We all have a soft spot for food or drinks that are deliciously trashy.

Fish sticks

Childhood nostalgia in a crispy jacket. And sometimes you still shamelessly grab this pack from the freezer aisle.

Pink iced cakes

Exactly how you should eat this cake is a matter of debate. The cake first or the icing first?

Babybel

Fans of this ultra-young cheese get a kick out of the packaging. First you take this cheese out of that crazy red jacket, only to find a crazy white little cheese inside.

Mini-Babybel-Cheese

Dubbelvla

Putting a carton of Dubbelvla on the table after dinner may well be one of the most Dutch scenes ever. Do you eat the vanilla or chocolate first? Some people also put the carton to their mouths, but we won’t name names.

Instant noodles

The combination of salt, softness and MSG (flavor enhancer) is unbeatable. Eat these noodles without a shred of guilt, just like hero David Chang, who is crazy about them.

Macaroni with diced ham and ketchup

This dish is on the table in two seconds and slides right down. Chewing is optional.

Ready-made lasagna

Hearing the microwave go ‘ding’ sends a blissful feeling through you, because a few seconds later you’ll be polishing off a whole lot of dough and sauce.

Ristorante pizza

This of course has absolutely nothing to do with Italian pizza, because the base consists of dough that seems to have been puréed in a blender first. But if you get home from work very late one evening and you’re starving, a box of this pizza in your freezer is a dream come true.

Frikandel roll

This snack with a frikandel, puff pastry and curry sauce is perfect when you’re hungover. We’ll have two right away.

Blue Taksi

Once labeled a healthy drink, we now know that this sickly sweet, supposedly tropical drink is packed with sugar.
