What Are The Most Unhealthy Snacks You Could Eat?
Unfortunately, the most unhealthy snacks are typically the best. Very rarely does a vegetable end up someone’s favorite snack.
That’s not to say it shouldn’t be! It turns out some of our most beloved snack choices are the absolute worst for us. However, what are the worst of the worst for you? Check out what one blog is calling the most unhealthy snacks on the planet below! Unless you want to stay ignorant and blind to the truth so you can keep enjoying these treats, of course.
What Are The Most Unhealthy Snacks On The Planet?
Some people want to know all the nutritional facts of a snack before they eat it. It makes sense, you want to know what you’re consuming. However, sometimes it’s probably best not to know. At least if you want to continue eating the snacks you enjoy.
EatThis.com made a list of the 40 Unhealthiest Snacks on the Planet. Unfortunately, the list is filled with some of our favorite go-to snacks. Some of these defined my childhood! Now, it’s all starting to make sense.
Snacks are intended to give us an extra boost between meals. However, it’s important to choose the right snack. According to EatThis.com, nutritious snacks that are rich in protein, fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants can help satisfy cravings and can prevent overeating. However, if you choose an unhealthy snack that’s filled with sugar, sodium, and saturated fats it might actually leave you more hungry than you were before!
What Are The Most Unhealthy Snacks?
According to EatThis.com, the most healthy snack available on the market is Little Debbie Zebra Cakes. No! Those are one of my favorites! They were always my choice if I had to grab a sweet dessert treat in the lunch line. They are so good! Unfortunately, they are also incredibly unhealthy. They contain 320 calories, 14 grams of fat (8g of which are saturated fats), 150mg of sugar, 34 grams of sugar, and 47g of carbs–in each cake!
Smucker’s Goober Grape comes in second on EatThis.com’s list of the most unhealthy snacks. There are some much healthier peanut butter and jelly combos available on the market. It’s almost an entire day’s worth of sugar! Yikes.
According to EatThis.com, the Top 5 is rounded out with Ritz Bits Cheese Sandwich crackers, Turtle Chex Mix, and Little Debbie Swiss Rolls. All fantastic snacks that I enjoy very much! These are all common in pantries and it looks like I have some changes to make on my shopping list if I want to improve my health.
Doritos came in at 6th place on EatThis.com’s list–another one of my favorite snacks. Did your favorite snack make EatThis.com’s list of the 40 most unhealthy snacks on the market? Check out their full list here!
5 Best Fast Food Items On The Value Menu
Today, there are seemingly unlimited options in the fast food landscape. You have options for burgers, chicken sandwiches, tacos, and more. Anything you want you can have. When you’re on-the-go and looking for a quick bite, there’s nothing better than the value menu. Every fast food restaurant has one. Here are the best fast food items on the value menu.
We all know that fast food is appealing because of its low price and easy access. With prices for combos on the rise, I find myself looking at the value menu more often than ever before. I need to save where I can!

Best Of The Best
I have spent so much time in drive-thrus that I think I could be considered an expert witness in a court case, at this point. I’ve seen delicious items come and go, prices climb, and experiences all the promos and deals. Why did KFC get rid of the Twister? When will McDonald’s bring back the famous Snack Wraps? These are all questions I ask every day, and sadly have no answers for. However, one day…we will get them back. I truly believe it in my heart of hearts.
I could go on and on about my love for the value menu. I’d say at least once a week I think back on my high school days when the Junior Bacon Cheeseburger from Wendy’s was only 99 cents. Do you remember that? 99 cents! It was amazing. Now, the price for one JBC is closer to $3 than it is 99 cents. I feel like this is the new version of that old “back in my day, we’d walk 2 miles to school up hill both ways! stories your grandparents would tell. Now, these stories are all about how low the value menu prices were back in our day. “When I was your age, every item on the dollar menu was a dollar!”
After years of research, I’ve finally identified the best of the best when it comes to value menus. On this list, you’ll find burgers, chicken sandwiches, tacos, and even some items that fall into the ‘miscellaneous’ category. Without further delay, let’s get to the list!

McChicken - McDonald's
It never misses. Of all the value menu chicken sandwiches, none are better than the McChicken.

McDonald’s has announced it will make changes to its low-priced Dollar Menu, which includes items like coffee, small fries, hamburgers and apple pies. The new menu, dubbed the Dollar Menu and More, will offer some higher priced options such as the grilled Onion Cheddar Burger and a McChicken sandwich.
