Top 10 Drinks and Snacks of Gaming

Share
What obesity epidemic? Oh, the one in our country? Well, this article isn't going to help a lot. I'm going to combine eating and gaming to compile a list for you, the reader, on the greatest foods you can have while raiding with your guild, or soloing some boars.


10. Energy Drinks
Only 100k more exp 'til that next level. You've been up for 24 hours already, what is a gamer to do? How else are you going to squeeze an extra 2 hours out of your already beaten body? Energy drinks to the rescue! Delicious, tons of different flavors to choose from, and different levels of energy. Everyone has a favorite (Full Throttle for this writer). So what are you waiting for? Chug!


9. Beer
What goes up, must come down. Sure, drinking a few too many could put an end to your gaming night, but how else are you going to grind the same dungeon over and over? Sometimes a little alcohol makes it a bit better. Much like its brother the energy drink, there is a beer out there for everyone! And it's cheap, too. $1.70 for 40 delicious ounces of beer? I'll drink to that.


8. Peanut Butter and Waffles
Peanut butter is packed full of protein to help you keep your already healthy gaming physique in shape. Waffles are packed with carbs.. I think you see where I'm going with this one. Combine them! Do it! For the love of God, please. A lot of funny looks for this treat, but once you try it, you're hooked. I've been on the stuff for about 9 years now. What are you waiting for?


7. Reese's Big Cup
Why mess with two Reese's when you can just stuff one huge one down your throat? Go on, grab that big 'ol thing and choke it down. The less time you spend staring at your food, the less time that noob who pks the afk folks has to whittle down your health bar. Oh, and they are freaking amazing! It's like being bitch slapped by deliciousness.


6. McDonald's Dollar Menu
New games aren't cheap and preparing a meal takes time that you could be spending lvling up that hunter. Luckily, someone had the bright idea to use more kangaroo meat in the McDonald's hamburger formula to make them cheaper. Seriously, how else are you going to get a double cheeseburger for a dollar? Now, everyone is doing the value menu, but McDonald's is the originator and sometimes it's hard to beat the original. Fast food = faster lvling.


5. White Castle
Holy crap. I had White Castle not too long ago for the first time. They are these little, grease soaked hamburgers and, I don't know why, but they are so delicious. They are also cheap as sin! The onion rings are amazing, and so are the chicken rings. The menu is pretty simple, but they do it damn well. Also, the place never closes, so, no matter what time it is, the Castle is always open.


4. Cashews. Hell, Nuts in General.
A great hand held snack, and they're fancy. So, class it up a little and grab a big 'ol handful of nuts. Feel like a rich kid for a minute and savor those nuts. Even if cashews aren't your thing, there is a nut for everyone. Cashews remain my number one, along with the honey roasted peanuts. They're a bit pricey, so this is definitely for your premium snacking night.


3. Ferrero Rocher
Another premium snack. There is just something about this candy that makes them addicting. It has everything you could ask for in a candy: Chocolate? Check. Crispy bits? Check. Gooey center? Check. Hazel nut in the middle? Check. These are a bit on the pricey side, too, so you might wanna stash them for personal use only.

Or.. you could try to break a world record with them.



2. Beef Jerky
Beef Jerky is heaven in a bag. Tender and savory, this snack knows how to set off all those little pleasure sensors inside your brain. Imagine biting into a piece of your favorite jerky while getting that rare drop you've been farming for months. You might just explode in pure ecstasy. If not, you're at least munching on the most awesome snack on earth. All hail beef jerky!


1. Taco Bell
Yes, Taco Bell. Surprised? You shouldn't be. They took the dollar menu, and drop kicked it. Some items are only 79 cents. And each of these items are f'ing amazing, cheesey, and just pure bliss in a soft shell. You can go in with 5 bucks, get full, and even bring home a doggy bag for later. Another bonus? Baja Blast! A Taco Bell exclusive, it's rumored that scientists invented it for the sole purpose of making your Taco Bell experience ten times better.

So, there you have it. This is my list of the top 10 drinks and foods of gaming! What are yours?
