my favorite is definetly popcorn, because it is so cheap, and it is mostly air so I don't feel guilty about eating mass quantities of it! Plus it never gets boring because there are so many different kinds! Cheese, White Cheddar Cheese, caramel, etc...
Have a good night everyone!

I know most of you probably won't know what this is but my favorite munchie is hurricane popcorn.

It's regular popcorn mixed with rice arare (kinda like small cracker bits with a soy sauce flavoring) mixed with furikake (bits of roasted seaweed and sesame seeds.

Definitely a local favorite--and I usually have to send a few bags to friends on the mainland when they get the munchies.

Hey there OohteenyWahine,

I lived in Japan for three and 1/2 years and I use to eat something very similar to that...if it's not the same thing. I LOVE the flavor of Soy Sauce so they were so my favorite thing to snack on!!! I haven't thought about them in so long...

Shopgirl, I lived in okinawa, Japan for seven years as a kid. I'm not big on seaweed or sushi though. Even though I've never tried sushi. Never cared for the smell of raw fish. I'd say popcorn is up there on my list and that chex party mix even though its loaded with junk.

I love eating kaki mochi too shopgirl..even though they leave a nasty smell to your breath--that's why I never eat them at the movies.

I also like eating the roasted seaweed that comes in those little packages. The teriyaki kind is definitely my most favorite. I like California roll sushi too!

Two favorite snacks that come to mind: Harvest Cheddar Sun Chips and Chex Mix. I could eat a whole bag of Chex Mix in about 10 minutes.

I also love Combos...I never take a road trip (to school, or whatever) without a bag of Combos and a bottle of Gatorade.

for me, it's all about the E.L. Fudge cookies. I am like a crack whore when it comes to those. My whole family knows about my addiction to them. My mom even used to send them to me in the mail during finals. I have gotten all of my friends addicted to them because when they come over they'll binge on them with me as well.

My other vise is coca-Cola. I could drink 3 liters a day easily, bit limit myself to about 1 1/2 to 2 liters a day. I really am the love slave to Mr. Pibb, but can not get it in my part of Texas, so I settle for coke.

What kind of pop/soda is Mr. Pibb? Is it a cola too? Sorry about my ignorance, but I'm from Canada and never heard of it before now. Thanks!

Mr. Pibb is an off brand imitation soda intended to taste like Dr. Pepper (the other official drink of texas). The tastes are similar, but Mr. Pibb is sweeter, which is why I like it.

PS Don't feel bad about never hearing of it. A lot of people up north have never heard of Dr. Pepper.

Hey Kmullini...

I too lived on Okinawa!!! I lived there from January '89-June '92. I went to Zukeran for three months, Kinser Elementary for three months, then Kubasaki for the rest of the time...basically from the 7th - the 9th grade. When were you there?

I don't like seaweed either. However, I love those popcorn type things with the soy sauce flavor.

Lifesaver...
Mr. Pibb is my favorite too!!!

Thanks for enlightening me about Mr. Pibb. Next time I'm in the USA, I will have to look for it and taste it for myself!

By the way, here's some websites for you Mr. Pibb lovers! http://www.misterpibb.com/ http://bluweb.com/us/chouser/info/pibb/

Sorry...me again.
Do you have "Jones Soda" in the USA?

It is kind of an "off brand", too.

The company is the Urban Juice and Soda company (from Vancouver, my hometown WA-HOO!) and they have a website here: http://www.jonessoda.com/

You can submit photos and they may choose it and put it on their bottles!

They also have unusual names like Whoop A$$ Energy Cola. Check it out!

Jones Soda is awesome. We have it in central Indiana, of course that's not too far south, even though my friends from Michigan and Wisconsin think it is.

Yeah we have Jones Cola. I love it. My favorites are strawberry and green apple. I like white cheddar popcorn the best because it doesn't have too much junk in it.
