    Cream cheese, in particular, should be on there.

    • Potatoes
    • Ice Cream

    I'm very disappointed in the people this study was done on. Number 1 should be bacon, followed by at least 7 bacon flavored things.

    I mean seriously, how is this glorious thing not the only thing we eat every day?

    And chocolate made it only to 2nd rank. Something must have gone wrong with those statistics...

    Strawberries and pretzels are close together on the list. I am o.k. with strawberries, :)
    but pretzels send me off to the same place a bag of chips does.

    I'm not saying what will happen, but if you want to save any quantity of sweet corn fritters, don't leave me alone with them.

    Pretzels oh man, those are my weakness...and cream cheese. Together. I used to be able to eat a whole package of cream cheese and almost an entire bag of pretzels in one sitting. :s

    I can eat a whole box of Nutri-grain bars. They just taste so good and do nothing for me. I think they should be on this list B)

    To agree with other posters, bacon is definitely underranked. More disturbing about bacon is saying it's not processed.

    Nor the cheese. Off to catch / shoot / pick some cheese......

    NUTS! Raw mixed nuts, - I am totally without will power when it comes to nuts. I can, and have, eaten a large Tesco packet of mixed nuts in one sitting. I just don't buy them anymore, but I miss them

    breakfast cereal (assuming it means cold cereal like Cap'n Crunch) needs to be higher on this list!

    Lol Nicole Avena.

    I find it interesting she used mean score for the 2nd figure it's really not a good measure for this purpose. Something like a top 2 box might yield more insights

    Most of my bug ones made the list. Did they include southerners in this? Corn and cake made the list, but not corn cake or cornbread. That would be in my top two. I know many people who would put it high on their lists.
