    I have a cup of nice warm broth, or some hot tea like a flavored type, or suck on a hard candy.

    I like wasabi nori snacks. Very "punchy" flavor, almost no calories, and the aftertaste keeps me from wanting to eat anything else

    I chew gum. Yum Yum gum comes in a gazillion flavors. Toffee and peanut butter are both good.

    Hickory Farms mini mint melties are 3 calories a piece and have a nice flavor for times like this.

    I drink some hot tea! There are tons of flavors out there and it's fun trying out new ones. Without any sweetener tea is 0 calories! Woo hoo!

    In those instances I chew gum or drink tea or infused water.

    Jolly Ranchers. A lot of taste for a little piece of candy.

    Do you ever get Jolly rancher dragon breath from those? I tried using those for this very purpose but man did they make my breath unbearable!

    Newmeadow, yes, those are the mints. I dole them out, usually about 5 at a time, and let them melt on my tongue one at a time with some time in between each melt. They last surprisingly long that way.

    Luckily, I can only purchase them around Christmas, in the malls. So one bag is all I get (it's a bigger bag than the one you have pictured, though). :smile:

    Have to agree with the others, Id probably go for some no or low calorie drink, hot tea when its cool, or diet soda when it's hot. I use stevia in my tea, so that has no calories. In some I use a a little bit of cashew milk but thats very low cal. If I eat candy its extremely hard to stop =/

    This is my struggle! I have some flavored sparkling water or hot tea. Honestly, this issue is how I got into this problem because I'd just grab a beer!

    It may sound silly but I clean my teeth. It gives me a clean mouth and removes the need for adding a taste or food.

    Tea, iced tea, flavoured water or diet soda.

    Once at work I wanted flavor without calories or caffeine. I found a small jar of "Italian Seasoning" and put a spoonful of it in hot water to make a tea. It worked.

    Or broth-based soup if I want salty flavour.

    Sparkling water, like parried or a gazillion brands out now. I have been digging hot tea before bed.
