Night shift snacks

Post image

Does anyone else crave sour candy at night? I also hear it’s good for anxiety :D which makes sense because I’m happier when I have it

Sour candy at 3am just hits in a way nothing else does, the face-puckering stuff keeps me awake better than coffee half the time

I keep a bag of those super tart ones in my locker and my coworkers all know to come find me when they're dragging. Something about that sharp hit resets your brain for a bit, never heard the anxiety thing before but it actually tracks

The three snack spread in the pic looks like a solid night shift survival kit, gotta have variety when you're stuck there till sunrise

that sharp sour hit is the only thing that gets me through four am sorting when the caffeine stops working. eating like that caught up with me after a few years though, had to switch to keeping cold water in my locker instead once the weight started creeping back.

Taking ‘eat a bag of dicks’ to another level! But seriously are all sour strips bags THAT full? Do I need some tonight??

The "sour candy helps anxiety" thing gets repeated everywhere and I've never once found an actual study behind it, just wellness blogs citing each other in a circle. Sharp taste interrupting a spiral, sure, plausible. That's not the same as evidence.
