The folks at the University of Michigan wanted to find out too and figured out the reasons we binge on certain foods. They came up with a ranking of most-addictive foods.
Probably to no one’s surprise, pizza topped the list, followed by chocolate and chips.
The study’s authors say there’s a reason for that.
“Processed foods, or foods with added amounts of fat and/or refined carbohydrates, were most associated with addictive-like eating behaviors,” according to the report published in the Public Library of Science.

Chips are for me. I put chips in my sandwiches and burgers...

Had to go with ice cream, but cookies is a close second (or even first when fresh out of the oven).
But why choose? I keep seeing these cookie dough places popping up that sell it like ice cream.
Yes, chips are my weak point too. Classic Lays. And man, put a nice garlic yogurt dip to go with it, and it's all over!
Not at all dangerous if you take out the egg.Why would anyone eat cookie dough? That's disgusting and dangerous.
How do you ‘dip’ Classic Lays? I can break Doritos in room temperature bean dip. I love Lays Classic, but can only use one hand for all the grease. And they are fragile..........

I must admit it doesn't have nearly the appeal that it did when I was a kid.
Bacon.
Bacon and eggs. Bacon and beef. Bacon and sausage. Bacon and salad. Bacon and potatoes. Bacon and ice cream. Bacon and apple pie. Bacon and bourbon. Bacon and pizza. Bacon and pasta. Bacon and broccoli.

As I have gotten older, I have found Pita chips and hummus are pretty good. It's healthy, and addictive- but can be eaten guilt-free. If anyone asks, I can tell them it's "Mediterranean diet". The hummus has to be a certain particular kind they have at a local Lebanese grocery store near our house. I don't know what they do, but it is the best darned hummus I have had anywhere. I think they put more lemon and salt in it than the average hummus, but I'm not sure. Whatever. It's great stuff for a snack, or even a quick, light meal. They also have great tabouli to go with it. And there are these canned sour cherry drinks, imported from Turkey, which go very well with it. Healthy, and addictive!
