and couldn't eat a regular meal. It was a bit different for night games though where he'd eat pasta.

He also said at halftime linemen eat steak but don't cut it up. Just pick it up with a fork and bite into it.

Many of my ultra marathon running friends swear by Swedish Fish as their energy source during races. -- nm - Dano Jul 2, 07:51 2
- Interesting. I had read a while back that some eat Snickers bars. -- nm - Krusty Jul 2, 08:02 1
  - It's personal preference. It's about keeping your glucose stores up. -- nm - Dano Jul 2, 09:17
Swedish fish are the worst. Ugh. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 2, 07:23 13
- No milk shakes, no Swedish Fish. Anything else that tastes awesome that you dislike? ;-) - Krusty Jul 2, 07:41 12
  - Oh, and black licorice is great. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 2, 07:58 4
    - I enjoy black licorice as well. I'm open to most candy though I really shouldn't eat it. -- nm - Krusty Jul 2, 08:01 3
      - I avoid sour candy, anything with almonds. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 2, 08:06 2
        
        I'm not a fan of almonds either. I enjoy some sour candy like sour patch kids and the ribbons but not super sour things or hard candy. - Krusty Jul 2, 08:11

  - Have you ever had Swedish fish Italian ice? - the wrong element Jul 2, 07:51 5
    - I didn't know that was a thing but I might need to find it now. -- nm - Krusty Jul 2, 07:52 4
      - There are a few Rita's in NYC. See if any close to you have it. - the wrong element Jul 2, 08:07 3
        
        There was one nearby but they closed after the summer of 2019. It used to be one of those places that does ices in the summer and soup in the winter. - Krusty Jul 2, 08:12 2
        
        That's a shame. They have a sour patch kids flavor, too. - the wrong element Jul 2, 08:17 1
        
        I'll keep my eye out for them as I'm wandering around this summer. Love me some ices! -- nm - Krusty Jul 2, 08:31

As VP of the Chrebet Fan Club, I second President Krusty's anecdote. -- nm - Baronnoo Jul 2, 07:16

Eating while exercising or doing sports never worked well for me. -- nm - budice Jul 2, 07:11 1
- Yeah, I wouldn't eat before games either. I felt heavy and not energized. I would devour hot dogs after the games ended. -- nm - Krusty Jul 2, 07:16
