Honey roasted cashews from the bag are top tier. Just tip the packet, no need to fuck up your fingers with gunk. That and coffee are my go-tos.

In moderation I don't think they're too bad for you. Probably better for you than the overly salted peanuts that a lot of people eat.

I never put two and two together like that. But I use to wear all blue & pretend I was Sonic The Hedgehog. The best food to eat while gaming is Pizza, especially if you're playing a Ninja Turtles game.

i used to take a hardboiled egg and pretend i was yoshi. then i would put it in my underwear and walk around a bit. eventually id "lay" the egg by pulling my tighty whites away just enough so the egg would fall out of my underwear. then id crack it and eat it. when my mom did wash shed ask why there was eggshells in my underwear

I used to go down to the creek and catch turtles and then throw them out of the backseat car windows at other cars and pretend I was in Mario kart. I would have felt bad for the turtles, but I just reminded myself that they were koopas and they deserved it!

I actually cooked some chili dogs from the recipe in the old-school sonic comic books for my 30th birthday and I had onion rings on the side, I felt really clever. Please don't bully.

The chili was actually really bland.
But to be fair, I didn't follow the instructions exactly because my family insisted the chili be cooked in a slow cooker for a day, and it was sabotaged with stuff not on the list when I wasn't looking.

It wasn't terrible but for the time it took it made for a disappointing birthday meal. The re-heated leftovers were better than the fresh out of the pot chili somehow.

omfg dude PB snacks from the 80s/90s were better in general. Nowadays its all cut to hell and back with lecithin, wax and corn syrup. I actually make my own with the ingredient lists from back then. %1001 better.

I used to eat fruity pebbles whenever Id play Sonic 3, because I thought the pebbles looked sorta like the foliage and background colors of the first level.

Now whenever I smell fruity pebbles I instinctively think of Sonic 3

When I was a kid, my dad got me this Sonic toy that had little blue berry flavored gum that was stored in his belly.

For some reason, I thought that was really cool - So I'd chew bubble gum and then stick it in my belly button "for luck" when playing Sonic 2.

Also, I always think of belly button lint whenever I smell blue berry candy now

Vividly remember me and my little brothers only playing as whatever character in Smash Bros. appeared on our Hi-C cartons. Weirdly can't find any pics of those nintendo Hi-Cs, just a reference in this forum: https://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=3396.0

Some things taste better when they've had time to let the flavor settle in.

One of my earliest vidya related memories is coming home from kindergarten; my mom bought me cheesy snacks and when I got home I went to play Mario World. I used to think the ramp looked like a watermelon slice, ha ha.

Well I do have the Arcade version of TMNT, as well as TMNT Turtles In Time Re-Shelled for my Xbox 360. But if we're talking retro here, I'd go with TMNT Hyperstone Heist for the Sega Genesis.

As for pizza toppings, I'd go with Supreme. If I were to pick a brand of Pizza, it's Screamin' Sicilian, but if we're talking restaurants, I'd go with my local pizza restaurant(Pizza At The Wharf) or if I were to choose a franchise restaurant, it's Jet's Pizza.

I stopped eating almost all junk food in general. Stuff just doesn't taste the same to me anymore and there's obviously no health benefit so why bother? I don't know if it's something that came with age or whatever, I'm 29 now. I still like candy a lot though.

That's a fairly good recipe. Unsure about the addition of bbq sauce because there's so much variance between them(maybe not at the time because you were either rich and could afford KC Masterpiece or you weren't and had Open Pit). Still, I'd probably just do more tomato base and add brown sugar, molasses or cider vinegar as needed if I wanted those flavors but it's a simple recipe for a mom who works and has to feed her kids and husband, better than some leftover casserole bullshit. But really? Beans on a chili dog. Not even trying to start the beans in chili argument but beans on a hot dog sounds less than ideal because of the texture but it could be okay if they weren't overloaded. I'd definitely add more chilies to it, personally.
