Flaming hot cheetos, but if I am gaming I'll eat them with chopsticks. Also Ritz crackers and some Merkts Sharp Cheddar or if you aren't a snob some of that Easy Cheese in a can.

Anyone who claims diet soda is good is trash.
My favorite gaming snack of choice is Old Crow whiskey and some lime sparkling water.

I agree with diet soda comment. My only exception is Diet Coke - not because it's good, and I can't have it often or else the rule applies, but on rare occassions it reminds me of my grandmother who babysat me from ages 3 to 5, forever ingraining that, fudgecicles, potato straws, and crunchy cheetos into nostalgia hall of fame.
While I've never had Old Crow whiskey, I converted Old Crow from Mice and Mystics to Heroscape and it was a fun scenario.
Referring to Koushirou's quote, I read your comment as cleaning up literal shit and it made sense for luls.

I gave up soda (so far) this year, when I did drink it I found I liked Dt. Mt. Dew more than regular. It was that or Diet Dr. Pepper as the true diet standouts with Coke Zero up there too.
All others, yes, are trash.

I agree on Diet Mt. Dew and Diet Dr. Pepper. I could never find a diet cola I liked though. Another good option though is Diet A&W Root Beer.

Diet colas I can never get into, either, except Diet Cherry Pepsi, but it's obviously got nothing on the regular. Diet Dr Pepper is usually my go-to for sodas (other than Fresca). Diet ginger ales I don't mind too much either since the flavor still stays strong and kind of covers up the diet feel. Lemon-limeish drinks seem to not fare too badly on the diet side, I've found.

i really wish more diet soda was sweetened with sucralose+acesulfame. most of the rest of the beverage industry has switched to that artificial sweetener combo for their low calorie drinks, because it really does taste a lot better. idk why they don't switch the classic diet sodas to it -- maybe too many people have been lying to themselves for years, telling themselves that aspartame tastes good, and now when they're given actual good sweeteners in taste tests it doesn't taste "right" to them?
aspartame tastes straight up bitter to me anymore.

During my bros hardcore EQ raiding days he would get a big bag of cheesy poofs and instead of ruining his mouse/keyboard he would use a wooden skewer like you would for fondue and eat them. Pretty legit. I personally don't "snack" as much as I just take like 5 minutes and pound as much fucking real food as I can and then get back to it.
Diet sodas don't have the sharpness to their sweet taste, but there are definitely very good ones. Diet Dr. Pepper/Coke Zero/Diet Mt. Dew as have been said are amazing. I prefer Coke Zero to any other Coke honestly. A lot of the weirder types of sodas like gingerale and such aren't too bad, but I'd say REAL cream soda and diet cream soda have the biggest gap.
I'd say Diet Dr. Pepper is the king of diets though. Coke Zero closely follows.

Soda is my addiction, and I've tried to go Diet so many times, and it's really really hard. However, I've found that Diet Coke, and Fresca are 2 sodas that I can drink on the regular and be ok with. Has to be the right kind of Diet Coke. Either the 12oz cans, or bottles, otherwise it goes down hill so damn quick. To me, even Diet Coke from a fountain machine isn't that great.
As far Diet Dr Pepper and Diet Mtn Dew, both are disgusting, but that could be due to me remembering how damn good the ice cold 12oz can of each tastes?
