What're y'r favourite snacking foods and drinks and to what activities do they go best with? Here're mine:
Coca Cola*/iced tea, and salt & vinegar/dill pickle chips - gaming
pizza and poutine with iced tea all of which I prefer refrigerated - late night action movie time
skittles and lemonade - chick flicks (which I watch regularly)
grill cheese and spaghetti sammich with chocolate milk - watching someone play games, and for RPGs with my bro.
There is probably more to come
*it would be Pepsi Blue if they still fucking sold it.

Onna these days, I'm gonna eat myself some Poutine. Because that shit sounds like everything correct in the world. Onna these days.
Hmmm, snacks. That's a hard one. My favoritest of snacks are grainy things. I love having a slice of straight up homemade sourdough bread, or a nice fridge-cooled biscuit. They're pretty filling, they have a lovely solid texture to them, and they aren't too sweet or too salty. But these are not common things to be had, unfortunately.
Soft Pretzels are also damn fine, particularly the homemade sort. But they tend to get frozen, so heating them is a pain. My grandma has an absolutely kickin' recipe for them, and now I gotta bother her to make some.
I like confectionaries as well, but let to my own designs, I tend more toward breads than sweets. But among sweets, I am fond of just about anything that has chocolate or is cakey. Cookies are nice too.
Drinkwise, I bounce between a lot of things. I like hot tea, which isn't too common in Americastan, alas, and am proud to have a good stove kettle. I like non-standard soft drinks; anything not a cola. Vanilla Cream Soda and Root Beer are especially esteemed. I like apple juice every now and again. I am also fond of energy drinks, because they taste so damned weird, but those are expense as hell, so I only get them as gifts sometimes.

Chocolate.
And potato chips.
And anything crunchy that goes well with beer.

Energy drinks taste weird indeed. Very interesting taste, but those things are worse than death. Poison, they are. Not just that, but they hate your teeth. They're some of the worst things you can feed to your poor teeth. Energy drinks grind those puppies down like sand paper to birch. Not only that. Drinking that stuff equals drinking piss. Cow piss. Taurine is usually advertised with big letters right on the bottle. Sounds fancy and all, but it's actually short for "Taurus urine."  |

Captain - Poutine is AWESOME, but it needs to be made right. The cheese has to be melted just enough, and the gravy has to be perfect.

Large bag of Doritos topped with mozzarella and salsa, after it's been nuked.
Toblerone - if i could shove more honey in it i would.
Pizza - meat lovers, grab two slices, squash them together so that the toppings end up the innards of one of the greatest sandwiches ever after you've pressed it in a hot sandwich maker !
Yeah baby.

I'm eating healthier these days, so my present snack-addiction is frozen grapes. They help kill my rampant sweet tooth, are generally yummy, and take a nice long time to eat. I'll pop 'em while surfing the net, gaming, or whatever other semi-stationary activity I get up to.
Drink of choice? Screw health in this regard. Coffee. With enough sweetener and creamer so as to render it indistinguishable from a frothy milkshake.

Snack of choice:
x2 Teriyaki Beef Jerky
x1 Powerade
I get those at work, whenever I have a lunch break (or immediately following a cigarette break so I can eat and work)...

Another good drink of choice: Buttershots. Good on Ice Cream. Good straight. The perfect drink when you want to unload after a hard day's work.

I love ice cold chocolate milk! Reese's cookies go well with it too. That's mainly for Mario Kart 64 nights that we have on the weekends.
Double Stuf Oreos with chocolate creme are great, and I also like sweet tea.
For salty snacks I like pickles, cheese, and jalapeno potato chips, I can't think of anything else right now.
I don't usually snack anymore when I play games alone.
If I go somewhere to eat, it's usually some place where I can get a hamburger with a lot of stuff on it and a milkshake. Or the Chinese buffet down the street.

I'm not really into sweets myself. I get a bit of joking from my family for it. They'll offer me ice cream and I'll decline most of the time because I don't like it much at all!
When I do snack I just have an apple and maybe some crackers. Usually just the apple.
As for drinks, it's mostly water for me all the time. If I ever feel the need for something stronger I'll get some good old black coffee.
No sugar.
No cream.
Final destination.

I drink a large black coffee every few hours. It's like three a day.  I'm afraid it's gonna get to the point where I wake up in the middle of the night and crave one. But yeah, it's a good vice if you need to compensate for giving up other ones. |

I find myself downing 3 coffees before the first bird wakes up - but I'm off sugar... used to have heaps of sugar in my coffee.

I super snack while at work so I gained a mighty few pounds within the past few months. --; I usually eat soda crackers or those yummy Arrowroot biscuits (for babies ^^). Sometimes I go and check out the snack machine and get chips or chocolate. :/ My choice of drink at work is mostly hot to warm water, coffee or black tea (either just black or with sugar or with sugar and milk). I might also get some hot chocolate too! When I'm at home and doing stuff online or playing games, I drink water but don't really have any munchies. I do not eat cookies or crackers while at home. ^^ But you know, if there's yogurt in the fridge, I'd go for that. Occasionally, I'd go get an orange or apple. Actually, I'm eating a green apple right now! :D Heh, I do that. All the time. Then I got banned from using the coffee machine. Now I make instant. 14-year-olds shouldn't be drinking coffee!!!! It ... it just doesn't seem right. :\ |

I dunno, I started on coffee when I was 16 or so. I'm thinking of having a cup right now, to fight this fatigue. >.O" Sooo damn tired. I was awake long enough to watch Narnia 2, but I've been ready to nod off since before the movie started.

One time I purposely drank too much coffee in a day for the experience. I was twitchy all day, had a massive headache and stomachache. Never again! My choice of drink at work is mostly hot to warm water, coffee or black tea (either just black or with sugar or with sugar and milk). I might also get some hot chocolate too! Actually, I'm eating a green apple right now!  Heh, I do that. All the time. Then I got banned from using the coffee machine. Now I make instant. 14-year-olds shouldn't be drinking coffee!!!! It ... it just doesn't seem right. :\ Hot water?  I've never heard of anyone drinking hot water. Room temperature, yeah but not hot. Is it cold where you work? |
