What's Your PC Snack?

What snack do you eat/drink (or are currently eating/drinking) at your pc?

Me: Tostitos Hint of Lime Corn Chips + Tostitos Fire Salsa = EPIC WIN! :P

Either that or Twix + Dr. Pepper.

I usually drink Coca Cola but occasionally Dr. Pepper. Rarely any other drink. Because greasy fingers don't go well with games or even just surfing, I usually don't eat but occasionally I'll have Cheeze-Its. I've been known to eat barbeque potato chips at the PC but just a few because I have to wipe my fingers so often.

Are you obsessive-compulsive about greasy fingers and gaming too!? I especially hate it when my greasy handed friends get my XB360 controllers all greasy.

Same Here!!! I Love Coke And Despise Grease!!! If my mouse is at all slimy I go cleaning crazy until its dryer than the driest desert. If there is one thing I can't stand its using a slimy mouse.

I'm not proud. If I bought it at the supermarket, I'll eat it by my computer.

If I do eat rice at my PC, (Gr8 energy if I do say so myself), I make sure to put it in my new rice steamer so that it will not get water everywhere. It'll just stick to the keyboard, unlike boiled rice, which has so much water in it if it gets crushed by a key, it will short the thing.

I think it's time to reinvent the feedbag for computer users. Let's grab a page out of animal husbandry's book and strap our snacks to our faces. Spill proof, short proof, and even stylish it could be.

For instance, an Nvidia feedbag, to be given away with the purchase of a GT8800 Video Card. Not only would Nvidia receive advertising space on every geek's face, but the concept could be expanded to other slogans, products, and sentiments as well. Mad at a particular manufacturer? Then don't wear their feedbag! Of course if it caught on, Tommy Hilfiger would claim it was his idea, then jack up the prices and we would all suffer.

Once in a while an astounding idea like this comes to me, but sadly, they're never there when I need them. Like say, April Frst.

Well, actually, I drain the water/broth/death serum after the noodles soak a bit. So I don't short the keyboard...Again...

But noodles can be sloppy with little splashes of liquid (despite being drained) that can hit the keyboard, mouse or even the monitor. You can probably control yourself but I can't help myself sometimes. Knowing my limits, I keep away from my PC when eating that kind of food.
