This week we are sharing our favorite things to eat and drink while reading. I'll be honest and admit I don't really have a go-to choice when reading but I will try to share some favorites.
I am obsessed with these things. Until last year I could only find them at Easter, but then they got smart and started selling them all year round. Definitely my favorite snack candy.
I don't drink plain water much so these flavored packets are a lifesaver. Since cutting out almost ALL soda last year, I'm always searching for new flavors.
I love Iced Coffee all year round.
What can I say, sometimes you need something stronger. Nothing like a Corona with Lime.
Remember when I said I cut out almost ALL soda. Well, now you know the exception to that rule.
So there you have it, candy and beverages. It's just too messy to eat a lot of foods when reading.
Haha, I'm a simple snacker, I just like to settle in with some chips (while eating very carefully to make sure I don't get my book dirty!) and my usual Coke Zero or a cup of earl grey tea. Though you've inspired me to make an iced coffee, mmm one would hit the spot right now!

Chips are always good and yes, you deserve an iced coffee - hope you had one. BTW I just discovered some awesome sweet potato chips with honey and cinnamon.
DeleteI would love the kiwi strawberry water here!! I am terrible at keeping up my water intake.
ReplyDeleteIt's so refreshing. If it wasn't for flavor packs, I'd never drink water.
DeleteBig yes to ice coffee! I don't really eat a lot while reading, but I love having ice tea or coffee handy😁
ReplyDeleteI really don't either. I usually don't think food and books mix.
DeleteI like your choices--especially your beverages!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jan!
DeleteThose chewy nerds look really good. I'll have to see if I can find them in Ontario.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT.
They are. They are like a jellybean with a hard NERD outside.
DeleteThose nerds look AWESOME!! I'll have to look for them!
ReplyDeleteHope you find them!
Deletegreat variety and that corona looks might good. isn't it five oclock somewhere?
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental
It's ALWAYS 5 o'clock somewhere :)
DeleteI usually drink coffee or green tea when i read. I will have to look for those NERDS candies!!! I love regular NERDS,
ReplyDeleteThat candy is addictive I tell you. I get mine at Walmart in larger bags by the checkouts. Green tea is good as well - especially cold!
DeleteCoffee is my favorite. I even drink it before bed which probably isn't the best habit. I also like home brewed ice tea. I've never seen chewy Nerds before now! I love black licorice and Trader joe's dark chocolate peanut butter cups.
ReplyDeleteAh, I have put so much caffeine in my body over the years I don't think any amount could keep me awake. Of course, I've also been taking 2 Benadryl at bedtime for years - maybe that's the issue.
DeleteSoda is so hard to give up! I tried to give it up, but I love it too much, so now I only drink it on holidays.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
It is hard. And sometimes I crave it so bad, especially when driving during work, but I know one Cherry Coke or Dr. Pepper could spiral me back on to it - it's happened twice before.
DeleteCrystal Light is so refreshing, especially when it's hot.
ReplyDeleteI fully agree.
DeleteOMG My husband absolutely loves Jack and Coke! That's his go to drink whenever we go out.
ReplyDeleteThat's where my love came from too. For years he tried to convince me it was THE drink and I didn't listen. Then I finally did.
DeleteTalk about variety! What a mixed bag of food and drink. Very fun!
ReplyDeleteYea, quite a variety. Makes me look like I'm a lush with a candy problem - so not true :)
DeleteUnless I am eating lunch or supper while reading I don't really eat anything while I read and I pretty much only drink coffee or water. :)
ReplyDeleteI honestly wished that was what I drank most of the time but nope, we all have bad habits right?
DeleteOoh...Chewy Nerds look like fun. I like roasted peanuts or white cheddar popcorn myself. :)
ReplyDeleteWhite Cheddar Popcorn - YES!
DeleteHaha, yes, totally acceptable to drink soda when it's mixed with alcohol!
ReplyDeleteI think so too :)
DeleteCorona *nods* sometimes that just hits the spot. I still drink a lot of soda even though I should give it up too. I'm addicted. :)
ReplyDeleteSoda is so hard to give up. And it does actually make you eat more. I didn't believe it until I saw the proof.
DeleteI don't think that I have heard of chewy nerds before.
ReplyDeletePS - I am going to try to get a pic of the puppy this week. She has entered that phase where she doesn't sit still so she looks like a ghost dog in pictures :) I am going to work on it though.
Yay for puppy pics and you have to try Chewy Nerds. Cass has been known to eat an occasional one as well - don't tell.
DeleteA nice bag of sweets or crisps or cheesy biscuits and I'm happy. I like Pepsi or Lucozade Pink Lemonade! I can't drink alcohol because of medication but I always loved a cold beer, a gin and bitter lemon or a long vodka!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of that Pink Lemonade. Sometimes on a hot day a beer is just what is needed.
DeleteSeeing the Jack and Coke made me crave a Captain and Coke! :-D
ReplyDeleteThen I think you should find a reason to have one!
DeleteGood old Jack and Coke! Yum. That's a very Heavy Metal drink, ha ha. \m/
ReplyDeleteI will have to look for those chewy Nerds for my son's Halloween caldron, or his Yule stocking. 🍬✨
It is. I used to attend a lot of concerts when in high school and college and I recall Van Halen having a BIG affinity to Jack. I was at the side if the stage and during guitar and drum riffs they would take turns going behind the giant speakers and swigging from the bottle.
DeleteOh yes, Iced Coffee - I love it.
ReplyDeleteLylnn :D
Me too - especially with vanilla.
Deleteoh wow other than my dad you are the only other person I know that drinks whiskey with coca cola! :) and yes.. Nothing like a Corona with Lime! I also like them on ice with lime AND salt :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely need lime with Corona!
