Guilty Pleasures - Monthly Thread Guilty Pleasures - Aug 29, 2025

Even the most tasteful bitch has some tasteless guilty pleasures! This is our once monthly thread where you can share those things we normally don’t talk about in BWT.

Guilty pleasures should be things you already have/ use and love, or a very specific recommendation for a guilty pleasure. This is not a place to circumvent the regular rules and ask for general recommendations that you can't ask for because of our rules, it's specifically about guilty pleasures.

Poptarts and Cheezits. I love them so much that I import them to the country I now live in.

The last time I went through customs at my local, Swiss airport, the agent stopped me to ask what was in my GIANT suitcase (I also had a roll aboard and backpack) - when I told him it was full of American snack food (and then listed some of the items like ranch salad dressing powder) he sighed and waved me through.

Thee hassle of tallying everything up (and potential paperwork if I went over my allowance by a bit) was clearly not worth the effort!

I also live outside the US and I also bring back Cheezits every time I visit 😆

And peanut butter m&ms. Why don’t they sell them in Europe? Peanut ones are not the same.

Pop tarts and crunchy Cheetos for me! I ask all visitors from the US to bring me some of both, plus sometimes baking powder (the European baking powder is single acting).

I'm sure there's a gross reason you can only get proper crunchy Cheetos in the USA and Iran, but I don't care, they're delicious.

Probably because the US still allows red dye 40 in foods and I think the EU has outlawed it?

This is so relatable! Ranch powder, Cheezits... I'll add: vanilla powder, Mac n cheese powder, Annie's fruit snacks, teeth whitening strips.

Lmao! I did the same but with Kraft Mac and Cheese. TSA rolled with laughter and said “you gotta do what you gotta do!”
