM TACO BELL!!!!!
Okay, you know you're a junk food junkie when you keep posting more foods.
I know! As I read I keep coming up with more and more wicked foods.
1. domino's pizza. i live in central jersey. that's almost a cardinal sin, considering you cant throw a rock without hitting some pizza joint with some amazing, straight from the boot recipes around here.
2. olive garden. see above statement. that zupa toscana is so damn good, though.
3. white castle cheeseburgers. not the frozen ones, no reason to do that when there's a castle within 15 miles. the woman doesn't let me indulge when she's within state limits, because, as most anyone knows, the after effect is not pleasant.
4. chicken fried steak. battered, deep fried steak? how can you go wrong?
5. wawa subs. at 2:30 in the AM, after (quite) a few pints, there's not much that is as satisfying than a turkey and swiss shorti.
also, guinness.
As a southerner, I drink a GALLON of sweet ice tea. GOD I love it!
PS...Gladys Knight's chicken and waffles in Atlanta....freaking fried chicken ON waffles drenched in syrup
I don't see Carne Asada burritos on the list, most likely becuase you've never had one. Next time in So. Calif, stop at one of the taco shops (Roberto's in San Diego preferably). You won't regret it!!!
About once every 6 or 7 months I have an uncontrollable urged to go to Long John Silvers and order the two piece fish eight piece shrimp platter and add a chicken plank. I know, a bazillion calories, tons of fat and totally not good for me. What can I say?
I also have to have a corn dog once a year when I go back to my home town for the West Point Iowa Sweet Corn Festival. That's coming up in just a little over a week so woo hoo!
So okay... every once in a while I need to have an unfrosted blueberry Pop-Tart. Kill then...
Sometimes, if the wife and kids are gone for the night, I must admit to running to the grocery store and buying some Totino's Pizza Rolls.
And tell me just what the heck is wrong with a Frostie from Wendy's once or twice a year?
Yes! Long John Silvers is definitely one my guilty pleasure choices for "food". During my once a year trip, i get the 3 chicken 2 fish combo plate with extra crispies on the side. Love dipping my hushpuppies into the cole slaw. I'm usually in a food coma the rest of the day after eating this. Also, whenever I make a trip to Central Illinois, I like to stop at Hardees for their biscuits n gravy with hash browns combo. And a cinnamon raisin biscuit on the side. Man, no wonder this country is so full of fat people!!
A couple of years ago, I ran across a Long John Silvers/A&W combo. It was not pretty. I ordered the two piece fish, a coney dog, fried cheese curds, and a root beer float.
Long John Silvers...I went to 3 different ones in one day when I was pregnant with my first baby...oh the shame...
Haribo gummy bears
Filet – o -fish rocks. Somebody at the local McD's was making it wrong. (Tartar sauce and cheese go on opposite sides of the fish.) Ruined the sandwich...had to have them fired.
Somebody made the FOF with cheese and tarter on the SAME SIDE? Not sure what I would have done. You cannot re-arrange those ingredients once they are assembled like that as you can with burgers. Wow. just wow.
Dude...i have to agree...McDonals Filet 'o'Fish sandwiches are heaven between bread slices. Nice!
One more...
Girl scout cookies: Samoas!!!!
Hooray! Another allegedly snobby foodie who loves fillet-o-fish sammys! My not so guilty pleasure is Arby's. Yeah, I know the meat is liquified and reformed into an unnatural oblong shaped thing that most closely resembles something from Invasion of the Body Snatchers, but darn it, when smothered with way too much Arby's sauce, that's a gift in a bun!
Don't forget the Texas Cheese Fries at Chili's.
Nacho Cheese Doritos are the ultimate guilty pleasure. My aunt used to bring them to me when I was at camp–one whiff and I'm a kid again. And White Castle hamburgers. Absolute soul food - only once a year, but worth the wait!
Finally, someone who reveres the MCD Filet O Fish as much as I do! I limit myself to one once a year!
A Double-Double from In n Out! Or, sometimes, animal style!!! Heaven on a hot summer day with a choc shake. Mmmm
Devil Dogs – chocolatey and creamy goodness. I haven't had one in probably 20 years. Why not? I am a very healthy eater and I think if I ate one i coud just fall of the wagon.
ting soda
OH.MY.GOODNESS YES TING SODA!!! I ALWAYS make my aunts from the Bronx bring this when they come to visit me and stash it in my closet. And nobody can have some. Unless they have cocoa bread.
Doritos. Pepsi. Anything made by Little Debbie. Krispy Kreme jelly donuts.
So nice to read something not so damn serious! It is nice to lighten up,...except on the calories.
Great article, great comments.
Anything chocolate wins my heart! Expensive chocolate, cheap chocolate, mexican chocolate, swiss chocolate, chocolate ice cream, chocolate cake, chocolate,......the word is starting to look like it is spelled wrong and losing its meaning I have said it so much! mmmm, chocolate!
I forgot:
KFC biscuits with tons of butter...
Taco Bell (anything)
McDonalds Caramel Frappe
Totino's Pizza Rolls
Spaghetti O's WITH Meatballs
Any fried sampler platter from any chain restaurant
Oh, and Top Ramen! Mmmmm....sodium.
shrimp flavor chips from the Asian grocery.
Now I'm starving. I'm heading to McDonalds.
Once a year- ONLY ONCE- I allow myself a three piece extra crispy KFC meal with slaw and a biscuit. I wolf it down, then sit back, half-ecstastic, half-disgusted, covered in shame and grease. I still have yet to partake of the 2010 visit. *dreamy anticipation*
lol
LOL! Jessica, I thought I was the only one! I do KFC extra crispy ONLY once a year, too (my birthday, or right around there), and that is my EXACT reaction every time! so funny!
I also have to add to my list of shame: Cheez-its, chocolate pudding cups, Cherry Pepsi and cream-filled chocolate-glazed grocery store donuts. Yum! :D
gyro from the cart dude, columbus circle, nyc!
Swiss Rolls! That creme in the middle is to die for! Try them frozen, you will be addicted!!!
Frozen little Debbies. Ok
I have to applaud all but one of his choices. Hershey's bars are absolutely horrible!!
When I was a kid a lot of my uncles and aunts would bring me European chocolates. I loved those and assumed that American chocolates would only be better. Imagine my disappointment when I first bit into a Hershey's bar. I kept waiting for it to melt in my mouth. Eventually I got tired of waiting and started chewing the darn thing. Even then it felt dry and not at all creamy. Seems like Hershey's is designed to survive atomic blasts!! Could be a good thing to have in my nuclear holocaust preparedness kit!!
Velveeta Shells & Cheese – the ONLY mac and cheese for me! My 5-year-old nephew thought I was the coolest aunt ever when we shared some shells and cheese straight out of the pot. Yum. Must get to the grocery store pronto.....
I am absolutely ADDICTED to Dr.Pepper Slurpee, I have one daily, like my coffee, sometimes two. And ever since the 7-11 closest to me stoped carrying that flavor, I drive across the city to get it. Yea, it's that bad lol
White Castle in da house!!!
Almond Joy candy bars! The coconut inside is always sweet and super moist, the whole almond topping each piece always tastes toasted and fresh and topped with smooth milk chocolate? C'mon! Who invented it? I can picture the TV commercial in my mind showing melted milk chocolate enrobing the almond-topped coconut bar. What luxury. I try to only indulge in them at Halloween or maybe Christmas, but if I let myself go, I could eat a dozen in one sitting. It's simply Heaven in a candy bar wrapper.
oh, the joy of almond joys...i use to buy them to give out on halloween, but eat half the bag before it even got dark outside. i had to switch to handing out skittles, which are tasty but not addictive, at least not to me!
My people!
My picks:
McD's Filet-O-Fish with fries
Frozen buttermilk waffles
Good 'ol Oreos dipped in milk
Skippy-yeah, you heard me-Skippy (nothing organic and full of sugar) peanut butter
Fritos
I'm still at work, but after I post this I'm going to the machine and getting a Dr. P. Great article, Filet-o-Fish is the bomb!
1. Popeye's Fried Chicken Spicy With Red Beans and Rice, a girl who could get down to this can get down to Sir Mix-A-Lot.
