At the end of his life, my grandpa subsisted on 2 pints of strawberry banana yoplait yogurt and a pack of Coors light a day. What dietary hell will you fall into?

I'm never upset with a decent burger

[–] Volkditty@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My grandpa drank 14 cans of Diet Pepsi and a box of Milkbone dog treats when he had the Alzheimer's.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

They are kinda dry.

Chips & Salsa
Hagan Däz Dulce de Leche ice cream

[–] meep_launcher@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

As you hear the words "goodnight sweet prince", you take your final bite of the Däz.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I love that flavor of ice cream. I’m pissed though, my local Wawa doesn’t carry it anymore

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Don’t get the one with churro. Not even close to as good.

[–] papertowels@lemmy.one 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

When I'm senile? Ice cream sandwiches. I'd have forgotten I'm lactose intolerant, God be with the poor soul taking care of me.

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Little Debbie Zebra Cakes all day long.

[–] meep_launcher@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Thats what I'm talkin' about.

And I bet this time you recieved blood before you got them

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My dad ate a ding dong a drank a Pepsi every single day for decades. He's going strong at 85, but it was the stones that made him quit

[–] KittenBiscuits@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mick & Keith really are a couple of wet blankets.

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

You can't always get what you want

Obligatory OP comment:

I'd probably drink PBR Xtra and the Cookies and Cream ice cream from Aldi all day and then croak.

[–] Smokeydope@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Big gallon bucket of cookies and cream ice cream from aldis is a godsend.

[–] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Chicken flavor Maruchan Ramen. I would eat that shit every day If I didn't gain 5 pounds per ounce of any carbs I consume.

[–] Soup@lemmy.cafe 2 points 1 year ago

That’s one of the few gluten laced things I will gladly sacrifice for. I boil the seasoning right in the water and add garlic and Asian hot spices in it.

Feel like shit for it- but WORTH IT!

Farofa with nuts! (It's actually tasty. Specially with walnuts, bacon, and raisins. I wouldn't be preparing it if senile though - I'd completely forget about Christmas.)

Do the candy corns melt into the pizza?

[–] Today@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You eat the candy corn woke you wait for the delivery or oven.

[–] KittenBiscuits@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Probably pop tarts and diet coke

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If I'm still able to cook, almost certainly pierogi.

[–] theatomictruth@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What do you like to fill them with?

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 3 points 1 year ago

I make two types. One that is filled with mashed potatoes with a little bit of cheese and one that is filled with a sauerkraut and mushroom mixture.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Mini-peirogi

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Diet Pepsi (specifically from the individual bottles, the other taste different to me) and bagged popcorn. If LesserEvil isn't out of business, you'll find me mummified under their pink salt popcorn. Don't weep, for it will mean I went with a joyous heart ~~and probably choking on a kernal~~.

[–] Poots@mander.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

I’d hope I get stuck on Drumstick ice cream with the hard shell chocolate

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I eat less and less the older I get. I feel like eventually, I will be able to sustain myself on air alone.

[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

There's a religion for that, Breatharianism

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The only thing any workingmam needs for any meal is a nice hot pasty.

Give me that and a drink or two, I shall die happy as my forebears before me.

[–] dwindling7373@feddit.it 3 points 1 year ago

The cheapest insect based product, hopefully.

No idea and hope to die before then as I have seen the progress on this and would not wish it on anyone.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

So much oatmeal. I love oatmeal.

[–] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've got a lemonade recipe that I will happily be "forgetting" I already made a batch of for the rest of my life.

I call it the Swiss Lion, and it's creamy fruity lemony goodness.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Zest a small bag of lemons, 4 to 5, then peel the lemons and reserve the zest with the lemon flesh.

Get a box of strawberries and chop off the tops before cutting up and tossing in with the zest and lemon flesh.

Get a cup of cane sugar, and pour it into the bowl before tossing the whole mess together as much as possible, then spread it into a baking pan.

Either hit it with a kitchen torch, or slap it under the broiler for 2 minutes.

Toss it all in the blender with 2 cups of chilled water and give it just enough pulses to get it all combined together.

Strain it into a bowl, then strain it again back into the blender.

Add in 1 to 3 cans of sweetened condensed milk to desired consistency, and cane sugar to taste.

Blend it all together one more time with a handful of ice cubes and voilà.

Swiss because the sweetened condensed milk and zest are from what's called a Brazilian Lemonade, but what the Brazilians call a Limonada Suisse, and Lion because the Strawberries Cane Sugar and Torch come from Detroit (lions) 75 Kitchen Lemonade.

Why in the world would you include the lemon pith? Or is that not what you mean by "lemon flesh"?

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You'd be surprised how many recipes use a bit of rind.

[–] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I can imagine, but it only adds bitterness. Seems counterproductive for this application.

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Cold brew coffee and salted peanuts.

Is this federating?

[–] gencha@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Hopefully Chivas Regal and cocaine

[–] Dumbkid@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Buffalo chicken sandwich, beer

[–] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Fresh apples and lots of sweets.

Now that I think about it, maybe I could even survive on that :-)
