Okay folks. We at FR are some of the most intelligent people on the internet. I'm here seeking help for my addiction. I thought I had it under control until I bought my last bag of Snyder's of Hanover Jalapeno Pretzel Pieces. The bag was demolished and my thought is to run back to the grocery store and buy more. I can't go five minutes without thinking about them. I dream about them. I taste them in everything I eat. Life is becoming unbearable without them. What should I do? Is there a Federal program to help? Isn't this the same as cocaine addiction, meth addiction, being a Commurat, or a Barney Frank supporter? I need help!!!

There is a rehab clinic in Mississippi I think. Spend two weeks and a bunch of money and you will be found cured. Then you can get all your endorsements back.

Utz’s Party Mix should help. Let us know how THAT turns out. ;)

My Snyder’s addiction involves their steak and onion flavor potato chips. I have just abandoned myself to it. I expect to be found at the bottom of a pile of empty steak and onion potato chip bags some day with a smile on my face.

It isn't the same as being a Barney Frank supporter. Except for the part about your life being consumed by an overwhelming desire to put hard things into your mouth.

I have read that if you experience a craving for a specific food item, such as describe here, that there is a good chance that you are allergic to it, and should avoid it.
Another thing that I read in a book about the food industry which MIGHT have been entitled FOOD GIANTS is that many agrobusiness companies intentionally put addictive substances into their processed food items to intentionally create addiction among unsuspecting members of the public.
I have no idea if this is true.
Another thing your posting reminds me of is having read many times through the years that if your are able to totally avoid a specific food for three full weeks, with NO cheating, that you will lose your yen for it.

You could always move to Rhode Island and run for the 1st District’s Congressional Seat. I hear there’s an opening for an addict there.

It’s got a lot of monosodium glutamate in it. MSG creates addictions, which is why it is used so much in food.
You’re going to have to go cold turkey. See if Wasabi peas or hot okra pickles will scratch your itch.

As for what you can do about it, buy a bunch of small zip-lock type bags. When you open the bag of Snyder’s, portion an amount into each bag (50 to 100 calorie’s worth). Then try to set some time limit that you have to spend between bags. Say 1 to 3 hours. Then you’re never more than 3 hours from your next fix, but you also won’t blow up your waistline.

You could switch to Wege broken sourdough hard pretzels. That would break your Snyder's habit. But it would be like going from crack to smack.

You might also consider using them as a condiment in a larger dish. For instance, you could make a big, green leafy salad with some lean protein and low fat dressing, and top it with a handful of Snyder’s Jalapeno Bites. Or you could mix them with some freeze dried fruit, such as apples or pears.

I confess that I too demolished a whole bag of their buffalo wing flavored bits, and was amazed at how addictive they were.
I will never, ever, put a bite of anything Snyder’s in my mouth again, because I do believe they added something that creates the craving.
I feel for ya; I really do.