2. Peanut Butter and Fluff Sandwiches. This for lunch was as a child was the reason I was so hyperactive.
3. Chips A Hoy Soft Baked Cookies, with or without Milk, soft delicious and supple.
4. Buffalo Wings from anywhere at anytime, I could eat 50 wings at any given moment albeit Hot, Mild or Spicy.
5. Hot Pockets, something about the microwave and a hot pocket makes my tummy growl with a ferociousness of a male lion.
Ooh, love PB & fluff...those are my fave sandwiches!
Peeps. Best. Guilty. Food. Ever. Those and cheese puffs.
As for James O admitting this, I'm thrilled to hear that he has a sense of humor. He's so totally snotty on Top Chef, showing his 'fun' side makes me like him just a bit more.
Not sure if anyone remembers this or not, but Burger King used to make a roast beef sandwich. I loved those things when I was a kid. I sure wish they'd bring them back. I'm from the Seattle area and do enjoy a Dick's deluxe burger now and then, but I also love Frisko Freeze double cheeseburgers in Tacoma WA.
I LOVE DR Pepper! I finally kicked the Dr Pepper habit and then 1 day had one and next thing u know i'm downing a 12 pack.... o how i love thee, Dr Pepper!!
Yes! Foodies not being snobs!
My favorite guilty pleasure food is McDonald's chicken McNuggets with BBQ sauce. Second favorite would have to be Pizza Hut stuffed crust pizza...and I have to allow myself at least one can of sugary orange pop per year. I love orange pop. Most of the time I drink water but occasionally I'm a bad girl and allow myself to have it.
Holy crap! Has anyone tried Trader Joe's frozen mac n cheese? I almost blackout after eating it, sooo good.
Hum, I think Trader Joe's might be too healthy for these people, Katie!
Taco Bell Combo #3!!! 2 soft tacos,fries supreme, and a pepsi. It's strange how I always end up having it on a Sunday, usually following a night of binge-drinking LOL
We eat there every Friday and/or Sunday...it was the first place I ate after leaving the hospital after having my kids!
Hot cheese dip made with a pound of Velveeta and a can of Ro-Tel.
Yes!
YES!!! OMG, my favorite!!! You can feel your arteries clogging up as you eat it but you don't care!!! And Hostess Sno-Balls. That whole marshmallow thing is irresistable.
if you really want to do it right, fry up a pound of neese's sausage, drain and mix with the velveta and rotelle. YUM!
You forgot to add the fresh sausage, preferably Neese's extra sage. YUM! Sausage dip!
Yeah, Neese's extra sage sausage! You should try putting it in your marinara sauce instead of hamburger. Forget the pasta, just mop it up with white bread. Oh Lordy.
Has no one out there had a Little Debbie? Absolutely the best worst food in the world. Can't eat just one.
Hey JDF,
Just for the record. Little Debbies mentioned twice above. If using IE, select Edit>Find
Little deb better than Hostess aren't they!
Yeah, I live like 15 minutes away from the Little Debbie factory. YUM YUM!! They just came out with chocolate covered honey buns. I'm sure its great, havent tried it yet.
No one has mentioned Moonpies!!!!!! Also, made in Chattanooga, TN. Put a chocolate one in the mircrowave for 15 seconds and its fantastic!!!
Everything you mentioned, but add KFC original recipe chicken. If I could abandon self control I could live on it.
Add Coca-Cola in a glass bottle and you'll be my dream woman!
Love it. It's like all the kids in the organic vegan co-op in college who had a dirty little Captain Crunch habit. (They are good.) I agree with the Cheetos!!! Chik-fil-a original chicken sandwiches and waffle fries!!! Not a fan of Hersheys, but a Cadbury Fruit & Nut bar (a real one made in England), Cadbury candy covered eggs or creme eggs do it for me. And in the fruited candy category Good n' Fruity, Rowntree Fruit Gums or Fruit Pastilles, Maynards Wine Gums. (And speaking of England, I love love a greasy sausage roll or Cornish Pasty.) In the snack cake category: Hostess Sno-Balls and Chocolate cupcakes. No, I don't have a problem . . . .
I had those cadbury fruit and nut bars in New Zealand - they are fab. But the really horribly wonderful Cadbury bar (not available in the US) is Black Forest. It's fruit gummy things in chocolate. You cannot imagine...
I've had the Blackforest too - in Australia. Many nice versions in Australia. I visited the Cadbury factory in Hobart when they still allowed tours of the production lines. They were REALLY liberal with the samples. I was so sugared out that I was craving grease and salt when I finally got out of there!!
Wow, I love everything on this list except I rarely eat hershey's milk chocolate bars and I usually drink diet dr pepper instead of regular. I get cravings for filet o fish sandwiches all the time.
FOF rocks but I have a food-gasm over mickey d's basic little hamburger. It is an exquisite combination of textures & flavors, soft sweet bun, crisp-crunchy pickles n micro-diced onion, tangy mustard, sweet ketchup, all enveloping ground/grilled animal flesh....yes! yes! yes! no! no! no! yes!
Cheez-its and cheese quesadillas from taco bell! So ashamed to love these as much as I do.
Ooh, Cheez-its too!!
I LOVE FRUITCAKE! There I said it! Happy? And though any make will do, they must be hard as a brick, so I can bite chunks off like a good pepperoni stick. I fill my freezer with them around the holidays, and start eating them in February.
Irish Soda Bread with raisins is #2, though this I like soft and buttered. By the 1st week in March the fruitcake supply is gone and I've got plenty of room in the freezer. By May 1st I go into my 6 month deep carbohydrate deprived depression.
Tonight, I will sleep soundly knowing I'm not the only one who craves the fillet-o-fish. I always request minimal sauce so I can taste the fish.
Nothing else matters~
I forgot to mention fruit cake in my post. I LOVE it too!! I don't understand all the jokes about it - the more chewy fruit the better.
I agree, I love fruitcake.
GEO's "roasted garlic pan pizza" in Metamora, Illinois! Limit to maximum once a month.
1. Hostess Snowballs
2. Pork rinds (the puffed up pig fat sold like chip)
3.grape soda
4.sardines in hot sauce
5.fried bolonga sandwiches on white bread with heavy Miracle Whip
I used to eat fried bologna sandwiches when I was a child. The thought frightens me.
OMG!!! FRIED BOLOGNA SANDWICHES!!! I almost forgot them.. fried in a ton of butter with miriicle whip YES!!! Definitely a heart stopper.. I think I will revisit them.. its been at least 30 years since I had one... the best
Fried bologna sandwiches!!!!!! My gramma used to make for me, on wonder bread with miracle whip. Used to love those things!
Fried Balogna! trailer trash food of the gods...that's what I'm talkin' 'bout
OMG!! Fried Bologna Sandwich on Wonder with Miracle Whip...I HAD to have one last time I was PG...I thought my husband was going to barf...
If you are from Canada, then Pizza Pops are to dye for. I live in the US now... *sniff* I can't get them here. Thanks for the article... I'm now going to blow my diet, and blame you... because it is more convenient than blaming me.
I would drop the BBQ chips off this list (their finger-staining properties are a great annoyance to me) and replace them with a Big Mac.
Shove your guilty food confessions up your rear
hahahaaaha
I have the one to beat all guilty pleasures but will eat it to my dying day no matter what. and what is this tasty goodness.. SPAM goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo spam.
I got quite the surpise at the grocer store yesterday, Bacon Spam. I bought 2 cans. Haven't tried it yet, but I'm sure a craving is right around the corner. Love anthing with bacon flavor.
Oh, you are so right on!!!!!!!!! I have my secret delights too, and they aren't too healthy. I'm a dietitian too. But, we all have to enjoy a little! Keep those ditties. It's good for the soul..............
I've never had a fillet-o-fish. But I can tel you that I am a sucker for really good french fries...and those are hard to come by! I love potato chips too and agree with you on BBQ: Yum! I live abroad but when I'm in Canada I have a soft spot for Butter Tarts. And I just discovered a place that sells Canadian Coffee Crisp in London – Yum! I feel better knowing one is stashed in the drawer. LOL. I do miss the American Applegate Farms Turkey Bacon and baked breaded chicken fingers I used to get at Wild Oats. But I do have a sweet spot for burgers and Today I did my quarterly run to Byron's in London. I think you'd love it!
