Binge eat while you binge watch with these addicting salty snacks. They can be more addicting than watching your favorite show, but just like the series, these snacks are totally worth it. A warm, soft pretzel is just as tempting, and it will definitely keep you on your couch. You might as well settle in and keep snacking.

2. Pigs in a Blanket

The best part about a sundae is you can fit it into any movie genre. Add some crunchy nuts for an action-packed movie night, bananas for a sweet comedy, or just simply smother it with chocolate syrup for a sappy romcom.
