I was so amused when my sister pulled out a big sandwich bag full of snacks out of her school bag. This was her emergency stash. While they come in handy when your sweet tooth’s acting up, they’re also great to take the boredom out of long waits. She had Nissin’s wafers, Andes chocolates and Haw Flakes. Needless to say one of those Haw Flakes disappeared in a flash. Dumdeedum.
As for me, all I have is a box of mints. Sometimes I have a Granola bar. These are the little foodums that get me through my day.
Do YOU keep an emergency stash of snacks in your bag?
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

Sapphire Dreams
June 7, 2005 at 1:57 am (19 years ago)No, because they will never last. =p I, however, have a plastic storage box so huge by my bed and inside are all sorts of junkfood and chocolate and I fill it up every week. Seriously. =p

June 7, 2005 at 11:11 pm (19 years ago)during boring lectures, mentos does the trick. but on occasional snack attacks, i crave for chips and chocolates and ice cream and pastry and….

June 7, 2005 at 11:15 pm (19 years ago)I don’t have a stash anymore, but I used to carry one in high school and college –so much so that all my friends have said they’d want to be stuck in a deserted island with me b/c they know I’d have food!
maiji
June 8, 2005 at 12:49 am (19 years ago)i always have something chocolate in my stash at the office. comes in handy when i need something other than coffee to perk me up in the mid-afternoon.
TinTin
June 8, 2005 at 3:02 am (19 years ago)Almost all my purses are too small to hold any snacks or other non-essentials. I know, i know, snacks are part of the essentials! Hahah..I need to buy bigger purses for my snacks.
Christine
June 8, 2005 at 6:01 am (19 years ago)i have a packet of gum in my bag and that’s about it. We’ve got a food vendo machine at work and it’s so tempting to get stuff there all the time! Kainis!
jojo
June 8, 2005 at 12:24 pm (19 years ago)i wish i could go on without having to munch in between meals, pero i can’t help but give in to temptation 😀
nahihiligan ko these days yung Nagaraya Sweet-Mini Pretzels. i like Toby’s spicy peanuts too 😀 sometimes, i have a coke light to go with it.

June 8, 2005 at 10:16 pm (19 years ago)anything nutty to give me energy! plus it gives me enough salt so that i don’t get cramps, more applicable when hiking though hehe!

AnP : Isa kang dakilang chocoholic!
Sapphire Dreams : By your bed?!
Perfect for midnight snacks!

BabyPink : Sige nga! Tingnan ko bag mo next time! Hehehe.
Junnie : Hehehe you’re making me crave for onion rings! Mmmm!
Tin : You’re exactly like my sis. Only she’s not acidic, just someone with a sweet tooth haha!
Linnor : … and pizza and nachos and Coke? 😛 I could go on and on too!
Kat : Hahaha! Well if you ate a lot of snacks then, you sure must’ve burned it really well! You’re so trim now!
maiji : Nice idea! Me naman I need chocolate when I’m having a bummer day at work.
TinTin : Or buy mini-snacks!
Christine : Oh my! Temptation!

June 9, 2005 at 1:41 pm (19 years ago)haw flakes?!! wow, that takes me back, way, way back! i would’ve gone for the andes, because i’m a chocoholic too. very interesting snacks from the commenters
Renee
June 10, 2005 at 7:19 am (19 years ago)When you get to be a Mom, having a handy stash of snacks is a necessity. I always have a bag of Cheerios somewhere, for Reanna to munch on, and some crackers for all of the kids.
p.s. my husband also makes up lyrics to songs, which never fails to crack me up. I like them because the new words usually allude to a shared secret between the two of us.