1) Mac&Cheese with Bacon, made with 2pkts of cheese powder, 1/4lb Velveeta, Half&Half, and fresh fried bacon crumbles
2) Raw cookie dough, warmed in microwave, then topped with ice cream, caramel, fudge, whipped cream, and warm M&Ms
3) Bacon Explosion made on the smoker (google it)
4) Oreo Cookies crumbled in the food processor, mashed with cream cheese, rolled into balls and shelled in almond bark
5) A good old bacon cheddar burger with onions, served with steak fries and a milk shake
This guy's an amateur...
DEEP FRIED OREOS–sell them at mall of america...
You guys want to see somehting REALL BAD... google TACO TOWN TACO (from saturday night live–people actually make it!)
PApilot, your Number 4 Oreo things will haunt me.
My kryptonite: Townhouse crackers, gerkins, pickled red cabbage and PP+J on soft tortillas.
Deep Fried Hot Dogs ala Rutt's Hut, Clifton, New Jersey
Give me Girl Scout Thin Mints or Samoas. I can pass up all those other Girl Scout cookies, but not these oldies.
Those and Tagalongs - can't keep them for long.
I know exactly how he feels about McDonald's fish sandwiches. Whenever I return from a vacation out of the county that is one of the 1st things I have got to have!!!
Marshmellows, Dark Hersheys Chocolate, Pepsi, Milk, not together, but can't live without them
...forgot one: Entenmann's old fashioned donuts. Disgusting, but great with hot coffee (fair trade, high-falutin' beans ground by zen masters and prayed over by monks, of course).
OMG I forgot about Entenmanns....I like their cheese filled "pastry" thing....a great big log of baked dough with smooth creamy yummy something in the middle.
That creamy stuff is usually cream cheese...and sooooo yummy!! I agree!
my 5 are:
Dr. Pepper (THE BEST!)
McDonalds french fries
Taco Bells stuffed jalepeno's
Cinnabon's cinnamon rolls
Round Rock (in Texas) doughnuts (they are yellow and SOOO YUMMY)
I have not had some of these in years, but the memory is still great on them!
Fritos, the big ones you use to scoop up hot artichoke dip.
Cheetos. They make your fingers orange and have no food value.
Cherry Garcia Ice Cream. If they ever take this off the market I'll never eat Ben & Jerry's again.
Starbucks Latte with honey. Worth about $1, costs a mint.
Mochi - a Japanese treat with gooey rice wrapper and sweet bean filling.
Cherry Garcia ice cream is nothing to be ashamed of. It is sheer bliss. And very wholesome.
Ohhh!! I love mochi!!!
Here's an idea, no one cares what food you like. Is this honestly news????
Get a life or report on something interesting.
Apparently it is interesting given the number of replies here.
Obviously you are in the minority on this... plenty of people care and if you don't then read another more news worthy article. As for the rest of us, every now and then a break from reality and the depressing news on the main pages does the world a little good. We'll take a 2 minute break from reality to read them and hopefully smile for a few minutes before flipping back to more serious news.
So if it's not that interesting Guy....why did you bother to read it...
this is 5@5? its kind of the point of the article. troll somewhere else.
Then go read a different article, this site is for entertainment as much as it is for news.
No you f*****g moron, it isn't news it is called a feature! All news media have them, haven't you noticed? Life would be so depressing if all we had to read about was war, death and natural disasters. And by the way, who made you a media critic?
OK, here's some news. "Lurch" played the part of "Thing". Happy?
Having read many, many comments on many,many articles, I must say this is the nicest, chattiest group of comments I have ever encountered. Good for cnn for giving us some FUN for a change.
Put me down for corn dogs.
I see a major category of guilty food missing here – the marshmallow product family. From Peeps, to Mallomars, to the pure sugar-high goodness that is Marshmallow Fluff (scooped on a cup of hot chocolate or in that slice of heaven known as the Fluffernutter Sandwich). I find them all simply irresistible.
you are on to something with the marsmallow category! so many delicious ways to enjoy... marshmallow fluff with chocolate chips, chocolate easter bunnies with marshmallow filling, smores, and one of the best new inventions, chocolate covered peeps.
I tried the chocolate covered Peeps this past Easter and they are wonderful!
S'mores!!!!!
Don't front. He's gettin' paaaiid to list these. I can only somewhat agree with the Fillet O Fish, I do like to have one ONCE in a loooong time. But I don't romance it up with unnecessary pretentious stories of being in Calcutta and having McDonalds in the brain. Thats pathetic.
Its usually in the city, I'm hungry, its late, I dont want too each fancy, I'm driving around, or its a hot summer day type thing, no drama, I get the urge, yes, let me have a number 16, no katchup, I dont want to double the sodium and small everything with no ice on the HiC orange.
Diet Doctor Pepper is great. But Diet Shasta made with Splenda – wonderful invention.
Hershey's also once in a blue moon, only when I get a serious craving. Dangerous to the waist line and gums.
Swiss Miss Creamy Vanilla Pudding Cups and admitting you like them, as a guy, a man, is pretty darn gay. Unless you're gay, then its great! Tell me more Diva!
My other weaknesses:
Big real pastrami with those big fat fries at Jim's... but once every two years.
Taco's. But not from trucks, and not from corporate restaurants. Mexican food is really evil.
Tell me more about the Diet Shasta made with Splenda...I don't think I've seen that here in NC.
Three words, one hella great guilty pleasure (especially since I live in New York): Totino's Party Pizza. Those puppies are cheap and grossly delish, especially if one were to, let's say, awake with quite the hangover.
Loved the article, but what is interesting, yet unfortunate, this list includes a typical lunch and/or dinner for some Americans.
I have to agree with Travis Wilson. Them JitB Tacos are the bomb and i'm not sure what kind of meat is in it. If it is meat. I will take two anyday.
tofu
As a health oriented eater, I was ready to scoff at Oseland's list of shame, but then I saw the BBQ Potato chips. Busted. I love them, too. I wish I didn't.
To quote a famous line: "The things we like are either illegal, immoral or fattening."
Forgive me, father for I, too, have sinned...with: Hot Tamales candies, Kozy Shack rice pudding, Chips Ahoy cookies.
I too love those Chip Ahoy cookies. Dipped in milk, they're the best. Lorna Doone's shortbread cookies, also dipped in milk, are delectable as well!
I have to say that I still love chef boyardee's raviolis.
Liz, I do too. I don't think I will ever give ravioli's up!
I had some LAST NIGHT! I keep cans "in case of emergency". LOL
this guy kinda looks toolish.
I think that it is impossible not to have guilty pleasures in today's world, especially with all the glorious advertising in the supermarkets. Here's a few of mine:
Krispy Kreme glazed donuts or those little chocolate frosted donuts, chik-fil-a waffle fries, totino's frozen pizza, mcdonald's 20-piece nuggets, little caesar's crazy bread, burger king onion rings with the zesty sauce, etc.
These come in handy after a good night of drinking!
I'm surprised no one ahead of you mentioned Krispy Kreme doughnuts. I don't dare eat them because I can suck down a half dozen at a time. Same with Little Debbie Swiss rolls. "The Works" pizzas are another dieting downfall for me. Vienna sausages are another guilty pleasure, but a can isn't a total disaster. And my last is potato chips with French onion dip, yum!
They have Krispy Kreme on base here and I think it is Funny! The military are all on this high horse recently about fitness yet our choices on base for lunch is: BK, Taco Bell, Popeyes, Charlies, and Pizza Hut! I usually go to the commisary for lunch but boy every now and then that Tco Bell Fresca stuff hits the spot.
SO glad someone finally mentioned Vienna Sausages. Such an embarrassment... but so good.
Couldn't agree more about the Filet-O-Fish. I try to get people to sample this whenever I'm presented with an opportunity, I've made a number of people believers.
the only item on his list that i'd disagree with is the Dr.Pepper. I love the Doctor but only in Diet form. The full sugar version makes my teeth hurt – but i guess thats the point of it being on his guilty pleasure list...
My biggest guilt food is Doritos but the flavor i like best is TACO and its no longer available :(
Consider me a fan of Doritos' All Nighter Cheeseburger chips, and our Managing Editor fancies the Jalapeno Popper variety.
I've been eating all the different flavors of Doritos for 35 years now, and the All Nighter Cheesburger ones are the VERY BEST, hands down. They taste just like a cheesburger with the mustard and pickles.
Andy Capp's Hot Fries. The crunch, the spiciness, the way it melts on your tongue! And how bad it is for you! I eat healthy but once in a while I'll indulge.
