I have been mylotting off and on this morning and listing a few things on ebay. In the process I have eaten almost a half of a Toblerone candy bar. Anyone who knows what they are...they are pretty big. It seems like I always have to be snacking on something. My favorite snack food are pizza goldfish crackers. Oh...I love those. Do you snack at the computer? What is your favorite snacky food?

Yes, I like toblerones too, my favourite snack at the pc is toast, I usually eat my breakfast at the keyboard as well. I can't remember the number of times I've treated my keyboard to a cup of coffee.

so, you also feed your keyboard once in a while, jamesbong. there are times when we just couldn't help it, some food splashes therein. maybe, the keyboard gets hungry once in a while, too, without our knowing it...that's why this happens. hehehe. when it is so hard to be pounding on the keyboard right, i am sure that it has already gotten too much of its fill. so, i had to clean it. at most times, i ask my children to help me with the cleaning. lol.

Yeah, I'm eating when I'm surfing the net. Corn chips, chocolate bars, nachos and candies and stuff. Recently, I sold my desktop computer to my uncle 'cause my aunt bought me a new laptop and he bought a new keyboard 'cause there's ants in the old one, lol. I just said to him that he should have just clean it, lol.

Lol. I think I was kinda like that but I'm not bringing any liquid, sodas or juices near my computer. I was worried my clumsiness would take me to trouble of sending my computer for repair if I spill it. I guess, just remind your husband to be extra careful on liquids.

My husband really snacks while he is at the computer. I am sure if we bought a can of that spray air that you blow out your keyboard with...we would find a crumb of everything he has ever eaten at the computer. Knock on wood, no liquid spill as of yet.

You have very good self control. I think now for me it has become more of a habit to snack while I am at the computer. I am sure I would lose a few pounds if I stopped.

yes, if there's something that i could eat lol! but yes, i tend to have my snack while i am on the computer, sometimes if i feel so lazy at home and i am using the computer i even eat my lunch and/or dinner in front of my computer especially when i am just home alone.

Based on most of the responses I got , pretty much everyone does. I think it has turned into the same as snacking while watching t.v.

I do snack sometimes, mostly I try not to because what ever I sit in front of I will eat pretty much all of it before I realize I have done that...LOL In the summer and fall I love to have popcorn, and in the winter I will do chocolates, or swedish fish...LOL, bad I know that is why I try to not snack when I am on the computer.. LOL

I have done the same thing...made myself something to eat and after sitting at the computer for a while go to reach for it and realizing...ooops, I already finished it. When? I don't even remember eating it. I don't think that is good since you should enjoy your meals. And that is kind of hard when you don't even remember eating it.

I am a snacker by nature. I while I do alot of my work on the computer, seems like that's really the only time I can sneak anything unhealthy that my kids can't see me having, lol... Candy bars, anything sweet is my downfall at the computer... But i've also been known to eat my breakfast, lunch and dinner at the computer. My husband works night so sometimes after I get him and the kids fed, i'll get him out the door in a timely and safe manner, and then it's bedtime for the kids... and finally I get to sit down to eat, so i take mine to the computer and eat while i check my email, and so on, and when I'm done, it's back to housework so I can head to bed.. saves time, lol.

Every day during the week, after I take the kids to school, I come home and eat breakfast ate the computer. Now, on the weekend when everyone is home we all sit together for breakfast but I still sneak in afterward with my coffee to check my email and read the morning news.

yes, i do take snacks while doing something at the computer. fruit juices are sure winners for me. then, some candies like chocolates, mentos and dynamite. there are times when i eat my sandwich while doing some surfing, too. although i know that it is not good to be doing this, as some food debris might fall and dirty the keyboard, i just couldn't help it. yes, i know about these toblerones. however, they are available here in different sizes. you bet that we buy these chocolates in various sizes. there are times when i feel eating the small ones rather than the big ones. then there are times when all three of us in the house will partake of a single bar. so, we shall take hold of the biggest size. happy eating, 4ofmyown.

Thank you so much. I will have to look for the smaller sizes next time. Enjoy your next Toblerone!

I often snack while doing the things I like, such reading a favorite book, watching TV or movies or working at the computer (working or playing ). My usual snacks are chips, crisps, nuts, chocolates, ice-cream!

It is funny because I usually don't snack while watching t.v. or reading but there is something about when I am in front of the computer. It is like I am programmed to snack on something as soon as I sit down.

I don't usually snack. I only eat at my computer at work. I work for a small business and don't usually take lunch, I eat at my desk and work. I use a laptop at home and that doesn't make for easy snacking. I love sweet and salty snacks though, like Payday candy bars.
