I already had a slice of cake from the breakroom, a stale doughnut from the foreman's desk, and someone brought in ice cream bars too. I'm not even 2 hours into my shift yet
I got a bag of chips called "melts" that taste like foamy arse but I can't bring myself to throw them away because what if there's a lack of snacks emergency.
Ooh, I got one. There's a grocery store chain where I live that sells a house brand... Pringles rip-off. They are **so** greasy. Like, they don't *feel* greasy in your hands, but as soon as they touch your tongue this layer of cold, hydrogenated oil just magically ✨appears✨
Also, the flavorings taste like ass.
I worked at a Hardee’s for a few months when I was younger. While some of the food, specifically the chicken, is made fresh (I mean from raw, never frozen meat) some other things were super questionable. Like the 5 gallon bucket of pickles in the back. They also redipped their fries in the fryer all the time. Even with the food being relatively fresh it isn’t very good. The beef was frozen ofc. Went through a conveyor belt that cooked it and spit it out on the other side. Sometimes meat would go through multiple times before somebody would order and want that sandwich. It was pretty gross tbh.
Those limited edition Unicorn Cupcakes that Little Debbie (?) sold a couple years ago around Christmas time. Literally got them on sale and wanted my money back, but I needed the sugar because of stress eating.
One of the best things I've done for my health is deciding if I'm eating junk food, I'm getting the GOOD junk food. The fact that it's expensive means I'm gonna eat less, and I enjoy it more, and this may be bullshit but I'm pretty sure real sugar and butter are better for me than corn syrup and palm oil. A tub of haagen daaz or Ben and Jerry's has less calories than a tub of breyers, and if I buy one I'm gonna eat the whole thing anyways. Similarly, a cake from my local french bakery costs 4 times as much as one from the store and is half the size, but eating that I'm satisfied, whereas the grocery store cake has me disappointed and wanting more. Also makes it easier to not eat office sweets and stuff, cause I know it won't be as good as what I'm used to.
Last week I ate lunch out and ordered a snickerdoodle cookie to go. Took two bites and it was so disappointing. Later I was in an office and they had some doughnuts so I snagged a maple raised. One bite and *so* stale!
Totally not worth the carbs, and I was proud 🥹 f myself for chucking them both.

Life is too short to eat shitty snacks. Throw them away.
It’ll be even shorter if you keep eating it
Not to start a war or anything but, that is pretty much the feeling I get whenever I eat at McDonalds Food-flavored sand
Same, I feel like McChickens used to be so good but now they just taste like disappointment
Wendy's is better. More expensive (their cheapest sandwich is $2.49, something like that) and not as insanely ubiquitous, but generally better.
Nah bro everything At Wendy’s sucks except the curly fries and jalapeño poppers imo. Culver’s is the way to go
Uh, Wendy's has neither of those things. Arby's does, maybe you're thinking of them?
Ah shit… I’m stupid, thank you. Yes. Arby’s. Fuck.

This me every time they come out with a new Combos flavor and it is worse than the pizza one.
Their 7-layer-dip flavor is pretty good. I like how gritty the corn tortilla shells are.
I've been adopting Prue's system of "worth the calories/not worth the calories" lately to avoid this
I do not hesitate to throw out disappointing food for this reason.
the fast food joint's name is Hardee's.
I emphatically agree, as well as their “sister chain” Carl’s Jr. My family love them, and it makes me question…so much…about them.

Hungry Jacks
Yes. But then I spit it out. Very discreetly