I love those! Can't find them in the store anymore :(
YES! Andy Capp's Hot Fries! I've been waiting for someone to bring those up, because they're #1 on my guilty pleasures list. And actually, they are not that bad for you if you limit yourself to 1/3 of the bag per time. Which is nearly impossible! LOL Those things are sooooooooooooo good.
My guilty pleasures:
1. Andy Capp's Hot Fries
2. McDonald's breakfast – Egg McMuffin with hash browns, mmmmmm.
3. Taco Bell's chili cheese burritos and Mexi Melts
4. Ritter Sport chocolate (from Germany, you can buy it at Target) – milk chocolate or the dark chocolate marzipan
5. Arby's French Dip and Swiss sub
can i get anyone for taco bell?
Taco Bell is always delicious.
Word! Grilled cheesy bean and rice burrito – it's what fast food dreams are made of.
Oh god...I get the bean burrito with extra onions. I cringe at the thought of what is actually in it, but I devour it just the same.
Taco Bell Bean Burrito with extra onions and sour cream. when the drive-thru gets it right, it is a true work of gastronomic pleasure. When they don't it is simply a bean burrito with sour cream and onions, and still a true delight... but oh for the times they get it right!!! :)
Love Taco Bell...taco supreme with hot sauce!!
i LOVE taco bell's beef gordita supremes with FIRE sauce...had 3 just yesterday...mmm mmm good!
surprising stuff! i can't imagine eating any of those things because they taste nasty. absolutely nasty! but, there is no accounting for taste, because everyone has a different palate. we all taste food differently. personally, i am repulsed by anything that has sugar in it, as well as cinnamon and all "dessert spices," coconut and lemon. there is no explaining that!
my personal, guilty pleasure is ruffles potato chips dipped in sour cream.
every once in a long while, i will unexplainably go through a phase where i crave hot dogs. cooked well – none of that grilled stuff that is still raw in the middle – on a plain bun, with nothing else. i squish the bun around the wiener and pull off the extra bread that is on the ends, and devour it. usually, it takes two of them to satisfy me. the best -and only good – wieners, are hebrew nationals.
shhhhh .... don't tell my raw foodie friends!!!
are you sure you can't go back and delete your post? maybe try again? uh...
My list;
1. Anchovies wrapped around capers. Can't even stand sardines, but those oily bony tiny fish that really shouldn't be eaten save by other animals are so tasty in that form.
2. Marzipan. Pure nut paste with chocolate. More for "On the trail" than sitting down, but at least a food made from real stuff.
3. Del Taco. Cheap but good and filling cheap items. Actually their basic soft/hard 50c taco is very good in meat, cheese, vegetable.
4. Turkish coffee. Like cowboy coffee but without the chewing tobacco spit into it. Have a box of one of the world's finest grades of saffron (NOT available in stores in the USA, from a friend in India!!!) to give it the subtle critical flavor.
those are all exotic
Yes, I like anchovies too. Yes, I like them on my pizza, people. I like them in salads too - so get over it friends.
I wouldn't call anchovies with capers a guilty pleasure. Anchovies are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, making them healthy. I don't see anything wrong with capers either. Now the other stuff is unusual, but true guilty pleasures.
uh, I'll get right on that. sure. thanks for sharing.
I LOVE Del Taco! Especially their quesadillas. We need Del Taco here on the East Coast.
I dont know if yall have seen this or not but they have a DOUBLE, count it, DOUBLE filet-o-fish sandwich now. I can barely fit it in my mouth to take a bite. DELICIOUS
Most of our food plants are genetically modified. Ever see the ancestor of maize? It's only a matter of HOW it's one. Besides, lecithin is lecithin, and how the plant it was extracted from was grown, or even what its ancestors were, is irrelevant. As for the poor vanilla growers, there's such a glut of real vanilla on the market (not!) that the price of vanilla beans is getting out of hand. This would be a good time to get into the vanilla business. By the way, the primary flavor element in vanilla as extracted from the bean - and the only one that's heat-stable enough to survive cooking and baking - is ... wait for it ... vanillin. So no matter whether it's from a bean or a vat, it's still vanillin.

A really excellent talk about the dangers of snobbery in regards to genetic modification of food, among other things.
L-I-V-E-R-M-U-S-H !!!!! Fried crispy and eaten plain on toast! YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh goodness you must be a southerner. If not, around here it's called Liver pudding and it's the best thing since slice bread. I liked it fried crispy too with a fried egg on toast! that is some good eating!
ewww–the only thing on here that I have absolutely no interest in eating....but man go for it!!
Liver pudding and livermush are NOT the same thing. Livermush has cornmeal in it whereas pudding does not. Give me some Jenkins livermush and I'm in hog heaven. It can be fried, microwaved or I like it cold right out of the fridge...can't beat it!!!
You are so, so speaking my language. I live in Brooklyn and bring a cooler with me to North Carolina every time just so I can haul back some Neese's. Food of the angels.
For me, I'd have to say chicken wings, from anywhere! don't put your hand in my way of a plate of wings, or I might accidentially take it off. love em', can't get enough of em'. Anywhere I travel around the country, I'm always searching for a better wing. Right now the best wings are at the great lost bear in protland, ME.
Josh: You should try Wing Stop, (I live in TX) they have the best wings period.
Wing Stop is the BOMB! Their fries and bourbon baked beans (might actually be candy) are really good too.
I'm in Tx too. The best wings here are from Wingstop and Buffalo Wild Wings. But I can tell you, nothing compares to wings in Western NY. I grew up near Buffalo and I promise you, they have the best wings in the world!!!
Josh, Anchor bar in buffalo new yourk. Where they invetner wings!!!!!
I perfered Burgerkings Fish Sandwiches, tastier and superior in every way.
Not to mention anything called "The Whaler" which drove protesters mad for no real reason since it wasn't made with whale, made it even better.
it's refreshing to see foodies that still seem to connect to everyday people. I agree, fish filet is delicious. I think if you can't agree that some fast food somewhere is tasty you maybe are kidding yourself.
Big Macs and Good and Plenty Candies.
The McRib. I don't know what it is but the fact that it comes back about as frequently as the Cicada makes it appealing. And the lone pickle is just classic guilty pleasure.
I thought I was the only one with the McRib guilty pleasure! When they cycle through the McDonald's menu, I gotta have one (then I have buyer's remorse, but still it does not stop me!)
YES! The McRib is a treasure. I have to sneak off to get one so I don't have to hear the lecture about how its processed...blah blah blah.
Ditto on the McRib. I'm a chef, and a culinary instructor, and I have done a U-turn on the Interstate because I saw a "McRib is Back" sign
What is it about the McRib?? It comes and goes for – must be – 15 or so years now?! It is so plain, and so good. Wish they would do them all the time! ...or maybe not. :O)
LOL!
My own guilty pleasures are:
1) Drumsticks – you know, those magnificent little ice creams with the chocolate coated cone.
2) Reese's PB Cups – by themselves or gently gracing some sort of dessert.
3) No Bake Cookies – cookies, chocolate, peanut butter...the trifecta of perfection
4) Still gooey Rice Crispie treats
5) Fried chicken – the crunch, the tenderness, the spices and heat. It's like a greasy love story.
I agree with everyone else – moderation is key, but indulge sometimes!
I have two diet Dr. Peppers every morning (don't drink coffee). I try not to go over two, but sometimes it happens.
artificial sweeteners give you cancer and alzheimer's disease
not necessarily.
Studies have not shown a conclusive link between artificial sweeteners and cancer, or alzheimers.
http://alzheimers.factsforhealth.org/what/popups/aspartame.asp
"Results from subsequent carcinogenicity studies (studies that examine whether a substance can cause cancer) of these sweeteners have not provided clear evidence of an association with cancer in humans. Similarly, studies of other FDA-approved sweeteners have not demonstrated clear evidence of an association with cancer in humans."
Meanwhile, there's significant evidence to suggest that accepting ideas without researching them is a big problem in our modern world. I don't have the numbers to back that up, just personal experience.
Sorry if I came across as a d*ck, but unsupported statements about cancer and alzheimer's bother me.
Someone always has to poop on the wheaties! I guess it was you.
Have you been listening to Jenny McCarthy and her friend's again? Cause, you know....she knows her science, what with those PhDs she has and everything.
