Power ranking the 10 best snacks for football season

8. Breakfast food
Unless you’re a soulless ghoul, you probably love breakfast food. We’re talking eggs and bacon and hash browns and sausage and waffles and even more bacon. Here’s another thing: you probably love eating breakfast foods during hours that are not traditionally breakfast hours. Think about how exciting it is to have breakfast for dinner: it’s wild! Breakfast food is far easier to make than, say, a casserole and a salad, but you have an omelet in the evening and it seems like the fanciest thing in the world.
So considering that you a) love breakfast food and b) really love breakfast food during non-breakfast hours, then why don’t you make breakfast food for afternoon and evening football games? What’s stopping you, the limits of that puny mind of yours that I just blew with this awesome idea?
Did you see how excited people were on social media when McDonald’s announced all-day breakfasts will begin this October? All that celebration at the thought of purchasing a disgusting Egg McMuffin in the afternoon! (McDonald’s-Breakfast-Is-Actually-Good Truthers can get the hell out.) I do not know what it is that makes people so wild about late-in-the-day breakfast food, but the idea whips people into a frenzy. Science needs to study this.
I guarantee that people will adore you if you serve them breakfast food at your next football get-together. They will remember you forever, will probably even tell their grandkids about you and the great idea that you got off a sports blog. Don’t be afraid to be memorable.
