Alright mine is pepsi and maybe some chips. But there are sometimes when i just cant get away from the tube to get someting. Back in my younger years I had my games and a huge ice chest full of good old junk food.
What do you all do for game snacks?
Does anyone have any unique techniques on eatting and playing games at the same time?

I mix equal parts of beer and lard in an airtight canister with a hose / spiked nozzle assemblege. If you shake it up, the carbonation in the beer will force the mixture through the tube, and directly into my veins, allowing for hands free snacking, which is critical during any heavy gaming session.

Cool Ranch Doritos. Oddly, the only time I'll eat these is when I'm playing a game. Any other time, they're just not appetizing.
And to drink, whateve "sports drink" the local Wawa express has that week. I think I've tried just about every one. Not the uber-caffeine drinks, but the various super-Gatorade-type and flavored water drinks that seem to be popping up all over the place. Every time I'm there, I think there's a new brand.

Way back when it was Zelda cereal but now it's Gameboy Advanced gummi candies. What? Oh, that's not what you meant?
Well then, Mt. Dew & Cool Ranch Doritoes. It used to be the Cheese ones, but I got sick of 'em. After yesterday's recent events, I'm thinking it might be Smirnoff Ice from now on though.

Recently? Sunchips, as they're the best "snack food" for my current diet and excercise program.
When with friends, pizza rolls or chips and salsa used ot be a tradition.

I have to be good with my unsaturated fat (don't we all over 20? :( ) So it's been reduced fat wheat thins and reduced fat Cheez-it's, and tons of popsicles (But you can't really eat a popsicle while playing)
Edit - I could care less about my weight, it's the cholesterol that's gonna kill me.

It used to be a 64 oz Coke and a Mrs. Fields chocolate chip cookie. But since my metabolism has stopped working I usually won't have more than a small soda!

@Achika, Zelda cereal huh, I wonder if there are any unopened boxes of these floating around...it would be nasty as hell to eat, but nice to have to collect:)

Kleenex...
um, no wait...I've been getting over a cold recently.
I don't eat at the PC or VG console much at all, but I admit eating various snack type things near it on occasion.

I can snack during slow games and RPGs at least when on my PS2 due to my new 1-handed controller :) I can eat and play Deception III at the same time, along with any turn-based games. Otherwise, no chance.
I tend to snack on wheat crackers and drink diet cola or vitamin water.

What do you all do for game snacks?
Usually either a 12-pack of Cherry Coke and Pizza-flavored Pringles, or a box of Big Pouch Capri Suns (Dragonfruit forever!) and a nice bowl of Mac+Cheese.

Whatever's around really. Usually just water or Diet Canada Dry, and anything I can scrounge up to snack on which usually isn't much. I don't eat while playing console games but I'm a snackin machine when I play CS. Have to have something to do between rounds on days I suck.

I usually don't snack and play at the same time. But when I do, I have some Wheat Thins, since their the only thing I like that won't dirty up the controller. Maybe a nice cool Pepsi with it, or just water.

Boy, the results of this thread explain what that yellowy-reddish-black crud is on the inside of every controller I've taken apart.

Don't usually eat while I play, I hate messy controllers. The only exception is RPG's, which I have a one handed controller for. Snack of choice in that case is Newman's pretzels and vanilla coke.

I'm pretty obsessive about keeping my stuff (gaming or otherwise) in very clean condition at all times. So, no eating or drinking goes on during gaming, with a possible exception of the occasional glass of water. In fact, I've been known to intentionally wash my hands before any gaming, even if I haven't left the house all day. Sad, eh?

I hereby dub this topic... HOT!!!
I like pastries and milk. This is especially true when I'm playing games that require my undivided attention. A sugar surge is just what the doctor ordered!

In the days in which my heart would not skip beats, I had a dedicated "game fridge" with nothing but cans of mountain dew in it.......I now resort to plain old pepsi with some pizza on the side.......the ultra combo!!!!!

used to be Camel Lights and a 12 pack of Labatt Ice.
Now, it's Popcorn and Diet Code Red.

Hands are usually to busy to eat with, but I always have a can of coke, Yoo-hoo, or Hawaiin punch sitting next to me. And I went a step further than the gaming fridge. I have my own soda machine.

I used to eat alot of cereal, anything from rice krispies to lucky charms would do, now I usually just drink and play, sometimes it is water, other times it might be soda or beer