Actually, a person would have to consume 50-100 cans of soda per day to notice any harmful side effects. If you go to cancer.gov you will notice there is not enough evidence to correlate sweeteners to cancer in humans.
I think my guiltiest pleasure would have to be cake batter. I also love raw biscuit dough. But as far as food intended to be consumed goes my guiltiest pleasures there would be Ben and Jerry's Chunky Monkey ice cream, fried sweet potatoes, and candied sweet potatoes.
the worst thing in the world is my favorite fast food. Jack in the Box Tacos. I mean 4 are not enough. I once went on a JitB Taco diet and actually lost weight. (hey it was all i ate for dinner). Come on, Fried lettuce? Take my dog and my girl, but leave my JitB tacos alone.
They put the lettuce in AFTER they fry it :)
Guilty pleasure...I am embarrassed...Taco Bell's taco supreme! That was all ate when I was pregnant with my son and gained 60 pounds but man, I was a happy pregnant woman.
Plus 2 for a buck? So nice. But really the Sourdough Jack is the PERFECT fast food calorie bomb.
I would do just about anything for Junior Mints or Swedish Fish.
That's funny – I every now and then I get a craving for a Filet-o-Fish sandwich too. I like fresh fish and grill it often, but there's something really comforting about thte F-o-F. I'm surprised I'm not the only one...
Wow, I applaud this list. I have never met a serious foodie who copped to liking Hershey bars - they're one of the most maligned foods I can think of among that set. But you should like things because you like them, not because people tell you you're supposed to. James Oseland, you are truly worthy of the mantle of Ruth Reichl (who once caught a load of flak for saying her favorite meal was halal food from a gross New York street cart).
1. Five guys cheesburger (with fries)
2. Coca-cola
3. Birthday Cake ice-cream
4. Iced Coffee
5. Strawberry Shortcake with whipped cream
My wife would scream Pizza...think greasy pizza with pepperoni....
Ditto on the Five Guys. My stomach is happy for hours after eating there.
Joe I have to agree with your top 5! Those would be mine too, except instead of ice coffee it would be Starbucks caramel frappuccino. Did you ever have the birthday cake remix from Cold Stone? That is hands down my favorite!
Filet-o-Fish...damn, I thought I was the only foodie that was hiding this secret. Get the tartar on the side and you'll get it made fresh (meaning cooked to order). Then slop the tartar on it. Yum!
Tana, go back to eating your soyturken burger...
woooow! Tarter sauce on the side tip....simply brilliant :-)
Indeed – thank you for this tip! The filet o fish is also my delicious guilty secret.
I also like to ask for my McD's fries unsalted. It ensures that I get a fresh batch, right out of the fryer. Once I get to my table, I unload a salt packet or two on top of them.
McDonalds was one of my first jobs as a teenager...the fish sandwich, with tartar sauce on the side and DIP YOUR FRIES IN IT!!! Haven't had one in years...
1. A Coke float with vanilla bean ice cream
2. Sonic double cheeseburger with mustard...reminds me of a DQ beltbuster!!
3. Cool ranch doritos
4. Kraft Mac & cheese mixed with Velveeta shells and cheese
5. Giradelli brownies out of the box
Yes, James is a man aftter my own as well. the McDonald's fish sandwich is super super good!
If you ever worked on a fish processing ship. you would never eat a store bought fish sandwich again. This goes for fish sticks also.
That can probably be applied to just about any food industry anywhere in the world. At some point or another something unhealthy or unpleasent makes its way into the food chain. Not a comforting idea but so long you don't dwell on it and it does not make you sick, not much that can be done truthfully.
Twice a year or so I get a craving for a Filet O' Fish sandwich that is so intense I'll drive in my pajamas.
I will probably be shot for this one but Cheetos are the bomb!! I know they are horrible for me in every possible way but there are days when that orange bag cannot be denied. I love them and even lick every last fake powdery cheese covered finger afterwards.
OMG – YES – the crunchy one!!!!
oh no! not the crunchy ones...the original fat fluffy ones...
You are so right – Cheetos rock! I can't think of another better choice – well, maybe the BBQ Fritos – do they still make 'em?
BBQ Fritos – you're so right. There was one time I drove from LA to Sacramento and I bought a bag of those scrumptious flavor-covered twists. Pure bliss ... it's been about four years now, maybe it's time for another taste?
Heck yeah! but I think you mean Chili Cheese Fritos
Yes, definitely, yes to the Cheetos!!
YES!!!! Love the cheesey powder!!
I hear you!!!! My fave is Doritos!!!
I love the Cheetos with a Cosmo! The best guilty pleasure!
Amen, sister!
Cheetos make your fingers all orange . . .
Bob: The orange residue left by Cheetos™ is known as "cheet" – I stumbled on this at UrbanDictionary once, long ago and couldn't think of a more apt term. Beware the consequences of wiping your cheet-covered fingers on your pants, haha.
TheBob and JonnySlapstick, the residue from Cheetos on one's fingers is called "cheetle." It was in a book called Sniglets by Rich Little years ago. It was words that don't exist but should! Like, the last slice of pizza that everyone wants but no one will take: the pigslice! Don't know if it's still in print, but our family still uses lots of those words!
That reminds me of my Uncle Louie. Couple of years ago, he went to the doctor complaining that his pecker was turning orange. The doctor said, "So, Louie, tell me what you've been doing since your wife passed away", to which he replied, "Nothing much, just eating Cheetos and reading Hustler!"
Anyone remember Planters cheese curls? OMG SO GOOD. They were discontinued about five-six years ago but I still remember them...
even better.... planters cheese balls... something about the can that kept 'em so fresh... found some a couple years back in a walgreen's and haven't seem them since. brings back sweet childhood memories. yum.
I LOVE CHEETOHS!!! Side note – if you toss one into a bon-fire, it goes up in flames about as fast as a book of matches! :) So, if you're ever out camping and short of kindling... (but save a few for yourself!)
Cheez-a-do = the fake powery cheese left on fingers...yummy
You are SO right!!! Cheetos rule!!!
And how do y'all feel about KFC's fried (not broiled) chicken, Wendy's Tastee Freeze, and McD's hash browns??
HAPPINESS IS !!! 5 million grams of fat be damned!!!
Christina i agree w/ your selection, however grab a lime and some hot sauce and throw all that in a bag of cheetoes and you cant go wrong !!!!!
I think burger king's fish sandwich is better than Mcdonalds. But I can relate, since I like them both. And I'm not a food snob. Everything in moderation.
i agree – a BK Big Fish sandwich is bigger and better than Mickey D's fishwich
The Wendy's one is definitely the best! I mean I really do love them all, but really Wendy's does everything better. It's a little more expensive, but I feel like the meat there might actually have been alive once when I eat one of their burgers. I can't really say the same for McDonald's (although McDonald's is the master of everything fried).
You think Mickey D's fish sandwhich is good, try SONIC!!! Holy poop, those are fantastic (and huge) and even better with a side of onion rings!! I do love the M D's ones too, when Im in a hurry!!
Hell with that,.... try FIVE GUYS for burgers.
damn i want one now...
I'm in culinary school and here are mine in no particular order:
1. Burger King's Big Fish Sandwich. Cheese has no place on a fish sammie, McDonald's fans!
2. Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. I LOVE my chipotle bacon mac and cheese with a crispy panko crust, but sometimes I want the blue box.
3. Sprite Zero. Not guilty about it, but a soda pleasure.
4. Wendy's french fries. I love these thicker-cut beauties!
5. Gyros. Towering, rotating spindles of who-knows-what meat!
FINALLY, FINALLY someone mentioned my whole life favorite...
1. KRAFT Macaroni and Cheese, the blue box !!
2. Diet Coke is to die for, especially from a McD's drive through on a hot day
3. Qdoba Steak Nachos
4. Snickers
5. Brownies made from a box
Filet-o-fish are phenominal. Dicks drive -in seattle is my #1 best burgers ever made.....
dicks needs to replace the hamburger meat with a filet o fish because tartar sauce on hamburgers tastes funny. every got food poisoning from dicks on broadway? i have...
OH!!!! I haven't had one of those in forever!!!! LOVE THEM!!!! Got to get back to Seattle.
The only thing better than a Dick's burger is one of their milkshakes! Love them.
