There’s a story that my husband likes to tell about a trip he and I took to California when I was almost 7 months pregnant with our youngest. The trip out there took all day and by the time we arrived at our hotel, we just had an hour to get ready for the big welcome banquet for his work.

I hadn’t eaten much more than a bag of pretzels on the plane since breakfast and I was HUNGRY.

When we arrived at the banquet, everyone was standing around socializing, waiting for the welcome speech. But food was being brought out and put into the warmers on the sides of the lawn. Food that everyone else was waiting to eat until after the official welcome.

Everyone else except me. Almost seven month pregnant plus hours since I ate = a really cranky and hungry pregnant woman. I didn’t care that no one else was eating or that we were supposed to wait… I loaded up my plate, sat down, and chowed down, while people around me laughed and then told me it was okay since I was eating for two. I swatted away the hands that were trying to pat my baby belly and focused on my food. I might have even growled at people.

I’m scary when I’m hungry. Cranky, with no patience whatsoever. I also lose my focus. Which is why I make sure that I stock up on snacks. Whether it’s at home on my desk while I work or in my bag on the baseball or soccer field. I need to have something to snack on. Trust me, you want me to have a snack!

SNICKERS® is a yummy choice for a snack. I like SNICKERS Peanut Butter Squares and SNICKERS Extreme (which is nuts and caramel covered in milk chocolate, in case you haven’t had this one yet).

I found SNICKERS® in the candy aisle at Family Dollar, plus near the cash register. But if you’re looking for a certain kind, be sure to look around because they aren’t always all grouped together.

  1. When I’m hungry, I’m like a sampling of the Seven Dwarves — Grumpy, Sleepy, and Dopey. (But mostly Grumpy.) And I won’t deny that there is an element of the super bitchy in there, as well. That one hangs around most of the time anyway, regardless of my hunger status. LOL

  5. When I’m hungry I’m super cranky. I remember as a teen my SIL told my ex when I get grumpy to feed me. It’s so true. I’m the worst!

  7. I can definitely get a little cranky when I’m hungry! I love the peanut butter snickers but original will always be my favorite.

  8. Snickers are my absolute fav! My son has gotten my love for snickers and I found out just what it can do to a 4 year old! lol Thankfully he had a tball game and was able to use all that energy!

  9. I get hangry very easily and can turn into a real moody meanie when that happens. I usually snack on trail mix or a granola bar but would never turn down chocolate!

  11. According to my husband I am grumpy when I am hungry. I love having a Snickers bar between lunch and dinner for a snack.

  13. This is hilarious! I am definitely guilty of being a witch when I’m hungry! I need to keep more Snickers on hand!

  14. Snickers are my favorite candy bar! When I’m hungry I get quick to snap at people, and like you I find it hard to focus on what I’m doing! Which reminds me, I need a snack LOL

  16. Seriously, we were hungry a lot when we were kids, so being hungry scares me. I keep snacks like fruit, pretzels, nuts, and candy around the house and carry a treat or two when I’m traveling. I’m glad you broke convention and got something to eat. Meanwhile, I’m looking at the picture of the Snickers Xtreme and thinking I need to get a few to have on hand when I go shopping tomorrow.

  17. I try to snack on fruit and vegetables. When i have a sweet craving i love to have a Peanut Butter Snickers. I love the salty and sweet combination.

  18. I’m hangry when I get hungry!! But really, I try not to let myself get to that point. I keep protein bars and shakes near by, they are my “go-to” when I reach that point.

  21. My husband gets hangry if he doesn’t have food in him. We keep snacks on hand, definitely. 😉 I like Snickers, I want to try some of the new kinds I haven’t yet.
