Freakout foods: What can't you live without?

Posted on Dec 15th 2007 9:00PM by Bethany Sanders
I was watching TV the other day and saw Burger King's new ad -- The Whopper Freakout. As an experiment, they quit making Whoppers at one particular Burger King and filmed their customers reaction. The commercial is pretty intriguing, especially if Whoppers aren't on your must have list. One woman demands to see the store supervisor, and another man just looks downright sad. The emotional attachment is clear -- two men even brought up their childhoods.

I laughed in disbelief, honestly, the first time I watched it. But then I had to stop and think. I could care less if they stopped making Whoppers tomorrow; I wouldn't even bat an eyelash. But there are foods I'm pretty attached to. And that list of foods is far from sinless. So I was honest with myself, and this is what I came up with. Here's my short list, in no particular order:

1. Apples
2. Hummus
3. Peanut butter cups
4. Red peppers
5. Briannas Poppyseed Dressing

At dinner tonight, I decided to throw the same question at my husband. He didn't hesitate before saying:

1. Salsa
2. Sushi
3. Beer
4. Pizza
5. Beef Jerky

I laughed, and said I wasn't sure whether to share that list with America or not. But, hey, at least he's honest.

So let's hear it, That's Fit readers, what are your "freakout foods?" Are there at least a few healthy items on your list?
