We'd Totally Give Up Sex for These 26 Foods
If you've ever seen any advertisement, you'll often notice that sex is the selling point. Whether blunt or subtle, sex is something to be desired.
So yes, the common phrase "sex sells" is probably true. But, is it truer than the phrase "food sells?" The foods below (no, bananas are not included) taste so good I'm willing to bet money that people would give up sex for them.
1. Molten Chocolate Cake
The oozing, molten center of this cake makes for a sexy finished dish. It's easy to crave something so sweet and satisfying.
2. Movie Theater Popcorn
Think of that warm butter dripping down the bag of popcorn and try to tell me that you wouldn't give up sex for this snack. The salty crunch is the real reason to see a movie.
3. Warm Chocolate Chip Cookies
Anything warm out of an oven is automatically delicious. But, warm, gooey chocolate chip cookies are a perfect way to end your day.
4. Taco John's Potato Olés
There hasn't been a day where I haven't thought about Taco John's potato olés. The salty seasoning on top of the crunchy fried potatoes is to die for.
5. Cookie Dough
I've already admitted that sometimes I make cookie dough just to eat. There are times when cookie dough is the most important part of your life.
6. Cappuccino
Coffee is addicting. The sweet, foamy milk paired with espresso is something to sip on while having a nice chat with friends.
7. Burritos
Burritos are so good that there are many stories about the rankings of burritos. It's clear that America has a serious burrito addiction.
8. S'mores
Texture is a huge factor with s'mores. The crunch of the graham cracker goes so well with the melted chocolate and chewy marshmallow. Whenever a bonfire is lit, s'mores are sure to be around.
9. Chick-fil-A Chicken Nuggets
Chick-fil-A has dang good chicken nuggets. And luckily, now you can make them on Sundays. I wouldn't give up these nuggets for anything.
10. Boxed Wine
Okay, so maybe boxed wine isn't the fanciest, classiest or even best-tasting food at the market. But, who can resist a sugary drink sold in bulk?
11. Ice Cream in a Waffle Cone
Ben and Jerry's out of a pint is good... but what about when paired with a warm, crunch waffle cone? It's even better.
#SpoonTip: If you're making waffle cones on your own, add a little cinnamon to make it special.
12. Seasoned Waffle Fries
Fries are a unique and personalized product—everyone likes their fries a different way. Personally, I'm a fan of the seasoned waffle fries. They have the right amount of crunch with the perfect amount of saltiness.
13. Donuts
No explanation necessary. Donuts are delicious.
14. Margaritas
Who knew the combination of tequila, citrus and salt could make such a tasty drink. And paired with steak tacos, it's the dreamiest meal you can think of.
15. Hot and Crispy Bacon
The best part about bacon is that you can put it on so many things. Crumble some crispy bacon on some Brussels sprouts to make them edible. Put a few strips on a burger and you've got a better burger. It's great on its own, but it's even better with a buddy.
16. Pumpkin Pie
I wish it was acceptable to eat pumpkin pie all year round.
17. Steak Tacos
I crave steak tacos more than anything else. Find a good, authentic taco, and you'll be set for dinner.
18. Oreos Dipped in Milk
Why do Oreos get so much better after being soaked in milk? Oreos really are milk's favorite cookie. The creamier the milk, the better.
19. Mashed Potatoes
Mashed potatoes aren't just for Thanksgiving. They can be quick and easy too, if you know how to make them.
20. Snickerdoodles
I was inspired by my sister to add this food—her favorite cookie is Snickerdoodle. Again, fresh out of the oven is the way to go.
21. Cheese
Science says cheese is addictive, and I believe it. Whether stinky or sweet, cheese is a perfect pairing for a lot of foods.
22. Onion Rings
Salty, crunchy, greasy onion rings can make or break a meal. They're even better with some Chipotle-Ranch dipping sauce.
22. Sesame Chicken
Chinese food is usually fried, covered in sauce and terrible for you. That doesn't stop me from eating it almost every week. Sesame chicken is the most basic Chinese meal, and it has the best sauce to go along with it.
23. Creamy Mac and Cheese
Whether it's cooked on the stovetop or baked in the oven, ooey-gooey mac n' cheese is to die for. And, it's every college student's go-to meal.
24. Sushi
Sushi is great because it comes in so many varieties. If some like it spicy, it's easy to order a spicy roll of sushi. Or, find yourself getting a mild California roll. Sushi is versatile, trendy and a great way to spend an evening out.
25. Cheesy Garlic Bread
Garlic bread is good, and cheese bread is good. Combine them together and you get an appetizer that you won't be able to forget about.
26. Guacamole
And finally, the holy grail of snack foods: guacamole. It costs extra at most restaurants for a reason, folks.
I'm sure I didn't hit all of the crave-able dishes that people would give up sex for, but I'm sure this is a solid starting list. Just maybe don't tell your partner you agree.