Anything from Five Guys Burgers and Fries
JITB Tacos, not only r they greasy and delicious, but they're 2 for a buck! Can't beat that at 2am
Honey Chipotle Chicken Crispers from Chili's
Popeye's Chicken and Biscuits
All but the milk chocolate – trade that for an ice cream sandwich, say, one of those Big Ed ice cream sandwich cookies – and yeah, that's pretty much it.
Let's do lunch and eat everything on your list! I love them all - but, not together, of course. Guilty pleasures all, and thanks for sharing.
Hershey's MILK chocolate? First of all, milk chocolate is for babies. (And white chocolate is for toothless infants and the elderly.) Second of all, it's not the same stuff we ate as kids. It's about as appealing and tasty as eating a Light Brown Crayola crayon. Contains soy lecithin (a GMO) and vanillin, an artificial flavor that puts vanilla growers out of work. Fie.
And my contempt for McDonald's knows no end. You are lining the pockets of a truly evil corporation. Fie again.
What a troll...could you and your pseudo-food snobbery be any more pompous/obnoxious/arrogant? The guy is saying "Yes, I know these foods are terible, but to hell with it, I like them anyway" and asks for others' guilty pleasures....do the world a favor and brain yourself with your keyboard, or take a long leap off a short pier...or both.
im a troll, trolling a troll who's trolling another troll. so what?
"do the world a favor and brain yourself with your keyboard" hahah love it.
You said it Keith! And very articulately, too! Good for you!
Tana, chill and go have a Klondike bar!!
Aw man. Now I want a Klondike bar. Maybe with the krispies.
vanillin? you may be putting some poor guatemalan out of work but you are also putting some poor chinese dude into work. mcdonald's is good, if someone likes it, good for them. thats what food is about, whats all this judgement. im going to get three mcdoubles right now.
I think that's the point of this article? Foods you are ashamed to admit you like? I'm sure you eat an entirely vegan, organic, fair-trade only diet. No skeletons in your food pantry at all....
The author is talking about GUILTY pleasure foods. Guilty, get it? He knows what you just said about the foods he listed, and so does his audience. You sound ridiculous.
Tana, you need to get laid.
I agree!!! Tana needs to get laid but then again she may have never experienced it before...lol
Get off the soap box and let people list their guilty pleasures. For crying out loud, really? You have nothing better to do but start an activist rant on a simple idiotic article about a person's guilty pleasure? Stop complaining for one minute and try to enjoy life. I am sorry if your life is so bland that you feel you have to demonize anyone listing things which they enjoy. Seriously, stand back, stop complaining and stop pushing your agenda on people taking a break from serious news to decompress for a minute. I feel sorry for your kids, they probably aren't allowed to walk down the street without a helmet.
Good one!! LOL!!
Excellent!! Let's not lose the premise of the article...and PLEASE – some of you PLEASE lighten up!!
You said it Andrew! And said it very well! I totally agree!!
and one more thing. I hope you called all your friends to brag about how you are the third post on a CNN forum, so when they come here to see your wondrous post, they'll be able to confirm their thoughts on how neurotic you are. Friends of Tana, don't doubt yourselves, you were right all along.
Ha!! Andrew do you know my friend Stacy because you just described her to a tee!!!! I get links daily from her showing me how she went off on some comment section. She is always very very proud of herself and I'm betting so is Tana!!!
what chocolates DONT have soy lecithin! I know theyre out there, but very few, so I wouldnt count this against Hershey, although the brown crayon analogy is pretty dead-on
Absolutely...when I was a kid Hershey's was the BOMB...because that's what we could afford, and the "artisinal" varieties were not available.
Now, GOOD chocolate is everywhere...but Hershey's is still like an old friend.
My guess about the chocolate tasting like a brown crayon (and I also have to agree here) is that as we get older, our sense of taste changes. Unless! They really HAVE changed the way they make chocolate. I do think it tastes nearly as good as it used to.
I take it you live alone, and the only time your family wants to see you is.......well...never.
I take it you live alone, and the only time your family wants to see you is.......well...never....
that you are fat, and upset at the world for it.
I love Milk chocolate.
Yesterday for lunch, I had a tootsie roll, a bag of chips, a Mt. Dew and a Red bull.
I love L.O.V.E. love junk food!
What an arrogant b***h!
My dear, you need a Lemonade ice from Rita's. It will cure what ails you.
I'd argue more like a Swedish Fish ice, but we can agree to disagree on that...
Tana, snobs of all sorts are boorish and food snobs are among the worst of the worst. Honestly, we're talking guilty pleasures here and you come in here on your high horse. Get a life and go down to McD's and get laid by the fattest guy you can find. It will do you a world of good and maybe you'll remember what it is to have a good time.
Now for some guilty pleasures.
1) Ultimate cheeseburger from Jack in the Box when you're ready to kiss those clean arteries good bye.
2) Ice Cream cone from McD's. It's been so hot and they're less then a buck and sooo good.
3) Chili Cheese dog w/ extra onions from any small diner.
4) Fraps from Starbucks (seriously, it's healthier to eat at McD's than Starbucks. lol
5) and the Chili Cheese fries from any steakhouse but my fav are the one's from Longhorn.
Wow, I am impressed. Those are indeed some guilty pleasures. Now I don't feel as ashamed to admit mine: White Castle cheeseburgers from the freezer section. They're kind of up there with the filet o'fish I think!
No, those are gifts from heaven for those of us who live way too west. :)
I have to admit to a weakness for frozen aisle White Castle cheeseburgers as well. Whenever I cave and buy them, I hide those little suckers in the freezer to avoid notice.
Sheesh, that's sacriledge...make a mercy mission to your nearest Castle and get fresh ones!
I thought I was the only one in the world who loved white castle burgers from the freezer section. I used to live in Michigan and now down here in the South, ti's all I got.
Now, THIS is a man after my own heart.
you might be barking up the wrong tree
LOL....and I agree!
I don't know if it's the eyes, the ears, or both, but the guy looks like he just popped out of a Fievel Goes West cartoon. Or was it Fievel Goes South? Something tells me that if this guy will gnaw on a McFillet O' Fish, he may just as well be a connoisseur of the cardboard it came in. Of course, I've eaten a dumpster's worth of McRib sandwiches back in the day.....so what do I know?
You aint kidding man. You only live once so do it up right. Quit complaining how good the memory tastes and get in your car and go make it a reality
I have to agree....!!!!! I don't like any of them......
1.) "The Bloomin' Onion" from Outback.–tons of calories..but who cares.
2.) "Banana Milk Shake–at Steak'n'Shake-on a hot day with burger & fries-ecstasy food.
3.) "Rocky Road ice cream"–I eat this delight out of the carton.
4.) "French Bread" with gobs of butter.
5.) "W.G.Grinder's" turkey club-best sandwich I've ever had.
you live in Ohio
1.Mc.Fish(first stop from airpport MIA-
2.Blood and tong sausage from Germany,cologne with raw Onion and Mustard
3.Hotdog with Currysauce,Onion
4.VITA,Herring in wine Sauce
5.Tuna melt-mayonnaise Tuna salad oven baked with Muenster and hot-sauce
axel,Marblue,TreasureBeach,Jamaica
I agree with you on the Bloomin' Onion from Outback. My kids (teens , of course) call it the "poopin' onion", because when they order it we have to go directly home... you get my drift!
You're a slob
Jack in the Box tacos, Fritos, and yes......Dr Pepper!!!
why is it that when you give up a food, only to give in to temptation many years later, that food tastes like crap? although i never ate anything on your menu i indulged in equally sickening things years after giving them up. i couldn't finish them.
I so agree with "On the menu"!!! Love that blooming onion, Rocky Road and French Bread with butter. Mmmm!!! Add a big piece of devils cake and I've died and gone to Heavan.
You are so right about the banana milkshake!!
FFFF, shut up. good thing ohio isn't even the fattest state....idiot.
1) White Castle Cheeseburger (yep sliders baby!!!)
2) Vita – herring in sour cream
3) Smartfood White Cheddar Popcorn
4) Chef Boy-r-dee Cheese Ravioli
5) Lobster Thermidor a Crevette with a mornay sauce served in a provincial manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pate, brandy and with a fried egg on top and spam.
Yes, and after his arteries are clogged to the point of no return he may just need a new heart, but not yours, obviously....
My, aren't you a snarky little thing. Vegan, I take it? Even regular vegetarians get irritated by those little yapping lapdogs.
