Let's see- Ring Dings, Yodels, Oreos, Chip Ahoy cookies, Hostess apple pies, Fudgecicles, Popsicles, Hoodsies (I'm dating myself here lol). When I was a teenager I discovered Doritos, loved to down an entire bag washed down with Pepsi. Didn't make me sick either. Now the thought makes my stomach churn lol

My snacks varied depending on availability. When our garden was producing I could not get enough radishes to snack on. When my Mother was not observant it was a healthy, well probably an unhealthy hunk of pepperoni. Liquid creamsicle! A little orange flavored Fix-a-Drink and a large glass of cold milk - liquid creamsicle. However, none of these are disgusting. You want disgusting? My Grandfather would occasionally take me to the Polish Falcons Club and the Slovak Club. On their bars were several jars of snacks such as pickled pig snouts, ears, and feet. The coal miners cherished then. They had great sport trying to get me to eat a bite. Never did! I was happy to provide the laughs but no further. Even though many years later at a Chinese New Years celebration of my own volition I placed a bite of sea cucumber into my mouth. Yes, I was sober. At that moment the pickled pig snout seemed like a delicacy. Ever see a picture of a sea cucumber? You have to believe the first person to eat a sea cucumber at that moment was hungriest person on Earth. How anyone could look at it and think FOOD is beyond me. This was a starvation act.

I have a nephew, brilliant guy, PhD in robotics. He LOVES fluff. When he's visiting his parents, he'll have a (homemade) waffle and put peanut butter on it, then so much fluff on it that you literally can't see that there's a waffle and peanut butter underneath it.

When I was in college, the dining hall had wonderful blue cheese dressing. I'd mix that with ketchup and dip potato chips in it. Not bad in small quantities, but a half-cup or so of that stuff with dinner every night now seems kind of gross.

A large bag of bbq chips, onion dip, a block of pepper jack cheese, and a jar of dill pickles, all washed down by chugging the pickle juice, once landed me in the college health center.

Now I'm hungry.

Love it. A slosh or two of brine I must confess to too.

I’m still Young 23. But I really like Swiss rolls, Nutty Bars are so good, I like to make myself Chip and Cheese put cheese on top of tortilla chips stick it in the microwave for about 30 Seconds so good. I enjoy Doritos I can eat a whole bag of those on my own. A lot of the stuff Little Debbie makes is the bomb. When I was Little My Dad would take Me, My brother, and two sisters to a store that had a lot of hostess treats and he’d let us chose what we’d want. THo Ho’s I loved Ho Ho’s. Hostess Cupcakes were really good also.

Almost as bad...A New York Treat: Pane con Ciccioli

When I met my husband, he told me about this special bread his grandmother used to make as a Christmas treat. Since I’m into baking, I decided to give it a shot. Many years later, I’m still making it every year. At first, only the adults would eat it, but now a lot of the younger ones like it, too.

For the Philadelphia crew, Tastecakes. Max sugar and preservatives.
 
When the topic/question was for "disgusting snacks" why are people posting things they enjoyed? C'mon people.


Raisinettes are disgusting. Alone, raisins are gagging and milk chocolate can't save them.
Razzles were just a poor excuse for gum.
Swiss Rolls and Devil Dogs were hideous. There was also a snack cake with jelly... :shudder:
A candy called Sugar Babies...wha'?
Fudgesicles...shake my head. Gross.
 
Planter’s Cheez Balls.

God I miss those,,,,,

Well young adulthood really. I loved these with a cup of coffee. 4.5 oz of wholesome fat and sugar goodness. Add caffeine and it was an instant jolt of energy.

The teenage mutant ninja turtles ones were the best!

Have you ever seen them made? I was at Silver Dollar City in MO and there was this enormous kettle of hot oil, and this guy tossed in a scoop of small black squares that immediately exploded into pork rinds- wow!
 
I have to put the chocolate covered Oreos in here.

Those were sinfully good
 
In central PA they have the infamous Whoopi Pies. Growing up in Maryland about 5 miles from the PA border I had the wonderful experience of eating those with high test (original sugar content) Mountain Dew when we went to our favorite roadside produce stand/market. I now understand why I was not allowed in the house for an hour or so after we got home.

While I was matriculating in Morgantown the snack of choice was a good greasy pepperoni roll and beer. I'm getting heartburn just thinking about them.
