Best cure for the munchies?
We all know that a certain plant, when consumed, causes a person to want to eat everything within reach or in the house, regardless of freshness, quality, etc.

So, what's your cure for these gastric cravings?

I need to eat Mounds Bars and Oreo Cookie Klondike Bars.

or a Kit Kat bar. I loves me some chocolate and whatever it is that makes the crunchy noise.

3. There is no cure.
Succumb to the temptation and eat everything in sight.

4. Ghiradelli brownies are THE best, hands down, none OTHER are better
out of a box.

Once you've had ghiradelli brownies, you will never EVER make them nasty duncan hines or betty crocker pieces of brown crap again.

Trust me.

19. Radwriter's right
I won't even eat brownies people bring in to work now, because they taste like sweetened cardboard after you've gotten used to the Ghiradelli brownies.

7. Chia seeds
Edited on Tue Nov-18-03 05:31 PM by Mountainman
This isn't the time of year to gather them, but they can be eaten and have nutritional value and few calories. They expand in water and make you feel full when you eat them.

Native Americans in this area, the lower Sierra Nevada Mountains could travel on foot for days and only take chia seeds and water.

16. If you have schwag
you can always eat the seeds from the bag. Fry em up like pumpkin seeds. They're extremely good for you, and no, they don't cause infertility like the drug warriors claim.

22. Twinkies are made of partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil which has
a shelf life of TWELVE YEARS.

The twinkies you're eating could be 5-10 years old.

Go figure.

21. You should know better than to do that plant.
It is very fattening. Makes you want to eat everything in sight. Just order a huge pizza. I think that should do the trick.
