Buy delicious seedless grapes, throw them in the freezer. They become mini frozen pops! Sweet, icy, & soooo good. The best part? It's healthy!

[Commonly known]
Go to Wendy's and buy fries and milkshake. Dip fries in the shake and eat it. Yes, I was just as grossed at first back in college. It's undeniably yummy in an unconventional way. I guess a similar reason why fried ice cream is so good.

Share yours!

I don't think I have any. I have a couple for making unsweetened drinks though. Use concentrated extracts mixed with water to add flavor, but no sugar. Peppermint, anis, and lemon are the ones I've tried so far. 1/2tsp per liter is about the right quantity.

For unsweetened iced tea, use 2 bags of black or green tea(cheap to buy), and 2 bags of expensive flavored tea(Celestial Seasonings are favorites). Bring approximately 2 liters of water to a boil, turn off the heat, and drop the tea bags in. Once it's cooled down(a few hours minimum), put in a 2 liter pitcher and top up with water as necessary. Tastes good without the obnoxious sweetness.

Inject a little vodka in them first and then you've got a real treat! :awe:

i like to pop corn on the stove, much tastier and with just a little seasoning salt it is much healthier than microwaved stuff.

 

[gorcorps]

Shakes at wendys? Get the frostys, unless that's what you meant... in which case shame on you for not knowing the difference

 

[meltdown75]

frozen grapes are gross, and the other thing you mentioned made me gag.

Donut Burgers

Donuts and Ice Cream.

Caramel syrup in place of ketchup/mustard/sauces on a burger.

Ice cream as chip dip.

Obviously these in moderation. I've only had these maybe every 6 months or more, since they are all very fattening.

 

[dfuze]

it's not much, but I like to refridgerate gum, especially in this humid summer it keeps the gum from losing some flavor by partially melting to the wrapper

Pretzels.
But not just any pretzels.
Square.

Dump 1 pound into big ziplock bag with 1/3 jug of corn popping oil.
Add 1 packet powdered ranch. And maybe some garlic powder. Add very little salt. Trust me. Even if you think you like salt its too easy to go overboard, especially with whats already in there.

Now AND THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART, you must leave the bag the fuck alone for 24 hours.
If you used just the right amount of oil, most all of it will be soaked up and the suckers will be dry.
You will now have shorty's awesome pretzels.
Enjoy.

Dip a spoon in Nutella[Hazelnut spread] and then dip spoon into bag of honey bunches of oats[or cereal of your choice] and swirl it around. Put spoon in mouth. Profit!

once every 6 months? wow, I can almost feel my arteries clogging just looking at that stuff :awe:

 

[SlowSpyder]

I put peanut butter on my frosted Pop Tarts. Nomnomnom..

 

[edro]

Refrigerate grilled chicken breasts in ziplock bag with 1/2 bottle of Italian salad dressing the day before you grill them.

This is pretty common knowledge but I'll throw it out there anyways.

Also, I drink water with a splash of fruit drink (lemonade, cranberry juice, etc). The juice is a little too powerful straight, so I dilute it heavily. It makes the juice last a long time and is a good way to drink lots of water.

Great advice! I'll try that.

Yeaa. Delicious. But I have no plans to over indulge and get fat.
The tastes shockingly compliment each other. You can have dinner and desert, at the same time! :awe:

No wonder they were throwing those shakes at Nicholas Cage in the Weatherman.

 

[Jaiguru]

Cookie Dough in the microwave(Preferably sugar). The trick is getting the timing right so it's a little crispy on the outside but still melted on the inside.

 

[LTC8K6]

Put a piece of Hormel pillow pack sliced pepperoni on a nacho cheese Dorito. Shove it in your chops and enjoy.

 

[lxskllr]

Ah, I remember one. Werthers, or butterscotch discs with peppermint discs at the same time. They're both kind of meh by themselves, but delicious when mixed.

That reminds me of chlorine and sodium. Both are not readily consumable but combining them makes salt which (in moderation) is good on just about anything.

Dry pretzels + mustard = a cheap way to replicate the taste of a big chewy fresh baked pretzel...with mustard on it

Cheez-Its + peanut butter to dip them in = delicious

 

[CPA]

not really a snack trick, but a sandwich trick using a snack: Curly cheetos on a turkey (or ham) and cheese sandwich with mayo.

 

[AVAFREAK182]

idk if this counts but i make fry sauce (2 parts mayo, 1 part ketchup) and add a glob of bbq sauce to it and dip like popcorn chick, etc in it

- Bagel with Peanut butter and whipped cream cheese (meal more than a snack)