Did you read the three cans a year part? It's easier (and more fun) to eat responsibly most of the time if you know you can splurge once in a while. Your holier-than-thou tone makes me want a Ho Ho...
Better to be clogged with happiness than self-righteousness over something as largely trivial as food.
Everything in moderation, however much or little it is. Such a simple, simple concept.
bitch much?
Lone ... Yes, everything in moderation, including moderation, which gives you license to occasionally indulge in a fish sandwich and a Dr. Pepper.
I agree about the filet of fish. Heaven on a bun. People who eatly right all the time rarely if ever live forever.
I forgot to mention. If you miss the original taste of dr pepper, before corn syrup, search for Dublin dr Pepper. The original dr. Pepper bottler. They still make it with imperial cane sugar...and yes, they will ship.
Let's see:
1. Cane-sugared Dr Pepper and I'm in.
2. Subway's peanut-butter cookies, only when fresh from the oven.
3. Whitecastles absolutely. (I'm in AZ).
4. Hersey's yes, but my kryptonite is their Kracken bars.
5. Johnny Rocket's onion rings with tons of ranch dressing.
6. KFC "Snackers", just enough for self-indulgant destruction.
7. How could I forget and this really should be #1 on my list: Unagi – for the sushi lovers. I can go broke on that one alone.
Mmmm Unagi!
pb cookies from subway! THE BEST EVER!
100% AGREEE
100% AGREEE on the warm peanut butter cookies! and I love Dr Pepper with Authentic Mexican food.. I dont know why but nothing else does the job
I thought unagi = total state of awareness.
Grew up North with White Castles. Now live in the Sourth with Krystals. I miss my White Castles!!!!!!!!
"Release the Kracken!"
5. Taco Bell Chili Cheese Burritos (formerly known as Chillitos)
4. Cherry Koolaide
3. Jack in the Box Tacos (nasty, yet so yummy)
2. Top Ramen
1. and yes, McDonalds Filet o' Fish. It's Win.
I'm with you on the (nasty) Jack-in-the-box tacos!
Jack in the Box tacos, esp when only the drive thru is still open and you have to shamefully walk thru.
where do you live?!? hmmm at second thought that questions sounds a bit stalkerish.. What I meant to say is what state still sells Chilitos? I love them. Here in Northern California Taco Bell refuses to sell Chilitos anymore!!! Thanks for the memory, I had almost forgotten them :)
I recently moved from MN to northern California and I dearly miss chili cheese burritos. Everything else at Taco Bell is awful, but that perfect chili cheese mixture is delicious!
I live in Minnesota, and I have been addicted to Chilitos/Chili Cheese Burritos for years. I like mine with sour cream AND guacamole. Just kicking them up to the most fattening notch possible. I get cravings for them and send my husband out for some, and I make him get extra so I can heat one up for lunch the next day. Sick!
MMMMM.... Top Ramen!
My sister lives in OK, and they opened a Jack In the Box about 20 miles from her house. You'd have thought she won the lottery! For those of you on Weight Watchers, a Jack In the Box taco is 3 points!
I am originally from MN and when I moved to LA they did not have them! I now live in CT and they don't sell them either!!!! Very sad!
LOL@ "nasty but so yummy", concerning the Jack n the box which we have the commericals in Jacksonville, Fl but no resturants..
Mmmmm: taco bell's chilitos! Yum yum! I'm so guilty!
chilitos! how many people remember that? they are tha bomb!
Check out Alex Jones on food and vaccines recently.
Then decide if being murdered slowly for profit is what you want to do. If you like eating this garbage and wish to live a much shorter life I welcome you to jump off of a cliff right now. Otherwise we need to protest this as it is destroying our lower income families while the elitist social engineers play card games with our lives.
If you don't care you're a pathetic dumbed down sheep that needs to be a victim to believe anything is wrong in their little world.
If you do care then just at least spread the word. The USA and the world are history in the making. What history will we make?
Nah...I'd rather spread the word that whiny people like you suck all the fun out of life, and that the reset of us should do everything we can to ensure your kind don't procreate beyond a managed-herd capacity.
Why must you take yourself so seriously? This article/blurb is a hoot.
I agree with you whole-heartedly. But this article isn't for that. This article is about throwing caution to the wind every once in a rare while and admitting you occasionally enjoy something you know you probably shouldn't.
Life is too short to live on wheat germ and soy based foods! Live your life, and when you die at least you ate something that tasted wonderful and made you smile. I have tried the soy burger, tons of veggies a day diet and yes I lost weight and yes I survived, but none of it made me feel as good as that iced coke on the first hot day of summer did.
I only have that one a year, will it kill me? No. Will it make me happy? Yes.
Will eating McDonald's once a year or even once a season kill you? No. So calm down. Most people know its bad for them that is why its call indulgence and we only do it every once in a while.
I'm vegetarian and your post offends even me. Are you trying to be satiric? That works only when you don't sound like the real thing. And you do sound far too real.
You know how I know you are an idiot? You listen to Alex Jones.
Any argument that boils down to "if you don't agree with me you are dumb" is vapid and ignorable. "Void" is a very apt name for that poster.
You're all correct – I AM AN IDIOT
I don't know who Alex Joes is, but I bet he never had a chocolate milkshake from Chick-Fil-A WITH whipped cream and a cherry on top!!
@ void... are you serious... so you mean to tell us that you don't enjoy something now and again that is not good for you? What is with the name calling? People are not going to take you serious or even think about what you have to say if you call them" a pathetic dumbed down sheep." Not a good way to get your point across!
@Yummy-N-My-Tummy "Life is too short to live on wheat germ and soy based foods!" LOL! Some of us can't live on wheat germ (Celiac Disease) or soy because of food allergies, even if we wanted to :-) My point in saying this is EVEN the stuff that is suppose to be all natural/organic and healthy for us, isn't all the time!
My top 5 indulgences that I AM NOT ashamed to say I love:
1. ICE CREAM most any flavor
2. Soda especially Dr. Pepper and Mountain Dew
3. Tacos (made with soy based meat :-)
4. Fettuccine Alfredo
5. Pizza
I might add that I am a very healthy eater and I exercise..... mom of 4 children... not overweight or anywhere close to it... I also live by everything in moderation... it is when you over do the bad foods is when you get into trouble! Enjoy life, Enjoy great company and eat AWESOME food!!!!
Chili Frito PIe! That will be my history. If I live a couple years less than you, I'll die with a great big chili Frito pie smile on my face! Life is for living, but not forever – enjoy!
Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we shall die!
Wow. Someone needs a hug...or a slice of Cheesecake Factory's Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake, my personal favorite indulgence. For someone who thinks he, or she, is so smart, you don't seem to realize that the second we enter this world, we are slowly on our way out. Relax, be aware of the history going on around you (I am a history teacher, so I preach this all the time), be the change when possible, but for crying out loud, relax a little. This was supposed to be a fun article, and you sir (or m'am) are a serious funsucker to the highest degree!
Guess what? You're still going to die.
Like I said jump off a cliff already. Yes we all die but we deserve to live long lives of focus and creativity. You guys seem to be OK with living short lives of confusion and forced medication. That is fine by me. I'm not advocating population reduction here but if you want to die earlier why not just blow your brains out?
Fine I'm a conspiracy theorist. That's the best "insult" you could ever give me and I'm honored to be willing to actually do some research.
Some folks enjoy their idiocracy.
Oh and if "dumbed down sheep" offends you... you might want to look in to why that is. Anyone that knows about this serious mess will know that doesn't apply to them.
Yes this article is a light hearted way of getting people to admit the way in which they are willing to murder themselves slowly.
Why don't any of you people go find out how to make improvements.. innovate... maybe make better versions of these foods? I have already replicated many indulgences of my own by teaching myself how to cook. I just don't use crap ingredients.
Anyway. Sheep *chuckle * you know who you are.
Void, you might be the most sanctimonious, elitist, arrogant, condescending a*****e I have heard in a long time. Take a chill pill dude. We "deserve" to live life in particular ways? You are a mental case. Truly...you need help.
