My Dangerous Addiction
Is it the crunchiness? Or the smoothness? Or is it the combination of the two? What is she talking about? you ask...my dangerous addiction! See it all started a few weeks ago when I went to Walmart. I saw them on the shelf and I started jumping up and and down like a little kid (okay not literally but I was beaming like I won the lotto). I had not eaten them in years and I remembered how good they tasted.I felt like a relapsing alcoholic as I grabbed two big packs of Ritz Handi-Snacks!
I use to get the packs that were glued together and you had to rip them apart to get one. The box I had grabbed was BIG that had 15 snacks inside! And they were not glued together!
I could hardly contain my excitement. My boyfriend was with me and he was just as excited about the discovery as I was since he use to eat these as well. So why are these little snacks dangerous?Because I...can...not...stop...eating...them! They are now beyond addicting and it is getting a little out of hand.
So we get home from Walmart and I had already eaten two in the car. I eat two more and then put the boxes in a cabinet. That night while my boyfriend and I were watching a movie, I fell asleep first. I woke up at 2:00 am and I kid you not, crawled out of bed and went straight to the kitchen. I automatically reached for the cabinet but only saw one box of Ritz inside.
It took me a second to realize that I did not fabricate the box of Ritz on my dresser next to my bed that I had seen when I was climbing out of bed.
I go back to my room and my thoughts were confirmed! My boyfriend must of snuck a box and ate half of it while I was sleeping! How dare he! So I took a Ritz out the box, turned on my little lamp (which shone directly on my boyfriend's face), and I started to eat my handi-snack.
The light woke him up and he angrily mumbled "What the hell are you doing? You're being rude, turn off the light, now!"
While still eating my handi-snack I smugly replied "I'm almost done."
The next morning when we both woke up he glared at me and questioned me on the necessity of turning on the light to eat a Ritz. He asked me why couldn't I be considerate like him explaining that he ate SEVEN Ritz in the dark just so he would not wake me. With a smirk on my face I insisted that I really couldn't see.
When he was leaving he asked me if he could take a box of Ritz with him.
"You already ate just about a whole one," I sarcastically said but reluctantly agreed to let him have the remaining seven from the box he opened.
He then said "Wait, give me two more from the new box!"
My glare made him reply with "Okay, okay never mind".
There is definitely a problem when such a little package of cheese and crackers can cause so much tension between a couple. Such a shame, I know!
It is now mandatory that I have a box (or 2) at all times! It has even gone as far as me hiding (yes, hiding so that no one steals them, AHEM, like my boyfriend!) a box in my miscellaneous drawer next to my bed so I can grab one whenever I please throughout the night.What are some of your "dangerous" addictions?

Amusing! All I got to say is: " Processed food, processed food. "
That's crazy, man.
Whenever there are pickles in my place of residence, I'll eat 3 or 4 or 5 a day. My roommate and I once polished off one of those enormous industrial jars of them in about a week.
It's crazy.
Wow, that's intense. Wouldn't crackers with real sliced cheese taste better? Hmm, well then I guess it wouldn't be very "handi" in that case. Anyway, any half gallon of chocolate, coffee, or mint ice cream in my freezer would definitely be devoured in a few days if not carefully monitored. I don't care much for vanilla, but sometimes I'll purposely get it to slow down its consumption rate :(
the shit they call "food" that they put in them are dangerous as well. if you cant pronounce it, it aint good! processed foods are so horrible..
but, im addicted to slim jims. lol. i splurgee on them.
@Wait_by_Moonlight@xanga - i hear you on the pickles. once after shopping and putting things away, my old roommate dropped the new jar. i was devastated. i picked em up, washed em and put em in the other. i always keep pickle juie around fro cramps and hangovers haha
Oh man! I used to love those things. I haven't had them in so long, must find some now!
OHEMGEE, I USED TO LOVE THOSE AS A KID!! It's exciting enough to deserve caps lock, srsly.
LOL you guys are so cute! But seriously, those are the bomb. I don't know what it is that makes those sweetly buttered saltine crackers and that cheese spread so irresistible!!
tostitos with a hint of lime corn chips with salsa dip

I love those too!
I always get tostitos chips along with their medium queso dip...once I get home from the store, I'll bust open the bag and eat and eat until I run out of dip. It's so tasty and horribly addicting! I don't like to keep the dip in the fridge after opening because I'm terrified my precious queso will get cold and hard, so I eat ALL of it in one or two sittings.
Now that I think about it, I should pick some up after work...
I used to have those in my lunch at school.
Take a good look at my username. Do I really have to say what my addiction is?
Besides the obvious, one of my big addictions is a homemade queso dip I make. One pound of Velveeta, one package of cream cheese, one can of Ro-Tel. Heat in the microwave, stir until everything is melted together, serve with chips or crackers. The easy way I have of controlling this particular obsession is that I don't make it.
That is sooo funny!
I can totally understand this. It was one of my favorite snacks as a kid. Very rarely will my mom come home with cheese and crackers (bootleg one at that), but they go very quickly. If it was Ritz, my god I wouldn't be able to stop haha.XD.
Cute, but seriously, that much is not good <_<;.
LOL... you will probably stop once you start packing on the pounds! I used to like those too. :)
@P0RCELA1N_D0LL@xanga - That combo is my absolute favorite. Gahhhh...
you guys are adorable. just like little kids.
My boyfriend and I were the same way with the tostinos microwavable pizzas...I´d get pissed because he´s always eat like three at once while I liked to savor them...
Funny how food can put a damper on the relationship!
Tip? Buy yours and make him buy his.
M
This is me with Pop Tarts and Chewy Bar "Dips"... the chocolate covered granola bars. :P Terrible thing, because they are not remotely filling, they're gone in a day or two, and they have no nutritional value... shame, shame! So I just refrain from purchasing.
Ramen noodles. They were all I ate for six months one year. And Monster. SO bad for me, but I love the taste.
Walkers crisps! My boyfriend bought a box of 36 packets and I told him "I could eat those all easily". So he told me, "help yourself". 10 minutes and 6 packets later, he had to move the box away from me after realising I really was not kidding.
I have them at least once a day, for either breakfast, lunch or a mid-afternoon snack. Om nom nom, salty, greasy, crunchy crisps. Particularly ready salted or salt and vinegar!
I was really hoping your addiction was eating cactus. But that's ok, cause Ritz crackers are the shit, even without all the shit.
I am SO addicted to Cadbury Mini Eggs, it's a little ridiculous.
