Everyone’s got a food they’re a bottomless pit for. Once they start in on it, it’s practically impossible to stop. Sometimes they have to literally force themselves to set it down, get up, and put it away. Following are 15 foods that a lot of people just can’t get enough of.
Chips and Salsa
They’re addictive enough at home, but have you ever been to a Mexican restaurant and eaten so much of them that by the time your meal arrives, you’re full? At least you got a to-go meal out of it.
Nachos
Like chips and salsa, chips with hot melted cheese are downright addicting. Even the ones you get at convenience stores can sometimes really hit the spot.
Tacos
Tacos are the perfect size for wolfing down quickly and eating more and more before your body knows it’s full. But at least you can claim they’re good for you because of the veggies.
French Fries
Plain and salted, covered in cheese, dipped in ketchup– it doesn’t matter; a lot of people just can’t get enough of fries. Another plus is that most of the time, they’re pretty cheap and you get a lot of them.
Potato Chips
Maybe it’s the salt or other seasonings. Maybe it’s the crispiness or the crunch. Whatever it is, you can be more than halfway through a freshly opened bag before you even know it.
Doritos and Cheetos
For many people, each bite of these snack foods just seems to make them hungrier. And then there’s the cheese residue to lick off your fingers. Not the greatest manners, but still so good.
Homemade Mac and Cheese
Let’s be honest: even a lot of store-bought mac and cheese will have you scooping to the bottom of the pot. But if you know someone who makes a great homemade mac and cheese, stay on good terms always!
Pizza
When it comes to “desert island” foods– what you would choose if you could only eat one thing– pizza often tops people’s lists. And with all the varieties out there, pizza never gets boring.
Lasagna
Unlike some of the other foods on this list, lasagna can fill you up fast, as it’s a truly hearty dish. That still doesn’t stop people from going back to the pan and getting more. It’s just that good.
Dinner Bread
Good-quality bread fresh from the oven served with soft butter or olive oil for dipping is a lot like chips and salsa. Before you know it, you don’t have much room left for your entree. Here’s hoping you like leftovers!
Fresh Fruit
With this one, at least you can legitimately claim that it’s good for you! If you’re at a breakfast or lunch buffet, you can enjoy multiple guilt-free trips back to the fruit bar.
Ice Cream
Everyone knows you shouldn’t eat a lot of ice cream. That doesn’t stop too many people, though, because it’s just so good. Something no one has ever done: pulling out a pint after dinner to have just one spoonful for dessert.
Chicken Wings
They’re incredibly tasty, and since there’s not all that much meat on them, you can eat a lot before getting even close to feeling full. It’s no wonder they often are served in huge buckets but end up as a pile of bones picked clean.
Popcorn
Popcorn is more nutritious than you might think, but it’s also so light that you can gobble it down while never getting a signal that the pit down there has had enough. Add some movie theater butter and you don’t even have a chance.
Double Stuff Oreos
The question isn’t how many you can eat; many people have ruefully (or delightfully) discovered they can put a whole bag away in a single day (or less). No, the only question is whether you eat them as they are or if you remove one of the wafers and scrape the creme off with your teeth. See what else people wouldn’t stop eating if they only could!
