Best food +/or drink to have for gaming.

[Stalk3rchief]

When sitting down and relaxing to play a game, I often bring food and drink with me. Personally, I always drink coffee and eat Doritos, but I'm freak.
So I started wondering, what does everyone else bring with them?

Well when I was more of a gaming nut, before I found my hobby for Sports, Fitness and full contact fighting, I used to (and still do every now and again if I'm lazy) drink either alot of Coffee (2 sugars+ Milk) or Pepsi Max, Food well Crisps, Doritos, Pepperami's, I'n all honesty I dont know a good or bad food for gaming, it all goes on taste, I did however like Hard boiled sweets.

I don't eat or drink when I'm gaming, it's too distracting.

Popcorn! nothing beats it! nothing will!

I dont eat while gaming. I drink coke and tea.
If I get hungry ill make a sandwich and watch random youtube movies, then continue gaming.

Us pro gamers don't need food.

I usually throw down with a 2 liter of Mountain Dew and 3 bags of sunflower seeds (1 each of barbecue, regular, and ranch).

Doritos? Not the best choice. You get all that powder on your fingers and then it mixes with the sweat on your hands and you end up with a sticky controller. Or you wipe them on your trousers or shirt, and then you look a mess. The same with all crisps, chocolate and most sweet things. Really you want a biscuit or cookie or whatever, something dry.
Any caffiene in a drink is good, but sugar mixed with a sweet snack will make you feel sickly and limit your comfort while playing. You really need to base your choice around what food you're having.
Typically I'd go for a pack of biscuits and a bottle of cola.

Dr. Pepper! and ramen.

I just have a "game beer" while I'm playing.

I've never once looked at it that way. I just get what tastes good and try not to get my controller too messy. It's comfortable for me, even with the occasional lapse in a game where I have to lay in some tall grass so I can wipe my hands clean.

Cream Soda, pizza (a kind that doesn't get your hands messy) and some sort of slurpee. Good to go.

if im settling down for an evening of the old xbox, its usually a flask of coffee, just to keep it hot, 2 litres of coke/sprite, some kind of sour sweet and crispy snack (peanuts, hula hoops, anything in a big packet) normally eat down microphone and disgust/aurally offend friends in my party just for the crack

 

[madman485]

gatorade or fruitopia with some nachos and cheese. but thats for gamecube or ps2 most often.

 

[kawligia]

Pizza because its delicious and because I can hold it by the crust to eat it with one hand and not get food on my keyboard/mouse.