Your well named Void, as there is surely something missing in your life. My grandfather died at 47 of a heart attack, so his son, my uncle, became an athlete, a marathon runner and denied himself fat and beer and all manner of yummy things.......and died at 48 years of age, of a heart attack. So go ahead and eat like a monk if you like Void. Your days are as numbered as a crack addict. Or enjoy life for a change. Your ivory castle seems somewhat bland. Come roll around in the mud with we peasants. You may die a few months earlier, but you'll love being here on planet earth a lot more. Who's gonna know 100 years from now? LIVE MAN!
@void: what a buzz-kill.
Void. I bet you jump at the chance to be one of your elitist social engineers- you've already got the know-it-all-ness and the snobbery down.
Yeah, you know what happens to vegetarians, vegans and health nuts when hit by a car? The suffer injuries, and some die. Just like carnivores and junk foodies. Go bite a celery stick while this sinks in...
Void: You're likely to die earlier because of your hostility than we are because of our junk food.
Do some research on that, why don't you?
Piss Off. I hope you die.
@void: Rather than using posts as a jumping off point for your predetermined agenda, you might take an adult reading class so you understand articles and posts. Oseland and other posters do not advocate that everyone eat these things, and I can't find anyone who says anything other than eating these things ON OCASSION. Rather than attacking someone for what they didn't even hint at, you try making your own post of special treats YOU eat on occasion.
Funny how with all of the junk food and crap that people eat now, they live almost twice as long as they did when people at a "healthier" diet. The life expectancy 100 years ago was about 45. So take a deep breathe and settle down. A Filet O Fish is nothing to freak out about.
@ void: you are a crappy jerk with tunnel vision. Peace for the people who don't like you! I think I'll have a filet o'fish tomorrow with a dr. pepper and since I'm in Minnesota, a chilito too. Ooooooooooh: that must really chap your hide!
Eat as healthy as you want, but the semi doesn't care when it hits you. Have fun sitting on your moral foodie elitist high ground. It's funny that you complain about the "social engineering" blah blah blah, but yet if you had your way everyone would be an organic micro green eating automaton still under the control of the food system. If you are so concerned, why don't you work on making it so that healthy food is actually affordable?
BAAAAAA!! BBAAAAAA!!!!
Sometimes being a dumb sheep is a good thing.....at least I'm not standing in the corner by myself criticizing everyone that doesn't meet my standards – I'm enjoying my ever shortening life. You sound like a lonely person to me.
My 5 indulgences:
1.) Big Mac hamburgers. Disgusting but oh soo good.
2.) Jack in the Box tacos – best hangover food ever created.
3.) Mountain Dew Code Red. It's like drinking Hawaiian Punch with loads of Caffeine.
4.) Milky Way candy bars.....MMMMMMMM!!!
5.) Taco Bell Enchirito.....nothing like a slimy, but tasty enchilada/burrito/whatever the heck it is.
@Void and to those who care about over-population, etc.
If the world is better off without people, you go first....remember you cut down the road, not across the street, be sure not to jaywalk.
Oh and "sheeple", nice...ever though that YOU are the sheep in this case? Just some "food" for thought....
You guys are a bunch of buttfaces for being mean to me! I think you poopieheads should all burn in H-E-double hockey sticks! How dare you have different opinions than me! You're lucky you're not here because I would beat you up!
Get a grip! This is supposed to be a fun article. So what if one indulges in something not 100% completely healthy. I'd be willing to bet you probably have a guilty food pleasure too.
Poor Void. You're trying to educate the masses and everybody tells you how you're too serious and such a buzzkill.
It's fun to watch :)
@void...you have fun living to be 115 with no eyesight, no hearing, no hair, no friends, and having somebody change your diaper for you. You really want to live forever? I would much rather enjoy myself in moderation during a full and eventful life then to be worried about every calorie I consume or everything I put into my body. Because of medical science I'll probably live into my 80s anyway. You can take the twenty years after that as your body naturally breaks down over time.
"VOID". Your name says it all ...
Void, you must have a life devoid of fun if you take this so seriously! Do you mean to tell the rest of us that you don't have any 'guilty pleasure' foods? Yes, most of us know all about the state of factory food and fast food...and you know, sometimes we just want to enjoy a food that is bad for us. (Hence the term 'guilty pleasure'). As long as we eat good-for-us food 90% of the time, there is no harm in eating the 'guilty pleasure' food 10% of the time; at least that's what a few well-known registered dieticians and nutritionists advise...
My guilty pleasure foods: 1. Hershey's Milk Chocolate with Almonds bar; 2. In N Out burger: dry with extra pickles, extra crispy fries and a root beer or iced tea to wash it down (I only enjoy it when I'm in Vegas or California which means once a year on vacation); 3. A&W root beer float; 4. Snickers Ice Cream bar; and 5. Blue Diamond Smokehouse Almonds
Dublin Dr. Pepper is the best.
That's the stuff with real sugar from the Texas plant, right?
Yep, made with pure cane sugar!
I love those new DARK kettle chips made by Herrs Potato Chips – you know, like they're almost burned.
Those Herr's dark potato chips are good, aren't they? They have an oddly sweet taste.
How about the CANADIAN McChicken?? Yes... it IS different than the U.S. one. The chicken is done somehow uniquely here... it is fried... but not too greasy. Just lettuce and mayo and that fresh bun. In fact the special mayo on it is so popular that you can even get the squeeze packets of it for the fries. Which makes the fries awesome. In fact... why has noone mentioned the McDonald's FRIES?? I bet every one of you look for the stragler in the bottom of the bag!! Ohhhh.... gotta be so bad... but MAN are they good!!
OMG! You are so right, McDonald's fries for the win! I'm pregnant and I craved them. I don't always give in but when I do I inhale those suckers! LOL!
That McD's chicken sandwich USED to be sold here in the States and I miss it soooooo much! It was a perfect guilty pleasure! Maybe I'll have to visit Canada....
Mayo on french fries :) makes me smile because we have a lot of Canadian tourists in N. Michigan and that's the only way I can spot 'em. I had the Irish Poutine at the Irish Embassy in downtown Toronto... the tastiest and greasiest thing I have ever eaten in my life. I'll never order it again but I'll always remember it fondly.
Glenn I think I am in love with you. I never ever eat crappy food. I cook all my meals myself from scratch and from only the best ingredients. But when I do indulge myself I LOVE the Canadian McChicken, with the sauce packets on the side for my fries. And an Ice Tea. I love the bag fries sooooo much that I actually started a Facebook Fan-page called "McDonald's Bag Fries: A Little Piece of Heaven. I'm such a dork I know. I'm really small and can never finish an entire McChicken and fries but even if there are fries left in the box I'll leave those unfinished and look for the bag fries. I don't know what it is about those fries at the bottom of the McDonald's bag but they're sooooo good.
Amen, Kendra! I had to laugh when I read the list because I am a huge fan of the Mickey D's Filet-o-Fish. He described it to a tee. I may have to get one for dinner.
Too many posts to read the whole thread.

Kim, I can't go with you on the SPAM or Little Debbie's brownie journey, but about three or four times a year, i pull the blinds and make me some Hamburger Helper! I am ashamed, but there it is. Does it help that all I ever have in the house to make it with is soy milk? I didn't think so. . .
Ditto to Spam and cosmic brownies!
Not ranked but I love these:
1. Filet o Fish
2. Jack in the Box Tacos

Not sure where you're from, but here in TX we have elote stands all over. which is kinda like your #3, corn, mayo, goat cheese and chili powder in a cup. Try grilled corn on the cob with mayo and chili powder. mmm....so good!

Nobody mentioned:
Hostess SnoBalls: The PINK ONES ONLY, please!
Any deli specialty sandwich with a crazy name: ie, The Bellybuster, The Kitchen Sink, The Gut Crammer, etc: they usually are foot long sandwiches with an oversized crusty roll and have cappicola, salami, ham and hot and sweet peppers, with shredded lettuce,onions and tomatoes on top, dressed with oil, vinegar and oregano....pretty much every deli and specialty deli has one of these.:)
Mr Softee Vanilla Ice Cream cones
Fajitas at McD's: BRING 'EM BACK!!!!
Burger King Whoppers...and I don't care if I have to swim in 'em while I'm eating 'em!
We still sell chicken fajitas at the McD's in Cananda. I work there so I know :D You guys make my little heart warm with love for McDs' even despite how much people say crap about the restaurant. I admit, I hardly eat there although it's my job, and half of the stuff you couldn't pay me to eat, but it's not all bad especially in moderation,.
